Durability Analysed

Regarding wearing quality viii
sly that tue samples submitted by
i'ie il. w. Johns Manrilc Company
show that their roofing and sidinq
is made OF better material than tho
c,1ers. This fact in connection with
the known durability of their make
of roofing in actual use. show. in my
o'inicn, that 1t is the most durable
roof on which bids were received.
Regarding 'fireproofing' | will say
that since the /. w Johns MaHvillo
Company's roofing contains some
wGat les, asphalt than the hammond
Lumber Companys roofing it should
in my opinion, be somewhat r.,ore
fireprooi, but the difference is not
great. Us the Pioneer PAPER Com
pany's roofing is composed largely
of combustibIe material, it is not as
nearly fireproof as either of the other
roofings mentioned above
Regarding prute ton against
leaks will say that all, in my op-
inion, will be equally effective during
their life if properly laid and main
tanned.
Regarding cost | VIII say that
in my opinion. taking into considcra-
ton maintenance and repair which
are necessary on all roofs. that the
n. w. Johns Manville will eventually
prove the cheapest.

TRANSFER OF SHIP is
QUESTIONED BY BRITAIN

London, Jan. 1S.-Referring to the
statement published here today that
the American treasury department has
refused to insure the steamer Dacia
formerly a German vessel, but now I'M
der American register, the Westmin-
lister Gazette this afternoon in an edi-
torial article says:
I'VE may fairly take this as evidence
that the United States recognizes the
transfer of the Dacia as one which can
not be accepted silently by our gov
ernment. This is much more than a
question whether Germany is to get the
cotton which naturally enough tho
United States wants to sell her. II
the Dacia transfer we're permitted,
similar transfers might be made on all
German ships in America. The result
Of this would be to deprive us of one
of the advantages OF sea power to
which we believe we are legitimately
entitled"

ARKANSAS CLAIMANTS
BATTLE WITH SOUTH
DAKOTA FOR ESTATE
Other Contestants In Mcclellan
Case Eliminated-Property
Increased In Value.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Jan. Is. - Judge
Smith has concluded hearing the argu.
ments in the celebrated case involving
the estate of John Mcclellan, a Sioux
Falls pioneer, who, about Is years ago.
was killed In an elevator accident. The
estate originally was worth about $40.
900. Although there have been heavy
drains on the estate because OF the liti-
cation between opposing sets OF heirs,
the property has increased in value
during the Is years IL has been in liti-
CATION to such an extent that the es'
tate now must be worth not less than
$4,000
The opposing sets of claimants reside
in Ireland, in Canada and in Arkansas.
The state OF South Dakota, some years
ago. interviewed in the case, alleging
that none of the claimants were thd
true heirs and that the estate rightfully
belonged to the state OF South Oako'
ia. The state secured a court decision
awarding II the estate on this ground,
Since that time the fight for the estate
has been reopened on several occasions,
and the case. IN which the arguments
have just been concluded, is another Of
the instances in which the fight was
Teopened on the ground OF new evI-
dence.
One of the difficulties experienced IT,
ascertaining the rightful heirs OF the
estate Is the fact that Mcclellan was
a very secretive man. Pc never talked
about the past, and IL he had wife
during the years following his arrival
In Sioux Falls, when Sioux Falls was
mere village, he never admitted II or
referred to her.
The disposition of the estate is now
a question to be decided favorably for
the state OF South Dakota or the Ar
kansas claimants. all the other claim
ants having been eliminated by the
latest litigation.

will be held at Mitchell during the last
week OF January. Extensive preparations
are now being made by the Commercial
