softened by soft grey bloom Con-
cord and Tokay grapes are both
plentiful and popular. Italian prunes

delicious pear, the Bartlett, is still
plentiful and inexpensive. though
other varieties are beginning to come
into market. The only peaches now
available are the big CALIFORNIA;
which are beautiful to look at but not
distinctively Favored.
The cabbage and its higher caste
relatives are beginnlsg to dominate
the vegetable market. Cauliflower is
Of high quality and very reasonable.
Broccoli and Brussels Sprouts are
available but will be more plentiful

Tells Committee Il May Be
Proposition to Have Bank
Finance Expansion

There's . red.headed niger in the
woodpile." John +. Sullivan, Mandan
attorney, told the house appropria-
tons committee Monday as he argued
against the $335y 900 proposed approp-
Ration to build . power plant at the
state penitentiary.
In the face Of losses In the opera
ton expenses Of the prison tvine
plant, Sullivan asked the committee
how the prison twine plant could be
depended on to furnish 337SyO00 to
apply toward the expense OF installing
such power plant.
THE red-headed Niger In the
woodpile." he added. '.must b that
the prison plant can borrow from the
Bank Of North Dakota and possibly
that Is what the state has In mind to
do II the plant d authorized"
Sullivan said he was appearing In
behalf Of the taxpayers Of Morton
county. Action on the bill was de-
terred temporarily.
G. H. Opdahl. La Moure county.
representative and member Of the
committee, asked Sullivan II he knew
the senate had placed an amendment
to the bill which provided the plant
would not be built II the Bismarck
power company could furnish power
at two cents q kilowatt hour.
Sullivan said he knew 1t but had
heard the house committee planned to
remove that amendment and he
wanted to object to it. He said he
had no interest In the power company
but he did object to the state propos-
ing to spend close to 100000 for Z
plant which could not be expected to
furnish power 1T . rate q low as two
cents . kilowatt.
Sullivan said he thought Governor
william LANCER must have been III
advised" to recommend such an ex.
penditure.
Some one has sold him on this
plant and I don't believe he realisea
II Is not logical" Sullivan said. He
added that although he had known
and differed with LANCER for the last
20 years. he gave the governor ''cred-
It" for having better judgment than
making such Z recommendation.
M. G. Blackstun, representative OF
the Montana-Dakota company at Bis
marclr, said his company was willing
to sign . contract with the state at
any time" to furnish electricity for
state buildings for two cents Z kilo-
watt hour. He added the contract
would allow the state any reductions
In rates that might take place during
that period.
