Just note in passing that this is to
be the big building year in Grand
Forks. Most important Of all will be
the fine new court rouse. Then comes
the Masonic temple. for which the
ground has already been cleared ready
for the spring opening. And among
the business buildings will be the
Griffith building on the site Of the old
Masonic temple, the Bacon building
on the site Of the present livery barns.
the Geist building on Third street. and
other business buildings. with resi-
dences innumerable. There is no
boom on. and we want no boom, but
the requirements Of the city demand
more buildings of all kinds. and the
builders are preparing to meet that
need in a sane and orderly way.

PARTITION OF TURKEY.

Chicago Record Herald: Scarcity
Of money is rapidly bringing about an
end Of the Balkan war. Turkey is
exhausted, and agrees to the disnem-
berment OF her territory in Europe.
OF the s 5000 square miles of this ter
ritory, with a population Of 6,130, 900.
she Is to retain only a portion as large
a. Montenegro, or about 1000 square
miles. This remnant of Turkey in Eu-
rope will comprise Constantinople and
the country to the westward as far as
the Martha and Eugene rivers. The
towns Of Enos and Midia. respectively.
will mark the southern limits Of Tur-
key. Crete is relinquished, and will
fall to Greece. The question Of the
Aegean Islands is to be settled by the
great powers.
The partition Of the Balkan penin-
sula among tho allies has not been set
tied, but it may be settled that Bull
garia will extend her coast down to
Midia, within s%eventy-7ve miles Of
ConEtantinople, and taking in the city
and much Of the vilayet Of Adrian
ople, containing $4,000 square miles.
Servia, it is supposed, will obtain Kos
sovo. with $4,000 quare miles: and
Greece has already captured Saloniki
and Janina. a~ggregating 10000 square
miles. The powers are to fix the linn
its Of Albania, which is not to fall
into the hands Of the allies. excepting
perhaps a small portion that will go
to Montenegro.
The attitude Of Montenegro and the
question Of Indemnity are the princi-
pal factors Of the problem yet to be
solved. The powers are not disposed
to entertain a demand for indemnity
on the part Of the allies, in addition
to the territory acquired. The allies.
however. will no doubt prolong the
negotiations before releasing Turkey
from the costs of war. Montene.
gro is still hammcring at Scutari. and
as the fortunes Of war have gone in
the Balkans she is entitled to that
province. The interposition of Aus
tria. however, has prevented Montene-
gro from reaping proportionate bene-
fits in the war. and the powers appear
to be willing to ignore her demands.
Unquestionably the world will be
better off as a result Of the war. The
territory wrested from the Turks is
rich in natural resources. and under
decent government will develop ra-
pidly. Turks. Greeks, and Albanians
are almost equally numerous, and con
stitute 20 per cent Of the population.
The rest is made up Of Serbs, Bulga-
rianA Roumanians. Armenians, Mag
Sars. Gypsies, and Circassians.

ABOUT ROADS.

There are all sorts. of ideas about
the building OF roads. the collection
and expenditure Of the tax with which
they are to be built, and everything
connected with the subject. For our
part We believe that there is just one
proper way to collect the road tax in
all communities outside Of backwoods
and frontier districts. and that is to
collect it in cash. The working out"
OF tho road tax is a survival Of the
old practice Of paying all taxes in
produce. which We imported from Eu-
rope, and which, as applied there, and
in U own country n the early years,
VA the only feasible plan to work on.
In feudal times in England it would
have served no purpose to say that a
man should pay so much money as a
tax, for he had not the money, and
he had no means Of getting it. The
thing could be handled by requiring
him to pas so many bushels Of barley,
80 many gallons Of beer, SO many
cows or oxen, or 20 much Of anything
that he raised. And when our own
colonies were settled money was out
Of the question. Nobody had any
But h people had labor and the
things that labor could produce, hemp,
fish. tobacco. hides. tallow. and all
sorts Of things the product Of the land.
And they paid their taxes in these
things. 1t was also possible for them
to get out in person and repair the
roads. whereas it would have been
impossible to pay a cash tax for this
purpose. We have abandoned the
payment of taxes in kind except in
this n particular. and a lot of us
stick to this old and formerly useful
custom as if the fate Of the nation de-
pended on it. Then there is the man
ner in which the work should be done.
In the name OF all that is sensible,
do it as other work is done, by hiring
the responsible person who will do
the work in the best manner n for
inc lowest price, and pay him for 1t.
Any other plan is a mere makeshift.
One other matter that lies very close
to the roo Of all real Improvement
OF the roads is the designation of the
places where the work shall be done.

