BIG INCREASE.

County Assessor Geo. E. Rob-
bins said to a Star reporter on
Thursday that the lists OF names
actually on the books of Custer
county number 5,175 against 3,
800 last year making a gain over
1910 which is most gratifying.
During: the past year, Custer
county has forged ahead like it
has never done before. An es-
innate made Thursday by Mr..
Robbins shows outside of subse-
quent lists an assessment of $13,
582,579 against $11, ,110,288 for
1910. The subsequent lists will
add 400 more names which will
change the figures considerably.
There has been a shortage in
stock easements this year. Mr..
Robbins accounts for this from
the fact of w. E. Harris, j. L.
Wilson and Wilson & Tarbel SELL
ing the bulk of their holdings.
Outside of stock, the assessor
says there has been a gam.
Mr.. Robbins believes that when
the county board of equalization
and the state board of equaliza-
tion which meets the third week
in July passes on the assessments
that the valueatior will then be
brought up to $18,000,000 and
possibly $40, 600, 600 against $17,
500,00 last year.
tits gratifying to know. says
Mr.. Robbins, that Custer county
is rapidly growing in wealth as
we'll as population. He is conf
dent that greater strides will be
made during the next year. Star.

August 9TH.

The second annual firemen's
ball will be held in the l. O. OF.
hall on Friday evening, August
4th. This was decided on the
past week by the entertainment
committee Of the fire department
and since the announcement,
subcommittee have been ap-
pointed to assist in the event.
The dance this year promises
to eclipse all other events Of
it's kind in Ekalaka and nothing
is to be left undone to make it a
grand success. A committee on
decorations has been selected and
the hall will be in the best Of
shape. A firemen's ball, no mat
ter where it is held, is always
the event Of the season and
everyone buys a ticket whether
they dance or not, The money
realized from the sale Of tickets
to such an event is spent for
improvements in the department
and in this case the committee
intends purchasing a fire bell if
enough money is realized.
A midnight supper will be
served in the upper hall of the

NEW LAW IN EFFECT
Concerning The Registration OF
Voters Within The County
And State

The new system OF reglStra-
ton adopted by the last Mont
ana legislative assembly went
into effect on July l, and there
after all voters must register
with the county clerk and re-
corder, and not at the different
registration precincts as was the
practice heretofore. The new
system has an advantage over
the former system, in that all
voters must be registered, but
once registered, they need never
register again, so long as they
continue to vote at each election
and do not move from the pre-
cinct in which they lived at the
time of registration. The regis
tration of voters will become
part of the duties of the county
clerk and recorder and voters
may register at any time of the
year except thirty days before
each election. The Office hours
of the clerk are from 8 a, m. to
5p, m. daily, Sundays and legal
holidays excepted. Under the
present system. all persons re-
siding within d radias Of 70 miles
from the county court house
must appear personally at the
Office Of the county clerk to reg
lister. Those living outside this
Limit may appear before any
notary public or justice of the
peace and register by filing the
proper affidavit, which must then
be forwarded to the clerk to be
entered in the great register.
County registration will continue
until thirty days before the next
election. Within that time, any
voter who wisher to vote at any
election must have their names
in the big book or lose their vote.
A voter need not register but
once as long as he continues his
residence in the same precinct
or the same county. If he moves
or fails to vote at any election
his name will be cancelled, and
he must register again before he
is allowed to cast his ballot. The
new law provids severe penalties
for wrongdoing, both as regards
the voter and the registration
and election of officers. The
offense is a felony, and on con-
victior the punishment provided
is a term Of from one to ten
years in the penitcntiary.
The county clerk will compile
from the great register, precinct
registers for use at the polling
places at elections. Each voter
is required to have his name
written on the great register,
and other precautions are taken
to insure accurate identification
Of voters. The following data
must be obtained from each per-
son who registers; Number OF
registration, day, month and
year IF registration, name in
full. surname first, occupation.
age, height in feet and inches,
nativity, if naturalized, when

