THEY WANT MORE
MONEY
Members of Local Fire De-
partment Feel They
Are Underpaid.
HALE A DOLLAR AN ALARM is
NOT SUFFICIENT.
City Council Will be Asked to
Raise the Salary Of Local
Firemeil.

The Benidji Fire Department
had a regular meeting at the city
hall last night at which number
of things pertaining to the vel
fare Of the department. were dis
cussed. Among other matters
gone over quite exhaustively was
the matter of asking the council
for a raise in the salary Of the
members. They are at present
paid fifty cents an alarm and
they do not feel that this is suf-
fcient.
The mem bers of the Crookston
Fire department and the chief
are paid two dollars an alarm.
At Cass Lake the condition is the
same and the officials of the local
department. after much investi-
cation find that they are receiv
ing less money for More work
than any department in the state.
The report of the fires for the
year shows that the number Of
alarms that have been turned in
have been very numerous for the
size of the town. The losses have
been, comparatively speaking,
small and the department is GER
tainly to be pardoned for the
credit it takes for this fact. The
matter Of asking the council for
a raise will be gone about at once.
Several new mem bers were re.
.ceived into the department last
night, applications We're consld-
cred and other routine business
transacted. A list of some addi-
tions to the equipment Of the de-
partment was prepared and will
be presented for the consider
alton Of the council. Among other
things a new hose cart will be
asked for.
The matter of re-organizing
the running team was discussed
and it was decided to have a run
ming team next summer and to
get in training for the tourna-
ments as soon as possible. Dur
ing the coming summer tourna-
ments will be held at Grand
Rapids and Hallock IN this sec
ton and it is hoped that the run
ming team will be able to attend
both events.

I r. E. White Camp at Kelliher
Closed by DR.. Blakeslee

Days Until Danger OF Con.

Last night while the one hun

the R. 3. White logging camp

the county physician and health
officer, favored them with a sur
prise. Shortly after midnight
he tackled a red card on all the
camp doors which bore the legend
smallpox and established the
usual q quarantine regulations over
the camp.
This morning the camp awoke
to find itself isolated for the next
eighteen days at least from inter
course with the outside world.

was placed over the camp and the
quarantine was effective.
DR.. Blakeslee's action was oc-
casioned by the fact that Henry
Seymour, who was taken to the
quarantine hospital yesterday,
developed case of smallpox at
the camp and he proceeded ac-.
cording to the state law in the
matter. The quarantine is the
argest which has ever been
made in Beltrami county.

DR.. Blakeslee's visit and it's pur-
pose had been known in advance
it is very probable that he would
have arrived to find most of the
men gone. He kept the matter
very quiet, however, informed
the employers what was to be
done and proceeded with their
cooperation.
Work will not be suspended,
The men will work as usual UNI
der guard until the contagion
period of eighteen days is passed.
No one will be allowed to leave
the camp and no visitors will be
permitted during that time. DR..
Blakeslee does not anticipate
that any new cases will be devel-
oped. He fumigated the passen-
ger coaches on the M. & I.
passenger last night also. This
action was necessitated by the
fact that Seymour had come to

This story as well as others was wide

The Original Language.

According TO the Bible, one language
was spoken by all races until the con
fusion of tongues" Following Biblical
tradition this language must have pee
Hebrew, assumed also to have been
the language of Adam and Eve. An
other theory had 1t that Hebrew, Ara
bic and Chaldee We're dialects OF the
original tongue. The Persians claim
that there were three primitive Ian
guages, Arabic, the tongue used 10y
Satan In addressing Eve; Persian, the
language spoken by Adam and Eve.
and Turkish, the speech used by the
archangel when he drove them out Of
paradise. This would leave Persian as
the tongue of primitive humanity. In
olden days many ingenious attempts
were made TO settle the question by
excluding children from all human in
tercourse and observing the result in

up between them. Science has no an
