Swedish Lutherans Agree on
Two North Dakota Districts

The North Dakota district of the
Minnesota conference held it's conven-
tion in this city last week. All the
Swedish Lutheran pastors of the
state were present except one, Rev.
Gulleen, Of Tolley. On Thursday Rev.
Solomonson, president of Northwest
ern college of Fergus Falls, Mimi, was
also present. While we regret the in
clemency of the weather, preventing
many of our people from attending the
sessions, nothing but good can be said
of the meeting. Important business
was transacted and edifying sermons
preached. BY decision Of tue pastors
and delegates present the North Da-
kota district was divided into Two dis
tricts. This change was made on ac-
count Of the great distance some have
to travel in coming to the annual meet
ings. It was also decided by the dis
trict that Rev. E. y Martell, the local
pastor, secure IN assistant. He will
thus be enabled 20 spend at least two
Sundays out of three in this city. Both
these business transactions are pend
ing the decision of the Minnesota con-
ference of the Augustana Synod which
will hold it's meeting in Minneapolis
Feb. 1929. Final action. will then be
taken and it is hoped the recommen-
dations from the district will be fav-
orably acted upon. The visitors were
all very much pleased with the new
church and congratulated the pastor
and congregation upon being able now
to worship in their own beautiful tenn
pie. The convention adjourned last
Thursday evening. A hearty thanks to
all who entertained guests both in
church and in the homes.

Wiliston Has Visions
Of 0puence from Q n Oil

Williston, Jan. 31.-With oil wells
already pouring out their wealth in
southeastern Montana and natural gas
wells supplying Havre and other near.
by Montana cities, while drilling is
in progress at Plentywood, Ante.
lope, Glasgow and many other points
q comparative short distance from
Williston, discussion of the possible
ties Of oil and gas underlying the coal
deposits Of western North Dakota is
again being revived. The first tangi-
BILE evidence that oil is thought to be
present in western NORTH Dakota was
the order of the president, issued a
few days ago withdrawing from entry
considerable amount of land in Bow
man and Slope counties under the pc
troleum reserve act. This Is the first
land ever reserved in this state under
this act.
Williston has ! number Of residents
4 who have given some study Of oil pos
sibilities in this section Of the state,
and who believe that either oil or gas,
or both, will ultimately be found here.
Joseph Wegley believes that natural
gas is available for Williston and in
an interview with a Herald represen.
tative this week, said that he would
willingly share in the expense or max
ing q test. Should natural gas be dis
covered, it would prove a great asset
for the city and the community, while
the discovery Of oil would naturally
mean tremendous advance in land
values in the territory embraced by
the oil fields.

Basis Of Assessment
Fixed by Committee

Bismarck, Jan. 29.-The special com
mittee appointed at the general meet
ing Of county auditors, the tax com.
mission, the county commissioners,
and members Of the state board of
equalization, and city assessors, met
at the Grand Pacific hotel, Wednes-
day evening. All members appointed
were present.
F. E. Burton, auditor of Richland
county and president County Auditors
association.
F. F. Vaughan, auditor of Towner
county.
James A. Brown, auditor Of Rolette
county.
F. E. Packard, chairman North Da.

kota commission.
Carl o. Jorgenson, member Of state
board Of equalization, and state audi.
tor. -aa-
O. E. Lotus, commissioner Walsh
county.
State Auditor Jorgenson was elected
secretary.
The question Of fixing a percentage
Of the actual value to be used for as
sessing was first taken up. During
the discussion it appeared there was a
general feeling that property in North
Dakota was being assessed upon a rs
per cent basis. The tax commission
had sent out such instructions during
a previous year, and were in favor Of
recommending that percentage this
year. There seemed to be no doubt
but that an assessment Of all property
at Is per cent would produce a total
assessment which would produce the
required state revenue.
Mr.. Packard moved that this com
mittee recommend that rs per cent Of
the full and actual value be used in
the assessment Of all property, with
the exception Of moneys and credits.
The motion carried, ali voting aye.
In the matter Of assessment Of
moneys and credits Mr.. Packard said
It was his opinion that II reasonable
assessment be on this class, large

Preparations Must Be Made for
War in Near Future, Says Wilson

Chicago, Jan. 81. - The United
States has made preparation for I'M
mediate war as far as the navy is con-
cerned, although the present naval
force is inadequate in size, President
Wilson declared tonight in an address
before several thousand in the Audi
torium here.
1--WE mean business" he said in
speaking of the preparedness of the
administration program. "We have
given to the present fleet of the United
States an organization such as it has
never had before, am told by Admiral
Fletcher" the president said, "and We
have made preparations for immediate
war so far as the navy is concerned"
The army, the president said, as at
present constituted, "is not large
enough even for the ordinary duties Of
peace"
The president repeated his warn
ing that no time must be lost in
the defenses of the ma
ton. He declared the government
was doing everything it could for pre-
paredness.

