LOSES RANCH HOME AS ~*-
RESULT OF TERRIFIC
GASOLINE EXPLOSION

The ranch home of C.. c. Sperber
near, Killdeer; was completely de-
stroyed Monday evening by fire, in
volving loss Of approximately $4,000
with no insurance. ia
About 6:30 in the evening Mr..
Sperber was filling a gasoline lamp
and in some manner the spray hit the
stove ten feet distant, causing an ex-
plosion. The building was immedi-
ately enveloped in flames. Mrs.
.Sperber's arms were badly burned to
the elbows, rendering her absolutely
helpless and unable to assist in saw
ing any of the household furniture.
Mr.. Sperber succeeded in carrying the
two children, who were i'll with the
grip, to the door and were then taken
to the granary nearby. He also man
aged to save two armfuls of bed
clothes.
The loss amounts to $4,000 which
includes new $3.50 piano, all the
household furniture and number of
invaluable personal articles. No in
surance was carried.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sperber and children
are now making their home with Rev.
and Mrs. C. C. Clausen, who are
neighbors. Plans for new home are
now underway and will be erected as
soon as possible.

MANNING BOOSTERS
BACKING new ROAD

Killdeer Herald: Considerable en-
thusiasm is being shown over the
prospects of farmers railroad from
Freda on the Milwaukee to Mandan,
a distance of 36 miles and from Man.
dan to Center, Hanover and Mann
ing. But from investigation we find
that the proposition amounts to more
than enthusiasm. The people along
this route, really mean business. At
a meeting held at Manning last week
over $4,000 was subscribed and at
another meeting held at Emerson last
Saturday another large amount sum
was subscribed. Eighty farmers at
st. Anthony subscribed 100000. It is
impossible to state how much money
has been raised as the sum is being
increased each day.
The approximate cost for complet-
ing the road has been estimated at
about two million dollars, which will
include rolling stock, depots, round
houses, etc. AS soon as 40 per cent
of the amount required is subscribed
60 cents on the dollar can easily be
borrowed.
This road will not hurt the North
line to any great extent. It will
open up large territory and conse-
quently bring more settlers and in
crease the value of the land.

TWIN BEDS" SHOWN
ON TUESDAY NEXT

The next road attraction to be
seen at the Dickinson opera house is
the international comedy success
Irwin Beds," which will be shown
Tuesday evening, April 3rd. This
funniest of all plays comes under the
direction of A. S. Stern and Com
pany, the we'll known producers, and
has record which no other play in
the history of the theatre has ever
enjoyed. The comedy ran for one
solid year in New York, played for
six months in Australia and is now
in it's second year in London. Produc-
tions are also scheduled for Paris,
Rome, Petrograd, Madrid, Tokia,
South America and South Africa.
"Twin Beds" is built for laughing pur-
poses only and is full of rip roaring,
wholesome comedy. You might as
we'll see it and you'll be glad you went
for above everything is the atmos-
phere of cleanliness in the production.
"Fair and Warmer" was funny, but
you will enjoy "Twin Beds" more.

Board of Regents
Makes Choice of
NeU Normal Site

The North Dakota Board of Reg
ents has made selection of the Dick
inson normal school site, making first
choice of the j. C. Young tract west
of Eighth Avenue West, and north
of Second Street North. This in
cludes the high knoll Immediately
west of the city limits, now being
used as portion of the golf links.
The new Dickinson Town and Country
Club grounds do not include this
tract, however, the south boundary
passing near the club house, near the
Fifth Street North line.
The members of the board in max
ing this selection stated that it was
one Of the finest locations for a
normal school that they had ever
seen. A splendid view of the sur
rounding country and the city to the
east can be obtained from the crest
of the rise, and when the buildings
are erected they will be in plain
view from all parts of the city as
we'll as from the Northern Pacific
railway.
The Frye-Lillibridge tract to the
northeast Of the city was named as
second choice by the regents, and the
Mckinley tract to the east third
choice. These will not be considered,
however, except in the event that
satisfactory arrangements cannot be
made for the purchase of the Young
tract.

Big GAIN CERTAIN
IN THE ASSESSABLE
PROPERTY OF STATE

Between 20 and 80 millions in the
volume of assessable property will be
added to the tax rolls in North Da-
kota by the new classification en-
bodied in Senate Bill 40, and which
the tax commission advises assessors
will be made Immediately effective, al
though the bill does not become opera
tive until after this years levies are
made.
The new classification lists in class
l, to be assessed at thirty per cent of
the actual value, all land, town and
city lots, railroad property, telegraph
and express, and bank stock. This is
an increase of twenty per cent in the
valuation of this class of property,
heretofore assessed at but rs pr cent
of the actual value. The total valua-
tion of property in this class for 1916
was $3.50, ,483, 1902, and twenty per
cent increase, theoretically, will make
the aggregate for 1917 $312, 1862,
an increase of $52,O96,66O.
| Class 2, including livestock, agricul-
tural implements, merchandise, public
utilities, improvements on town and
city lots, etc., will be assessed at 20
per cent, as against rs per cent last
year, decrease Of 20 per cent, which
amounts to little, comparatively, as the
aggregate of all property of this class
last year was but $71,971, ,773. The
reduction will be $14,394,354.
Class 8, including household goods,
improvements and structures on
farms, wearing apparel, stock other
than in banks, bonds, moneys and
credits not otherwise assessable under
a mill or fiat rate law, will be as
sessed at five per cent Of it's actual
value, a decrease of eighty per cent,
as compared with 1916. Last year
all property Of this description was
valued at $19,682,359, and the drop
will be approximately $15,745,887.
Against fiat increast in class No.
of $52,096,660, there will be record
ed, therefore, a fiat decrease Of
$50, ,140,241, leaving net gain in
the assessed valuation of the state of
approximately $22,000,000, provided,
of course, that assessors may be de-
pended upon to boost the assessed
valuation Of all property in class one
20 per cent.
The tax commission expects asses
sors to do this, and has so instruct
ed them. The result of this first ex-
|periment under the new classification,
which is another step toward single
tax, in which all revenues will come
direct from the land and improve
ments will be entirely exempt, will be
awaited with much interest.

STARTING IN HORSES

When the soft horse is started at
heavy work the shoulders should be
given a good deal of care. The horse
will need frequent breathing spells
and at these times lift the collar so
as to give the shoulder a chance to
cool and to dry. When it becomes
moist from sweat, it will become sore
much quicker than if dry. The collar
should be kept smooth, if any incrus-
tations form ON it, scrape them off.
Care should be used in making sure
that the horse has the collar that is
fitted to it's shoulders. A misft collar
is apt to lead to shoulder trouble.
When starting the horses at hard
work, watch its shoulders and neck
too, carefully.

Eek STEIN MURDER
REPORT FALSEHOOD

A couple of weeks ago there was
published in the Dickinson Press an
article which indicated that there
seemed to be some doubt as to
whether or not Carl Eckstein, Grassy
Butte homesteader, had committed
suicide or had been murdered. We
find, however, after a thorough in
vestigation that there was absolutely
nothing to support the murder theory,
which was undoubtedly sent as a
report to the newspapers by some
fellow seeking notoriety. All of the
officers who investigated the case
are unanimous in their verdict that
Eckstein came to his death by
suicide.

J. E. Williams came in to New Eng
