rising waters. Automobiles were
smashed at Wassaic. N. r, rs an ice
jam in Turkey Hollow Brook broke
and smashed down on the village.
Chenango Bridge, q little town near
Binghamton. N. Y, was cut off by
flood waters and plunged into dark
ness Sunday night by falling electric
light poles. Delaney, N. Y, and other
villages also were isolated and Balm
bridge was without power.
The Monongahela, which Joins with
the Allegheny at Pittsburgh to form
the Ohio river. was a rushing yellow
sea. Water crept toward the flood
stage. Thirty barges broke away from
q dock near Uniontown. Pa, and one
smashed over dam. Floods also
threatened Wheeling. w. Va.
In the South the Cumberland river
at Nashville, Tenn, was above flood

1884 TO Be BANNER
YEAR FOR BUSINESS
Dun r Bradstreet Review Pre-
diets Best Year Since 1890;
Employment Increasing

Indications that 1884 will prove to
be banner year for business general
~ are made by the weekly review Of
business by Dun and Bradstreet for
March 2. Some sweeping changes
being made in the MIRA structure which
will remove the few remaining OBJ

Despite billiards Of the preceding
two weeks which impeded highway
and railroad traffic, and the ice pave
ments which made 1t difficult for
pedestrians to get about in eastern
cities, retail trade held up remarkable
well.
With only month until Easter.
many wholesalers are being pressed
on all sides for deliveries. definite
dates for which cannot be set, the re-
view reported. An unusually active
spring and summer business is pre-
dicted.
Employment is on the increase In
automobile, steel, electrical supplies,
textile, shoe and fertilizer industries.
In the automobile industry employ

wrote to Secretary Of the Interior
Ickes that knowing the character Of

arrest not only Of myself but Of
many Of my Subordinates."
The governor referred to the Nom
partisan League state convention at
Valley City Tuesday when an over
whelming number of delegates
pledged to support him will convene.
The governor said he welcomed
grand jury investigation, recommend
ed by Ickes.
I'VE want it submitted and we are
entirely satisfied that when 1t IS sub
mitted, the testimony will show that
out of the millions spent in North
Dakota that less than 5000 in over a
year has been taken In subscriptions
by the relief workers and the admin
istration office.
IF there has been embezzlement or
graft in the administration OF relief
funds" LANCER said, I'VE want It
brought before q grand jury"

lief workers at his direction.
"You have my personal assurance"
he wrote, that at no time while I
have been governor has there been q

worker, either directly or indirectly.
or in my behalf, either directly or In

He detailed the fight alleged to

claring that "theIe Is no charge that

He called for greater projection Of
small business, terming the code au-
thority "the keeper Of your small in

He said the antitrust laws must
continue in their major purpose Of
retaining competition and preventing
monopoly"
He demanded that every corpora

workers free choice to organize them
selves and emphasized that those
two words free choice mean Just

Saying he knew industry with few
exceptions would give whole hearted
compliance, the president warned

vent failure"
Must Keep Prices Down
He contended that industry must
keep to "the lowest schedule Of prices
on which higher wages and increasing
employment can be maintained"
For the future, he said, "the meth
DDS and details Of reorganization
may and will change from year to
year but j. the reorganization must
be permanent for all the rest Of our
