President Chooses Fried.
(New York Wor-1-Telegram)

President Roosevelt shot straight at the mark when he drafted Captain George Fried, sea, hero for the post of Supervising Inspector of the Bureau of Navigation and Steamboat Inspection Service, with headquarters in New York.
 With the eagle eye and conscientious mind of this great sea officer on the passenger vessels leaving New York there should be no more slpshod inspections of safety equipment, more ships sailing with insufficient, overworked, untrained crews incompetent officers.
 Here is a who in great crises has put human life above dollars who is known and revered because he has saved lives where others have lost lives. With Captain Fried on the job here pas sengers walk up the gangplanks of outgoing vessels with new confidence that they will not burn to death or land in the water at the bottom of the sea.
 The second heartening item is the announcement that Captain Fried will submit recommendations for law revision designed to buttress effective in- spection in preventing another Vestris Moro Castle tragedy.
 The final significant aspect of the appointment is that it to show clearly that the President of the nation is moving to achieve what only he could achieve-an overhaung not only of the ancient sea laws but of the Federal agencies charg- ed with enforcing them.

(NeW { ork TimeS.)

The Reconstruction Finance Corporation con- stiutes bright spot in the national budget. Since the beginning of the current fiscal year July l it has shown a net income on its transactions amounting to about $80O00O0 This compares with net outlay of than 00,000,000 during the same period last year and of nearly $40O0O00O in the corresponding period of 1882. The much more favor- able showing made this year is due to large re- payments advances previously made, to the sale of some of the collateral obtained against such advances and to the marked decline in the de- mand for new loans, in consequence of the general improvment in the credit situation.
 From the date of it's establishment under the Hoover Administration in February 1892, to the end of October of this year, the corporation has advanced total of about s2600 100000 to five chief groups of private borrowers, of which banks and trust companies have been the most important. The following table shows the amount loaned to each group, in millions of dollars, together with the per centage which has thus far been repaid:

 Enthu si a s m was undeminish sd over the approaching "Sourdough Fiesta" to be held on December 5, and three colorful and attrac- tive fortune telling booths were to add to the interest, with three mys- terious mystics in charge.
 Already the fund for the Bel gian Relief had reached nearly S1,- 900 in cash donations, according to Treasurer E. L. Thane. Tn ad- dition, many of the merchants mad donated lovely bath robes, dress patterns and other valuable arti- cles to be given away as prizes at the festival.

AS the table shows, at least two-fifths of the amount loaned has been repaid by each group of borrowers with the exception of the railways whose position has not warranted a rapid amortization of their debt. Elsewhere notable change has occurred in the conditions which originally caused the borrower to apply to the Government for aid The showing made on the REC ledger is all the more impressive in view of the fact that pres sure has been brought to bear in order to obtain repayment; an extension of the loans is permissible under the law for as long period as five years Funds are flowing back into the Governments hands simply because most of the credit agencies to which they were loaned longer have need of them

At the beginning of the season
prospects were none too bright. Coach
Esser was faced with the task of re-
placing seven veterans who had COM

team was built around three return

the first string lineup to form the
combination which carried on

In eleven games played in the West
River Hickory Stick conference the

LOCAL BOY STAR
ON VIKING TEAM

Valley City, N. D., March with
their North Dakota College Confer
ence championship safely in their
possession and an impressive season
record behind them, the Valley State
Tacher's College Vikings prepare to
meet the University Of North Dakota
Nodaks here, Friday night. Although
the University defeated the Vikings
at Grand Forks January Is, the VAL
ley has high hopes for Viking VIC
tory as the squad is III much better
condition than they were at that time.
A grueling schedule of four games in
Montana the week before and two
conference games at Dickinson the
same week as this first game may
have been big factor in the Viking
defeat.
Eddie Sprisgs. formerly star ath-
lete at the Bismarck high school and
guard on the championship team, is
one member OF the Viking team ex-
pected to be great annoyance to the
Nodak threats, Mullen, Witasek, and
Meinhover. Since he came into the
lineup in January, Eddie has been
playing bang-up game at guard and
proved himself to be regular ball
hwak. His floorwork, GOODNESS in
the pinches, and ball handling, have
stamped Eddie as an outstanding
guard in the state college circle this
year.
Spriggs comes TO Valley City
Teachers with a good basketball rec
ord behind him After finishing Bis
marck high school where he starred
in both football and basketball for
three years, Eddie played three sea-
sons with the Bismarck Phantoms, a
strong independent team. He en-
rolled at Valley City the fall quarter
last year and proved to be the out
standing football player on the Viking
squad, being named all conference
halfback. A late season leg injury in
football kept Eddie off the basketball
squad until January.
The Vikings have seasons record
lot which they can be justly proud
They have been defeated but once In
their own conference and twice out
side it. Jamestown College was the
conference which set back the vi.
kings in January by a two point mar
gin, but the Vikings avenged this de.
feat with a 1925 victory over thu
Jimmies In return game. The Butte
Montana School of Mines and tllt
University Of North Dakota are thu
other two teams which accomplished
the feat.
The Viking squad includes the tow.
ering Humbracht, and the forwards
Hill and Casey.
