Discussing the work of the general

period Of time. The general staff corps

Would Not Help.

Grand Forks Herald: There seem
to be two sides To the agitation for
uniform telegraph tolls to secure which
a bill has been introduced in the legis-
lature of this state. Complaint was
made that II cost 80 cents to send a
message from Steele to Fargo, while
the charge for the same message from
Bismarck to Fargo, over the same line.
and for a greater distance, is only %
cents. To remedy this a bill was in
troduced having a sort OF a long and
short haul clause which it was hoped
would work a reformation. Ir explana-
ton of the inequality it is stated that
the company has made a rate to the
state capital of 25 cents from any part
of the state Thus it would cost the
same from the most distant part of
the state to Bismarck as from the
nearest point. This rate affects the
state capital only, and is not a discrim-
inatiOn aimed at any other town in
particular. Unless the legislature is
going into the business OF cutting
down the tolls all over the state it Is
difficult to see how the passage of
this bill will benefit the people. The
rates to and from all points except
the capital city will remain as they
are. and we will pay more money every
time we have occasion to send a tele-
gram TO Bismarck.

HISTORICAL SIGHTS.

Proposed Preservation Of Sites Of His
toricaI Settlements in Dakota.
There is a bill before the assembly
for the appropriation of 81 900 for the
purchase of the sizes Of old Fort Aber-
crombie and the first Christian Mis-
sion at Walhalla. The appropriation
is contingent upon a contribution of
an equal amount from private sources
and this will probably be forthcoming.
These sites will be more interesting
and valuable as the years go by. from
an historical standpoint, having been
the scene of some Of the first settle
ments in the present state of North
Dakota.

ton on tho Board.

The report of the special committee
that visited Madison during the legis-
lative recess under a resolution passed
by the legislative assembly. directing
them to work for the passage of the
bill before the Wisconsin legislature
providing for a Wisconsin system of
grain inspection. will report to the
legislative assembly that they visited
Madison as directed, but that they did
not remain to work for the passage of
the bill for the reason that they
misled as to the nature of the bill, and
the provision that was to be made for
the selection of a North Dakota man
as a member of the Wisconsin board.
The report will detail the interviews
had by the members of the special
committee with the committee on state
affairs of the Wisconsin legislature, to
whom the grain bill was referred. and
also with the governor, and will re-
port that from neither source could
they get any assurance that a North
Dakota man would be appointed on the
board. In consequence of this fact,
the members of the committee re-
turned without working for the pass
age of the bill. as the legislative as
sembly directed.
A meeting of the special committee
was held yesterday afternoon at which
the matter was generally discussed.
The report, as agreed upon, will be
signed by five members of the com
mittee Messrs. LaMoure and Sharpe,
from the senate, Mattson and Leech,
from the house, and Commissioner of
Agriculture Turner. Representative
Young stated last night that he would
not sign the majority report. and he
will probably present a minority re-
port, embodying his views of the mat
ter, and recommending the passage OF
such legislation as will aid in estab
fishing the Wisconsin, North Dakota in,
spection. Mr.. Young says he believes
the Wisconsin bill as comprehensive
as it can be made.

THE PRAIRIE r
A Furious Battle With a Raging Fire.
(PriZC

One summer afternoon the sun was
obscured by a hazy vapor and the air
was very oppressive. A strong breeze
was blowing and it Don became evil
dent that a prairie fire was raging to
tho westward.
Night drew near and the signs of
the fire became more evident. The
air became to filled with smoke that
one could scarcely breathe. The wind
bore other signs, such as bits Of burnt
grass and cinders which fioated
through the air. AS it became darker
the blaze of the fire could be seen
on the distant hills. Everybody was
soon running about. carrying things
to places of safety. Horses were
harnessed and plows brought forth,
and the men and boys were soon busy
blowing and burning fire guards
around the fields and buildings.
The fire had already swept across
the neighboring fields and some farm
buildings we're blazing, lighting the
prairie for a long distance around. The
flames soon reached the fire guards.
which had little effect on them. The
men hurried to the scene to do what
they could to keep it from crossing the
remaining fireguard, but their work
was in vain, and the fire was soon
sweeping across the fields toward
large stacks of grain. They were
ablaze in a moment from the ground
to the very tops. A bucket brigade
was formed from a well near some
buildings. and it was only by satur-
ating the structures with water that
the flames were cheated of their prey.
With a feeling of t~hankfulness the
men threw themselves on the ground
to rest after their hard task. They
had saved the buildings. but the fire
swept on. burning everything in its
path.
