The list OF the injured has grown little

The loss is complete wherever the fire took
good hold. The underwriters acknowledge
that they will get practically no salvage. The
loss to the property owners will aggregate
fully $4.OO0.0Oo. and so per cent. OF that loss
will fall upon the insurance companies.
At special meeting OF the Boston Board OF

perhaps the rocks had been thrown

Cavalier county is on high table

a high mountain; but it is only

places this slate comes nearly to the
surface, but generally is several feet
below. There is an abundance of
good water on the mountain, in
some cases quite soft. Much Of the
water in the valley is poor, and thus
a balance is struck, ~ the soil Of the
valley is very productive. One Of
the features of this part Of North
Dakota is the hay ponds. They
are simply slight depressions of the
surface and quite level, as a general
thing. These get well soaked with
rain and snow and after the water
has subsided make natural and
beautiful meadows. In this month
(June) they are almost as beautiful
as lawns. There are on some claims
having as much as 40 acres Of this
kind Of land. Here the farmers cut
their hay. OF course, some have
not so much and have TO SOW timO.

are hundreds Of acres of IL. The
crops here are good IN a fairly good

from 40 to 50. Potatoes do we'll, as
the soil is rich and mellow Most
