Tho announcement declared that
the bandits evidently have gained in

manded not only the withdrawal OF

all OF Shantung.
Granting OF such demands would
leave the outlaws masters OF the

ALASKA

Alaska said Herbert Hoover, speaking at Anchor
age in the territory will day develop into four
five great states. And he added, wisely, that this
must come by steady accreton of people step by step,
who come here to obtain better livelihood and
better standard of living" The secretary went to
pledge his aid to the kind of Alaskan development
that will bring permanent population home-building
men of family, rather than floating labor.
He is altogether right. Alaska it may hardly be
questioned, offers such and women much if not
more than did West half century ago.
Only its comparative inaccessibty holds it back-an
naccessbility which handicaps the home-seeker and
which simplfies the operations of the great corpora
ton.
Alaska needs them both, for the terrtory's devel-
opment will be wastefully slow unless capital is
couraged to interest itself by the most liberal policies
consistent with the public interest But the important
thing is population, and Alaska hope to get that
only when the American people have awakened to the
promise of this land of the last frontier The fact of
the matter that the Government of the United States
has not yet told the people of the United States what
Alaska holds for them.

Protected Birds
Deplete Goldfish

New Bedford, Mass, Nov. 49,
Goldfish that turn green and mar
auding birds, to shoot which is risky,
have perplexed cemetery officials in
this city. Two ponds, one in Rural
Cemetery and the other in Oak Grove
Cemetery, have been used as breed
ing places for aPldfish. Recently
the school of fish in the former
pond was sadly depleted and investi-
cation showed the cause to be a
bird that conducted raids nightly.
Summary execution was decided up
on and carried out. When the gull
ty birds body was examined it was
found to be night heron, a bird
protected by law, and the execution
ers learned that in protecting the
fish they had laid themselves open
| to prosecution.
Preparations were being made to
remove the 1875 goldfish from the
Oak Grove Cemetery pond Ito a
greenhouse fountain for the winter
when it was discovered that some ar.
tificial flowers used in the decora-
ton Of graves had been blown into
the water The dyestuff in the
! flowers had poisoned the fish. Sc
/ the unfortunate cyprinoids, which
were born gold, died green.

SET FOR HERE
NEXT FRIDAY
Secretary Polk of WillistOn
Announces Decision Over

EXPECT A BIG CROWD

The stae-rfigh school football
championship will be settled in BIS
marck,
Secretary Harry Polk of Williston,
of the state athletic council. an
nounced over the long distance tele-
uhonc today that it had been definite
lv decided that the Minot and Fargo
high school teams would play in BIS
marck on Friday afternoon.
Bismarck, Mandan and Grand
Forks had been considered as places
for the game, and Fargo was anxious
to get Z.
Bismarck was chosen as the place
for the game both because it was
logical from the standpoint of trans
portation to neutral field and be
cause it is expected that great
crowd will see Ine game here. The
North Dakota Education association
will bring over 1000 teachers here
and many are expected to see the
game.
Coach Edgar Houser of Bismarck
high school. who said today that the
game had definitely been awarded TO
Bismarck for Friday, has offered the
assistance OF the local management
in making preparations for the game.
Secretary Folk will come to Bismarck
Wednesday to arrange the contest.
1t is expected that 5000 people will
see the game.
Coach Houser, who officiated in the
Minot-G Grafton game, said today that
Minot has a fine team-an exception
ally heavy line and fast backfield
and ought to give Fargo a hard bat
tie. The Minot teams attack lacks
variation and the forward pass work
against Grafton was disappointing
but the team showed lots of stamina
The work team will be in fine shape
for the game.

quarter in Golden Wealth Township.
North Dakota, received the next
highest bid of $4,000. The two tracts
in North Dakota were purchased by
John Porter of Selfridge, and Carl
Borge Of Breien.
These monthly land sales are gain
ing in popularity. The land is being
sold where there is an actual de-
mand forit. No land is being forced
on to the market. With from seven
to nine sales each month, the actEal
amount sold in years. time will be
almost as large as it was in the
