The holster crew for the Minnesota

struck for bigger wages last Monday,
and the works are at a standstill ever
since. The men were getting 1925 a
day and they wanted so cents advance
which was refused and resulted as
stated above. The men worked ten
hours day and s2.00was theminimum
wages paid, some getting as high as
$2.S5, it is said. While our sympathy
always goes with the workingmen, we
are of the impression that the strike
in question was unlustified and mis-.
take inasmuch as it caused the works
to cease operation and thus throwing
a large crew of men out of employ
ment. So, as it looks from here, this
time the workingmen asked too much.
The works in qunstion are on Lake
Irvine.
One of the most progressive farmers
of Beltrami county is Joe Steidl who
lives three miles northwest of Bemidji.
He went on his place three years ago
before tree was cut and today he
has seventy-five acres under cultiva-
ton. He has house and barn on
the place that would do honor to any
prairie farm no matter how old or
valuable it might be. This year Mr..
Steidl put in II acres of oats, 9 acres
of wheat, II acres of barley, 8 acres
of millet, IL acres of corn, 9 acres of
potatoes and Il acres in garden. He
has 2000 head of cabbage, and he
says that in his opinion the cabbage
Will average 10 pounds to the head.
If the price will be half what it was
last year his cabbage alone will bring
him $3.50, and the only attention the
garden received was after supper
when the chores were done. He has
also large flock of poultry that
brings him good returns. He says
that his crops are looking excellent,
and prospects are exceedingly bright.
The progressive farmers of this
vicinity tell us that they can make
more money here among the jack pine
than on the best prairie farm. They
have tried both and know whereof
they speak. s~a -~,-~~. ~...-..,r.-.. ... -s-

HOW SMOKE ExPLopEs.
Explained and Demonstrated for the Ben
eft OF Insurance Men.


How smoke eSplodes i'm a burning
building was graphically shown the
Fire Insurance Society last night in
its rooms 10y Underwriters Inspector
William McDevitt Mr.. McDevitt set
two-Story building. about three feet
high. on table. Then he partly filed
it with smoke from pieces of burnt
wood. Thrustng in a gas jet, Il smart
explosion followed, and tongue of
flame and smoke ten feet long shot
ont OF the windows. The inspector
also endeavored to make. on small
scale, what tircmen call a back
draught, which is really a downward
explosion of smoke through elevator
shafts or stairways where there are
iron window shutters, but the roof of
his little house was blown Off, and the
smoke went upward instead of down
ward.
The inspector used only plain wood
to produce the smoke for his explosions.
Vanished or oiled wood would. he
said, have been moro effective. as pro-
ducing more ana thicker smoke. Be
fore giving his practical illustrations
of the explosive force of hot smoke.
he briefly explained the causes OF such
explosions. In fire, he said. free
carbon rises and mixes with hydrogen:
methyl alcohol, crcosote ana other
gases are also present i'm smoke. These
gases become heated TO the point Of
ignition ANA an explosion is the result.
OF itself smoke would explode. he
said. at temperature of from 600 TO
500 degrees, but frequently 1t is ignited
by sparks or by coming into contact
with a flame.
When the smoke becomes iguited."
the Inspector went on, the interior of
the building is instantly converted into
4 mass OF flame The Hunt-Wilkinson
fire striliingly eXempli6ed that. When
l first saw the fire great volumes OF
dense black smoke poured out CT the
windows. Suddenly there was an ex-
plosion, and the smoke was trans
formed into such flame rs l never
saw before.
Very thick smoke, when ignited. the
speaker said, becomes a pillar of fame
and rolls through Il room with such
force as to shake the walls and make
the windows rattle. Ii sprinkled with
water there would be no explosion.
Where formerly firemen tried to keep
smoke in. under the impression that Il
Smothcred the fire, they now immcdi-
ately break in windows or skyiights
to let it out.
Several ways of preventing such cX-
plosions We're described by Mir Nc
Dewitt. In large stores. he said. if an
AIR shaft OF sufficient size were in the
centre, there would be NJ lateral
spread of fire.-Philadelphia Public

boldly out on voyages of original dis
cOvery in the open sea. The aim is not
the impartng of knowledge but the
contribution to knowledge; not. per
haps the discovery of new worlds of

ble-but the exploration of the Dor
