Fire Department.

Fire Department
 The results of the operation of this de- partment have been exceedingly gratify- ing. The splendid record, while largely due to the efficiency of the chief and the loyal support accorded him by the en- fire departm ent, is also due in a measure to the more efficient apparatus which has been placed at their disposal.
 While the number of calls answered during the year 1901 was over one-third more than for the year 1900, the loss sustained was only $6096 greater. The value of the propertyy destroyed this year amounted to $l36,bl9
 For the past few years, there has been a. pressing need for an increase in this department, but owing to the financial conditions with which the city was then confronted nothing could be done and to meet other necessary demands upon the treasury During the present year, how ever, we have provided the department with one new steamer, one hose wagon and one chemical engine, besides building and equipping two new stations at to- tai cost of s13,250.
 After complying with all the require ments of the Southeastern Tariff Associa- ton and making our fire department first class in every respect, with the rapid growth of this city for the past two years and practically no increase in loss by fire over that of five years past. 1t Is hard to understand that after a low rate had just been given us under contract this rate should be increased 25 per cent for the year 1902.

Robert Louis Stevenson song book, the

Mr.. Pierce had previously rendered two

same great, big hit with which they are
everywhere greeted. The. solos by Miss
Henney and Mr.. Sellers We're both enthu-

w. e. Davis writes the Minneapolis
Journal the following regarding the
recent state convention:
"For the first time in several years
the advocates of prohibition are on the
defensive. They have always secured,
by simply making the demand, recog-
milton Of their pet principle in the
republican platform. When the reso-
lutions committee reported, prohibi-
tion had been left out of the proposed
platform entirely, although it's friends
had endeayored to secure the adoption
by the committee Of the usual plank.
The resubmissionists surprised every
one by their aggressiveness and the
enthusiastic sentiment back of them.
They forced the tight, but for some
reason or other the prohibitionists
failed to respond with their old.time
vigor and confidence. Debate was
finally choked of by referring the res.
olutions OF both sides back to the res
olutions COMMITTEES, and there they
sleep. The advocates Of resubmission
say that this. lets the bars down again;
that republican members Of the legIs.

pected in the next legislature"

ONE of the arguments being used
with Linton business men to get them
to sacrifice several hundred dollars In
buying lot or lots and moving theif.
buildings to the new. town is that
some big store may come into the
new town site and undersell them.
Our merchants are selling as cheaply
as any one can sell and make profit.
Furthermore, would it make any
difference in the possible underselling
II the small store were located in the
new town? JUST think over the con-
ditions in Braddeek, Wishek, Herreid,
Artas, and other new railroad towns
Of this region. How many outsiders
with ten-thousanQ, dollar stocks"-
that we hear SO much about nowadays
have gone into business in those
towns? None. Business in those
places Is wholly in the hands Of mer-
chants from other points near by.

in evidence as ever. He had his sweet

at all stages of the game. But, IL his

careful to keep it safe from the public
gaze. However, several Pollockites,
being unused to the ways of the world,
were foolish enough to 'put up" on the

dollars of South Dakota money came
across the line. One of the features

ciples Of the democratic party.

system that robs the producer and fos-

c6mbipations that lead to the estab-
=lishment Of trusts. We oppose any
and all systems Of taxation levied for
any purposes than to provide the nee.
essary revenues for economical admin
istration Of the government. We are
therefore In favor Of q tariff for rev.
enpe only, and especially favor such
modification Of existing tariff sched-
suies as may be required to prevent
their longer affording shelter to mo-
noply.
Ne favor and recommend the adop.
tion Of = institutional amendment,
providing for the election Of United
States senators bya direct vote Of the
people. 81

opposed to government by, injunction.
We are opposed to the merger or con-
solidation Of comp peting lines.of trans
