 Throughout this division at the present time there seems to be a decided inclination on the part of the engineers to disagree with their superior officers.

Promises ''FirewOrkS" in
Court Hearing

New York, March 2s.-L. A. Var
Patten whose advertising agency ia
involved in wrangle with the Dem
ocratic National Committee over an
advertising deal during the pres
idential campaign last year, prom
ises that "fireworks" will be pro-
duced at the trial of suits filed yes
terday by both sides.
"The Borah Committee Investigate
ing campaign expenditures will be
interested more than a little in this
suit" said Mr.. Van Patten. He add
ed that trial Of the cases would "shed
great light on the reasons why John
w. Davis, Democratic presidential
candidate, and Charles w. Bryan
vice-presidential candidates, suffer
ed such a crushing defeat in the
election last fall"
The Democratic National Commit
tee filed suits to compel Van Pat
ten, Inc. to account for $4,000

tising last fall and to return any
amounts due. Van Patten, Inc.

ASSESSOR TO
CANVASCITY
NEXT MONTH
Y
Every Person Required To
Give List of Property
For Taxation

w. A. Falconer, city assessor, and
his assistants will start out on April
1 on the annual quest for informa-
tion. Every person of legal age and
sound mind is required to list his
property for taxation.
Mr.. Falconcr has issued an appeal
to Bismarck residents to be ready to
give the required information and
give every possible assistance to the
assessors.
Much trouble and delay has been
caused in former years when people
refused to answer doorbells, think
ing the assessor was q canvasser, Mr.
Falconer said. If the assessor calls
and cannot find anyone around the
house he will have to get his infor-
nation elsewhere, which may mean
an unsatisfactory assessment, he de-
clared.
lin this case the assessor leaves a
copy of the assessment. If there are
any corrections to be made, the as
sessment should be taken Immediate
ly to the assessors office where it
will be taken care of, Mr.. Faiconer
said. After the books are sent to
the county auditor and the treasurer
has sent out his tax notices, changes
are difficult.
Everyone is urged to be sure the
assessment is satisfactory before the
assessor leaves the house, thus eli
tinating any possible change and
delay.

LOSS CAUSED
BY PRAIRIE
FIRES SLIGHT
Flames in South Dakota and
y Nebraska Extinguished
BY Volunteers
NO DEATHS REPORTED
Only Small Loss of Stock in
Districts Swept by
Blaze
NO DEATHS REPORTED

Sioux Falls, S. D.. March 2s.-With
prairie fires in western South Dako-
ia and along the South Dakota-Ne-
braska border extinguished, inven-
tory was taken today of the loss
caused by the flames which ragged
for practically two days. Because
the country through which the flame
spread is sparsely settled, property
loss was not as large as at first
expected. Reports of death could
not be verified but several persons
suffered severe burns while fight
ing the blazes.
The fire along the South Dakota
Nebraska border on the Rosebud
Indian reservation was cxtinguished
yesterday after ranchers and Indians
fought the flames for almost two
days. Loss suffered in that vicinity
was chiefly to hay stacks and small
ranch buildings. The blaze in north
ern South Dakota and across the
North Dakota border was checked
Thursday. Several villages were
threatened in that section but timely
arl from townspeople checked the
flames. There was only small loss
Of livestock in both fires.
Selfridge, March 28.-With all
fires in Sioux county abated, sur
veys of damage done in prairie fires
on the Standing Rock reservation
were being made yesterday by bank
ers and county officials and steps
taken to afford the relief thought
needed.
Damage in Sioux county was plac-
ed at 100000 by A. MEG Beede,
states attorney. Fort Yates, while
Charles S. Pulling, of the Selfridge
State bank, thought $4,000 would
cover the loss. Both agreed that
early reports of the extent of the
damage were exagger rated.
Many barns, a few houses and
much livestock were burned, while
thousands of acres of good pasture
land and much stacked hay was con-
sumed in the devastating fire, the
worst in 10 wears. @.
