the last decade. 1t is also notice
able that the production of corn
in the state has kept pace with
the increase in the number OF
hogs. Corn finished cattle and
hogs were not dreamed of ten
years ago as a North Dakota pro.

THERE are many rumors ahoat
as to what happened at the Man
dan caucuses last Saturday. Re-
port has it that the Tuttle- Parkins
forces put a compromise ticket in
the field and that the ticket was
defeated by an anti-compromise
ticket, and some people think this
was what the futile faction want
ed. 1t is conceded by both sides
that Judge Winchester gets the
judicial delegation and w. c.
Gilbraith the state delegation.
After the county convention, set
for April %, the atmosphere will
clear and the outside world will
know who is in Editor Tuttle's

Nanhtha Lannoh a Patent Boat,

Z. B. Brewer of Bloomsbury, who
manufactures the naphtha launches
put in the river at this place, was in
Danvilie yesterday morning.
He is very enthusiastic on the sub
iect of the graceful little craft, which
is Bloomsbury product. 1t is pat
eut boat, he says, adapted for just
such waterways as the North Branch,
as it draws only eighteen inches of
water, and by loading to suit can be
used where the water is still shallow
er.
Mr.. Brewer says he has placed an ex-
pert in each boat, who will remain
until those in charge are thoroughly
drilled and able to handle the launch
without any risk. He accounted for
the hitch which sometimes occurs i'll
starting up by explaining that the en-
gines are equipped with vaporizer"
designed for summer, as these boats
are seldom used until spring is fairly
under way. There may be a little
difficulty during the cold mornings.
but as warmer weather comes on this
will entirely disappear.

The car was a5laze as it sped along

and the train was stopped to eXtln-
guish the fire.
The blaze originated i'll the roof of
the car, and was caused by a spark
either from the stove i'll the car or
from the engine. The roof was burn
ing merrily when one OF the company
discovered the fire The trainmen
were notified and the train was stop
ped. Water was secured from the en-
CINE and the fire was extinguished.

The proceedings were not given out
for publication. but there seems to be
good reasons for believing that both
boards are still i'll favor of a free ferry
and that joint action was taken yes
terday which will secure a ferry at
the earliest possible date
The idea of operating ferry of any
sort before the Ice comes down the
river Is now practically abandoned.
For the present the naphtha launches
and the row boats will be relied upon
to do the carrying.

STOPPED By
THE BOROUGH

The crew of the American Telegraph
and Telephone Company at work on
repairs between Williamsport and
Hazleton were stopped by the Borough
authorities here on Saturday morning
while engaged in planting poles OH
Mill street.
In view of street paving aud other
improvements contemplated on Mill
street, Council does not like TO see any
new poles erected on that thorough
fare and the members could not un-
derstand why the company should pro-
ceed to do any work in the Borough
without first obtaining permit. Ac-
cordingly the Chief of Police at the
instance of the Chairman of Commit
tee on Streets and Bridges waited up
on the crew aud notified them that
they would not be permitted to erect
any poles on Mill street.
In order to adjust the matter spec
ial meeting of Council was held Sat.
urday night. A communication was
presented signed by II. Glen, foreman,
who along with another representative
of the company. was present at the
meeting it was explained that the
crew was under orders to reconstruct
the line and asked Council for approx
al and directions. Mr. Glen explained
that they were merely removing the
old poles and inserting new and larg-
er ones and that in view of this cir
cumstance they had not thought it
was necessary to procure a permit
from the Borough.
Council, however, took the view
that inasmuch as new poles are being
erected the present would ba good
time to relocate the line as it relates
to our borough. Accordingly res
oIution on motion of Mr.. Reifsuyder
and seconded by Mr.. Vastine was ad-
opted which ordered that the poles
should be relocated, following Instead
Of Mill street, the alley east or Ferry
street as decided upon by the Street
Commissioner.
The following members were pres
ent at the special meeting: Davis,
Vastine, Goeser. Reifsnyder, Swank,
Lloyd, Dietrich, Joseph Gibson and
David Gibson.
