Minot Too Busy With Other Things
Let Shop Go Elsewhere.

OF all sad words of tongue and pen,
the saddest are these it might have
BEEN In Minot's steady and onward
march she has received her first set
lack. But for the procastinating pro-
pensities and dilatory action of some
of our prominent citizens in getting
homes built in which to house pros
pective and even present inhabitants,
the newspapers would not now be tell
ing about Minot not getting the G. N.
shops. Perhaps, this city may yet
receive portion of the G. Ms an
ticipated improvements and get a half
loaf which is better than none 1t is
certain that the thought of the prob
able loss of the shops to Minut will
work some good, for our citizens are
alive to the necessity of providing
more homes and the impetus given
by the rOusing meeting held in the
Commercial club last Friday will not
be without results. AS result of
this meeting the Building G. Loan as
ISOLATION is booming and our mer-
chants and financiers are getting
busy" in the home building direc-
ton.

County Treasurer Not in Race

County Treasurer J. G. Mitchell has

BISMARCK THE END.

T. E. Blanche, general agent in Du-
luth for the Northern Pacific road, has
come into possession of a folder is
sued by the road in 1879, says the Far
go Call, and even to those people 20
whom quarter of a century back
doesn't seem SO very long the changes
IN the northwest since that railroad
folder did service are startling.
At that time the Northern Pacific
road extended west only as far as
Bismarck, but it appears to have been
surveyed through to Portland, as is in
dicated by the dotted line on the folder
map, from the North Dakota capital to
the Columbia. In those days the stage
hourished in the west as a means CT
transportation, and it was at time
when there was much excitement over,
the discovery OF gold in the Black
Hills.
The Northern Pacific folders in 1879
carried numerous advertisements of
these stage lines and of Missouri river
steamers. The buffalo still roamed the
plains in great herds and the western
frontier was full of the romantic and
the picturesque. Then were the DAVIS
when the railroads and stage routes
were infested with desperate men, and
the name of Jesse James and his band
carried fear to the heart of the eastern
tenderfoot who had taken Horace
Greeleys advice and followed the star
of empire.
The stage routes laid great stress
in their advertising on connections
with the Northern Pacific and on the
great precautions that were taken to
insure the safety of passengers and
their property The Custer Route"
to the Black Hills is advertised on
the folder as the only line having
United States military protection.
The stage route from Bismarck to the
Black Hills is further recommended
as follows:
1.-THE United States government,
recognizing the Importance of this, the
only first-class route to the Hills, has
established military post near the
foot hills to protect the line from Bis
marck to the Black Hills, thus making
it as safe and free from danger in
travelling as in any part of the states.
I'm addition to the protection given
by United States troops the company
has established a system of outriders,
two of whom accompany each coach.
They have also adopted plan to fur
ther protect passengers from raids by
road agents. Passengers before start
ing can deposit all moneys not re-
quired for expenses of meals, etc., on
the road, with their agent, and secure
draft for their amount on their agent
at the other end of the line, thus OBJ
waiting all danger of loss"

SOME WEATHER aDOPE..
Past Performances Of March and What
to Expect This Year,

Past records of North Dakotas eli
mate do not furnish very good basis
upon which to dope out" predictions
except along the line suggested by the
hypothesis that the weather foundry
can be trusted to turn out something
new every time. The following figures
for March are taken from the official
records of the weather bureau, and
while they are of no value as fore
cast for the mont (which opened yes
terday they will serve to show what
March has done in the past
The coolest March since 1919 was
that of 1S43, when the mean tempera-
ture was Al degrees. The coolest
since 1890 was that of 1899, with an
average Of II degrees. The coolest
March days on record came in 1865,
when the mercury dropped to the -26
degree mark. Turning to the other
extreme of temperature, the records
show that March, 1860, when the tenn
perature was 1852 degrees, was the
%armest. The warmest March since
1880 was that of 1894, when the aver
age temperature was Sc degrees. The
Narmest March day came in 1910,
when the mercury climbed up to 70.
The average precipitation for March
since 1890 is IL inches. The wettest
March since that date was that of
1897, when 305 inches of moisture was
registered. The dryest was that of
1902, with only O.3 inches. Turning
TO the more extended record the great
est March precipitation came in 1S49,
when All inches of water fell. The
smallest March precipitation was oil
inches in 1881.
The prevailing March winds come
from the northwest and travel at an
average rate of IL miles an hour. The
heaviest winds in fifteen years came
nom the southwest at the rate of SIS
miles an hour in 1898. AS to clouds,
the average for fifteen years is: 8 days
clear, days partly cloudy, and IA
days cloudy.

FELT LIKE A CAPITALIST.
Sometimes the Man Owns the House ;
and Sometimes the House Owns
the Man.

