TAX PROBLEMS
~. DISCUSSED AT
MEETING TODAY

H. H. Steele, of Bismarck, member
of the state tax commission, is in the
city today and this morning conferred
with W. H.. Kelsey. Louis Kleven, j.
D. Turner, A. Veitch, ]. F. Smith and
w. H. Bird, members of the city tax
commission.
1t appears that recent legislation
enacted in Bismarck has made some
new adjustments, and Mr.. Steele said
today that he came to Grand Forks
to hear the opinions of men who had
studied the taxation problems from
various angles.
The new law apparently makes a
distinction as to valuation Of struc-
lures in cities and rural districts, and
it is the desire of the tax commission
to gather information which throws
light upon the best methods by which
the changes indicated in the law MAJ
be accomplished.
The meeting today was held in the
city ~treasurer's office. Mr.. Steele will
visit other counties in an effort to
gather as much information as posi-
bile

SKI DANCE !
BEGINS AT 9
Ball will be Given this Even
ing Under Norwegian
Club Auspices.

The dance with which the ski tour
nament festivities held in this city UNI
der the auspices of the Norwegian
club will wind up will begin promptly
at 8 o'clock this evening in the Elks'
club rooms on Fourth street.
The proceeds of the affair will be
donated to the company funds of the
machine gun company and Company
Nj.
The committee points out that al
though the affair this evening is. in a
certain sense. a ski dance, it is not
necessary that the dancers bring their
skis along. 1t appears that the hall
offers no opportunity for dancing on
skis.
But. otherwise, there will be plen-
ty of dancing-modern dances as we'll
as the good ~old-fashioned dances
which are dear to the hearts of every
devotee of the art of terpsichore.
y number Of the contestants in the
ski tournament last Sunday will be
present at the dance. and. from all
appearances. it promises to be one of
the most attractive and interesting So
cial functions of the pre-Lent season.

an interview, Mr.. Kitcher said that
it was by no mere accident he had
chosen a part of the great west as
the subject of his lecture. for, he
frankly confessed, "I am deeply in
love with the west"
Mr.. kitchell has recently COM
pleted a o of New, York, Philadel-
phia, Norfolk. Washington, the New
England states and came here direct
from st. Louis, Mo. =.
Fascination of Travel.
at is fascinating and interesting to
travel and to tell people of your OBJ
times it is a wee bit tiresome. 1 will
say, however, that when I come to a
live and alert city like Grand Forks,
with its wide awake business men, 1
forget the occasional fatigue of long
trips" r
The interview drifted from east to
west-and from west to east. -s
II am an easterner." Mr.. Kitchell
said, born n raised in Cincinnati,
and I have lived in several other east
ern cities a great deal of my life, but
II must confess that now when 1
visited the east again l was simply
%ycarning to go back west.
My home is in the state of Wash
ington, n since l settled there 1
have never yearned to go way down

other parts of h northwest, and
even Burton Holmes, who had seen
Mr.: Kitchelrs pictures, has pro-
nounced them very unusual and eN-
~ceptionally striking in beauty and
realistic effect. f7
1--WE have about three thousand
feet of motion pictures" Mr.. Kitchell
said, but the views are also pre-
scented on s~tereopticon slides. During
the travelogue, the slides alternate
with the motion pictures. and l have
found that this is no ineffective way
OF holding the attention of the audi

have to say interpreting the pictures,
l think they speak %eloquently enough
in themselves to impress even the
most callous and blase spectator"
