More than dozen laws passed by
the last Legislature will go into effect
New Years day. Two Of the most
Important measures are the eastman
distance tariff law and the. tax CLASH
fieation law.
Tax Law to Affect Many.
The tax classification law pro-
ably will affect greater number Of
people directly than any other law
passed at the session. Although
made effective January 1, it's practi-
cal working will not begin until the
assessments are made next spring and
its effect will not be felt until people
begin paying their 1915 taxes year
from next January.
The new law is almost revolution
airy in theory, although in effect the
changes from the present assessment
rates will not be SO great as con-
templated when the bill was first in.
40 duceds The present law provides
for the assessment Of all propertySat
full value, but there were compare
lively attempts at full enforcement.
-Four Glasses Made.
The new law divides property into
four classes and provides that iron
ore lands, constituting class 1, shall
be assessed at SO per cent of their
actual value. Glass 2, to be assessed
at rs per cent Of full value, includes
all household goods and furniture and
wear apparel. Glass includes
live stock, poultry, stocks of mer-
chandise, agricultural products, man
ufacturers' materials and products,
all tools and implements, and all un-
plated real estate except iron ore
property, and is to be assessed at 33
1-3 per cent of it's actual value. Glass
4, to be assessed at 40 per cent Of
it's true value, includes city real
estate and any other property not
specifically mentioned in the three
first classes. s..
New Schedules January l.
The new rate schedules being made
under the eastman law will go into
effect January 1, unless a court in
junction prevents. A number OF
hearings have been held on the
schedules, which will change rail-
road rates to practically every sta.
ton in the state. The joint freight
rate law is intended to supplement
the eastman distance tariff law.
The locomotive headlight bill pro-
vides that after January l every rail-
road engine must be equipped with a
headlight Of at least 1900 candle
power, measured without the aid Of
reflector. The means, railroad men
say, that every locomotive must have
an electric arc headlight. An execp-
ton is made in the case of switching

LITTLE RED SCHOOL
HOUSE PASSING AWAY

Fargo, n. D., June l1.-The little
red school house is passing in North
Dakota. 1t has outlived its useful.
ness and is becoming a relic Of the
past. In its stead is the consolidated
rural school that is winning wide pop
ularity everywhere it is tried, and Gre
ating the greatest enthusiasm among
the patrons, the teachers. and super
intendents.
There are two favorite methods Of
consolidated schools. one to estab-
lish them exclusively in the rural dis
tricts by the consolidation of two or
more small one-room district schools.
Another is TO consolidate two or three
nearby one-room schools with an es-
tablished village school. The lat
ter idea is popular along the railroad
lines, but it is contended that in many
respects the exclusively rural consoll-
dated schools are more effective, be.
cause there Is less distraction.
Richland, Rollette, Ransom, Barnes
Grand Forks, McHenry, Traill and
Wells counties have led in the con-
solidated movement. Some counties
are now just beginning to appreciate
the POSSIBILITIES of the plan and the
number Of consolidated schools now
exceeds the hundred mark. At least
a score Of new ones have been estab-
lished recently. In only two or
three instances have the propositions
been voted down and those were usll-
ally in localities where full discus
sion had not been had.
The state aids the schools by Civ
ing $500 annually to the two-room con
solidated and $500 to the four-room
schools. The chief problem is not so
much in securing the consultations
as in getting the children from the
remote corners of the districts trans
ported. In some instances they arc
kept on the road for long periods to
and from school.

OLD timer
LANDS IN Town

One of the most unique figures
which has graced the convention OF
firemen is that of Joe Gokey, repre-
senting the Dawson department. MI
Gokey is one Of the most thorough
sportsmen in the northwest. and, by
the way. he enjoys a reputation
among the millionaire class, for when
that class look for anything in the
sportsman line they always remember
Gokey.
1t was in rs that Mr.. Gokey first
hit the trail in the Dakotas. and what
he doesn't know about the habots OF
game. and the haunts which attract
both man and fur, feather and fin,
isn't worth botherins with. The wri.
ter we'll remembers many years ago
when he first met Mr.. Gokey. 1t was
in the pioneer days when good fellow
ship ran through the veins OF all who
met, when there was no chance OF dis
agreement through business. politics
or other causes of strife; when all
men and we're accepted for the pos
sible good that might be in them. and
when men formed a comradeship
which was 10 coutn in the days which
were to come and which now are.
Gokey is employed most of the time
as a guide to hunting parties, a guide
through the national park, through
any part Of the west. He knows every
foot of the northwest. Out from Daw-
son a few miles he has a club house
which car not be eNcelled In the
northwest: he knows all the good
hunting grounds. In Minnesota, near
Perham, he has a fishing resort which
is unexcelled. He knows the bad
lands, the prairies. the mountains, the
lagos and the streams. He is an ex.
pert photographer and has photos of
the great scenes in this state. many
of which have made history. He has
photos of The Spsider family, of the
men killed with them. and of them
as they dangled in the wind at Will
Transport after the lynchers were
through.
He was in the Sitting Bull cam.
paign and other famous scenes which
are now in history in North Dakota.
AS has been said Gokey is a char.
acier in North Dakota history. and
Dawson made a hit in advertising when
it sent him here as its representative.

CROSSES THE Line
IN A BASS VOL

F Canton, O., June 11.-Peter Ocean,
thirty-six years old. was literally car
ried away bu music. He reached
Canton from Lisa, Hungary, after
crossing the Hungarian border in a
huge bass viol on the back of a husky
Roumanian disguised as a gypsy mu-
sician.
Ocean brought first hand stories of
the warlike preparations of Austria
Hungary for hostilities with Montene-
gro. He was himself drafted to serve
in the army. He a just about to
leave for America. He did not want
to serve. Efforts to obtain passports
failed. Each time he attempted to
cross the border he was turned back
By Hungarian soldiers who patrol the
frontier.
Determined to come to Canton at all
hazards, he bit upon the plan of con
cealing himself in the bass viol. A
companion concealed himself in a bass
drum. Friends disguised as itinerant
musicians carried hem Oyer the from
tier.
At n time they stopped by a
party of soldiers, who compelled the
musicians carried them over the from
ments in which COcan and his COM
panion we're concealed. They es-
capped detection at this time, and.
after crossing the border, they walked
several miles to a railroad.
1T was a thrilling experience"
said COcan, who has taken a job in
a Canton mill. "As l lay in the big
bass yiol | could hear the musicians
parleying with the old.ers. Soon l
heard a scraping of the strings. They
played a popular song. Then the
soldiers allowed us o depart over
the border in peace, and we were
safe"
