Lisbon Gazette: On Monday of this
week j. W. Summerfield of this city re-
Eceived the startling news of the death of
his son: Frank W. Summerield, who was
killed in action near Lipa in the Philip
pines, January 20, 1900, aged % years.
The deceased at the time of his death
was a member of Co. f, Both regiment
U. S. v, but served through the earlier
portion of the war in the Philippines as
a member of Co. K, North Dakota volun-
teers. in which service he won an envi-
able record as a daring and brave soldier
and scout, receiving several honorable
mentions and a congressional medal. He
also served as gunneri in our navy during
the war with Spain.
The deceased left Lisbon six years ago
since which time he had had a very adj
venturous experience-having served for
a time in the English navy, having visit
ed Africa and other foreign countries,
returning to America at the outbreak of
the war with Spain. Mr.. Summertield
had received a letter from his son, writ
ten from the Philippines in the latter
part of December, in which he had stat
ed that the fighting there was nearly
over.

The BUSINESS men.
Steps Toward Organization Of a BUSH
ness Mems Union Taken Last
Night.
Of $1,000 Of Stock To-
ward Establishment Of Wooden
Mill.
COMMITTEES Appointed to Look Into
Matter of the Preliminary Or
ganization.

There was a meeting of business men
at the office of A. Z. Patterson last night
for the purpose Of organizing a business
mems union, for the furthering of interests
Of the city, and the taking in charge of
several matters Of interest to the city
which need united action.
C.B. Little was chosen chairman of
the meeting and A. T. Patterson as sec
Rotary. About twenty-five of the leading
business men Of the city had responded
to the call aud there was general discus
sion of matters Of interest and the con
sideration of propositions made to the
city informally for the establishment of
some. desired institutions.
A committee was appointed to draft a
constitution and bylaws for the proposed
organization, the chair naming R. L. Best
Joseph Hare, M. H.. Jewell and JIG.
SWEET. A general discussion was had
with reference to the matter of offering
inducements to the parties who propose
to establish a woollen mill in the western
part Of the state. A. G. McGillivray has
been in communication with these parties
and a proposition has been made to .es-
tablish a woollen mill, if the residents Of
the city will take $4,000 in stock, the
parties establishing the mill to put in
$4,000 for the establishment and oper-
alton of the plant. The mill would be a
desirable addition to the industries of the
city and at the meeting last night $1,000
or n third of the amount required was
subscribed. A. T. Patterson P. G. Rem
ington and r. D.. Hoskins were appointed
a committee to solicit subscriptions of
stock, and there is no doubt the amount
required can be raised.
Another matter that will come before
organization is the enlisting of outside
capital for the erection of a first class
hotel in the city. Upon the demolition
of the Sheridan House there will be ar
excellent opening in the city for a hotel
and there is no doubt that outside per.
sons will become interested financially in
the matter.
The meeting was adjourned to Thurs.
day night when reports will be received
from the committees that were appoint.

The past year has seen farm and stock
lands in the state of North Dakota rap
idly increase in value. There have never
been as many transfers, and the eager
ness with which the large tracts avail
able have been gobbled up by expert
enced men shows that they know a good
thing when they see it, and the tendency
of prices is decidedly higher. There is
no doubt today, but one of the best in
yestments, one of the suresr investments,
and that will make the largest returns to
the owners, is the purchase of unim-
proved lands in this state, both for farm
and stock purposes.

TAXES.
Settlement Of the Delinquent Taxes
Due from the Northern
Pacific.

States Attorney Stanley has returned
to Steele with the check for the North
ern Pacific taxes due Kidder county.
The tax litigation was settled Saturday
in Milwaukee, by stipulation between
the attorneys for the county-with the
consent of the commissioners and the
attorneys for the company. The settle
ment was based on prior decisions Of the
state supreme court in the Wells county
case, and on the Amidon decision in the
Stutsman county case. The total
amount paid was s45, 956.43 and s952.9O
fees of clerk of court. The company had
100000 acres of land involved. No PEN
atty or interest was allowed and the set
Element cuts the amount down to little
over half of the original claim for all
years, which was in the n~eighborhood
of $4,000.
1t is understood that Attorney Baker
of Detroit, Mich, gets a reasonable fee al,
lowed by Judge Jenkins, how much is
not stated. The railroad company in
the stipulations agreed not to further OBJ
ject to the attorneys claims, both parties
leaving it to the court. The original
agreement with the Kidder county board
was to allow the attorney IS per cent Of
the amount Of the Judgment. The
county will have to pay this from the
proceeds of the settlement. About a
yearago the company offered to settle for
practically the sum received. 4

will not care to have repeated. Fortu-
