not from where he will receive in
struction from the tax commissioner
where to proceed and begin operations
for that body. The commission have
engaged Mr.. Sorenson to proceed tc

existing between counties of the east
ern and western part of the state
Lands in Trail county are assessed
less than in Renville county, while
there it is selling for as high as $50
per acre and in this county it is sell
ng from $25 to $50 The work Of the
tax commission will now be in the
hands of the equalization board toe
late for relief this year, but some
changes can be looked for in 1916

MEDORA MAN HERO
GARDNER RESCUES TWO

Holding a woman in one hand and
a girl in the other, in water up to
his neck, George Gardner, proprietor
of the Rough Rider hotel at Medora,
battling every inch of the way against
strong current, safely gained the
banks of the Little Missouri river and
saved the lives of his companions.
The accident happened Saturday at
the old Roosevelt Elkhorn ranch on
the Little Missouri river, 35 miles
north of Medora, at Ellison postoffice.
The river was swollen by the recent
rains and Mr.. Gardner was advised
not to try to ford, but he thought he
could make it and drove right in from
the west side. The rig turned COM
pletely over and, but for his heroic
efforts and the fact that he is very
tall man, the lady and her daughter
would have found watery grave.
After taking his passengers to a
place of safety, Mr.. Gardner was able
to rescue his team.

FISHING PARTY HAD FINE TRIP

George A. MCGEE, A. M. Thompson,
A. A. Robinson and r. E. Barron, aft
err spending ten days fishing in the
wilds of Minnesota, thirty miles north
of Grand Rapids, returned to Minot
Monday The captain of the party,
Fred J. Whitman, went to Duluth and
Minneapolis on business.
The party brought back a hundred
fine specimens of black bass, very
gamey fish, which they caught in
large numbers in Spider Lake. The
members of the party had a fine out
ing and have already planned on go
ing next year, taking their wives with
them
Mr.. Robinson took his camera along
and wanted to catch sight of some
deer to secure a good picture. The
guide placed him at the edge Of the
woods and rounded up three deer which
passed within a few rods. The guide
called to "Robbie" to chase the deer
and yell at the top of his voice, in
forming him that they would lie down,
permitting him to get better picture.
This he did and the scratches that may
be seen about his face give evidence
to the fact that he must have gone
along some through the thick brush
and the deer likewise.

SEN ATOR HANSBROUGH'S

The Independent has received a copy
of former Senator H. c. Hansbrough's
new book "War and Woman" The
book is an exposition of mans fail
ure as harmonizer. This is an argu-
ment for universal peace made by a
statesman of twenty years experience
as a member of the United States
senate. His argument is that man
has failed to do away with war, and
the task, therefore, devolves upon wo-
man: The book is certain to attract
much attention.

SAYS BERLIN PLANS
SECRET RADIO
Continued from page 1

He made the comment from these that
messages could be transmitted from
the station for about 10 miles, but
they could receive messages from a
much greater distance.
In view Of this statement from Mr..
Collar, the Embassy calls attention to
the great frankness Of messages sent
by United States government en-
ployes through Tuckerton, which speak
of sending messages through the new
station.
While no official comment could be
obtained tonight, il is believed here
that there will be searching invcsti-
CATION by the Navy Department as a
result of the charges, particularly into
the ease with which the messages al
most outlining the plan of work at the
new German station were dispatched to
high German officials by Mayer. The
comment that newspaper sensations
might prevent the cooperation between
"the Navy Department and US" is also
likely to result in rigid inquiry.
One of the most curious of the mes
sages sent from Tuckerton by Mr.. May
er TO the president of the Hamburg
American Line was that sent after dis
satisfaction had been expressed, appar-
ertly, with the speed of the progress Of
the new work, or some other element in
the work of the German agent.
IF my services are not satisfactory"
he wirelessed on October u, "as SEEM
ingly indicated by your messages, i'm
pCrtance Of situation prompts me to
beg board of direction appoint success
sor to take better care of situation and
release me Of duty. Respectfully"
Some stress was laid here tonight
on the use of the words importance
of situation" in this message. A harm
less little receiving station, which did

cash at favorable terms. This condi-
ton insured easy terms for private
credit and every trace of panic dis
appeared The credit institutions which
/ had been created during the first critl-
cal days at the beginning OF the war
were utilized only moderately. Even
the ichsdarlehenkassen" were not
much used
Loans Were All Popular.
With this favorable development in
economic and financial conditions, the
success of the war loans was insured.
The first loan in September, 1914,
brought total subscription of $780,
900, 900 marks; the second, in March,
1915, 9,l03 900 900 marks, and the third,
in September, 1915. l2,lOO,OOO,OOO
marks. The grand total of these three
war loans is 1858 900 900 marks. The
price of the first war loan was 97h, OF
the second 9Sia and of the third 90 per
cent, despite the fact that the interest
rate remained at per cent.
The number of subscribers, too, be-
came larger with each issue. To the first
loan there were $4,000 subscribers, to
the second 100000 and to the third 350,-
900. The great number of small sub
scriptions indicated that the loan was
popular in the fullest sense of the word.
II is noteworthy that the subscriptions
were quickly paid in in the majority of
cases. This holds especially true Of the
+ last war loan. The records show that on
October 7, ten days before the date fixed
as the last day for the first payment,
/ 6.420 5000 marks had been paid in.
/ This brilliant success is principally
/ due to the favorable development OF
/ Germany's economic and financial con-
dition. And that this development was
caused largely by the efforts Of Eng
land to throttle Germany's economic
/ life is a peculiar irony. England ex-
perienced the same sensation as Ba-
laam, in whose mouth the desired curse
changed into a blessing.
II is true, of course. that economic
conditions we're not the only cause OF
/ the success Of the war loans. Patriot
! ism, the willingness to bring sacrifices
and, above all, the determination of the
| German people to bring the war to a
successful termination played big
role in the achievements of these re-
suits.
When DR.. Helferich. the Secretary
of the Treasury, said in his speech to
the Reichstag on August 90, To-day
all available money belongs to the
Fatherland." he only expressed what
every German had long felt. In well
known English periodical, THE Finan-
cial News" of August 20, this express
sion was interpreted to mean that the
government had confscated all mon
eys to make up the war loan, and that
the loan was, therefore. an enforced
and involuntary one. Such interpreta
lions only prove how little is known in
England Of the feeling which dominates
the German people.
Every German considers it as a sa-
cred duty to dc everything in his power
to help the Fatherland. As the great
German philosopher Fichte said in his
speeches to the German Nation:
Not the power Of the army nor the a,,
effectiveness of arms. but the strength
OF feeling wins a victory

citizens members of the Privy Council.
The Attorney General, Sir Frederick
Smith, argued that, despite the maxim
that "the King can do no wrong" Sir
George was really complaining that
the King had done wrong in selecting
his advisers.
Counsel for Sir Ernest contended
that the act of 1870 giving naturalized
aliens all rights and privileges Of ma
tive British citizens removed any pre-
vious disabilities which might have
prevented naturalized subjects from
becoming Privy Councillors.
Counsel for the Anti-German League
disputed the contention Of Sir Fred
erick that no judgment favorable to
the applicants could be enforced, as 1t
would Involve an order to the Crown.
The Lord Chief Justice, Baron Read
ing. announced the court would assume
that when it declared the law its rul-
ings would be applied and that there
would be no question as to the posi-.
bilitv that the Crown might set al
naught a declaration Of the court.
