The December number of The
Northwest Magazine will be of speci-
al interest to Washington, Idaho and
North Dakota readers. 1t contains
eight pages of illustrated matter ON
"Spokane and its Fruit Fair" by N.
w. Durham; a paper on "rhe Puget
Sound Country" by the lamented F.
H. Adams, and probably the las,
lines traced by his gifted pen; "The
Great North Dakota Wheat Crop
and interesting notes on "rhe New
Fargo" and jamestown, by the editor
Of the Magazine; "a Tale of Two
Territories" by E. Barnard Foote
"North Dakota Prairie Sketches" by
Clara M. White, and other attractive
features so characteristic Of thi!
monthly. Not the least interesting
are those departments which illustrate
brightest western humor and the
many phases Of western life. 1t is :
large number, and marks the close o
the thirteenth volume OF this popular
magazine.

The proprietors of the Grand
Forks Plaindealer have donated the
use Of their office together with the
material, to the ladies Of Grand Forks,
who will, about January 1st, get out
woman's edition to be given to the
poor. 1t is very laudable under
taking and will no doubt be grand
success-because the ladies generally
do make success Of everything they
undertake, and when they get a
chance to talk they are right a,
home. An agent will probably visit
Cooperstown in the interest of this
edition.

The Lecture.

Never in the history of the town
have the people heard as good n lecture
as that delivered by Mr.. C. H. Fraser
in the courthouse last Tuesday evening
on the subject: The Worlds Tomcr-
row, or Dream of Destiny" and it
is safe to say that the universal yer
diet of those who Were fortunate
enough to hear it is; ut was ont Of
sight."' The gentleman more tam
pleased, and the lecture was far better
than had been anticipated. For about,
two hours Mr. Fraser held his audience
in rapt attention. His address and
style of delivery is both pleasant and
graceful, and his flow of eloquencd is
fine. He certainly is an orator of
marked ability and has the knack of
keeping the strictest attention of the
audience as well as keeping them
amused by his wit and funny anecdates.
Should any of our sister towns he for
tunate enough to have made dates with
Mr.. Fraser we will guarantee them an
evenings entertainment we'll worth the
money they invest. The business men
of Cooperstown can certainly feel proud
of the first lecture of the course and If
the rest are anywhere near rs good rs
this one, there ought to be no fear of
the success of the entire course.

The Goose River Farmer makes
a great big kick on the way the Great
Northern railroad serves the news
papers with whom it has advertising
contracts in the way of mileage.
The Farmer says that the G. N. owes
it S76 on his contract and refuses to
furnish him any more mileage and
that many editors have been served
the same way. Now says the Farm
er this same G.. N. wants a lot of
special advertising through the holi-
days which has been dropped with a
dull sickening thud into the waste
basket. The Farmer did the proper
thing in this matter and it is a great
regret that the editor lives on the
line of the G.. N. The Northern
Pacific, through its obliging agent,
Chas. S. Fee, always lives up to its
contracts 50 far as we know, and we
guarantee if the boys do what they

agree the old pioneer line will respond
liberally every time-at least that
has been the Courier's experience.

President Cleveland is getting
down to business at last He has
sent special message to congress
relating to the Venezuelan boundary
dispute between Great Britain and
that country, and gives Eng land to
understand that the Monroe doctrine
will be enforced at any cost. That
is the right kind OF talk and the presi-
dent will be warmly supported by all
parties. His message was received
by cheers by the d,gni6ed' senators,
and the right chord has undoubtedly
been struck.

Elsewhere in this issue of the
Courier will be found a notice in
which the town board call meeting
to be held January 9TH, 1896, to dis
cuss the advisability of passing an
ordinance forbidding the erection OF
frame buildings within the fire limits
other than those veneered with brick
or iron. All the business men inter-
ested in this matter are invited to be
present at this meeting and express
their views in the passags Of such an
ordinance. Get out and do your
kicking right there before the board
and don't wait until the ordinance
has been passed and then set up a
roar. The opinion of the Courier is
that such an ordinance is a little too
previous. However, such an ordi-
nance would undoubtedly increase
the safety of the town from fire, yet
on the ether hand the business por-
ton of the town is all built up solid
ly now, with only two Or three vacant
lots in the four business blocks, SO
that we cannot see what good such
an ordinance will do. If a fire start
ed anywhere in the four blocks and
got good start the probability is
that veneered and iron covered build
ings would 60 along with the others.
If some Of these smeke houses, gaso.
line sheds, etc., were taken out of
the fire limits it seem to the Courier
that that would be a great deal more
to the point in the way of protection
from fire. What we want is to have
this matter thoroughly discussed and
if majority of the business men
want such an ordinance let US have i,
and we are willing to abide by it.
We notice that the ordinance relat.
ing to the dumping of ashes around
in the fire limits is net enforced. l,
would be we'll to enforce what ordin
] ances we have got first.

On and after January 1st, 1896
according to the new code, all coun-
ty printing has got to be done in the
state and in the county where prac-
ticable. This is a step in the right
direction. Thousands of dol
lars are paid out yearly by the differ
ent counties of the state for county
printing which should be left right al
home among the printers of the state
who are paying taxes. The new law
is good one and will help out the
state printers.

Pitching the Tune.

An incident which seems amusing at
tho present day, but was too natural to
excite much mirth at tho time of Its oc-
currence, is recorded by an old resident in
u New England town 1t occurred in the
old Baptist meeting house before the in.
PRODUCTION of church organs.
There was no orchestra such as was to
be found in many Of the larger churches,
and the singing was conducted in the
"good old way" one Of tho congregation
starting the tune.
This duty fell to one of tho deacons of
the church, and although he was prone to
pitch tho tunes very high no fault was
ever found by the minister or the congre-
cation, who did as well as they could con-
sidering tho altitude Mt which their vocal
feats had to be performed.
On one occasion, however, the minister
exchanged with brother from II neigh
boring town whose ears had been trained
by long experience with u tuning fork.
When he had given out the hymn and the
deacon had sung the first line, the minis
ter raised his hand in depreciation.
"Hold on therel' he cried in ringing
tones you've got that too high"
"Will you please lower itp" said the dea-
con mecbly after an nstonished pause.
Certainly" responded the minister,
and he proceeded to Clover" the tune,
after which the hymn continued without
further interruption and to the unusual
comfort of the congregation. Youth S
