The quarrel arose out of certain unfulfilled stipulations of the treaty| of peace, known as the treaty of An-| con, concluded in 1883 at the end of | the-war between Chile on one side| and Peru and Bolivia on the other. War was declared by Chile in 1879,! and in a struggle entirely victorious for the aggressive forces, Chile w after four yeurs of hostilities, in} possession of Lima, the southern provinces of Peru, including 'T an@ Arica, and about 100.1 | Pacific littoral formerly belonging to Bolivia, Regions Occupied The regions occupied, | especially the province of Antofagasta, in the old Bolivian territory, and Tarapaca, formerly of Chile, were among the richest of the country in nitrates and guano. American efforts at mediation be- gan early in the war and were kept| up practically uninterruptedly, under the direction of two secretaries of state, Blaine and Frelinghuysen, un- til 1883. Unfortunately these efforts were barren of results in spite of the! fact that both secretarie: cial missions to the try a range an agreement be- tween the belligerents 1 In 1883 plenipotentiaries of the two warring countries met at Ancon and, after ten months of negotiations, concluded a treaty of peace. The main provisions were that | should cede unconditionally to Chile the province of Tarapaca and that| the provinces of Tacna and Arica} should “continue in the possession of Chile, subject to Chilean legislation and authority for a period of ten} years from the date of the ratifica- tion of the treaty of peace.” At the expiration of that term; the treaty further specified, “a plebiscite will decide by popular vote whether the territori of the above mentioned provinces will remain definitely un- der the dominion and sovereignty} of Chile or continue to form a part of Peru.” This treaty was ratified| ini 1884. Negotiations were started in 1892 between the two governments to! reach some agreement as to the con- ditions under which the plebiscite should be held. These continued for 25 yeurs without any settlement of the question. The disputed terri- tory, in the meanwhile, continued in the possession of Chile. Blame for the continued failure of the negotiations was placed by each litigant upon the other, Peru claim- ing in addition that Chile was carry- ing out a campaign of Chilenization in Taena and Aric: In January 1922, seeing that the question was assuming dangerous as-| pects, the United States invited both Chile and Peru to send representa- tives to Washington for a confer- ence in a final attempt to reach a settlement of the dispute by arbitra- tion, Invitation Accepted The invitation was accepted and on July 20, after two months dis-| cussion, the plenipotentiaries signed @ protocol in which they agreed that the difficulties arising out of the un- fulfilled conditions of the treaty of Ancon were to be “submitted to the arbitration of the President of the United States of America” who would “decide them without appeal after. hearing the parties and taking into consideration the arguments and evidence which they may present.” A subsidiary agreement also was; drawn up which set forth more de- finitely the questions to be decided by the president. This stated that “there shall be submitted to arbi- tration the question whether, the Present circumstances, the plebiscite shall or shall not be held.” It went on to say that the arbitrator, were he to decide in favor of a plebiscite, would also have the power to settle the conditions, under which it would be held, Should the arbitrator, how- ever, rule against a plebiscite, then the two parties interested would “dis- the situation created by this de- yn,” invoking the “good offices of the government of the United States” should they again fail to reach/an agreement. | ~ -- Both Chile and Peru, subsequent ms xchange of ratification of one-two documents, filed their js and counter cases in the arbi- tration. h i brief, asked the arbi- ied in aes of a plebis: |that Chile | mercial valu |finally paid him |dug out of his pocket, a neat uring, a trial lations not only between the} Charley admitted he was funny and protested ha hohe sought habitants of Tacna and Arica to de- termine their nationality.

Well, the cast iron pipe had not been or- dered up to that time and I’ believe the records will bear me out in that.” “No one contradicted that —state- ment, so he was asked if there was anything else wrong with the report. He replied, “Yes, we paid Atkinson more than $7,800.00 dollars. We paid him for those p: ary plans besides that 800 bill when pre- sented to us was not itemized as re- quired by law when it wi bmitted to us and acted on by this commis- sion, You will remember also that Atkinson presented a bill for $4,200. for this prelimin work and we 000.00.” Just A Loan Commissioner French claimed that this payment of $2,000 was in the nature of Joan to City Engineer At- kinson to be deducted from his co: mission of five per cent. He a thought that every citizen should be supplied with a copy of the re; but Thompson came back by that every citizen should have a copy of a full and true statement of ac- tions taken by the commission in the matter, and that he saw no use in the commissioner's quarreling about the matter any further. He would not stand for the report in. its pre- sent condition as in his judgment it did not set forth all the facts, but the rest of the commission could and would do as they pleased in the mat- ter. Carries Out Program Thereupon Commissioner French and complete typewritten resolution ap- proving the report of the President and making it the expression of the The city commission. reads as follows: “Whereas, the president of the board of city commissioners pur- suant to the informal discussion of all members of the board of city commissioners at the meet~ ing held on February 24th, 1926, heretofore, on the 5th day of March 1925 submitted a report to the Bismarck Association of Commerce setting forth in detail matters pertaining to the instal- lation, purchase financing, oper- ation and management of the wa- ter works system in aceordance with the request of said associa- tion, and “Whereas, the president of the board of city commissioners has this date filed with the hoard of city commissioners a copy of the above mentioned report, “Now therefore, be it resolv- ed by the board of city commis- sioners of the city of Bismarck, North Dakota, that the action of the president of the board of city commissioners in filing said re- port with the said association of commerce be and it is approved and ratified, and “Be It Further Resolved, that the above mentioned copy of said report be received, accepted, adopted and ‘placed on file with the city auditor this 9th day of March, 1925. t “Be It Further Resolved, that -eopies of said report be furnish- resolution ted film comectan, i to feed on. “lure includ artie, i .

