her roomers. the damage to the furn,-

were driven to the street without tsh

piano in the building escaped without
practically any injury. The total loss

The Origin of the fire is unknown, but
IT started in the livery barn. There he'd
been fire in the barn Office stove ct
different times in the morning of lsts,
but it 10 not thoaght that it started from
that source. Many think q tramp he'd
sought lodging in the barn for the night
and set fire to the structure
1t seemed that the flames burst from
the building in many places at the same
time, and when IT was discovered there
was no hope of saving it, With the FIRE
hose on the ground in short time all
effort was devoted to saving sdjoin-
ing buildings. The large brick gar
age was not at any time in
great danger. although most of the
autos were removed from it. Only the
good work of the firemen and plenty of
water saved the Gum building from GO
ing to the ground.
The Eastman livery barn building
WAS one of the old landmarks of Gunni-
son, having been built by Mcintyre and
Bean in lss0. The other structure was
also built during the early times.

A little over nine years ago q number
of men conceived plan whereby they
might eventually become comparatively
rich with but little effort or expense on
their part. They, it is nov shown, were
foresighted and will soon be many times
repaid for the little initial expense.
These men, l6 of them, appeared be-
fore Register o. C. Skinner at the local
lsnd Office on the 14th day of September
and made their application for patent
upon 100 acres each of coal land on which
they had performed the first assessment
work little over nine years ago.
These IL coal claims oil lie together
end are located about eight miles from
Paonia. in the famous Somerset and
Bowie coal districts which ere among
the big producers of the state. and
mine . very fine quality of coal.
These men, headed by Sam Porter,
nov residing at Paohia, but formerly
quite . well known Denver man, in
their affidavits. state that they took
possession of their coal claims in June
1906. and have regularly performed the
necessary assessment work annually
since.
This particular section of coal land
not being open for entry at that time,
they really held possession on . squat
ter's right, and bided their time for the
government to survey and file the plats
with the United States land Office, thus
throwing them open for entry.
Until the new government classifica-
tion of few years ago, all coal lands
were classified into two divisions, those
within Is miles of railroad, at $40 per
acre voluation, and those over Is miles
from any railroad at $40 per acre. The
department of the interior has a ruling
to the effect that coal land taken up be-
fore the new classification. when the
required work has been performed
hereon. can be paid for at the old valu-
alton, when thrown open, even tho it
has been greatly raised in value.
The claims these men took up years
ago are now listed by the government
at valuation of from s325 to S525.
while they are required to pay but $40
an acre for it.
The 10 men have together total of
2, 500 acres of coal land. which they will
pay but s51, 200 for, while at a conser-
vative average of $500 per acre it would
be worth s76s, 900. If marketable at
that figure, and no doubt it viii be he
fore many years at least, they have
netted over s700, 600, or better than s43-
900 each. This is surely good financi-
ering.
The lands above mentioned were sur
veyed and reclassifed by the govern
ment and the township plat filed in the
local United States land Office on Nov
II, 1914. As one is given . year IN
which to file their application for patent

TELL 1T TO THE ASSESSOR.

During the month of April the asses
sor will call upon the taxpayers. and this
is the year in which he gathers the
statistics which are tabulated and re.
ported to the governor. They constitute
the official statistics of the state and re.
ceive the widest possible publicity that
the state government can give them.
1t is of vital Importance to the farmer
that he understands this proposition. for
instead of these figures working against
hun, they are his only protection against
the speculator who arranges his figures
to suit himself, and which might work
against the farmer. II the farmers
figures prove inaccurate and unreliable,
then his cause and the cause of the
county in which he lives. and in fact the
entire state, suffers by comparison in
the estimation Of everyone who is seek.
ing knowledge of North Dakota, her pro
ducts and resources.
Commissioner Flint, of the agriculture
al department, is guarding the interests
of both the farmer and the state, and is
out with the request that all farmers,
for their own good il nothing more, get
as near to the exact figures as possible
when the assessor calls.
The same applies to those in the cities
and villages who are engaged in manu-.
featuring and other enterprises, in that
they meke as good showing as pos
sible. as every item Of progress is re-
com mendation for the state. Everything
showing industry should be represented
in the statistics.

SOME CONCLUSIONS
OF THE WAR.

After seven months of war under mod.
ern conditions some conclusion may be
reached, or at least partially SO. Among
these are the following:-
That aeroplanes are and will be princi-
pally useful in war as scouts and tnat
they have become an absolute necessity
for that purpose alone.
That Zeppelins or air ships Of that
type, lack speed, but that it is quite
possible that in the future they may
be developed so that they will be come
the equal of the submarine as destruc-
tive agents.
That artillery ls stronger than fortifi
cations or steel clad ships.
That the longest range and heaviest
guns win the naval and most of the land
battles.
That the bayonet is still often the
weapon that decides battles nothw witbs
etanding artillery, shrapnel and machine
guns.
That the army motor is now gasoline
vehicle.
That the spade is . stronger weapon

mercial Club. duly signed BY ). p.
Hardy. the secretary. We don't sxpect
that we vill be able to attend many Of
their meetings or periodical functions on
account of the distance between US. but
wei are thankful for the remembrance
just the same. 1t was our privilege to
attend a meeting of commercial clubs at
Grand Forks last year, where we learned
considerable of what is being done by
these arteries of commercial unions locsl
ly. In answer to question by one OF
the members as to the best method Of
forcing collections from delinquent mem.
bers, Mr.. Hardy answered that il mem.
Der did not have enough pride to donate
his little mite to help the commercial
club as he had agreed he should be
dropped, which is sound advice We
took the advice home with US aud It has
been put into practice. We are pleased
to say however, that the Pemblna Com.
mercial Club meet with but little obsti
Gle in eIther:getting or collecting dues.
and the workIaccomplished the last t,w
years is lots considering the size of

OUR JURY SYSTEM.

What is the matter with the American
jury system? That there is something
the matter goes without saying and the
enormous amounts of money spent in
trials that are wasted, in the end is RI
diculous.
Last week twelve reputable men sat
on the United States jury at Bismarck
and listened to the evidence in the case
of the government against the publish
ers of the "Jim Jam Gems" a periodical
that has been denied admission to the
United States mails. Two former jur.
iers have sat on the case, one of which
brought in verdict Of guilty, which
verdict the Judge set aside on techni-
cality, while another jury disagreed.
Either the former jnrors in this case,
who listened to the same evidence, were
not competent to judge, or the men who
sat there last week and decided for &C.
quittal should have been some other
place than in the jury box.
We came to the conclusion long ago
that the jury system in this country is
wrong, and remedy is necessary.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Regular routine fighting goes on along
the Franco-Belgian frontier with the
usual number of killed and wounded
but no definite progress made on either
side.
In Poland and Galicia come the same
conflicting reports. Both sides seem to
be quite successful and each are taking
the usual number Of prisoners daily.
II the figures are correct, tbs total tex
change must have long ago exceeded
the total numbers in either army.
Nothing special has occurred this
week at the Dardanelles. Fog is gwen
as the reason. There is talk of trans
ports loaded with troops ready to land
as 'soon as the ships reduce some Of the
forts.
Much speculation is printed as to the
coming "spring camgaign" which is ex-
pected when the grand rush will be
made by the allied army.
1t looks rs though England will be
compelled to resort to conscrip.ion to
keep up the army.
There is strong sentiment to close
all bars in England as q war measure.
