- .. ^ Ji>ents on. the executive mansion and;»dditions at the penitentiary,. and $15Mflp to be Invested in new busi-oe^Klructures and homes. , ' Tip?" memorial history building,
ujjqrowhich work Vill begin /In the neaFi&uture, will cost $200,000, to be Ptqpded by a direct state appropria-tiomf'. The last assembly appropriated $2jfio0 for improvements on - the executive mansion, and a considerable sunE/for extensions and repairs at tfafePltate penitentiary.
3$je United States government will iriVNt approximately $50,000 in new buildings at the Indian school, which Increased attendance has made an ab-Bptwte necessity. There is a prospect of,the expenditure of $25,000 or more in ^improvements and alterations at Foft Lincoln, which may be trans formed into an aviation station in a transcontinental route. extending froth Boston to Seattle and generally following the line of the Red Trail.
Private construction will include thq erection of the new Eltinge theater, to cost. $40,000; $50,000 in the Logan-Hughes building, at Broadway and Third; $25,000 in the new Capital City Bottling Works; $15,000 in a new storage warehouse for the Lahr. Motor Sales company; $10,000 in the new Elks' building, and at least $75,000 in new homes, including a five-flat apartment house to be erected by L. K. Thompson.
There is not included in this aggregate the Bismarck Athletic club, upon which work is to begin in early fall, and which will cost $150,000; nor approximately $50,000 which may be invested In a new bank building, upon which it is probable work will be commenced this fall. Account is taken of improvements to cost $10,000 or more which will be made in the Bismarck bank building, which is to' construct an entirely new front, both on Main and Third streets.
Several big projects are dependent on this year's crop. Should the Bismarck territory enjoy a good, rain within the next day or two, which will insure a bumper yield, it will be entirely safe to increase this year's construction estimate for the capital city to a million dollars.

Libel Suit Recalls Old Times To Early
Settler At Capital
BERLIN STRIKE !' MOVEMENT IS
MOREJERIOUS Fear Expressed That it May
Develop Into Political : Insurrection.
Berlin, Tuesday, July 1.—(By the Associated Press)—The communistic leaven has again Arrived to the fermenting stage in Greater Berlin and there are indications that the strike movement may develop into a political insurrection.
The candor and boldness with which the Independent Socialists and their communist followers are playing their cards shows they feel surer of their footing than during the March revolt. . The street car strike threatens to involve the suburban and belt line railroad workers, if not the big industrial plants. The frankness with which Hugo Haase. Herr Hoffman and other radicals are now demanding a dictatorship by the proletariat is looked upon as significant.
In the meantime. Gustav Noske, minister of defense, is Increasing his troop patrols in the inner city, planting reels of barbed wire at strategic points and. generally tightening martial law regulations.
The government, while apparently satisfied, the present strike movement is purely political and is determined to treat it as such, nevertheless it is not under-estimating its grave influence upon, economic conditions.
The cessation of the city rail traffic has had its influence on the workers of the suburban roads and belt lines which stopped operating on the ground that the overcrowding of the cars is contrary to public safety.
Berlin's downtown streets today again were jammed with long lines of two, three and four-wheeled ve hides, many of early types which readily brought high fares. The few 'available automobiles and motor busses were quickly filled. Many persons are using bicycles or roller skates.
The most serious phase of the situation is the attempt of the striking rail workers to halt the movement of freight cars, especially those carrying food and coal supplies.

Bismarck, N. D.. July 2.—Townley's "million-dollar" libel suit against The Bismarck Tribune and other North Dakota newspapers which car ried details of what Attorney General Langer has styled the "daylight bank robbery" at Valley City, has' elicited from R. M. Douglass of Covina, Cal the following interesting letter to The Tribune:
"Recently I noticed in our Los Angeles Times that The Tribune and other North Dakota papers had been sued. This turned my mind into old time thoughts. I was a civil engineer on the Northern Pacific railroad when the end of the track was at Bismarck. I was in the first Yellowstone expedi tion under General Rosser. I taught the first school in Bismarck five months one winter. Col. Henry Brownson, depot agent,, was county superintendent of schools. My school was the only one in that country, was there when Col. Lounsberry started your paper. The Tribune. . "J, as there when Fort. .Lincoln was • bujldingr, *nd when the ^Indians dashed up ana. came near burning the buildings under construction. I was one of the party under Engineer Eckelson which was rushed across Dakota in mid-winter to locate and hold claims for the townsite of Bismarck. J. J. Jackman had got pointers regarding the location -and had gene on.. We, after him on the run, took and held the site.
"The old steamboat, "Aunt Betsy,' came up the river goaded with supplies, and 1 had a cottonwood warehouse built to hold the cargo of the boat and had charge of it for a, year, I was In Minneapolis at the time of the Custer massacre in '76. Do I hit old times?"

G- Patterson, county treasurer; Robert D. Berry, county auditor; Grant County; a municipal corporation, and J. Henry Bellman, defendants and respondents.
Syllabus: In an action to enjoin the construction of, and payment for, a court house, where no temporary injunction forbidding the construction was issued arid where, at the time of the trial on the merits, the court house was practically completed, it is held:
(1) Where .a new county is organized and, in 'the settlement with the county from which the territory com-
i prising the new county was severed, the taxes previously levied by the original county are assigned to and collected by the new county, such taxes being in excess of the expenditures for the various purposes for which the same were levied during the current fiscal year, the balances so existing at the end of the fiscal year are subject to transfer to the building fund, under sections 3287 and 3288, Compiled Laws of 1913.
(2) Where, prior to the close of the first fractional fiscal year, toward the construction of bridges during the succeeding fiscal year, and a written contract is executed with a successful bidder in the succeeding fiscal year, such contract does not create a special charge upon the balance in the bridge fund as it existed at the close of the fractional fiscal year, but is a proper item entering into the county budget of the current fiscal year.
(3) An emergency fund created by tax levy is subject to the control of the board of county commissioners upon whom is imposed the duty of directing the fiscal affairs of the county; and in the absence of a statute so requiring, such fund is not automatically subject to the payment of warrants drawn upon, other funds of the county which may be overdrawn at the time the warrants are issued.
. (4) Section 3280'of the Compiled Laws of 1913 does not require a vote upon the question of the construction of a court house in a new county, where the same is constructed from a building fund comprised of unexpended balances in funds assigned to the new county by the county' from which the territory is segregated.
(5) Where, during the pendency of litigation started for the purpose of enjoining Uie construction of a court house, the building is practically completed and the place at which it is located is fixed by popular election as the county *eat, there being no fraud shown and no contention that the building is.; not well worth the contract price.. and It appearing that the county had sufficient funds legally applicable to .the discharge of the contract and that the commissioners had ample authority to proceed with the work, there u no equity in favor of the plaintiijjt to support his prayer for injunction Against payment on the ground that .the contract was not legally lpt»v \ ,
