Word reached town last Mon
day in the form OF a brief tele-
gram from Cromberg. California,
of the death OF Edgar Carter,
we'll known here. The news was
not complete and we are unable
to state the cause of his demise,
except that as he was working in
a railroad tunnel it is surmised
that II was occasioned by some
deplorable accident The young
m7n was only twenty-three years
old. and leaves a wife and baby
daughter as we'll as the grief
stricken parents to mourn his
loss. Orders have been sent to
ship the remains to this point and
it is expected that the body, ac-
companied by the bereaved wife
and child, will reach Paonia Fri
day or Saturday at the latest. If
this occurs the funeral will be
held on Sunday afternoon. His
death is terrible shock to the
parents, as we'll as many close
friends. The NEWSPAPER extends

The Great Turk and His Lost Provinces.

The Great Turk and His Lost Provinces.
This will be the subject of the
fourth lecture by J. K. Hester
on his Oriental trip. He did
not expect to give this until
the people who heard the series
last week were quite anxious for
him to do SO. This one will be
given in the new Odd Fellows
Hall on the 30 OF March. An
admission of twenty-five cents will
be charged. Won Mollke, the great
German soldier, predicted that the
next great war would be fought
under the walls of Constantinople.
The empire is now ripe for such
a revolution. The eyes OF all the
civilized world are watching the
map tor great changes will occur
as to the position and power of
European nations then. The Turk
and his empire is one of the great
est subjects in modern times.

Before the Washington Legislature.

strain him. but how is it with
corporations2 The stockholders
draw their dividends but do not
take part in the active manage
ment of the corporation; the man
ager acts for the corporation but
is the agent OF someone else. The
stockholders permit anything to
be done that will result in divi
dends, and the manager acting for
others, has no choice but to
grind out all OF the money that
he can. The result is that the
corporation is conducted in a
manner entirely different from
that in which the individual
would conduct his business. !
am speaking, of course. of the
large corporation where the
stockholders do not come into
close touch with the work of the
corporation.
The regulation of railroads is a
question which is now being dis
cussed throughout the union.
Some arc afraid that the railroads
may be injured by regulation;
some oppose all regulation on the
ground that it smacks OF paternal-
ism. Well, we have had a taste
OF infernalism in the management
of our railway corporations, and
we may we'll suspect the man who
talks against control more than
he talks against the abuses which
have grown up among our rail-
roads. Our courts have carried
the doctrine of innocent purchaser
to an extreme, and they insist that
the purchaser of stock in the rail
road must be protected in his
dividends however much water
there may be in the stock, but
there is another innocent pur-
chaser whose rights will, | hope,
be some day respected He is
the man who purchases land along
side the railroad and whose labor
makes the railroad profitable. He
is entitled to consideration be-
cause he is absolutely helpless.
The purchaser of stock on the
market is not helpless. He does
not have to buy the stock unless
he wants to, and he can investi-
gate before he buys. 1t is possible
for him to find out how much water
there is in the stock and whether
the dividends are based upon the
actual worth, but the man who
has land must use the railroad
that is near him, and the fact that
there is one line near him prevents
another line from being built
The time is near at hand for the
protection of the patron of the
road as we'll as the stockholder.
Discrimination and rebates have
bankrupted individuals and COM
munities. but cxtortionate rates
have been even a greater detri-
ment to the country because they
have drained the earnings of the
people into the treasures of the
great railroad systems.

PlNGREE IS SWEPT BY BAD FIRE
Stutsman County Town Suffered $2 LossFre Started
in Livery Stabe-Horses Were Roasted to DEATH

A disastrous fire swept through
Pingree last week. starting in the
Pingree livery stable at 2:O5 a. m.,
and before the hungry flames had
been appeased four of the largest es-
adjustments of the prosperous little
city were RACED to the ground and
nothing left but a smoldering pile of
ashes.
The buildings destroyed were the
livery stable. the Pingree hotel, DR..
Van de Erve's Office and the Pingree
drug store. The loss will amount to
$4,000, partially covered by insur-
ance.
The cause of the blaze is not known.
and when the fire was discovered the
entire south end of the building was
in flames, which spread rapidly to the
remainder of the doomed building.
The walls fell soon after, burying be-
meath the debris thirteen horses.
which were roasted to death in the
holocaust.
Iver Rasmussen. owner of the liv-
cry stable, saved practically nothing
from the establishment, horses, vehi-
cles and harness, besides considerable
hay and feed, being licked up by the
fire.
