Great Britain to Dispose Of ves-
sells by Auction.
Many Of 200 That Have Outiivod Uoo.
fuiness Hold High Place In
Naval History.

London.-Nearly 200 warships OF
the British navy, most Of which have
.0utltved their usefulness, are to- Be
sold to the highest bidder a. soon ~
they can be cleared Of their guns, etc.
Among the vessels to be disposed Of
are several which have high place
In naval history and around which
shovers an intense sentimental interest.
A somewhat similar step was taken
by the admiralty in 1904, when large
number of obsolete vessels were dis
posed OF. At that time a great hue and
cry was raised, as many persons feared
that the strength OF, the navy would be
seriously Impaired. But, as matter
Of fact, the sale of the ships resulted
In making the navy stronger than ever
and the coming sale Is expected to
have a similar effect.
The removal Of obsolete vessels In
1904 had a two-fold purpose, and In
both respects was justified by the war.
1t set free the personnel needed to
start the nucleus crew system, and
placed out Of commission ships which
did not give an adequate return in
fighting efficiency for the cost Of their
upkeep.
Widespread interest will be aroused
by the revelation of the names Of ships
to be removed from service. Senti-
mental interest in his majestys ships
Of war is strong, amounting almost to
reverence. evoked by such an ancient
monument as Nelson's Victory.
Among the ships now to be dis
posed of are many which have been
brought prominently before the public
eye. Several have flown the flags of
distinguished officers, and not few
have made records in connection with
the war.
More than 100 destroyers, compris-
ing the "A" to "F' classes, are now
classed as noneffective, and 81 Of
them, including 81 for immediate dis
posal, appeared in the list Of April 9.
There will soon, therefore, be no de-
stroyers in the navy launched before
1909. All the torpedo boats, except
the SO turbine-driven boats of the
coastal type built in 10000, are be-
ing cleared off, and 46 are in the list.
Perhaps the most interesting unit of
this group is torpedo boat No. 079,
which in the naval maneuvers was
commanded by King George, then
lieutenant in the navy.

County Auditor c. w. Nelson re-
turned from Bismarck yesterday
where he had been attending q meet
ing Of the state auditors in connection
with the tax commission. Farm lands
are to be boosted said Mr.. Nelson.
Last. year Barnes county farm lands
were valued at $7.65 per acre. This
year they were boosted up to about
.$32 by The county board and now the
Bismarck tax commission is to boost
them up to $43.59 per acre. Last year,
the state tax on farm land was and;
$40 mills. this year it will be and
5-10 mills, which is lower but the
farmers will have to pay on tax six
times bigger valuation so that his
farm taxes. alone will be very much
higher and yet we are told they are
not going to be. How long are they
going to swallow that kind Of piffle.

IT'S UP TO BOARD
Commissioners Have Exclusive
Right to Choose "HOme" Site.
Opinion i'm Controversy Submit
ted by County Attorney.

The board of county commissioners
have the authority to build the new
county home on the present site re-
gardless of any legal proceedings that
may be instituted. according to a writ
ten opinion rendered this afternoon by
Hugh Fisher. county attorney. Fisher
points out that the law provides that
the county home shall be erected as
near the county seat as practicable
and that its location is up to the dis
cretion of the commissioners.
Fis'.er said that in his opinion legal
proceedings instituted by the opp0n-
ents of the commissioners plan would
avail nothing: that there was nothing
in the law now in force debating the
location of the building except the
phrase ''as near the county seat as
practicable" and that if the commits
sioners considered the present location
practica BILE they would have the au-
thority to build it there.
The opinion was written by Fisher
a the request of the commissioners
following the debate at the court
house Monday afternoon between
members of the board and delegates
from several civic organizations of
