1t now seems probable that the date
for the presentation of the silver ser.
vice to the U. S. S. North Dakota will
be postponed until next spring, for
the reason that the feet Of battleships
will sail for Europe on November l,
and it is not probable that arrange
ments can be made to hold the pre-
sentation ceremonies before that date.
1t was first planned to present tho
service this autumn, but inasmuch as
the ship sails from New York on No.
vember /, the time just prior to that
date would be most opportune for the
people interested in the ceremonies,
as it is close to election time and
the people would not want to leave
the state.
The situation is fully explained in
a letter received by Governor John
Burke from Beekman Winthrop. act
ing secretary of the navy, and the
governors reply. They follow:
His Excellency. the Governor of the
State of North Dakota, Bismarck,
N. D.
Sir: have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt of your letter of July
8, 1910, in regard to the presentation
of the silver service to the U. S. S.
North Dakota, and in reply will in
form you that the date set for tho
sailing Of the fleet for Europe is No.
vember l, and it will therefore be nec-
essary to have the presentation cere-
monies some time in October, and the
department would suggest that it
should be prior to October Is, as it
would be inadvlsable to put it off un.
til the last moment before sailing
IF perfectly agreeable to you, it
would be more convenient for the de- !
partment to have the presentation !
take place at New York, but the de- !;
partment will try to meet your wishes
in this matter if possible, and requests
to be informed as to whether New |
York would be satisfactory or wheth-
er some other place would be pre-
ferred.
very respectfully,
-"Beekman Winthrop,
Acting Secretary of the Navy"
To the Honorable Secretary of the
Navy, Washington, D. c.

tation of the silver service, duly re-
ceived. In reply will say this is a
very inOpportune time for the peO-
pie of this state. 1t is just near the
close Of campaign and just prior to
election and no one would want to
leave the state at that time. We can
send the silver service, of course,
without any formal presentation, but
we had intended to take a special
train and a lot of North Dakota peo-
pie to see the ship. We will either
have to send it by express or wait
until the ship comes back.
VERY truly yours,
John Burke,
Governor Of the State of North
Dakota"
viii Probably Wait.
Definite arrangements regarding the
matter are now pending but in all
probability the plan to wait until the
ship returns from the trip next year
will be adopted; as the majority Of
those interested in the affair would
prefer to have it done in such a man.

When the contract was let for the
silver service those in charge request

Alcohol Heater.
[From Tuesdays Daily.l


Early this morning A. M. Ward re-
ceived severe burns on his hands
caused by the ignition of bottle Of
alcohol from which he was filling
heater. He was engaged in prepar-
Ing some milk for the baby at his
home on West Third and filled and
lighted the alcohol burner. The
quart bottle Of the fluid which was
held in one hand suddenly ignited and
burned furiously. Mr.. Ward prompt
ly kicked out the window and threw
the bottle from the room but not
before his hand and forehead were
severely burned. The lace curtain
at the window was also consumed. \
But for his prompt action the house
would undoubtedly have been de-
stroyed.

% Families Left Chapman.

Chapman, March 7.-During the
early spring and winter seventeen
different householders have gone into
eastern Colorado and taken land
either as homesteads or by purchase.
Many Of these have already gone
onto their lands and others are going
this week. At least three families
have removed from this neighbor-
hood into Oklahoma because Of the
cheaper lands. Two have gone into
Missouri for the same reason and a
few have gone to western Kansas. In
spite Of this exodus of farmers we
have no vacant farms for others from
less favored localities are moving in
and occupying these farms left vacant
by their former owners or tenants.

what University Paper Says Of 9. A.
Cases Speech.

The Kansan, the official paper Of
1.-THE University of Kansas, says: Hon.
G. A. Case Of Abilene, member Of
the state legislature and graduate
OF Princeton spoke in chapel Friday
morning in regard to college men as
business employees, influenced by his
experience with them In the last ten
years. He confessed to prejudice
in favor of employing college men
because of the greater opportunities
and training received by them. In
contrast with the college men who are
not willing to begin at the bottom,
be cited several who had thus laid
good foundation and eventually had
attained distinct success In business
career. Mr.. Case outlined the FREE
Quency Of changes in some vocatlons
thus making the success of the col
lege man depend only on his fitness
and preparation. A chance would
come to every individual and upon
his fitness, energy and honesty, de-
pended his advancement. A large
audience heard the address and great
ly enjoyed It,"
The Lawrence Journal says: "Hon.
c. A. Case, representative from Dick
inscn county, spoke in chapel at the
University this morning on the sub
ject Of The Chances Of the College
Bred Man In Business The talk
was one of the most practical made
