INSURANCE COMPANIES TALK.

The current issue of The Insurance
Press, treating the subject of fire
hazards from the point of view taken by
fire insurance companies and their un-
derwriters,. comments on the losses
entailed in the fire here of three weeks
ago in way that will interest those
carrying insurance and suggests of
itself the probability of another raise in
the premium rates of policy holders,
which at present waxeth burdensome
to the property owners. Below is the
substance of the comment:
"Seven buildings in Langdon, n. D.,
were destroyed by fire on July s, the
property loss amounting to about S26,-
700. sThe fire broke out early in the
morning in the kitchen of the Great
Northern Hotel, which was situated
in the middle of a row of frame struc-
lures. A high wind was blowing at
the time, and before the fire depart
ment had chance to respond to the
alarm the flames had spreak on both
sides of the hotel, and before they were
extinguished about three-quarters of
the block was in ruins. Further damage
was prevented by the shifting of the
wind and by building of metal,clad
construction, which stopped the flames
at that point. The poor construction
of the buildings burned was responsible
largely for this heavy loss. If the
flames could not spread, by reason of
good fire walls between the adjoining
buildings, the firemen could have CON
fined the loss to the one building. That
part of the years annual fire loss
known as exposure loss is composed of
just such fires, and the only way to
get rid of this feature of the tire-waste
question is>to erect buildings that will
not favor the spread of hre-buildings
that will admit of the damage being
confined to at least the room where the
flames originate. Kitchens of hotels
require special attention, fues and
ventilator shafts being common source
of fire"

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

The meeting of the Teachers .Associa-

signated as the Langdon district, held
in the courtroom on Saturday afternoon
was attended by some thirty-five of the
fifty odd teachers who are engaged in
in the educational work of this part
of the county, and what was particularly
gratifying to Co. supt Crawford, was
the fact that the larger number of those
present came from the more remote
portions Of the county.
Four papers of general interests to
teachers were taken up for discussion
and their delivery and subsequent dis
cussion entered into. The association
will hold its next meeting ON August %

HE PREDICTED RAIN.

heard of the prophetic power of Jim
Reid on the question of rain? Last
Saturday night Jim volunteered the in
formation that this locality would be
visited by downpour not later than
Monday, and as we all know Jim made
good his prediction. This isn't the first
time that Langdon people have found
that Mr.. Reid's say SO about rainy
weather was followed by precipitation
cf the genuine soaker variety. What
he bases his predictions on is never
divulged, but generally when Jim says
its going to rain you can bet its going to

NEW BUSINESS CHANGES.
Deals Closed This Week-Two Old Estab-
lished Firms Change Hande.

A business change of considerable i'm
portance is the purchase this week by
G. S. Hunter and VIM. Stevenson of the
interest of the stock holders in the farm
machinery business of the Langdon
Implement Co., the deal closed Monday
including their warehouse property as
we'll as their extensive business built up
since the incorporation of the company
six years ago. The new proprietors are
a couple of Langdon's best known old
timers and may be figured on as happily
maintaining the popularity of the old
concern. Mr.. Stevenson served for some
time as secretary and book keeper with
the company and is able to give the new
firm the profit of his experience in that
capacity. 1t may be expected that the
firm of Hunter l. Stevenson will quickly
make and retain for themselves an
enviable position in local business
circles.
On Tuesday the old established
blacksmith and machine shop of Robert
Meiklejohn passed into the hands Of
Messrs Mcdonald & Colvin, who as
Joint partners have purchased the busl-
ness. first established by Mr.. Meiklejohn
fifteen years ago at the time when the

Alex. Mcdonald, is perhaps the better

Colvin, practical machinist. The,
