CHINESE BUY TOMBSTONES
AND THEN GIVE THEM BACK

Boston, Dec. A Boston build
er of monuments who for many years
has been favored almost exclusively
with the tombstone work of the New
England Chinese has observed two
striking things about John Chinaman
in Boston.
"The first, Harry P. Smith said,
''is that in all our experience we have
never known of a Chinaman to die
in such circumstances that the city
was called upon to pay his burial ex-
penses.
And the second is that Chinese
deaths invariably occur in the winter.
During the sumer months we have
seldom If ever, been called upon to
produce tombstone for one of them.
Another singular fact connected
with Chinese funerals In America is
that ten years after the funeral the
casket is disinterred and the body
shipped to China. Every Chinaman
finally is buried in the land of his an
cestors.
Usually" says Mr.. Smith, "the
tombstone comes back to us after this
disinterment:"
One of the most interesting sights
in Greater Boston is the Chinese sec
ton of Mount Hope Cemetery, in the
Mattapan district of Dorchester. Here
the bodies of more than 500 Chinese
from all parts of New England have
been temporarily laid to rest.

LONE DEMOCRAT
In JERSEY HOUSE

One of the most tremendous uphea-
walls in any state has taken place in
the last few years in New Jersey.
President Wilson used that state as
his experiment ground when he was
governor. At one time the people
were wild for him, but something has
changed them. Out of the total of
so members in the assembly, the
Democrats this time managed to elect
Just one. This was Harry Runyon,
of Belyidere. He will represent in
himself the entire minority and win
be entitled to all the committee seats,
appointments, perquisites etc. as such.
But he will have one consolation, and
that will be that he can hold a party
caucus wherever he happens to be,
and there will be no factional splits
or lack of harmony. Two women
and a negro were among the SO Re-
publicans elected.

OFFER TO SELL
WATER COMPANY
PLAN T is MADE
Company Proposes That the
Method of Sale Provided in
City Charter be Used

The Bismarck Water Supply COM
pany today offered to sell its plant 70
the city of Bismarck.
In an order drawn up this publish
ed by the attorneys for the company,
Miller, Zuger and Tillotson. the COM
pany proposes to have price named
on the plant by board OF arbitra-
ton.
, 1t says that litigation up to date
over the water plant has cost $780,
900, still is in the process Of litiga-
ton and soon "another $4,000 will
have been added" =
1T is the opinion of the water COM
pany that in the end both the wa
ter company and the people will be
losers if this policy of long drawn
out, expensive litigation is to be con-
tinued," says the company announce
ment.
1t says that the proposed method
Of sale is provided in the water COM
pany s~charter from the city, namely,
that the city name one arbitrator, the
company one and thel two select a
third. If the two cannot agree on l
third the United States district court
judge shall name him.
The company says that it will sell
the plant at the price fixed by the
board, and will accept 7percent bonds
of the city for the purchase price.
If, at the end of one year, the city
can get cheaper money, it may re-
deem the bonds at face value, it adds
The. water water company offers to
pay half Of the cost of litigation.
1t is considered probable, that the
city commission will DISCUSS the of
fer of the water company at the reg
ular meeting on Monday night.

other towns, particularly Dunn Center
and Killdeer.
The county seat fight warmed up
last May when those wanting removal
Of the county seat filed petitions with
the commissioners to have the ques~

asking removal to killdeer, Dunn Cen

claimed that no petition contained
