cation COMPLETES
IT'S WORK
$50 aiitsHssElEs. -
MniOt's Taxation Will Be About the
Same as Year Ago-Assessed VAL
uation Over S2,5OO,O00.

The city commission, which has been
sitting as board Of equalization, has
completed it's work. The assessed val
uation of the city was left at $780,
900, which with the value of the rail-
road property brings the valuation up
to over $2,600,000. The property is
equalized on a lower valuation than
last year but when the state raises it
about rs per cent the taxes will am
o1ht to practically the same as last
year.
There are about three hundred res
idents of Minot who should pay their
poll tax Of $3.50 each, or if they desire
to work out the tax they can do so at
the rate Of dollar day. 1t is up
to the street commissioner to collect
this tax.

REWARDS TO ELEVEN
FOR BASKET RECORDS

Nine men will be awarded "R. Is"
and two RS" for work on the basket
ball squad OF the local high school, ac-
cording to the report of the athletic
board Of control, which net yesterday
afternoon and acted upon Coach Carl
AndersOn's recommendation The men
who will receive the former award are:
Al Taber, captain; Dempsey, Acliley,
Anderson. Heimbcch, Huber, Thomas,
Barker and Ed 'Tabe~. Those Who will
receive "to,'5" are Wilson and Robb.
The n. l." is the award given ty
the school to all who have rendered
service to the team III most OF the
games and the single letter r. is
distinction of honor given to those who,
although not playing the part Of first
team men, ha. given faithful scrE.Ce
TO the team and have played in feT
o. the game.
TIE board c. control accepted ell the
recommendations o. the coach in its
session yesterday by unanimous vote.
OF those who received "R. Is" upon
tie Recommendation Of the coach and
tlc acton o. the board it is int2re3tinG
20 rC;e that bit one was given the
same award LIST year, that nan being
Captain Al Tcbcr. The team this year
has been composed almost wholly Of
green men and, in spite Of this, one Of
the most successful seasons in the
schools history has been enjoyed. The
to- n has enjoyed the rare distinction
Of coming within three points of de-
featirg its dreaded foes from DaVel-
"ort and has also defeated in ono rare
the tri-city champions, tie Moline lads,
who probably comprise the fasto-t
squad that Moline hes ever put forth
and who will represent the district in
the state Tournament Also. in the last
came with Moline they were defeated
by one point less thar vas Davenport
in its second game, so the record C
the locals for this year is perhaps the
hest that has ever been made.

NEAR VERDUM.

authorized to make the following
statement of his experiences and o.
servations:
After Feb. 81, when the German be-
gan preparations for the attack, We
understood a decisive struggle was
about to be engaged. Our group was
then southeast of Haumont wood. A
battery was divided for fianking three
positions, east OF the Haumont wood,
south ;Ed north Of SamogneauX. Two
other batteries were south of hill No.
312. We were sUpporte. by battery
of six 90-millimetre guns.
I'VE naturally replied at oIc2 to the
German attack with a curtain fire to
prevent as far as possible the enemy
infantry from opening path into our
lines. One of our sections even went
opened fire at 700 metres. But the
Germans, despite enormous losses of
men, commenced to overflow on all
sides and invaded these positions. The
section which was trying to retain
them kept shortening its fire as they
advanced, moving down entire rams.
New men replaced the Germans
who died and the section kept firing,
exhausting its ammunition. Although
they had been turned, our artillery
men did not lose tier presence Of
mind. They blew up their guns and
retreated. carrying off a sergeant who
had been wounded.
Artillery Fire Terrific.
"a battery of 90miliimetre guns es-
tablished at Haumont, though reached
by an Internal fire. carried out all in
structions. Shells from tie German
heavy guns rained around this battery.
In less than a minute 13 of them fell
laround otr guns and the battery OF
COS after wiping out many OF the
/ enemy was obliged to cease firing. Al
this moment sergeant major OF bat
ltery of fed artillery. named Pierrard
approached the commander OF the
igroup Of batteries and said: Com
