STATE LAND Chief
TO TAKE SPENCER'S
PLACE IN INDUSTRY
Appointment Announced Sun
day At Grand Forks by Gov
ernor William LANCER
SATIRE SUPPORTS MOVE
Employees At Institution Say
They Expect Numerous
Other Changes Soon

Grand Forks. N. D., Oct. 30.-(P--
Ludwig Peterson, state land commits
sioner, will become manager of the
state mill and elevator here about No.
vember !, Governor William LANCER
announced Sunday prior to leaving
here for DeS Moines to attend a con-
ference Of governors.
The governor also announced the
appointment Of w. r. Schell of Beach
to fill the vacancy on the district
bench caused by the death of Judge
T. H. Pugh OF Dickinson.
The appointment of Peterson fol-
lowed numerous conferences OF the
governor with mill officials and p. o.
Satire, who will become attorney gen.
eral November through appoint
ment of the governor. Satire shared
in the announcement.
O. L. Spencer, who has been con-
nected with the mill for II years and
manager of it for the last nine, when
advised OF the governor decision, said
he had no plans for the future, but
LANCER said he would be retained at
the mill until the new manager was
familiar with the operations.
Weathered Many Storms
Coming here in 1922, before the
state mill was completed. Spencer was
superintendent Of milling for two
years and was then named manager
by Governor r. A. Nestos. Despite the
political storms that beat about his
head. Spencer retained the position
under Governors Sorlie. Maddox,
Shafer and LANCER.
The governor refused comment on
whether or not other changes at the
mill are contemplated, but employees
at the mill believe several other shifts
will be made as soon as the new man
agement is familiar with the setup.
It has been common knowledge
here that Spencer's tenure at the mill
for the last several months was due
to strife among the members Of the
state industrial commission which
manages the mill. The fact that At
torney General Gronna and John
HUSKY. commissioner Of agriculture
and labor, were not in agreement with
LANCER on the question of Spencer
successor made it impossible for the
governor to select the manager until
the resignation Of Gronna and the
appointment Of Satire gave him
control of the commission. He had
held Spencer in power through his
veto power Of the commissions acts.
Peterson formerly was in the rea
estate and farming business at Lang.
don. He was named land commissions
err Immediately after LANCER was in
augurated governor being one Of tn
first appointments Of the new admin
istration.

Paris, Oct. 3O-(P)-France pre-

one of its illustrious statesmen, Paul
Painleve. who died Sunday of the
same nalady that forced him out Of
public affairs-heart disease. He was
70 years old.
He died within "a hours after Pres
ident Albert Lebrun had dedicated
Saturday the new "Painleve Amphi-

trades.
Monday plans were made for the
body to lay in state there until a
national funeral, set for November 4,
is rendered. Burial probably will be
in the Pantheon.
Scholar. diplomat and statesman,
Pa.nleve also found time to ride hard
a hobby which interested him early
aviation. In 1908, he was Wilbur
Wrights first passenger in France.
Afterward, he was a champion of
aircraft appropriations and was min
lister of air in the last Herriot cab
met.
He was premier Of France i'll 1917
and in 1925 and served for time as
war minister during the world con-
flict.

ton Of q dam at Garrison. N. D., to
store Missouri flood waters and divert
them into the James and Sheyenne

Dakotas, Minnesota. Nebraska, Iowa
and Wyoming. THE dam can be
built. It is feasible and practical.

upon it"
Unless lakes and streams in that
area are again filled with water. Muir
ply said, the desert will claim that
great farming area" He said the
proposed dam would prevent floods on
the Missouri and make possible
navigation from Sioux City up to and
beyond Garrison.

made Of the fact there had been a
final roundup Of data for the con-
versations.
Both President Roosevelt and Sec
Rotary Hull remained silent upon Lit

was concerned the matter could be
settled in half an hour. It was
known, however, the president plan
ned to take considerably longer fol
what he termed the move to lex
plore', In across-the-table fashion

tails to assistants.

the volume of trade to be exchanged
in cotton, foodstuffs. certain metal
and machinery on the one hand, ant
furs, manufactured goods and pos
