ceived, no matter from: what source it
comes. There has been an aching void
ever since the law went into effect, and the
void is getting bigger and aching more as
the months roll by with no prospects of
making good the ever increasing defcien-
oy. The city officeholders are perhaps
more deeply interested in the replenish-
ment Of the treasury than any one else, as
their salaries have been chopped down to
an alarming extent in order to conform
with the now invisible surplus, Ed Barrett,
the city clerk, who is serving his sixth con-
secutive. term, each time elected on salary
of $75 per month, registers big kick.

know who could live on salary like that
in this wild western borough. met him
on the street the other night with his violin
and mandolin tucked under either arm
and hunted expression on his face. He
explained that he had to do it at last
part with his dearly loved instruments.
He was on his way to pawnbroker's where
he soaked the instruments for money with
which appease the demands of his landlady.
The city treasurer is another mortal in hard
luck at present, but as he has other busi-
ness to claim his attention the calamity
does not strike him with snch force. His
salary has been placed at the munificent
sum of $40 year. Think of it, the watch
dog of the treasury in the capital city of
North Dakota receiving $40 year for his
faithfulness. But Burnsman wisely turned
over the funds to the Capital National bank,
where the city business is now transacted
by the bank people. Marsh, the only po-
liceman in town, served for the modest
sum of $40 month, but the council found
that functionary too expensive when re-
trenchmeat was the order of the hour, and
dispensed. with his, services altogether.
Bismarcksis without police protection now.
All this is attributed to the prohibition
wave that swept over the country two years
or more ago. It is dismal failure in
North Dakota. There are two or three sa-
loonkeepers here who declare that the mills
of the gods may grind still finer than ever,
butswill never grind out the legal talent to
convict them. They claim~to have the
"dead wood" on somebody, and it begins

The Emmons County Fire.


The Williamsport Record last week gives
the following particulars regarding the
recent prairie fire in that vicinity: A few
additional losses in the north, half of the
county must be reported this week. In
the Wiliamsport neighborhood N. j.
Shield lost 200 bushels of wheat and s acres
of oats and 20 tons of hay. The, total loss
in the northern half is estimated at "a 500.
It is customary for residents to speak of
the north half and the south half of En-
mons county, Beaver creek being the dlyid-
ing line. 1t was in the part south of the
creek that the fire fiend ragged most fiercely
and WHIPPED out most property. During
the passage of the fire through that section
it was driven by fierce wind, which at
times took the rotary motion of tornado
or strong whirlwind. Eureka, in South
Dakota, is the principal market town of
southern Emmons, and great deal of farm
machinery had been purchased there and
brought into the south half this season.
In some cases almost new implements were
destroyed. In one instance settler had
returned from Enreka the day, before the
fire with new wagon, and had loaded it
with wheat for market. Wagon, grain and
pretty nearly everything else he owned
were burned. The fire in the. south half
jumped 6re-breaks in many instances, and
eye-witnesses state that houses, barns and
stacks were on fire while the. grass was
unburned hundred yards away.
Thursday morning at O'Clock change
in the directeon of the wind drove the fire
into the cattle herd of f,John Pratt, fifteen
miles east of Winona. Tho. frightened
auimals ran with the wind until 42 out of
SO fell dead. Mr.. Pratt saved. his life by
getting into a small stream and throwing
water over himself and into his face until
the flames passed. In that neighborhood
Jos. Bollinger lost eight head Of, cattle and
B. G. WAGNER bull. E. D. Wescott lost
ten ton of hay and between 200 and 500
bushels of fax.
But the greatest havoc was committed
in the Holland settlement, where some
families of honest, hard-working settlers,
rejoicing that bountiful crop had been
harvested, were left in an hour with uoth-
ing but the bare land and the. clothes on
their persons.

A visit among the business firms at Bis
marck, the past week, revealed decided
improvement in all branches of trade and
more cheerful, hopeful spirit displayed
by all classes of dealers; and especially
was this the case with. the Gull River Lun-
ber Company, of which Mr.. Isaac Hooper,
esq, is agent. This firm has always main
tained steadfast confidence in the supe-
riority and ultimate success of the Mis-.
souri, Slope both as an agricultural and
stock raising country, and as an evidence
of their faith in the region surrounding
them, they have recently stocked up their
yards in Bismarck with immense quanti-
ties of lumber of every grade. They now
carry larger supply than can be found
in any lumber yard in the northwest, which
they are selling to farmers at greatly re-
duced rates. Our friends in Mclean coun-
ty who contemplate purchasing lumber,
should not fail to call upon Mr.. Hooper
when they visit the capital city. They
will find Mr.. Hooper courteous gentle
man, and they will also find that he will
give them prices that will defy competition.

er Mill company, for whom Samuel Fair
man is buying wheat in Washburn, prom
ised to pay the farmer for his wheat in
Washburn within 10 cents bushel of the
price paid in Bismarck. But they have
not done so. When the price was 78 cents
in Bismarck the farmer here got only 63c,
difference of Is cents. consider this a
rank steal. would advise my farming
neighbors to hold their wheat, if they can,
and haul it to Bismarck and sell it to some
other parties beside the mill company.
But would like to ask you, Mr.. Editor,
why MIR. Turner does not keep his word
We had better haul our wheat to Minot
than be swindled in this way.
Yours, &C., FARMER.
The Leader will suggest that Farmer
write and ask Mr.. Turner the question put
to us. We know nothing about it.