Interesting, but not important" is
the comment that might be made on
the Simpliied Spelling boards new list
of something like 1000 additional new
%spellings. The board has been at work
for several years. and it has made a
number of recommendations. which is
what the board is for. It has given
deep study to the subject of spelling.
and has eliminated from a number of
words letters which it deems to be
superf1uous. And most of us have
kept right along spelling in the same
bad old way. without paying any at
tcntion to the recommendations of the
board. A magazine or two. a newspa.

NEW ORLEANS YARD is
FAVORED BY ROOSEVELT
Acting Secretary of Navy May Rec
ommend Reopening for Certain
Ship Repairs.

Although he has not announced his de-
clsion, 1t is expected that Acting Secre
tary Roosevelt, who returned to this city
today from an inspection of the New Or
leans navy yard, will recommend the re-
opening of that yard for the repair of the
navys lighter draft vessels. The Navy
Department has been known for some
time to favor the project of repairing
smaller vessels on duty in south Atlantic
waters in some southern yard rather than
to send them to other yards. sometimes
as far north as Portsmouth, y. III. Mr.
Roosevelt said the machinery at the New
Orleans yard is in perfect working condi-
ton. and he thinks the yard could be
reopened with profit and without large
expenditure.
Mr.. Roosevelt also visited the Pensacola
station, especially with view to deter
mining its fitness as site for concen-
tration camp for marines. The Navy De-
partment has decided to send about 500
marines to Pensacola at the conclusion of
the advanced base maneuyers at Culebra
and Guantanamo next winter.
About 200 of these will be quartered on
their ship, while the remainder will oc-
cupy the marine barracks. now dfsused.
Later the Pensacola station probably will
be developed into an important cOncen-
tration station for advanced base opera

Miss Boardman Explains
Plans of the Red Cross
for Aid in Lumber Camps

Miss Mabel Boardman. active head of
the American National Red Cross, today
presented to the National Conservation
Congress a plan for first aid to the in
jured in lumber camps of the United
States.
Miss Boardman stated that no accurate
data can be given as to accidents In the
lumber Industries, and for this reason she
bases her estimates on statistics obtained
from the state of Washington. In that
state Al. 400 men are employed in the lum-
ber district. She cites that in twenty
three months. in the Washington lumber
camps 2J1 fatal accidents occurred; 800
persons were permanently partially dis
abled, and S.42O suffered from temporary
total disability. This .gives a monthly
average of more than ten killed. forty
three permanently disabled and 366 tenn
porarily disabled. Quoting figures made
by Maj. f. T. Griggs. L. S. A., she
sumes that $4,000 people were employed
in the lumber industry of the United
States. This gives the state of Wash
ington one-sxteenth of the total. On
this basis. Miss Boardman considers it
fair to figure an annual total for the
country of 1920 killed. S.256 permanently
partially disabled and 1922 temporarily
totally disabled This makes a daily
death rate of five, with twenty-five per-
manently disabled and 1S2 temporarily
disabled

Regarded as Important Field.

Based on these figures, the American
Red Cross sees an important field for in
structions in the prevention of accidents
and in the practical application of first
aid to the injured for the lessening of
fatal, serious or prolonged results from
accidents when they do occur.
Miss Boardman alluded to the great
personal danger to river divers when a
single slip may mean the crushing out
of life or drowning. She also declared
that there is vast number Of yearly
accidents in the sawmills.
The proposition of the Red Cross is as
follows:
ITO make an eXperiment-and we learn
best by experience-the Red Cross makes
this proposal: Toward a fund of $1,000
it will contribute 500 if a number of
lumber companies in a given locality will
club together to raise the additional
s., 500, each contributing according to the
number of their respective camps and
employees. This fund will provide for
the salary and expenses of a physician
specially trained by the Red Cross for
instruction to men engaged in the lumber
industry, both for the prevention of acci-
dents and first aid to the injured. II
