THIS MORNINGS
fire AT ARGYLE,
Fr. Tapin's Residence Badly Dam.
aged. Brave Fire Laddies
Prevent Total Loss

A special report to the Sheaf tells
OF fire occurring in the residence of
Rev. Father Tapin, in charge of the
Catholic church, St. Rose de Lima,
at Argyle, this moring, Jan. 4th
1906. The occupants had been at
early morning service, and the house
keeper, Mrs. Dupont, was the first to
discover the fire. She immediately
gave the alarm and the volunteer
lire department. responded promptly.
The lire had started from the fur
mace in the basement and ran up
inside PARTITION wall, to the living
rooms where it broke out into the
fireplace and from there entered the
wall again and went on up. The
joists and flooring was so badly burned
that they would not carry mans
weight. Furniture, books and pic
lures were damaged by smoke and
scorching, causing a loss OF 81, 500 or
$4,000.
The alarm was given at about g AS
this morning and in six minutes the
volunteers fire company had hose
laid six blocks and water turned on
the fire. They not only made re-
cord for speed but they did work at
the fire that called for the highest
commentator The great headway
the tire Vad when discovered. the diff
ticulty OF locating it and the dense
smoke and heat, made it a terribly
hard matter to handle. One of the
fireman, Haakon Hedquist, stuck to
his post until overcome and had to be
carried out by his comrades and TAX
en- home. The danger Of entering
the burning building on account of
the burning floors made things more
difficult. But the boys were heroic
and by their efforts subdued the
blaze and prevented what would
otherwise undoubtedly have been a
total loss.
While everyone deplores the damage
caused to building and contents and
the inconvenience caused Father
Tapin's household, they, at the
same time admire the brave work of
the fire boys. The insurance is
reported at $4,000.

FEEDING OFF CROPS

The scarcity Of help in much of the
corn growing section Of the west is
bringing about a method Of feeding
the corn off in the field, many feeders
OF cattle and sheep having adopted this
method with very great satisfaction
and success. Near where the write,
now lives thousands of acres of corr
were harvested last fall by steers an6
sheep, with a minimum Of waste. The
most satisfactory results where this
plan Is followed is where about two
pounds of rape seed are scattered over
the cornfield at the time Of the last cul-
tivation, this rape affording an excel.
lent addition to the ration of the stock
so fed. The appearance of a field so
fed of Is decidedly gratifying to the
owner. He has been saved the labor
and bother Of husking the corn, the
field has been cleaned up in perfect
shape, and valuable amount Of fer
tilizing has been given to the land for
the benefit of future crops. It may be
said that his method looks slovenly,
but the end justifies the means, every
farmer now being compelled to devise
ways and means Of getting along with
out the help which it is impossible for
him to secure. This method Of feed
ing crops off on the land is very COM
mon in England-in fact, is the only
method used in feeding the enormous
crops Of turnips there raised. We look
to see this method grow in favor and
come into quite general use wherever
stock is being fed and prepared for the
market.
There is hardly a spot on the conh-
nent where in any unsettled part it is

OIL DISCOVERED

Eastern Capitalists Have Option

What will certainly change the
commercial aspect in the Red River
valley and put another big industry

the result OF the discovery of oil and
gas in the section of the county, east

land in that section. The discovery
was made last summer but nothing

the fortunate people and since that
time they have been on a still hunt
getting options on the entire town.
ship. They have had their agent
working in that country the entire
winter and they doubtless have at
the present time the desired option.
In just what manner the oil was
discovered has not been made public
out the eastern capitalists undoubt-
edly are certain and have made all
the required tests to assure them
Uhat there are rich oils in the earth
IN that section. They are at the
present time waiting to get options
on more land in that section and it
is understood that when they get it
the machinery will be shipped at
once to start operations. It would
not pay them to start till they had
enough land to assure them of a
money making proposition. 1t has
been positively stated that the entire
outfit is now ready to be shipped and
Will start just as soon as more options
on land are secured. Evidently there
are some in that section that think
that they have a good thing and will
hang on till the price is boosted.
There are some who have offered to
sell the land but wish to retain the
mineral t privileges which is Just

1t is certain that the land is not
being bought for agricultural purpos-
es as it is. generally known that that
section will grow nothing more than
stones which all goes to substantiate
the theory that there is oil and gas
in that section as it is of little value
for anything else. The company is
represented by reliable people in An
gus and there is little doubt but in
the near future that another great
industry will be added to the MANY
resources of the Red River Valley.
That the soil in some places has to a
certain extent been exhausted has
been said and in those sections the
news of the discovery of this rich
mineral will be the most welcome
kind of news, for undoubtedly there
is more than one spot in this section
that contains it, and from now or
people will be on the watch out fo1
the greasy stuff. Not until next
summer when the active operations
are started will the public be able tt
know the extent of the deposit anc
the value of it. The general appear
ance of the country where the oi
was discovered has all the sea
marks' of other places where tn,
same product has been discovered.
The outcome of the operation
which will be started next summe:
will be awaited with interest by tn,

Common Things.

Common Things.
Twas just a cloud,
In the clear blue sky;
But l felt thrill of pleasure,
When I saw it floating by.
Twas just flower,
A common flower
Blooming by the way;
But it gave charm to duty
Thru all that summer day.
Twas just a bird,
A little bird
Thrilling forth it's song:
But it changed the purpose of life
Kept soul from doing wrong.
The little thing,
The common thing,
Each has it's God-given place
Each gives it's little all to cheer
And bless the human race.

Raritan Cement Stone ManufaC-
turing & Contracting Company
Making Rapid Strides.

The new cement stone concern.
the Raritan Cement Stone Manufact-
uring q Contracting Company, at Is
tombstone street, is already making
rapid strides in the local and sub
urban trade. They hold the rights
for this part of the state for the man
ufacture and sale of granolite, which
they claim to be the perfect artificial
stone, and they have orders for much
of it. 1t is being used to finish off J.
x. ~Jensen's new -four family house
on Paterson street.
Their product is made from GEM
ent and sand; and gravel is used
when the stone is to go underground.
The claims made for this artificial
stone include low cost, large COM
parative proportion of strength of
granite or stone. immunity from
harm by weather and their ability to
make it in any design. They are
aiming more particularly for orna-
mental work and also for sidewalks,
as it is believed, they can make stone
for walks that can be laid in the
coolest weather. They were so busy
recently that for some time the en-
ployes worked late nightly. Blocks

thirty-siX inches. 1t is easier for
stone masons to lay this than to lay
ordinary stone, as this is made so
that a space is left at the sides for
the maSon'S fingers when the stone
is resting on its outer edges. 1t is
also claimed that a building can be
put up quicker with this than with
ordinary stone. In making it it can
be given a smooth face or a rough
rock face or a machine rock face,
which is smoother. Frame buildings
can be covered with this cement
stone. as some is made for that pur-
pose one inch thick with hooks to be
fastened on staples driven into the
wood, the voids being filled in with
cement. Among the building artic-
les and forms into which the cement
stone or granolite can be made are
window stills, coping, steps, l%intels,
