Bowbells Man, Seeking Deed

Bowbells. n. D.. Jan. 15.-Oscar
Dahl has returned from Moose Jaw,
Sask., where he spent the fall at
working at harvesting and threshing,
and is now making preparations to
fight the suit in district court which
he brought some weeks ago against
Herbert Dixon for the possession Of a
quarter section of land out in the
hills. Early in the fall Mr.. Dahl made
UP his mind to go into Canada to take
a homestead and was at that time
informed by Dixon that a person
owning any land in the United States
was not eligible to file on land in Can
ada. AS Dahl proved up and owned
a quarter section here and was unable
to sell it Immediately without suffer-
ing Il loss he changed his mind about
going until Dixon suggested the land
he decided over to him. and that he
would hold the deed without record
ing same until Dahl returned from
Canada. Dahl returned from Can.
ada. Dahl consented to this and the
deed was drawn up and signed, and
Dahl left for Canada and whenn FL
ing on Il claim learned that it made
no difference whether he owned land
here or not. but would be allowed
to file anyway. On getting this in
formation he returned to Bowbells
Immediately and demanded of Dixon
that the deed be returned to him and
was refused. Contrary to the ar
engagements made, Dixon is alleged to
have placed the deed on record i'm.
mediately after it came into his pos
session and would not transfer the
land back except for u consideration.
The suit was brought to cancel the
deed which had been placed on rec
ord.

TRADE REVIEW
Little Change in Actual Con-
ditions By Last Weeks
F.. - es 49,
Trading

New York, Jan. 15.-Quotations
moved in an uncertain way in the
securities market last week displaying
no definite tendency. Conditions bear
ing upon the market were not changed
in essentials. The i%rregularity of
the serious %dislocation of the ma
chinery of the stock market by the
burning of the Equitable building and
the impounding in buried safe deposit
vaults of millions in securities. Sus-
pension of the ordinary rules for re-
livery tied owe the situation.
Speculative opinion was confused.
Increased activity in trade at the end
of the year resulted in the building up
OH which there has been a disposition
to realize with the turf of the year.
On the other hand. the flooding of the
money market with funds from the
interior furnishes an Indictment to
speculation. This flow of money to
the reserve center has been on an ex-
traordinary scale. The redundant
ward course of rates in spite of the
demand for funds from abroad, which
was sufficient to stiffen foreign ex-
change rates.
The investment demand for bonds
was on a considerably larger scale
through the fore part of last week.
but 500 fell away again. in spite of
some buying for account of invest
ment institutions. Issues of new Sc
curities in large amounts are also
Withheld from the market. The fact
that the temporary note issues are
resorted to by both railroad and in
dustrial corporations is of dubious i'm
port for the investment position.
The inflow of funds to New York,
while it is seasOnable after completion
of the crop movements, indicates by
its unusual size the contracted COM
mercial requirements. Reports of rail-
road earnings in a number Of cases
were unusually unfavorable. For these
reasons the large increase in untitled
orders of the Unitd States Steel cor
poration on December 81 was less of
a factor in marking up prices of stocks
than 1t otherwise might have been.
The gain of $4,000 tons in December
was nearly all due to preliminary esti-
which were made to procure these
ordrs are we'll known. The decrease
of ~22.330.00O pounds in stocks of cop
per on the other hand was no larger
than had been looked for.
Political and labor disturbances ic
France and England were responsible
for some reflected pres-ure on the
New York markt. Expectations for
the steel industry of the country are
p~redicated partly upon the export de-
mand. and events abroad thus have
added significance. Scarcity of ocean
carrying space and high freight rates
testify to the thriving state Of foreign
trade.

spontaneous expression should not be
refused if it We're practical to grant
it coupled with a general life's desire
on my part to do those things my
