GLENDALE, N. D., March 17.-Tne
prairie fire which swept over the hills
west Of the town last week infiicting
serious losses upon many farmers. The
fire started near Coldwater. sixteen
miles west of the hills, and came
straight for Glendale, but when about
ten miles from the town the wind
changed and carried the flames south
toward Frederick. A small creek 8
miles north of Frederick stopped it's
progress.
The fire burned over a tract of land
thirty miles in extent and about ten
miles wide, devouring everything in
it's path, including buildings, hay
stacks, and stock. Not SO much stock
is lost as was first thought, because
most Of the animals were out on the
range and escaped by running, but the
loss of hay is enormous. Thousands
of tons have been destroyed.
A few farmers lost everything they
owned and are reduced to absolute
poverty. All, however, who were in
the path of the fire lost most of their
hay,and inasmuch as the range is
now all burned off they must dispose
of their stock at once for whatever
they can get.
The range is spoiled for three years
at least, which means that no stack
can be raised on the tract of land foi
that length of time. This is a serious
blow, because stock raising Is one Of
the chief industries of this country
has visited this section in years.

was again in the box for the Reds,
and although he was without prac-

NOTES OF SCHOOLS
New Things Happening in County
Generally.

County Superintendent of Schools
l.. II. Harrison received word few
days ago from Catherine l.. Craig,
state superintendent of public in
struction, that Congressman Brooks
would issue free flower and garden
seed to the various schools in the
state, if the request was made.
Mr.. Harrison at once wrote to the
congressman for seed for the Weld
county schools, and is daily expect
ing the shipment. An effort will
then be made to induce the school
children to make flower, and possibly
some vegetable gardens about the
schools. and also to plant tie seed at
home, and thus help beautify the
country. 1t is especially desired to
have the seed here before Arbor Day.
in order that these may be used as
part of the exercises for that day.
School was opened last week in the
new district, No. &c, north of Sever
ance. with Miss Gladys PRESLEY, as
teacher.
A nine months term of school was
opened at Carr, last week. This is
practically the only district that has
summer school. Usually the term
opens about April l. and continues
for nine months. This Is done be-
cause of the sparsely settled district
that makes it necessary for some of
the pupils to travel many miles to
get to the school. AS the country Is
so open, it might often be dangerous
for children to.be caught ia snow
storm, such as often visit the section
during the winter months.
