Fire at Hill CITY.

About o'clock last Friday morning
while most OF our citizens were peace
fully sleeping they were startled by
the ringing of belis-the method uSu-
ally resorted to for the purpose of let
ting ali know that some building is
on fire-and the first thing to meet
their gaze and sent a thrill of fear to
the heart was the lurid wall of flames
shooting up from the block over which
the Masonic Hail is located and quick
ly spreading to tile adjoining blocks,
the Graham County Alliance Elk
change Store and Farmers & Mer-
chants Bank building, shooting great
sheets of flames skyward and burning
faggoJs and sparks all over the south
east part of town.
| When first discovered by Frank
Grecian and Neal Smith who were re-
turning from the depot where they
with others had been engaged n the
sad office of placing aboard the re-
mains of Mrs. q. b. Brown for ship
'ment to her old home in Missouri for
interment, tile fire was then beyond
control with such means as the city
affords for such emergencies The
only thing that could be done then
was to remove such property as could
be reached and moved and to guard
against communication with the
KeTns Lumber Yard and other prop
erty in close proximity, and in the
wake of the wind, which was success
fully done.
/ Before the break of day the fire had
practically licked up the entire con-
tents of the Peoples Supply Company
Hardware store, the general store of
Coder & Coder, the Graham County
Alliance Exchange store and The
Farmers and Merchants bank. The
walls of these institutions still stand
but badly damaged.
The Appropriated total loss on
stock and buildings is placed conserv-
atively at from $45, 900 to $50, 900, only
one half of which is covered by insur-
ance. In proportion to stock lostand
insurance carried. the Peoples Supply
company and Alliance store were the
heaviest losers. The total insurance
carried is $4,000. All the parties who
sustained loss by this fire will rebuild
and restock at once.-Republican

STATE FEDERATION MAY DIVIDE IF
REDISTRICTING VOTE IS CARRIED

Appleton, Wis. Oct. 22.-'Tf reds
tricting passes. we OF the ten,h will
leave the federation"
That single declaration made yes
terday morning at the state cOnyeu-
ton by Mrs. w. c. Dickens OF Wau-
sau. chairman OF the Consumers
league committee, shows the extent 20
which the opposition feeling has de-
velOped concerning the redistricting
OF the state by the Wisconsin Fedora
ton OF WOmen's clubs.
Unless the opposition defeats the
plan. there will be a north and a
south federation continued Mrs
Dickens.
There was a gathering of the clans
yesterday morning and it is evident 10
all concerned that there will be con.
certed action in opposition to the
movement at whose head stands Miss
Lutte + Stearns. The members from
the first district oppose the change
because OF the disruption il VIII cause
in their federated district, the only
one in the state. The opposition OF
the tenth is based on the grounds that
Il viii take from their district the
strong clubs OF Amigo, Rhinelander
Shawano. Ashland and TOmahawk
There is a strong feeling that the
matter should be tabled and its con
sideration left for next year. This, in
the opinion OF many, viii be the result
OF this mornings session.

selves with more than ordinary seri

cannot long remain undiscovered.
Possessed of ample capital, the
beneficiary is guaranteed against loss
through errors or willful dishonesty.
Moreover, the trust company, in
managing many estates, can do so
with an economy not possible to in
diviiual trustees. submit, therefore.
that the burdens of the rich would be
sensibly relieved if due regard were
had to the advantages offered by the
trust company.
This brings me to a closer con.
sheraton of what the trust company
should be in its character, capital and
methods of business, to enable it to
discharge with zeal and fidelity the
high duties imposed upon it in its
fiduciary capacity as trustee. Its
capital should be adequate TO its re
sponsibilities. Its officers and
directors should be men of experience
and with a single mind devoted to the
institution they serve. Its corporate
work, whether exclusively relating to
its trust business or not, should be OF
a dignified character and free from
hazard Around the trust company
should further be thrown the safe
guards of wise legislation. In some
of the older states, adequate provision
in this respect has been made, and
these beneficent laws could profitably
be adopted by the states less
fortunate.
''The legislature may well give care
full consideration to this important
function of financial corporations. 1t
is true the trust company is com
paratively a newcomer. Inc first of
such institutions began business in
the United States but little more than
fifty years ago. The record of that
half century is, however, upon the
whole, an honorable one, and the ex-
tent of its services in the manage
ment of property is but imperfectly
understood by those most requiring its
special facilities. In the period in
question few, if any, losses have Oc-
CURED to any trust property by the
delinquency of any trust company
acting in a fiduciary capacity. There
have unquestionabIy been, in such in
situations, occasional acts OF mis-
feasance by employees, but in no
case that l can recall has the trust
company failed to make good to the
beneficiary the temporary loss thereby
sustained"

PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT OF
MISSISSIPPI RIVER DEMANDED

Davenport, Iowa, Oct. 22.-The up
per Mississippi river improvement as
sociation met here yesterday and
adopted the report of the executive
committee, which recommends that a
memorial demanding the permanent
improvement of the Mississippi river
be presented by a committee appear
ing in person before the president and
national congress. Governor VanSant
Of Minnesota, Congressman j. ]. Esch
of Wisconsin and Congressman Wade
of Iowa were among the speakers.
Governor Van SAINT, denying the re-
ports OF the decadence of river traffic,
stated that a single tow of Missis-
sippi river rafter (about 100000 feet
of lumber), if carried by rail from St
Paul to Muscatine, would amount in
freight rates to twice the original cost
OF the raft boat, and the annual freight
rates on lumber now towed down the
river would be $2,5OO,O00. The con-
vention declared the limits of the
present congressional appropriation
for the river allows only for main
flamenco while permanent improve
ments were needed to insure a good
channel at all seasons as far as st.

Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota, Wis
consin and Iowa were represented by
about $50 business men, mostly from

that something must be done soon to
