AMERICA AND TIE NAVAL CODE.

Tho gratifying announcement is made that
unanimous agreement has at last been pfac-
ticaIIv secured at the lnterna tonal Naval Con
ference in London. This is all the more gTatl1y-
ing nasmuch until day or two ago II was
feared that such agreement would De I'M
possible because of the disinclination OF the
American representatives 10 accept the pro-
posais of their European colleagues 1t was
suggested that rather than have the conrer-
ence entirely fruitless the European powers
should unite upon a code, leaving the Lnlteo
States out Of II, in which case, IT was added
Janan would probably align herself with Amer

those prognosucat tions have proved incorrect
and that unanimity Of a profitable and com
prehensive character will be secured in the con-
clusions of this highly important gathering
II will be recalled that there was lack
Of unanimity in making the Declaration OF
Paris. in 1856 The powers then held an inter
national naval conference for the adoption OF
code of naval warfare and while they agreed
on three points and all the European powers
agreed on four the United States refused 70
ACCEPT the fourth-Or rather the nrsl. 1ne
rule which the United States then very properly
refused to accept was that for the aoolltloh VI

case was perfectly plain. America had tDen an
enormous mercantile marine and ocean borne
commerce but comparatively small navy. 50
that in case Of war with power with supe-

vantage unless either its commerce was free
from capture or it was permitted to- transform
its swift clipper ships into privateers. In re-

ROAD Wins
VALUABLE Land
LONG FOUGHT CASE VESTS TITLE
TO LANDS IN THE NORTHERN
PACIFIC ROAD.

The Northern Pacific has recently
had the great good fortune to secure
tract of land said to be worth ten
million dollars. The land includes
46O, 1000 acres of timber and agricul-
tural land in Northern Idaho, and it
has reverted to the company from a
decision of the general land office.
This land has been in controversy
eight years. It is classed as mineral
land by the commission in 1901, when
the railroad company filed a protest
with the department against this
classification. The first hearing was
given in 1902, when the Northern Pa
cific gained victory, but this was
afterwards set aside and a new hear
ing granted after much delay in 1905,
since which som of the oldest land
lawyers have battled in the courts
The company gained a decision fol-
lowing a motion to review the case.
The tract is south and east of the
city of Wallace, and covers 20 town.
ships. A cursory reading of the de-
cision shows the company proved
that the land is adapted to forestry
and agriculture and was wrongly
classified as mineral land.

PROSPEROUS FARMERS.

Dickinson Press: Frank Zdrahal
and son, L. F., expect to commence
blowing next week. Their farms COM
prise 800 acres on Green river about
three miles below the Fisher place.
They raise oats mostly the average
yield per acre last year being 60
bushels 1t is only last week that
Mr.. Zdrahal and his son shipped a
car Of oats, about 1000 bushels, to
market, the quotations being 81 cents.
These thrifty. farmers also find pota'
toes a profitable crop. Six hupdred
bushels were marketed last year and
the surplus crop was marketed from
the field at so cents. Barley is an
other good crop. Last year the I'd
rahals purchased some pure bred Jer-
sey cows and they are breeding for
the dairy, milking ten cows this win
ter and will milk several more in a
short time. The milk is sold to the
Dickinson Creamery Co. Mr.. Zdrah-
al and son think that spring blowing
is the best for this country. They
do their own work and have nothing
to pay out for wages. Stark county
needs more farmers of this class.

The occasion was also made a

church, served faithfully. During all
this time Mr.. Winslow has been sup
erintendent Of the Sunday school and
under his management the school has

city and comedy singing act, intro
duce some of the latest songs and are
two very clever people. 1t is an act
that will be pleasing to all.
The animated picture program is
great part of today's performance,
showing as a feature picture, ''In the
Shenandoah Valley" great war
drama, featuring Sheridan's great
ride. This is one of the most thrill.
ing reproductions of grim visaged
war ever produced in motion pictures.
In this picture you are privileged to
witness a scene which in 1866 was
being enacted in almost every city
in this country-bringing together of
the living members of the disrupted
families.
"The Laplanders," the scenic pic
ture, is another of Pathe Frere's ed
ucational and interesting pictures,
showing how the inhabitants of the
far north live. 1t also gives you a
vivid idea of the customs and the
rather gloomy existance of such a
bleak country.
''Bess and her Goose" is another
high class comedy picture which is a
laugh every minute.
At Monday evenings performance
all members of the G. A. R. and wives
are cordially invited to attend this
performance as guests of the man
agement of the Gem theatre.

r. W. GRIFFIN VS.. DENNISOk

The clerk of court is entering on
the county records the final judgment
of the supreme court in the case of
T. w. Griffin VS.. the DennisOn Land
company of Dennison la. This COM
pany had secured tax deed to three
quarter sections of land on which
Griffin had failed to pay taxes. Crit
fin brought suit to have the tax deeds
set aside. Judge Winchester set the
three deeds aside and the company
appealed to the supreme court which
confirms the title of the company to
one of the quarters which is the south
east quarter of section 2, range 1879,
meridian 81 and reverses the dis
trict court as to this question. It
afflrms the decision of the court in
setting aside the deeds of the other
two quarters. The point on which the
court affirmed was that the descrip-
ton of the land in the advertised tax
sale described the two quarters as
half a section, when in reality they
were not contiguous, but were across
corners. The case hinged on the
meaning of the word Contiguous
The land in dispute is the northeast
and southwest quarter of section %,
range 40, meridian 81. This decis-
ion sets aside the tax deed but the
owner will have to pay the company
all taxes paid. The supreme court
costs to the amount of $135.4O, were
taxed against Griffin. The quarter
section to which he loses title is re-
ported to be worth about $4,000 and
the taxes for which it was sold to
pay amounted to about 500.

The case of o. J. Bostrom vs. Eng
dahl, involving the title of a quarter
section of land in Burleigh county,
