80 TAX on THIs LAND.
Impossible TO Find Owner to strip il
Reno County.

Impossible to Find Owner to Strip in
Reno County.
Hutchinson, Kan. Sept. S.-There is
a strip of land nearly a mile long, and
about 100 feet wide, a few miles north
west of Hutchinson, which is prac-
tically an orphan.
This strip of land extends through
the middle of section 3. partly owned
by F. Morgan and partly owned by the
Yaggy plantation. Neither Mr. Nor
gan nor the Yaggys have a deed how
ever, to this strip of land, neither
claim the strip, and taxes have never
been paid on it.
1t was at one time part of the old
mill race. or canal, extending from the
Arkansas river east to Cow creek,
which sent water on down to operate
the old water mill here in the '70s.
The records at the court house show
that this strip was decided in 1873 to
NJ. z. Allison and others, and the title
still remains in the name of Mr.. Ali
son. according to the county records.
The peculiar thing about it is that
while it has long ago been abandoned
as a mill race, and is now part of the
farm property. it does not seem to be
claimed by anyone.
1t is perhaps the only piece of land
in Reno county which is not carried on
the tax rolls, and this omission is due
to the fact that nobody seems to
claim the old strip.

EAGLES Plan FOR
STATE Meeting
INITIAL STATE AERIE OF EAGLES
TO BE HELD AT GRAND FORKS
MEETING HELD LAST NIGHT AT.
VALLEY CITY AND THE EN-
THuslAsM WAS HIGH.

B. Maurek, state worthy vice presi-
dent and A. M. Knight, state worthy
secretary of the Fraternal Order of
Eagles, both of Fargo, returned home
this morning from Valley City where
they attended the local aerie last even
ing and at conference with 7. e.
Keough of wimbledon, state worthy
president. selected the date for the first
state aerie OF the lodge.
At the Valley City meeting two dates
were set for the state aer'ie which VIII
be held at Grand Forks. The prefer
able dates named were June 13 and IL
and the other dates agreed upon were
for June 81 and %. These two dates
win be presented to the members of the
Grand Forks aerie for their considera-
ton and the ones selected by the birds
from the university town will be the
time for the big fiickertail gathering.
"There was a large attendance at
the Valley City meeting last night"
said A. M Knight to a representative
OF The Forum this morning. Il have
never attended a meeting where the
enthusiasm ran SO high and where all
the members were so anxious to boost
the eagles.
"The Valley City aerie is going to
organize a degree team and this will
be at Grand Forks intact. Express
sions were made at the meeting to
show that everyone was heartily in
favor of the state aerie and at the roll
cali eighty mine members promised to
be in attendance at the Grand Forks
meeting"
The purpose Of the state organiza-
ton of Eagles is to make a division
In power and remove the North Dakota
lodges from under the supreme control
of the officers of the grand lodge. This
system has been in vogue for some time
and the members of the lodge are
anxious to manage the North Dakota
affairs themselves, instead Of being In
the power Of the grand lodge.
At the Grand Forks meeting dele
gates will be elected to go to the grand
aerie, which will be held at San Fran
cisco and these delegates will be in
structed to vote and support the can
didates who are heartily in favor OF
state autonomy.
There are now sixteen aeries Of the
lodge in North Dakota and the MEM
bership of the Eagles in this state Is
5000, which is an average of 200 men,
i bers for each aerie.
