The depot of the 500 Line at Oakes
was burned to the ground with its
entire contents early Wednesday
morning.
Agent Anderson has of lete been
doing the entire night and day work
at the depot, and Tuesday night
about nine he laid down on cot
awaiting the train from the east,
which at that time was expected to
arrive at l o'clock in the morning.
He fell asleep and it was midnight
VIXEN he was awakened by the smoke
which filled the room. At first he
was bewildered and nearly overcome,
but luckily he found the door and
got out, Once he got into the open
air he saw that the entire office room
of the building was on fire. He came
down town as fast as he could, where
he rang the alarm.
It was fifteen minutes before the
fire engine and hose cart was on the
scene, but the fire bad gotten too
much of start for them to have
been of any assistance. AS it was

Politics may rightfplly claim fair
amount of space in every we'll con-
Quoted North Dakota newspaper, but
neither that nor any other subject
should be permitted to acquire pre-
eminence over matters pertaining to
the growth and development of the
state.
To advertise North Dakota aud the
opportunities she holds forth to per.
sons seeking homes or capitalists
seeking investments is the first duty
of the press because loyalty of the
highest degree.
Such advertisement is strictly hon
est, too. The opportunities are here
and cannot be exaggerated. No state
in the union offers better inducements
to the practical and industrious than
does North Dakota, and the newspa-
pers of the state should keep con-
stantly reminding the world of this
fact. That is the way to induce peo-
pie to come here and capitalists to
invest their money here.
Talk North Dakota, brethren. Al
low no reasonable opportunity to slip

she offers. 1t ls'the most profitable

The depot building and the entire
contents, including seAeral harvesters
and a fine piano, together with all
the furniture and fixtures was entirely
destroyed, and by 3 o'clock only a
few smoldering embers remained to
tell the tale.
Agent Anderson lost new type
writer which cost him 500, a fine
office desk, and between six and
seven hundred dollars in currency
which he had in the pocket of his
goat, which he hung on the wall Of
the. room in which he slept.

was built for the roadmaster's Office.

w. Bittman of the Cask Mercantile
company:
To the Members of the Oakes Fire Co.
Gentlemen: Your prompt action
and efficient work at the recent fire in
the Cash Mercantile building is a
record you should not only be proud
Of as an organization, as l am proud
Of you as men and citizens, but it
calls for a more substantial recogni-
tion at my hands.
wish to tender you the uss Of the

given for your benefit some time in
the near future on date to be fixed
by you. 1 will provide good music,
the best that can be had, at my own
expense, and will ask you to take
charge of the party, invite your
friends. and retain the entire pro.
iceeds for the benefit of your organ
ization.
Suggesting that you name a date
as early aa.to your judgment seems
best, and again thanking you, l am
Sincerely yours,
EsW. BlrrNAS.
There will be meeting'of the Fire
company at the engine house next
Monday evening at which time action
will be taken on the invitation of Mr.
Bittman. 1t is safe to say at the out
set that the invitation will be &C.
cepted and the date fixed for the ball
probably some time in the latter part
of September.
This generous offer on the part of

preciated by the fire company, and

The Vatican is naturally well supplied
