ASSESSORS MUST
OWN REAL ESTATE
PHASE OF LAW HERETOFORE UNRECOC.
NIZED BROUGHT INTO PLAY
Which DlSQUAlIFY MANY.

Grand Forks, Apr. 10-William
Taft could be president of the
United States at a salary of $75,-
600 a year without owning a par
ticle of property, still Elmer
Swenson cannot be assessor of
Finn Grove township in Grand
Forks county at a salary of $40 a
year because he does not own any
real estate.
This remarkable fact was
brought to light today when John
S. Kyllo, clerk of the township
board, called on County Auditor
Anderson and stated that he had
read in circular that an assessor
not only had to be a voter but q
real estate holder. He said that
he had interviewed certain officials
and they had told him that an as
SCISSOR need only be a voter.
County Auditor Anderson was
about to tell Mr.. Kyllo the same
thing in answer to what he sup
posed was a ridiculous question,
but decided to look up the law
first and in article 1915 of the
codes he read mo assessor is eli
gible to Office unless he is a voter
and the owner of real estate" e.
The bonds of Mr.. Swenson, who
was elected assessor at the recent
election, had been approved and
he had qualified for Office. He
has been notified by County Au-
ditor Anderson to. come and re-
ceive his assessment books at the
meeting to be held Saturday
morning, but when he arrives the
books will be refused him and
John Doyle, chairman of the
board of Elm Grove township,
will be called upon to appoint an
assessor to fill the vacancy until
such time as the law is tested.
While there are no other as
SCISSORS in Grand Forks county
who are not owners, of real estate,
still it is known that there are
many over the state who do not
own property and they have been
allowed to be assessors simply be-
cause no one has ever considered
the question to look up this partic-
ular phase of the law, in fact,
authority would consider the
question ridiculous.
The only way for Mr.. Swenson
to become assessor is for him to
purchase small piece of proper
ty at McCann, where he lives, be-
fore coming to Grand Forks Sat
urday, have the deed recorded
and then. demand his assessment
books. ID D.. - "@

my part, Pm never going back to Eng land.'
 'Nor I. It would be just like me, Jackie, to lave a relapse and never get out again.
 The old friends took an inventory. Jack Wyckholme, gentleman's son and ne'er-do-well, possessed f9 and frac- ton, an appetite and excellent spirits, while Taswell Skaggs exhibited a bal ance of f1,OOO in a Shanghai bank, a fairly successful trade in Celestial ne cessities and an unbounded eagerness to change his luck.
 "I have a proposition to make to you, Tazzy," said MT. Wyckholme late in the night.
 'T think I'll listen to it, Jackie," re- piled MT. Skaggs, quite soberly.
 As the outcome of this midnight proposition Taswell Skaggs and John Wyckholme arrived two months later at the tiny island of Japat, somewhere south of the Arabian sea, there to re- main until their dying days and there to accumulate the wealth which gave the first named chance to make an extraordinary will. For thirty years they. lived on the island of Japat. Wyckholme preceded Skaggs to the grave by two winters, and he willed his share of everything to his partner of thirty years standing. But there was a proviso in Wyckholme's be- quest, just as there was in that of Skaggs. Each had made his will some fifteen years or moresbefore death, and each had bequeathed his fortune to the survivor. At the death of the sur vivor the entire property was to go to the grandchild of each testator, with certain reservations to be mentioned later on, each having by investigation discovered that he possessed single grandchild.
 The island of Japat had been the home of a Mohammedan race, the out growth of Arabian adventurers who had fared far from home many years before Wyckholme happened upon the island by accident. It was a British possession, and there were two or three thousand inhabitants, all MShammed- ans. Skaggs and Wyckholme pur

 chased the land from the natives, pro- tected and eased their rights with the government and proceeded to realize on what the natives had unwittingly prepared for them. In course of time the natives repented of the deal which gave the Englishmen the right to pick and sell the rubies and other precious stones that they had been trading away for such trifles as silks, ,.gewgawS and women. A revolution was immi- nent, whereupon the owners organ ized the entire population into a great stock company, retaining four-fifths of the property themselves. This seemed to be a satisfactory arrangement. de spite the fact that some of the more warlike leaders were difficult to ap- pease. It is only necessary to add that the beautiful island of Japat, standing like an emerald in the sapphire waters of the orient, brought millions in mon ey to the two men who had been un- lucky in love.
 And now, after more than thirty years of voluntary exile, both of them were dead, and both of them were buried in the heart of an island of ru- bies, their deed and their deeds re- mafning to posterity-with reserva- tions.
