Special School Election
To Bond District Soon
Special Election for Voting Bonds to
Take up Outstanding Warrants Of
TT. Yates School District

At an adjourned meeting of the
school board of Fort Yates district,
held last week it was decided to call
a special election for the purpose Of
taking up the outstanding warrants
of the school district. The election
will be called as soon as possible
after the last of the new school
houses contracted for this year is
completed and warrant issued for
same.
AT the annual meeting in July
the clerks and treasurer's records
showed that the outstanding indebt-
edness of the district was little
over $4,000. Since then three new
school houses have been built, and
equipped, which will make the to-
tai outstanding warrants of the dis
itrict after same has been paid for
between SIS, 600 and $4,000. These
warrants draw six per cent interest,
and unless retired by bonds tax
will have to- be levied next year to
pay them off.
If bonds are voted they can be is-
sued for period of 20 years and
sold to the state. These bonds will
only draw four per cent interest,
which will not only be a material
saving but also lessen the burden on
the few taxpayers now within the
district. If bonds are issued new
people coming in during the next 20
years, who will derive the benefit
from the schools established, will
also help pay their share Of the in
terest and sinking fund established
to retire the bonds. The valuation
Of the district, which includes 12
townships, is 1929, 9,675 90.
The petition Of F. G. Turner apd
others for a new school house in
Township 1892, was laid over for
the reason that>the season is too far
to let contract for a new
school at this time. It would take
30 days to advertise for bids which
would make it nearly the middle OF
before work Of construc-
tion could beeFundertaken. There
are Is children of schoolsage in this
and the board decided
to employ teacher if the patrons
would secure a suitable place for
holding school. The board will also
pay reasonable rent and furnish
fuel for such suitable quarters.
The new school house in Town
ship 13O-S2, near CHADWICK, Tor
which j. w. Farmer has the con-
sract, is nearly finished, and it is
expected that school will open the
|irst Monday in December, if not
sooner. S. O. Smith, who has
homestead in that locality, will be
The teacher.
The school board Of Fort Yates
district is composed Of G. w. Hok-
anson, president; Martin Swift and
J. NJ. Carignan, directors. They
ire all experienced, successful men

CICOTTE IS BEATEN
 BY YANkS AT LAST
Explained by Delegate to Allies
 We'll Once too Often

New York, Aug. 23-The seal of the Book of Eddie Cicotte's knuckle ball Wizardry was broken by the Yankees at the Polo Grounds yester- day, and Eddie was pounded right out of the game in the fourth inning. The White Sox picked up run after run throughout the game, but when the ninth inning closed the Tanks were in the lead by a score of to G. Five times this season CicOtte faced the Yankees and beat them. The sixth time was the case of a pitcher going to the Yankee well once too often.
 The Tanks have taken a big jump in the world and yesterdays hurdle has landed them in third place, right in the thick of the flag fight. once more Considering the trials and tribulations through which Wild Bill Donovan and his lads have been squeezed, the club is going great guns and pennant hope again runs high.
 The insertion of Charley Mullen at second base has brought about a wonderful change. Mullen is not only skipping the ball scandalously, but yesterday in the ninth inning he made two catches which brought the crowd right up on it's collective toes. Mur- phy, a pinch-hitter, whacked a bullet liner at him and Charles gathered it in smilingly. Then Memo Liebold, the tiniest player in the game, hoisted a sure enough hit back of second. Mullen raced back and nabbed the ball with his bare hand. The score:

 The Mexican commissioners have been instructed to give preferential consideration in the conferences to the question of the early withdrawal of the American forces. When it became known to President Wilson that this had been done inquiries were made to ascertain whether the de factO gov ernment would assent to the proposal in one of Secretary Lansing's recent notes for broadening the scope of the commission so as to embrace mat ters other than the questions of a withdrawal of the American forces and an arrangement for joint protec- tiOn of the border against future raids.

men to answer the cali, which was re-

mated probably from a defective fiue,
had doubtless burned for some time be-
fore the flames burst thru the roof. The
blaze was first discovered by w. b.
Thompson, dairynan, who was deliver
ing milk at the Jackson home. Short
hardedness at the fire made it possible
only for one stream to be used, and
the upper part of the house was COM

fire succeeded in getting out most of
the household effects down stairs Mr..
Jackson estimates his loss at $500, and
