Wells Goodness and Bravery.

North Dakotans manage to get into
every kind of excitement in the United
States and always distinguish them
selves. For example. the following
special telegram from New York regard
ing the big fir: in the Windsor hotel:
Edward P. Wells, wife and daughter
of jamestown, N. D., president of the
James River National Bank there, had
apartments on the sixth floor of the
Windsor hotel, which burned yesterday
afternoon. When the fire broke out they
were watching the big st. Patrick's day
parade in the, street below and before
they realized their danger the corridors
were filled with smoke. Wells at once

daughter and then his wife in safety.
Apparently believing it impossible for
him to 60 down the rope hand over hand,
he then lowered it and wrapping his
hands with towels slid rapidly down the
rope. He reached the ground safely and
had not even a blister on his hands. He
thanked the tiremen and took his family

Fargo Call: 1t isn't often two coro-
ner's inquests are held on the remains of
n deceased person in different parts of
the country at n and the same time,
but that is what has happened in the
case of the man recently fatally injured
in a saloon row at Crookstcn, The man,
after the atfray, was removed to his home
in Pembina, where he dieu. Then the
question arose as to where the inquest
should be held, the oroners of b otl
counties insisting they had jurisdiction
in the case. A compromise was finally
reached, and the remains were decapi-
tated, the Minnesota coroner taking the
head, and tn . North Dakota coroner the
trunk. Both coroner's have held in
quests, and in both instances have re-
turned verdicts of murder.

GOOD THING FOR THE WEST.

Railroads Will Put Into Effect Low
Rates to Points in This State This
Summer.
A railroad item from st. Paul says:
The threat Of the 500 line to make pas
senger rates to points in Minnesota and
North Dakota to correspond. with the
coast rates Of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific, basing them on the
ftranscontinental rate of e25 to the coast,
has had its effect, and yesterday the
Great Northern and the Northern Pacific
announced that, beginning March 1, they
would make corresponding rates not
only to points in Minnesota and North
Dakota, but to points in Montana, Idaho
and eastern Washington.
The 500 urged as an excuse for cutting
the rates of the American lines that it
was more interested in p~opulating the
local territory than distant states, and it
would make a special effort to attract
settlers to Minnesota and North Dakota
points on its line. The Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific, seeing that
they would be obliged to follow suit,
have gone a step further, and have ex-
tended the low rates to eastern Wash
ington points.
The effect of this cut by all the trans
continental lines will be to draw an i'm
mense amount of travel to the north
west this spring, and will go far toward
settling up this section of the country.
The Pioneer Press says: A few days
ago the North Pacific coast lines a
nounced a $25 second class rate, that is
one-half of the first class limited rate to
Portland, Tacoma, Seattle and other
Northern Pacific coast points, same rate
applying to intermediate points where
the regular second class rate was higher
This rate was made for the purpose OF
inducing immigration to the Northwest
and the results have been so satisfactor,
and the publication of the rate excited
so much interest, that the Northern
Pacific has determined March 21, tt
make a correspondingly low second elias.
rate to points in Minnesota, Nortl
Dakota, Montana and Eastern Washing
ton.
The new rates to some of the impor
tant points affected by this reduction
will be as folio US: Fergus Falls, $5

Forks, $3.50; Grafton, $3.50; Casselton

1t is evident from the foregoing tina
the Northern Pacific does not propose
to discriminate as between the various
localities along it's line and is thorough,
alive to the necessity of building up it
local territory and disposing of it's un
sold lands to actual settlers.

The question of supremacy of the two
yachts is still as much an open ques.
ton as before they first met, as the
contest yesterday was, in some re.
spects, more of a fuke than that OF
Tuesday. 1t was drifting match al
most from start to finish. After sailing
4 hours and 4S minutes, the yachts
having covered only twelve miles OF
the course to the outer mark, the re.
gatta committee declared the race of,
as it was manifestly impossible, with
the breeze then blowing, for the boats
to round the stake before the time limit
expired, much less to get back home
again. The only lesson learned by the
nautical men from yesterdays trial OF
the abilities of the two boats was that
in light weather conditions the Colum.
bia is the superior in running and
reaching, and the Shamrock slightly
better in beating. There has yet been
no indication of what either boat can
