LUMBER REPORT SHOWS
PROMISING YEAR AHEAD
American Lumberman Declares
That Outlook for Year Is
Now Very Promising

The year opens with a firm lumber
market and every evidence of a rap
idly increasing demand with supplies
in manufacturers hands not overly
large. Plans are being laid and carried
out on every side which will lead to
an increase in production but this
increase will not affect the market
for several months.
The most active division of the lum-
Der market, according to che Ameri-
can Lumberman, is the Douglas fir
section. Last summer when the lunl-
ber market was comparatively dull
fir producers curtailed logging opera
tions and very largely sawed up the
logs on hand and did not replace them
with others. As a result, logging
camps operated by the companies
themselves and those operated by in
dependent loggers, who sell logs in
the open market, were severely cur
tailed. When the market improved
and it became, evident that logging
should be resumed, unexpected storms
greatly complicated matters and made
it extremely difficult to produc logs.
Thus, at present, the fir manufac-
turers are facing very scanty supply
Of logs and, in fact, many of the mills
have not sufficient amount on hand
to fill orders they have already ac-
cepted. Naturally, therefore, log
prices have mounted and the lumber
market shows the same tendency.
Manufacturers have sought to cover

FIGHT FOR CONTROL OF
STOCK YARDS CONTINUES
(Rv Tinted PreSS)

St. Paul, Jan. 7.-Federal control
of the stockyards supercedes state
control and the Minnesota Railroad
and Warehouse Commission must re-
linquish control at South st. Paul.
This is the opinion of B. Hainer, at
torney for the Packers and Stock
Yards Administration of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
This was made public today.
r. "The state law is in direct conflict
with the federal law" Hainer de-
clared. The opinion was sent to N. =.
Rogers, chairman of the South st:
Paul Livestock Exchange. Members of
the, state railroad and warehouse COM
mission, traders and representatives
of farmers cooperative organiza-
tions are fighting to retain state con-
troll of the stockyards,
O. P. jacobson, chairman, said he
would carry the fight to the supreme
court.

BONUS REVIEW BOARD
STILL HEARS CLAIMS
Col. Mollison Announces That
New Ruling Effects Several
in Beltrami County

St, Paul, Jan. 7.--Scveral residents
of Beltrami county who have not a.
vet had their state bonus for service
in the World war allowed will be in
tcrested in learning that Col. Molll-
son, in charge Of the state bonuT
board of review is announcing Ia
vorabc decisions in large number
of delayed claims.
"You can say" the colonel said,
"that the bonus board of review is
leaving no stone unturned to see that
the spirit of the law prevails and the
spirit as we understand it is that it
was intended that ali Minnesota men
who served in the war should get
Their bonus.
"This board, which officially ends
| it's duties March / (but it will take
until July to complete all the work)
was created so that we might go care
fully into the merit Of each case. This
the bonus board did not have time
| to do.
"Only today we ran into the case
of young man from Baudctte who
hasn't lived regularly in Minnesota
since 1909. He has been doing rail-
road work much Of the time and
whenever he had no other place to
20, he came back to Minnesota. We
declared him d resident and he will
get his bonus.
'Tt is impossible to give out names
but probably ~ or IS Bcltrami coun-
ty boys will be effected By our ruling,
which is final"

Britain's Decision Will Make
Prompt Ratifications of
Treaty Possible
JAPAN ALSO FAVORS
EXCLUDING MAINLAND
Balfour Is Expected to Make
Known Britain's Official
Announcement Soon
(By United 'Press)

Washington, JAM 7 (By Herbert
Walker) Great Britain will accept
an American senate reservation on
the four-power Pacific treaty to en-
clude the home land of. Japan from
the protective scope Of the pact, it
was learned today. The decision on
the part of Britain will make possible
prompt notifications Of the treaty.
Great Britain's action, which is
most significant because of the Brit
'ish reservation for the placing on the
treaty of the Interpretation that it
includes the main island of Japan,
assures that none of the ,signatory
powers would object to the senate
reservations to meet virtually the
only vital objection raised in the SEN
ate to the new pact.
Japan has already informally ex-
changed negotiations with the United
States. Negotiations between Secre-
tary Hughes and Ambassador Shide-
hara have excluded Japan proper.
This Interpretation aroused almost as
much objection, in Japan as in the
senate.
The United States, of course, is
willing to accept the new interpreta-
tions and France is said not to be con-
cerned either way. 1t is probable that
Arthur Balfour, head of the British
delegation, soon will make an official
announcement of his country's
changed position,

HOLDS COUNTY CAN NOT
CONTRACT FOR COLLECTION
(By United PresS)

Watford City, N. d., Jan. T.
County commissioners cannot con-
tract with sheriff for the collection
of taxes. This is the opinion of George

ney of Mckenzie county, who holds
such a contract. made by Mckenzie
county is void.
The opinion is based on the fact
that the sherif's compensation now Is
straight salary, the fee system hay
ing been abolished, and points to u
state supreme court decision holding
collection of taxes part of the sher-
ifs duty. The Mckenzie sheriff was
to collect on rs per cent basis.

First Half of First District
Game for Bemidji Finds
Score ID to Ia i,
LOCALS UNABLE TO HOLD
VISITORS IN LAST HALF
Bemidji Shows Improvement
Over Previous Games; Neu-
mann Shows Up Well

Bemidii high school lost out FRI
day night in the first district basket.
ball game of the season by a score OF
81 to II after the Bemidji team had
tied the score IA to IA at the end oil
the first half. The locals showed up
much better than during any pre-
vious game of the season, however,
and it was only through Crosby-lron-
TOMS best efforts that the game was
taken from Benlidji. The visitors pos
sess team which bids fair to make
a sensational dash for the district
title, since the squad is composed of
veterans who are perfectly at nome
on the basketball floor.
Bemidji's team work showed im-
provement over the Grand Forks
game, but the last half of the game
seemed to bring a lack of confidence
on the part of the locals and the pass
ing during the last part of the game
was poorly executed. Bemidji's Gag
erness to win and Crosby-lronton'h
desire to maintain comfortable lead
made frst-class football game out
of the last few minutes of play.
Bcmidji started the scoring in the
first few seconds of play. The visitors
Immediately Followed up Bemidji's
first field basket with one of their
own. Bemidji then scored again, and
Crosby likewise Interest was at top
notch as the score see-sawed until
the close Of the half found the score
a tie.
In the second half, Bemidji again
started the scoring with field bas-
llct, holding two-point lead for
several MINUTES. Crosby then held the
Bemidji team scoreless for short
period while that team piled up lead
From then on the scoring was fairly
divided but Bemidji was unable to
make up for the lead which Crosby
had gained. Seven points was all that
Bemidji could make in this period,
while the visitors piled up II points,
three more than they did in the first
half.
Ncumann led the scoring for Be-
midi with five field baskets. Davis
came a close second with three field
baskets and a free throw. Henry
scored two field baskets. completing
Bemidji's scoring. Bcmidji scored one
out of seven free throws.
Young and Stark, forwards, led the
scoring for the visitors. Young net.
ting four field baskets and two free
throws, and Stark, the scrappy ''littlc
kid" netting five field baskets. N.Y.
man, center, scored four field baskets
and one free throw for the visitors,
and Burud scored one field basket.
Crosby made good on three out of
ten free throws.
Hanson Of Fosston, former North
Dakota agricultural college basket
ball player, officiated the game and
his work met with general approval.
The Juvenile band, under the direc-
ton of G. O. Riggs, gave a splendid
program before the game and be-
tween the halves.
