FIRE INSURANCE RATES.

The Echo has in the past
called attention to the need Of
having this town re rated by the
fire insurance companies doing
business here.
Within the past eighteen
months conditions have changed
to such an extent that if the
basis rate was just a year and a
half ago it is altogether too high
now. The danger of loss from
fire has been lessened by the ex-
tension of six inch water mains
to the business portion and four
inch mains to the residence por-
ton of the town. Then too,
there have been put in the bust
ness section of the town some
half dozen fire hydrants OF the
standard pattern and the town
is also supplied with some 500
to 1000 feet of fire hose which is
kept convenient for use in case
of an outbreak of fire. In addi-
ton to this four brick buildings
have been erected in the bust
ness section that serve as a
buffer to prevent the spread OF a
confagration.
Recently this matter was taken
up by some Of the local agents
and Mr.. J. B. Adams tells US
that within a short time an as
sociation surveyor will be here
TO make a special rating for the
entire town. A very material
reduction ought to be and nc
doubt will be made in view OF
the changes for the better that
have taken place here within
the past eighteen months.

free planting In kansas.

In Kansas where the government has
set aside 60. 600 acres as tree reserve,
TIE work of the tree planters is begin
ming to yield definite returns. The
forestry station at Dodge City gives
away trees at the rate of SOC, 900 year
and since the establishment Of the sta
ton there has been a remarkable
change in climatic conditions. There
are fewer billiards on the one hand
and there is much less suffering on the
other from The hot winds that former
Is did tremendous havoc to the crops.
The saving in cattle and in crops
alone, without regard to other phases
OF the work has more than justified the

Modern Farming.


s.. Thirty years ago threshing time
was one Of the most strenuous occa-
sions that came to the farmers an-
nual experience and was something
that was dreaded as much by the
women folks of the house as the farm
5er himself, as 1t required two or three
days to thresh the average crop, with
is and 20 men and as many teams
to be fed and housed, and the stacks
of fried chicken and apple pie that
disappeared during these days was
some thing wonderful to behold This
is now all changed. The threshing
crew come down the road with their
whole outfit en- train. pull in along
side ofsthe stacks and In ten minutes
are at work, and no one is surprised
If they are threshing ten bushels a
minute. The sfeayes being fed auto
matically, the threshed grain runs Dis
rectly into the farmers wagons, the
straw being stacked automatically,
taking away most Of the laborious
and dirty part Of the work Of the old
times. and for the average farmer one
day cleans up the whole Job, and the
thresher has moved ON to the next
setting Export implement Age.

northwest which is being waged
between J. j. Hill and the
officials Of the 500 road. Ever
since the 500 entered North
Dakota there has been war to

new lines through what had
previously been exclusive Great
Northern territory and the Great
Northern extending its branches
to meet the competition. When
the 500 constructed its branch
line from Thief River Falls to
Kenmare it cut into territory
which was rapidly building up
and from which the Great
Northern was deriving rich
profits. AS one railroad official

five miles of it for the entire
distance from Valley City to
the boundary line. It Will pass
through Cass, Barnes, Griggs,
Foster, Eddy, Wells, Benson,
Pierce, McHenry and Ward
counties. This is a rich farm
ing country and the business
from this territory has hereto
fore gone almost entirely to the
500. With the completion of the
new line it will be necessary for
practically all Of the farmers on
the east side Of the 500 track to
cross the Great Northern tracks
in order to reach the 500, con-
sequently the latter road will
undoubtedly receive the bulk of
the business from this territory.

Too Much Boosting Of Herman and Knocking of Cans

By THOMAS S. RICE.

study OF the reports sent out daily
from the training camps Of Cans and
kid Herman. who are preparing for the
championship lightweight battle, IN
Tonopah. New, on New Year Day, re-
veals a rather peculiar feature.
This is that ever since the men
reached TOn0pah there has been per
sistent and consistent effort 10 boost
the possibilities of Herman winning,
and to correspondingly depreciate Cans
chances. Thousands OF words have
been sent out explaining how easily Her
man has made the weight md gotten
into perfect condition, hdw his boxing
has improved; how he has shown
style of defense exactly suited to toiling
the negro's attack; how he Is absolutely
confident of winning; how he not only
does not fear his opponent, but thinks
he has Cans afraid OF him, etc, etc.
etc, as usual and 10 The limit
Why These Peculiar Reports?
ON the other hand, the stories from
Cans headquarters are 10 the erect
that the champion has had great trouble
in taking on flesh; that the climate does
not agree with him, that the indoor
training has not conditioned aim as
thoroughly as the outdoor work al Cold
Held; that he is spending many OF ms
nights shooting crap, which means that
he has been Tor hours in a smOke-hlled
room and getting his nerves on edge;
how. while he does not say he viii lose,
he appreciates the fact that age may
tell on him; how he does not seem to
have a Knockout punch, etc, etc.
That this boosting of Herman and
sighting of Cans is in accordance with
a welI-dehned plan is apparent on its
face. 1t is plainly part of studied
campaign. The fight fans shrewdly ask;
Why?
In the first place, it is just as Well to
dismiss all suggestions that Cans is
being hammered because of his color.
That has absolutely nothing 10 do with
il. and the reasons are purely financial
Do Not Ring True.
When Cans was at Goldheld preparing
for Nelson there was naturally much
discussion about whether he could make
the weight. and there were legitimate
grounds for going into the matter at
great length. It may be safely said that
% per cent of the sporting au-
thorities OF the country were absolutely
amazed when he fought Nelson forty
two rounds at 1873 riugside. and won.
In the case of this Ton0pah fight, there
is hint all along that Cans viii not