was doing everything it could for pre-

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. 31.-President
Wilson, speaking before the largest
audience of the present trip, today de-
clared that the men who say Ameri-
cans will not stand together in time
of trouble have "shot their bolt"
II have not supposed that the men
whose voices seemed to show threat
against us, represented even the peo-
pie they claimed to represent" he
said.
The president spoke to an audience,
many of whom were of foreign birth.
He declared that he knew the men
who came to America loved liberty
and would stand by the ideals of
America.
He appealed to all Americans to
stand by the government in the ma
tional defense plan.
"I want at the outset to remove any
misapprehension in your minds" said
the president. There is no crisis;
nothing new has happened. I came to
Golfer with you on a matter which
we should confer on in any event.
1--WE should see that our house is
set in order. When all the world is
afire the sparks fly everywhere"
America has drawn her blood and
energy out of almost all nations Of
the world" he said. 1--WE know that
our roots and traditions run back into
other soils. We cannot forget our
forebears.
AT the outset of the war it did look
as if there was division of domestic
sentiment which might lead up into
some errors of judgment. l, for one,
believe that that danger is past.'
The crowd applauded. II never
doubted that the danger was exaE
gerated. I know the magic Of Amer
lea. know the impulses which draw
men to our shores. 1 know they come
to be free.
Il know that when the test comes
every mans heart will be first for
America" he declared amid applause.
"The trouble makers have shot their
bolts. They have been loud but inef-
fectual. Their talk costs nothing"
Il pledge you," he continued SOL
emnly, that, God helping, will keep
you out of war"
He went on to say the nation
wanted him to preserve the honor of
the United States. The applause con-
tinued. He told how difficult it was
to do both.
This people is not going to choose
war;" he went on, "but we are dealing
with governments rather than people.
and we do not know what an hour or
a day will bring forth.
II want the people to know some
thing Of military life if the call should
come. That is the reason am urging
on the congress of the United States
that at least part of the people should
be trained.
"As I came along the line of the
railway today was touched to observe
that on every standard where flag
could be raised doated the Stars and
Stripes.
"Those lines of red are lines of blood
nobly and unselfshly shed by men
who loved the liberty Of their fellaw-
men more than their own lives and
fortunes.
God forbid that we should have to
use the blood Of America to freshen
the color of that flag; but, il 1t should
again be necessary to assert the ma
jesty and integrity Of those ancient
and honorable principles, tnat flag will
be glori1ed and purified again"

George A. MintZ, grand secretary of the Independent order of Odd Fellows of Arizona, was appraised by wire late yesterday afternoon, Oy the Odd Eel lows committee of arrangements for the forthcoming session of the Grand Lodge in Bisbee, April 17-20 inclusive, that the board of health had positively prohibited the holding of the session there at this time owing to rigid quarantine that would be maintained for at least two weeks.
 MT. Mintz at once communicated with Grand Master l.. B. Rice, of Mo- renci, who ordered a postponement to May 15 by which time it is hoped the trouble will have passed. Every lodge of the Odd Fellows and Rebe- kahs in the state and officials of the grand bodies were notified by wire of the postponement, in the hope of ap- prising delegates and members of the situation, before they SC t out upon their journey to Bisbee. Some per haps, in the more distant towns were already on the way and will make part of the journey before they find out as some were expected to arrive in Phoenix this morning, en route to Bisbee.
 The Odd Fellows in this valley had chartered a Pullman to serve them as lodging house in Bisbee, having been told that accommodations were scarce and the city crowded. The railway company was immediately asked to cancel the order. so everything now depends upon later news from Bisbee.
 The telegram of information from Bisbee did not indicate the nature of the Bisbee epidemic or whether the quarantine was the order of the state or local officials. It merely stated that the order was positive and dele gates to the convention would not be permitted to enter the city.

last few weeks there has been a
decided change in this attitude.
The recent utterances of Theodore
Roosevelt have been so bitter
against the German side, with
anathemas hurled quick and fast
against the German hyphen, that
German sympathizers are now
looking toward Wilson as more
favorable to them than would be
Roosevelt if named secretary OF
war, and republicans are fearing
that after all Mr. Roosevelt does
not desire to see his former enemy
Hughes elected to the presidency,
but prefers to wait until 1920 and
be elected himself.
