Was the EARLE Fed?

At the opening OF the campaign
when Marshall Mcclure started
the Eagle, he said that it would
not scream unless fed. From
two items published in the Minot
Optic OF Monday, one would be
lead to think that Macs Eagle
had "holler" coming:
ABOUT THE "LOOTNG."
The Eagle happens to know
that Alaska was never looted by
anyone. 1t happens to know
that Mckenzie and his associates
lost nearly a million dollars in
trying to establish a system of
machinery OF the hydraulic pres
sure class. 1t is true that there
was an opposing company COM
posed OF San Francisco capital
lists who were heavily interested
fifty-six columns of live advertis-
ing matter. This is a remarkable
pace and speaks exceedingly well
for the business men. The Inde-
pendent is a business getter.

this office and our advertising

Doesn't Want Assistance.

An action will soon be CON-
menced in which State 8 Attorney
MCGEE in behalf of Ward county,
will appeal from Judge Goss' de-
cision in which Commissioner
Carroll and Richardson were re-
moved from office, but in which
Commissioner Black was vindi-
Gated. MCGEE hopes to secure
the removal of Black. At the
last session of the county COM
missioners, Commissioner Alb
bott made a motion that Atty.
Gray and Wineman, who assisted
in the prosecution OF the COM
missioners when two of them
were removed, be hired by the
county to assist in this appeal.
According to the Statutes this
cannot very well he done without
the consent of the States Attor-
ney who violently exclaimed when
the resolution was made CPL be
d if I'll give my consent to
it," Swanson declared the mo-
ton lost. Other steps will be
taken to secure these attorneys
to assist Mr.. MCGEE.

HAVE SALARIES RAISED
Council Passes House Movers
Ordinance at First Reading
Must Secure License, Permit,
and Give Bond.

The City Fathers met at Mayor
Greenleafs Office Monday even
ing and talked over Things in
general. The councilmen are
taking great interest in the vel
fare Of the city and should re-
ceive the credit which they SO
highly deserve. It's hard work
to meet night after night and
settle questions OF great moment
especially when the Job is a
s'thank YOU one, and sometimes
they are not even thanked.
The house movers ordinance
was passed at it's first reading.
The ordinance provided for the
licensing OF house movers, and
also that the movers shall put
up an approved bond to the city
before a building can be moved.
All moving must be done on a
permit, and the council reserves
the right to map out the route
over which the mover goes. At
no time shall he stop traffic Tor
more than three hours.
The hearts of our police were
made glad when the council voted
to raise the salary OF the Chief
to a thousand dollars a year and
that of the patrolmen to $50
per month.

Set the Pace.

The Independent made eight
new advertising contracts last
week. We still have room for
more. We don't like to ask a
business man to advertise wi, b
us thru charity. but would like
to have him look at the PROPOSE
tion on a business basis. A bust
ness man seldom advertises in a
newspaper that he does not re-
ceive q good profit over what his
advertisement costs. Last week
the Independent printed forty
columns OF reading matter with
in a similar project in Alaska.
Both companies could not con-
troll the same territory and as a
result the Mckenzie company,
being the weaker, was driven
from the "diggins.'' By a pro.
cess OF law and unjust acc,1sa.
tions, Mckenzie was landed in

Refuses to Dip Cattle.

NJ. j. Warner, a big rancher,
was in Minot Wednesday looking
for the county commissioners.
He reports that one rancher who
has 800 cattle refuses to dip
them, and at the same time al
lows them to mix with surround
ing herds, which have been dipped.
This is contrary to the law, and
the cattle will either have to be
quarantined or dipped, and we
believe that the county can com.
pei the rancher to give them a
dipping according to law. Mr..
Warner believes that it's hardly
fair for undipped cattle to run
with others, especially when the
county bought SO much sulphur
for the purpose of Kidding the
cattle of scabbies.

The State Machine of South
Dakota was given a terrible
drubbing at the primaries last
week, just like the clicking the
Hansbrough-M Mckenzie machine

4 Terrible Lesson

The devastation OF the fire in San
Francisco, the horror, the aWfulness
OF the catastrophe. has been told again
and agaiu most graphically by pen and
pencil. The sympathy Of the world
has been aroused.
No one can at all appreciate the eX-
tent the completeness of the CestruC-
ton however, who has not view ed the
awful wreck from on top OF ono OF the
citv's many hills OF has painfully made
his way over alternate crevices and
hears OF debris throughout its 200
blacks OF waste, extending over nearly
twelve square miles OF territory. and
comprehendlng night unto 1000 build
ings IN It's ruins!
MANY lessons can be learned from
that fire Particularly the lesson OF
proper construction.
The term "tireprOof" has long been
abused. mis5pplied, and people are be-
ginning 20 look upon Il as a misnO-
mer. a deIusion. and a snare. Archi-
tects have gotten into the habit Of
building their floor construction, parti-
tons. and protecting steel work OF
their tall buildings with hollow tile

OF re-euforced OF other kinds of con-
crete. They term that a hreproof

But then they go on and build the

The Really Ere-proof Building

The people have seen that where the
interior trimming and doors were OF

easily confined. and it must be patent

details. found in san Francisco in dif-
ferent buildings. were assembled in
one structure. that structure would be
absolutely invulnerable and would

things they have been dTeadfully slow

build sanely. There has been much
preaching, much ink used iu the tech

many architects particularly, have
been deaf and blind 10 all appeals TO

In the better construction felt hopeful
that II would have its effect upon the
country And il did awaken some
building departments into formulating
more stringent rules-that already are
weIl-nigh forgotten-but the Lesson
seemed not hard enough TO maze il
impressive.
Now, then. comes the horror OF San
Franciscos destruction with not only
the results Of poor building again
made manifest but, fortunately, as IN
no other confagration, the various
means of successfully combating the
evil conspicuously demonstrated Up

they could build "a really ire-proof

T He YANKEE has made
himself "a reputation for
lonE-hcadcduCss " h i h
reaches around the world.
He takes a lot of chances.
but as rule he's not
averse to playing a sure thing. Yet
n the carefully compiled figures OF
the international Society OF Building
Inspectors De examined showing the
actual worth of good wood. iron, and
brick. and whatever else IS used TO
complete the modern building. which
IS totally destroyed by fire each year,
the Yankee seems 10 have overlooked
a large bet.
For fl appears that IN the normal
year-which does not include great
confagratiOns like those Of San Fran
cisco and Baltimore and Chicago, no
less than S200. .001 900 worth OF property
goes up I'm smoke in the United States.
And when it goes up in smoke it's
gone. just ss much as though a giar
had filled nis pipe with million dollar
notes and puffed them away. For
though these buildings which are de
stroyed by fire may be covered by in
surance and the owners will get back
their money, sim the actual materials
are destroyed.
Now where the Yankee overlooks L
big bet is I'm not making himself
buildings which will not burn. The
American public has heard so much
about fireproof buildings which have