Cam- | | missioner French moved its adoption | and was promptly seconded by! Com-| missioner Larson. Then with great solemnity and dignity each commis- sioner duly voted in the affirmative for the resolution except Commis- er Thompson who registered an mphatic dissent. And, thus the “pig in the poke” was duly and properly signe vealed and delivered as an “Offi report of the city com- mission and as such it was duly and properly filed, interred or interned, whichever it may be in the archives of the city hall, there to rest and remain until future exigencies might require its resurrection as the “of- ficial” and un-impeccable report of the city commission. At this point, Commissioner French, sotto voce or a little louder than a whisper, asked Commis Larson if he had seen the report, a the latter gentleman kindly s that he knew nothing of the report except that portion which had beer read at the meeting. And, Commis- sioner French admitted that he had not known of it until as a member of the board of directors of the Bis- marck Association of Commerce, he} had heard it read at a meeting of} that body. And so the water g r} | | | subsided and rested for its next di play. NORTH DAKOTA FIRE LOSS I$ YET VERY HIGH Plenty of Material Is Supplied For the Flames in This State WHAT RECORD SHOWS New York, ‘ch 10.—It is evident that North Dakota éontinues to sup- ply plenty of material for the flames Any doubt of this_fact removed by the figures of the ate’s fire waste during 1923, just sued by The National Board of ire Underwriters. From its Act- arial Bureau, the center of Amer- an fire loss statistics, the National Board finds that to the grand total for the United States, $535,372,782, Ncrth “Dakota contributed ‘no. less than $2,622, (The national fig- 25 percent for unreport- ed and uninsured losses.) This fire loss compares with des- truction of $1,647,820 in 1918. It thus shows an increase in five years of $974,632. Analysis of ,the elaborate tabula- tion published by the National Board estublishes the fact that, of the twenty so-called originating causes, Furnaces, Boilers and Their 3 chiefly responsible foy s tage. Its share of the dam- age inflicted is was $322,086, Follow- ing “Stoves, Furnaces, Boilers and Pipes” eame “Spontaneous Combusticn,” with $269,204, and “Defective Chimneys und Flues,” to which was” attributed’ $242,168 loss. All three fell within the “Strictly Preventable” or “Partly Prevent- able” classifications, which lends support to the contention: of fire prevention engineers that fully 75 percent of the country’s perennial fire destruction always is clearly avoidable, because to that extent it is due to public habits ‘of carelessness and to ignorance. What It Means : Turned to use, instead of into smoke, such a sum as North Dakota lost in 1923 would have built no fewer than 26 modern, fire-resistive school-houses, at an individual cost of $100,000. Applied to the con- struction of good ‘macadam, roads, to the erection and maintenance of hos- pitals or te any one of a score of. public works, this, amount of money would have serve the two-fold pur- “CASCARETS” 10c IF CONSTIPATED DIZZY, BILIOUS Feel fine!

All of the property destroyed was automatically removed, at least for a time,.from municipal tax rolls, which, of necessity, meant. an. in- creased levy upon other jproperty holders. The heavy cost of: extin- guishing the many individual :fires that resulted in the $2,622,352 -total is one which must be reckoned with, and this expense, too, was borne by the public. Regrettable beyond everything else, however, and completely - overshad- owing the combined financial burden, j a were the loss of life and the injuries from fire, which, in company with the rest of the states, North Dakota had to record. To realize that at least three-fourths of the life and property sacrifice might. have been avoided by the exercise of care and knowledge, und not to feel strongly the urgency of public instruction in the prevention of fire, is scarcely possible for anyone who has at-heart his own best interests and those of his native state. FRANCHISE FOR 25 YEARS GIVEN TO HUGHES CO. (Continued from page one) then unanimously adopted. . Shortly, thereafter, Attorney Cox 6n behalf of the Hughes Company submitted and filed with the city commission and the city auditor a full and proper av- ceptance of the terms of the fran- chise and ordinance by the Hughes Electric Company. This action’ was rendered necessary under the’terms | of the ordinance which called for its acceptance by the franchise- holder, within 10 days after its pass- age and adoption by the city com- mission: This closes the matter of the franchise and as it was pass as an-emergency measure,’ it subject to a referendum.
