MANDAN, N. D., June 9.-The avia-
ton committee of the Missouri Slope
Agricultural and Fair Association are
completing their arrangements for
the big aviation meeting which will be
held at Mandan on Saturday and Sun
day, June II and 10. This meet is
not. as some people supos e, part of
the big fair. 1t is a separate and dis
tinct attraction and the association is
holding it in order to afford the resi-
dents of the slope country their first
opportunity to witness a successful
airship flight.
The aviator who will appear at
Mandan on these dates is none other
than Lucky Bob" St. Henry, who gave
exhibition fights at Fargo during the
U. C. T. grand lodge convention. He
guarantees to give two successful
flights at Mandan in case the weather
conditions permit.
There are a large number of things

amounting to nearly 100 per cent. The
local lodge also received as a prize
for the increase in membership two
handsome silk flags, one of the ma
tional colors and the other the flag
of the lodge.
The local hive is in prosperous con.
dition. Since the first Of January
there has been $33 500 worth of insur.
ance written here and there are still
many applications in the hands OF
the record keeper. The order ranks
very high among the beneficial so
cities for women and the Maccabees
are deeply interested in anything that
pertains to public welfare. At Port
Huron. Mich, is located a home for
disabled members of the order, where
they can go and be provided with all
the comforts of home and not be OBJ
jects of charity.
The rally of the state organization
for next wear will probably be held
at Bismarck, the capital city.

ESPECIAL to the TrIbune)

SAN ANTONIO. Texas, June g.
The health of $4,000 soldiers now
concentrated at Fort Sam Houston
has been remarkable. 1t is said by
old officers that never in their expert
ence have they known so few cases
of illness when an army as large as
the one now here remained continu-
ously for three months on the same
camp ground. This healthful, condi-
ton is due, so sanitary authorities
of the army declare, to two things:
Excellent climatic conditions and a
perfect system of sanitation.
The splendid condition of the men is
emphasized by the fact that long
marches participated in by several
thousand have been conducted, the
sun pouring down with much vigor

LansdoWne's Bill
For Reform of Lords
Bill Favored by the Peers Provides for
Smaller Chamber Divided Into
Three Glasses.

LONDON, May S--Lord Lansdowne,
leader Of the opposition OF the House OF
Lords, today introduced his bill for the
reform Of the upper house
The unionists, he said, proposed a house
TO consist of $50 lords of Parliament
No peer should hold his seat for more
than twelve years, but they would be
eligible for reelection. The peers them
selves would elect 100 members Of the peer
age possessing the statutory qualifications.
A second contingent would consist of Ia
members TO be elected from outside the
House OF Lords.
The third section of the house numbering
100, would be appointed by the crown on
the recommendation of the cabinet. Princes
OF the royal blood would retain their seats,
as also would two archbishops while five
bishops would be elected.
Viscount Morley, who Immediately fol-
lowed Lansdowne, threw cold water on the
plan. He said the government could not
accept the proposals as solution of the
difficulty.

Final Argument
in the Cunningham
Coal Land Claims
Attorneys for Claimants Appear Be-
fore Secretary Fisher and Board
of Land Review.


WASHINGTON. NAY s.-After having
been out Of the public eye for some time
the Cunningham Alaskan coal land claims
which brought about the Ballinger- -Pinchot
congressional investigation because OF
charges by Louis r. CLAWS a former field
agent Of the land office. today approached
their determination. Attorneys for the
Cunningham claimants appeared TO argue
their case before Secretary Of the Interior
Fisher. Land Commissioner bennett and
members Of the board Of law review Of the
general land office. 1t was expected the
hearing would be concluded tomorrow.
z. c. Hughes Of Seattle and John p
Gray Of Wallace, Idaho. are representing
the claimants.
Commissioner bennett is charged with
handing down the decision. Secretary
Fisher determined to sit at the hearing
however. so that in case an appeal is made
20 him time and expense may be saved for
all parties concerned.
The Cunningham coal land claims, thirty
three In number. are so called because It
was Clarence Cunningham of the state of
Washington, who. while in Alaska in 1902
discovered the coal which led to the filing
Of claims by himself and by thirty-two
others.
Opposition to tho final granting of the
claims was due to the charge that there
was a conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment.
CLAWS who wrote to President Taft
charging former Secretary Ballinger with
maladminlstration of the public land laws
started his fight against the Cunningham
claims early in 1908. He asserted that
through an assignment of the Cunningham
claims the Guggenhems" were about to
be given a monopoly Of Alaskan coal.
The Ballinger-Pinchot committee filed
two reports, the majority exoneratingsSec-
retary Ballnger and the minority sustain
ing to a large degree the allegations made
by CLAWS. The majority did not pass on
the merits OF the claims.
The hearing starting today before Com
missioner bennett will probably decide
whether the Cunningham claimants shall
be granted patents to their coal lands or
whether these lands shall revert to the
public domain for future entry.
Mr. Hughes arguing for the claimants,
asserted that as they had paid the pur-
chase price of the land and held receipts
from the government for the money. this
was equivalent to the actual delivery of
patent rights. According to the Alaskan
coal land law of 1904. which he declared
was complete in itself, as soon as a
claimant had staked off his land and had
entered 1t in the registers office he had
right to make contracts to sell such
land, provided the claimant was not legally
disqualified.
Asked by Secretary Fisher whether he
had read the brief presented in behalf of
clifford Plnchot in connection with the
charges In the case, Mr. Hughes declared
that this brief was only partly correct. He
did not believe there had been intentional
deceit. but asserted that the facts had
been shuffled. He did not explain In what
particular the brief was only partly correct.

PROTEST OYER RECIPROCITY
Book Paper Makers and Farmers Are
Before Finance Committee.
BACHELDER TALKS FOR CHANGERS
Ex-Governor of New Hampshire Says
American Farmers Are Taxed
Much Higher Than the
Canadians.

WASHINGTON, May s.-Protests OF
book paper manufacturers against Ca
madam reciprocity were made to the SEN
ate finance committee which resumed
hearings on the agreement today.
George Sullivan, representing a Phila-
delphia company, asserted that because
of the vast wood supply and cheap water
power in Canada, coupled with advan-
tsges In the duty on raw material, Ca
madam book paper manufacturers could
make their product AZ 81 a ton less than
americans. He declared the agreement
would put the American book paper manu-
fGcturers out of business.
Mr. Sullivan said there were forty-six
hook paper mills in the United States with
10000 employees. The only book paper Amer
leans export is Bible paper.
Representatives of the farmers of thir-
teen or fourteen states followed the book
paper manufacturers in protest against
the bill. Ex-Governor N. ]. Bachelor,
of New Hampshire, master of the Ma
tional grange, denounced the bill as
a violation of the pledge of the republican
platform of 1908 to maintain protection
TO the country's industries equal to the
difference in the cost of production al
home and abroad
Ex-Governor Bachelor presented tables
TO show that articles used by the Ameri-
can farmer bore an average tariff tax
of from 20 to 35 per cent more than that
paid by the Canadian farmer He con-
cluded from this that the American
farmer could not compete with the Ca.
madam on an equal basis.

DnhA TaN Ya,a

been willing to sacrifice the farmers in this
matter"

grange, and Prof. T. C. Atkinson, OF
Morsantown. w. Va, also spoke in oppo.
sition to the measure
Now that the United States promises
