AFFAIRS OF THE DISTRICT
The Effort of a Plumber TO Evade
the Regulations.
Inspector Ball Reports n fragrant
Case of Bad Work-The Encroach-
ment of a Fence on Public Space
The Cancellation of Old Taxes.

Charles B. Ball, Inspector Of Plumbing,
has called the attention of the Engineer
Commissioner TO what he states was a de-
Hberate attempt on the part of a jour
neyman plumber to deceive an inspector
of his Office. Mr.. Ball states that the
regulations require that every 1i2-inch
vent pipe shall be increased to two inches
below the roof De states that such a
pipe in the case referred to was run
through the roof without increasing the
size thereof, and that piece of two-inch
pipe was slipped over the work to make
IT appear as having been done properly.
Mr.. Ball states that the inspector dis
covered the fault and that there was no
connection made between the two pipes.
Mr. Ball further states that the matter
was called to the attention of the master
plumber in charge of the work, and a
letter from the master plumber is sub
mitte6. Mr. Bail states that il is his be-
lief that a deliberate attempt was made
to deceive his inspector and he suggests
that plumber who will do this ought TO
be dealt with by the Commissioners. He
asks that he be at least warned that an
other established attempt OF the kind will
be visited with the revocation Of his
license as a master plumber.
The master plumber referred to states
that when the matter was called 10 his
attention he ordered the work Immediate
ly changed and severely reprimanded the
journeyman plumber who had done the
job.
The report Of the Inspector Of Plumb
ing has been approved by the C0mmis-
sioners and in accordance Herewith the
master plumber complained Of will be in
formed

An Ordinary Thief

Is not half so bad as a swind-
ling hail insurance company. For
the ordinary.thief simply robs you.
But the hail insurance thief robs
you of your premium, and deceives
you into believing your crop is
protected when it is not. Bewar e
of mutual companies because you
assume unlimited liability when
you join one. The agent Of a
mutual company can tell you how
much it will cost to join his COM
pany.
But no one on earth can tell
what it may cost you to get out of
it.
Be safe and insure in the tried
and proven Northwestern Fire and
Marine because its losses were
paid last year and two years ago
in the field when adjustment was
made.
Because we can refer you to
hundreds of farmers whose losses
have been satisfactorily adjusted
by our company.
Because your liability ends
when you pay your premium to
the Northwestern. Because the
Northwestern agents live among
you-you know they are reliable.

In March, 1913, / had to 60 over -
Paris to finish up some work there and
Just came in for the revolution. From

that was going on. ] we'll remember
the pandemonium In the streets. the
aspect of the savage mob, the wanton
firing Of shots ut quiet spectators, tha
hoisting Of Louis Philippe's nankeen
trousers on the Flagstaff Of the Tuile-
ries. When the bullets began to come
through my windows, !. thought 1t time
to be off while it was still possible.
Then came the question how to get my
box full of precious manuscripts, ETC.,
belonging to the East India company,
to the train.
The only railroad open vas the line
to Havre. which had been broken up
close to the station. but farther on was
intact. In order to get there we had
to climb three .barricades. I offered
my concierge 5 francs to carry my box
but his wife would not hear Of Lis
risking his life In the streets. Ter
francs; the same result. But at the
sight Of a louis dor she changed hel
mind and, with an "Allez, mon ami

to the Prussian legation and was tho

ADVERTISEMENTS DAKOTA

The people Of North Dakota
can do much more to advertise the
state and disadvantages than they
are doing and that, too, at very
little effort and no particular cost.
Most of us have friends in the
east or elsewhere outside of the
state to whom we write occasion
ally, or to whom we ought to write,
and it is in our correspondence
with them that an opportunity is
afforded to sound the praises Of
North Dakota in no uncertain way.
The method to be pursued is ex-
tremely simple. Whenever you
write to a friend or relative living
at a distance, say something good
about the state in. which you live.
If YOU raise a big crop Of wheat or
fax, tell all about it. If land is
good and cheap in your vicinity,
by all means let those with whom
YOU correspond be Informed Of
that fact. In your letters set forth
all the advantages North Dakota
affords, note individual instances
Of c achieved under your
observation, and if you have a
friend or acquaintance whom you
think can better his condition by
coming to this state, write to him
to that effect.
This is a very simple way of adj
yertising, and yet a most effective
one, for the friend to whom you
write will be sure to tell others
what you say about North Dakota
IN YOUR letters, it will be talked
over among the neighbors, and
thus the belief that this is a land
Astounding in rich opportunities
will be spread to the ultimate great
advantage of our state.
We have merely conveyed him
in these few words, but a valuable
one. as the resultN i'll speedily de:
monstrate, if the hint is actec
upon by all Of us. Let us all joi1

M-ontezuma,. Well.

One Of the most pleasing natural
%curiosities in the territory Of Arizona
isythe pool of water known as Monte
zuma's we'll. 1t is situated Is miles
northeast Of the old abandoned mill
tary post known as Camp Verde. 1t is
$50 feet in diameter, and the clear.
pure water Is about 60 feet below the
surface of the surrounding country.
Some years ago certain military Off
GERS sounded the pool and found that
it had a uniform depth of 80 feet Of
water except in one place, apparently
about six feet square. where the sound
ing line went down about 500 feet
without touching bottom.
The well empties into Beaver creek
only about 100 yards distant. the wa.
ter gushing forth from the roc'-s as
though it were under great pressure.
The well is undoubtedly supplied from
subterranean sources, possibly through
the hole sounded by the army officers
years ago. The sides of the well are
~honeycombed with caves and tunnels,
permitting s%ightseers to descend to the
waters edge.
Montezuma's we'll contains no fish.
The flow of water from 1t is the same
throughout the season. Popular opin-
Ion has attributed the origin Of the
we'll to volcanic action, but as the rock
surrounding 1t Is limestone 1t is more
than probable that the action of the
water is responsible for it's creation

Fire Fiend.

Corydon, Sept. 4.--(Special.) 1.-The
town of Sewal, eleven miles southeast
Of here on the Milwaukee railroad in
this county, was almost entirely wip.
ed out by fire last night. The fire or
iginated in the wareroom of Ira Ban.
ia & Company's store, and as it was
filled with barrels of oil, it was impos-
sible to extinguish it. The flames quick
ly communicated to the main building,
and in short time was mass of
ruins. Adjoining this building was
the general store of N. Loafman, which
was destroyed. From there the fire
spread to Miller's warehouse which
contained several thousand bushels of
grain, which was a total loss. The
plate glass in the new bank building
was broken, and the building was on
ly saved by the hard work of citizens.
The exact amount of the loss could
not be learned, but it is estimated at
$4,000 with a very small amount of
insurance.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Money belong

a suit to attach s1.40O in the Columbi-

the courts that pension money in

the state courts, extended the rule so
as to cover pension money after it is
in the possession of the pensioner.