Perhaps you bought that extra
house" with the savings of many years.
When title passed to you it seemed
that you had become a pretty import
ant sort of fellow, after long wait
ing. 1t looked as though itwould lie
a nice thing to have steady income
from a property, as we'll as from your
daily work. You felt like capitalist
or like you imagined capitalist
must feel-able TO make other things
besides your own hands work for you.
And the thought that upon waking up
every morning you would be a little
richer than when you went to bed
was a very comfortable one-after so
many years of the other feeling.
But there seemed to be something
wrong somewhere. The pent-income of
the first three months was swallowed
up in repairs-then the tenants moved
out one fine morning owing you
couple of months rent. Taxes were
due and payable. The house needed
paperng and decorating. A new leak
i'll the roof needed attention. You
placed a very pretty ITO Rent" placard
in the window; but the possible tenant
walked down the next street when he
was in that neighborhood.
In fact, your house had quit working
for you; and you had commenced
working for it. You had quit manag-
ing the house; and the house had be-
gun to manage you.
But, for the sake of happy end
ing" to this little fable, let us suppose
that one morning you woke up"
wiser, if a poorer. man. Let us sup
pose that. in consideration of the
money you had spent in making it
better house, you concluded to raise
the rate of rent accordingly; and that
you lost no time in writing an effective
ITO Rent" advertisement of thatihouse.
Let lis assume that the possible new
tenant Who had not been on that street
lately was reader of the classified
advertiSement-as he usually is-and
that he signed your lease few days
afterwards.
And having had plenty of expert
ence" as landlord you may now en-
pect to reap some of the profits.

Hardly had the noise, of the wreck
ceased, when sheet of fire ran through
the shattered cars of both trains. In the
forward coach of the westbound every
seat was occupied by passengers, most
of whom were homeseekers A number
of foreigners were among them, and in
their terror they gave up life without
making any attempt to reach safety out
side the burning car. They sank to the
floor of the car and were roasted alive.
The cooler ones in the car, seeing their
danger, rushed for the windows and
doors, and with the aid of the passengers
in the rear train and those members of
the train crew who were unhurt managed
to reach the open air. Many were injured
by the rough handling they received or
by flying glass.
When the occupants of the two sleep
ing cars saw that nothing could be done
TO check the flames they aided the train
men in. pushing back the unchanged
cars.
Communication was opened with the
Pueblo office of the railroad from Port
land, mile from the wreck, and re-
lief train with physicians was dispatched
to the wreck. The injured were placed
in the sleeping cars and brought to Pueb-
10 with the passengers of the eastbound
train who were unhurt. Another relief
train came from Florence to take away
the uninj portion of the eastbound
train.
1t is impossible to determine the exact
number of dead on account of the incin-
Grafton of many bodies The number
of victims burned is said to be at least
20. The railroad officers asserted that
only IS persons were killed.
The monetary damage to railroad prop
erty is 100000. In addition to this
much baggage and mail were destroyed.
One of the pathetic tragedies of the
disaster was the wiping out of all but
two of the family of Taylor Hewitt, of
Lebo, Kan. Father, mother, daughter,
grandchild and the wives of the sons are
missing. The two sons-E. A. Hewitt
and w. L. Hewitt-are among the in
jured in the hospitals here, each of them
having leg fractures in addition to other
injuries.
Two victims of the wreck were Dep
uty Sheriff Edward Baird, of Denver,
and Archibald Whitney, "a prisoner
whom Baird was taking to the peniten-
tiary at Canon City The office was kill
ed instantly. Whitney was burned to
death. But for the shackles on his wrists
he could have escaped.

HOLD ALL MIDDlEs ON A LEVEL.

spiracy.

Washington, D. c., (SpeciaD Mid
shipnen at Annapolis have been con-
spring to prevent high standard of
scholarship, according to the statement of
Secretary Bonaparte before the House
Committee on Naval Affairs. Brilliancy
has been discouraged and a sort or trade
union agreement to hold all midshipmen
on dead level, SO far as class records
are concerned, has been in existence, so
the Secretary of the Navy told the com
mittee
There has been tendency to place the
man who barely passes on a plane with
those having higher records, and anything
like superior records has been discour-
aged.
: Secretary Bonapar+e said that recent
order for the graduation in September
of the members of the senior class who
have good averages and holding the
others until six months later had already
affected the combination against high
grades and improved class records.
The Secretary of the Navy also dis
cussed hazing at length, and objected
to amendments to his antihazing bill in
the. Senate which provides that midship-
men may be tried before court martial for
hazing upon their own petition. He said
this would be fatal to discipline and
urged the passage of his bill for gradu-
ated punishment without amendment.