new ROCKFORD HAS
MILITARY COMP ANY

New Rockford, N. D., Jan. 81
Through the efforts of some of the
younger men of New Rockford, civil
liam company has been organized, con-
sisting Of about thirty Of the young
men of the town. The company will
meet every Tuesday night in Niven's
hall for drills and instruction in the
care and use of arms, rifle practice
and general field duty. :.
The company met last Tuesday night
for the first time and elected. officers.
w. e. Hart was elected captain and
j. E. Utley first lieutenant. The
other positions will be appointed by
the commissioned officers, after the
company has drilled for few weeks.
Captain Hart has had five years of
experience in the Illinois national
guard, serving four years of this time
as first lieutenant of Co. A, Sixth in
fantry, stationed at Rock Island, Ill.
During this time he acted as drill
master for the company to which he
was attached.
Lieutenant UtIey has had several
years experience in the First Mime
SAld IS5lllleuLt IlOlulIlg a nOn-COmTn1S-
sion in his company during the Span
ish-American war, and the New Rock
ford company can consider him q
very good man to have as one of the
instructors. He can also instruct the
men in the best way to eat hard tack
and corned beef-just ask him about it.
The object of the company is to es-
tablish company they may be proud
of, and one that will bring credit to
the town. They want to in few years
become a regular company of the
North Dakota national guard The
company intends to receive arms, belts
and bayonets from the state and to
uniform themselves. The object is to
make the company self-sustaining by
giving entertainments and exhibition
drills as a benefit for their mainten-
ance.
An organization of this sort should
be supported and upheld by the citi-
zens of New Rockford, as it is one
in which every one should be inter
ested.

MANY PRISONERS
IN BOWMAN JAIL
SECOND MAN CHARGED WITH
STEALING MERCHANDISE
FROM BOX CARS rs
.. HELD TO DISTRICT
COURT.

Bowman, N. d., Jan S1.--Last week
Frank Waters was held to the district
court on a charge Of grand larceny,
for stealing goods from box cars while
employed as a brakeman on the Chi
cago, Milwaukee g. Puget Sound rail-
way. John Mcdonald, another man in
the case, was last week arrested at
Independence, Ia, and brought to Bow
man by John Wernick, special agent
for the Milwaukee road. He was taken
before Judge Boyesen, waived examin-
ation and was bound over to the dis
trict court in the sum Of $1,000, in de-
fault of which he will remain in the
custody of Sheriff Moore until the next
term OF the district court, which will
be in April.
Mcdonald, while arrested in Iowa,
came back without requisition papers,
which saved considerable expense.
Special Agent Wernick is deter
mined to put an end to the stealing
of goods from the Milwaukee road
while in the transit or from the de-
pots, and it may be that other ar
rests will be made between Mobrldge
and Marmarth. 1t Is hoped here, how
ever, that he will make his catches in
some of the other counties, as four
prisoners are now in the Bowman
county jail, none Of whom will be tried
until April. These are Labe and Den
yer Woods, charged with murder, and
Waters and Mcdonald, charged with
grand larceny.

Bad Fire at Minot.

Minot, N. D., Jan. 30.--Fire which
broke out in the Robbins block on
south Main street dih- damage TO the
amount of about $1,000. C. J. Wea-
CANT, who occupied the main floor of
the building with undertaking parlors,
places his loss at about $4,000, fully
covered by insurance, while Mrs. ID. c.
Robbins, the owner of the building,
places her loss at about $500 on the
structure, with no insurance. Several
tenants occupied the upstairs portion
of the block and while none of their eff
fects were burned, $500 will cover the
damage done by smoke and water.
Chief Bissell charges the blaze to an
overheated furnace. The department
responded quickly to the alarm and
had hose stretched before the whistle
blew. Owing to the fire having it's
start in the basement the flames were
hard to reach and it was necessary to
use a large volume of water. The boys
fought hard, however, and succeeded
in combining the flames to the one

penny IN HIS THROAT
Need of a Hospital in Mercer County
Emphasized When Child SwaI-
lows Coin.

Stanley Republican: The necessity
Of a hospital in Mercer county was
brought forCibly to our minds again
this week when Gottlieb Isaak from
near Sofia brought his 18-months- old
child to this city for DIR. fowler to
remove, from the little fellows throat,
a penny which he had accidentally
swallowed. Upon. examination it was
found to be too far down to be re-
moved without the aid of an X-ray
and other appliances never found out
side of a hospital. Consequently the
little fellow whose life hung in the
balance had to be taken to the hos
pital at Bismarck, seven days having
elapsed from the time of the accident
until he reached the hospital We have
not learned whether he arrived safely
at his destination of not.
1t is certain that hospital is need
ed and our generous hearted citizens
should see that one is established. The
location is q minor consideration, as
far as we are concerned, but we do
know that hospital is badly needed
in Mercer county.
