TheYGranviIle Bank Failure.

T. H.Poole, Deputy Bank Examiner
enfoute TO- 5LaMoure today, said that
by the recent failure of the State
bank. at Granville, McHenry county,
no depositor will lose dollar. There
were three or four banks in The town
and the business was over done: The
capital stock OF the bank was SIC, 900
and the suspension was due to poor
business management. The total lia-
bilities will not exceed $1,000 to de-
positors all secured. There are
about $4,000 due to other banks, also
amply secured and the stock holders
will lose nothing. This is the first
failure of North Dakota bank in the
last six or seven yearS,since the North
wood bank suspended. 'ea"

ing, has called attention to the danger
of such street crossings in towns like
Fargo, Valley City, jamestown, Bis
marck, etc.
The Fargo Forum says that the city
officials have been endeavoring to get
certain right OF way dedicated by the
railway company to the city for street
purposes. The mayor has visited St..
Paul, and conferred with the railroad
officials on the subject, that for the
last ten years the various councils
have endeavored to get the right OF
way and crossing matters properly ad-
justed, but without avail.
The only solution of the Fargo pro-
blem seems to be viaduct over the
railroad company's tracks west Of the
passenger station. The same problems
that confront Fargo in the matter of
title and safety and convenience in
the street crossings are found in
Jamestown, and before any decided
steps are taken and expense incurred,
a great many residents believe that
the council should fully consider the
interests of the city as a whole, and
not take any action that may in the
future still more jeopardize lives of
passengers and pedestrians, or force
the business Of the city to great incon-
venience and delay in the matter of
traffic on the two main avenues and
thoroughfares OF the city. This is a
very important matter for Jamestown
and the experience of other cities is
before US for consideration.

TIERS" says he, 'are more liable to
start prairie fires from carelessness
and inexperience than any one else,
and all new settlers have to learn that
straw can not be burned safely on a
windy day, The old time ranchers on
the hills are much more careful about
starting fires than the new arrivals.
The burning over the prairie is
dreaded by the settlers and farmers
as it leaves the soil in bad condi-
tion forseveral years and destroys past

power to run gas engines, Which in
the opinion of experts bid fair to re-
place steam engines in the near future.
With a view of continuing these tests
with the Ignite two car loads were
the past summer shipped to St. Louis,
one from Williston and another from
Lehigh.
With Dickinson as the point of
departure trips were made from there
in all directions and an area nearly
1000 square miles in extent was cov-
cred. The clays Of the region vary all
the way from common brick clays to
high grade fire and pottery clays.
The two grades of clay are quite dis
tinct, that which is suitable for COM
mon brick being associated with the
Ignite seams. while the high grade
clays occupy horizon above the
others. These white, high grade
clays, similar to those used at the
Dickinson and Hebron brick plants,
were found to have a wide distribu-
tion and to be confined to layer
which usually outcrops in the higher
buttes and in the divides between the
streams. This layer varies in thick.
ness from twenty-five to 100 feet.
Though the material shows consider
able variation in character it is fairly
constant over the entire area at ele-
vations of over 1900 feet above sea
level.

at that is by Q viaduct under 1.-THE

A rather peculiar accident happened
on the street on Wednesday afternoon.
While going around the corner at Fos-
holdts1Bros. store in opposite direc.
tions, Mike Mikleton and Herman
Scheler's rigs came in contact with
each other and as result one of the
shafts OF Mr.. Mikleson's buggy entered
the side of Mr.. Scheler's horse letting
out the animals intestines and it was
found necessary to kill it. 1t seems
that Mr.. Mikleton's horse was scared
by the train and became unmanag-
able and this was the cause OF the
accident.

ped from Kensal at the same time
and there were 36 stockmen in the
caboose of the train going to the
cities. This is getting to be quite an
important part of the farming in this
section of the state and it is generally
found to be profitable although just
at the present time prices are little
low. John n. Reid has about fifty
head that he will take to market in a
short time and there are a number Of
other farmers who will also ship and
are waiting to see if the market will

ing Co. in amonnt of $1,000 for city

The ordinance regarding threShing
engines crossing city cross walk re-
ceived a second reading and was

Water commissioner reported water
users delinquent. to the amount of
S297.08. Names of these delinquents
were reported. The water commits
sioner was authorized to make further
collections from deliquent water
users.
Alderman McElroy introduced a
resolution Of importance in regard to
revising the city ordinances and
moved that a committee be appointed
by the mayor to revise the ordinances
Of the city, also that the mayor ap-
point an advisory committee to direct
the work of such revision and that
the necessary expenses be paid out of
the clty's general funds. The mayor
appointed city attorney Kneeland as

Alderman Rathman having remov-
ed from the third ward his seat in the

ed by the council to fill such vacancy
until the next election. This appoint
ment was. authorized under the new
la W. for the government of cities

Alderman Dewey moved that the
water committee proceed to repair the
city well and pump, also that an in
vestigation be made as to the neces-
sary remedy for abating the nuisance
Of the sewer at the mouth Of the
same.
1t is understood that property own
eres in the vicinity of the mouth of
the sewer and along the river threat
ened legal proceedings against the city
in case the condition of the sewerage
is not improved. The Washing Of
wheat at the mill and the flow Of
water from the same below the dam,
is said to have augmented the trou-
BILE and the low stage of water in the
river is also an additional cause Of the
bad condition along the river where
the sewer empties.
