Bad Blaze on SATURDAY Night
Did Considerable Damage
to the Structure.

Fire discovered in bath room on
the second floor Of the st. Demands
Urusline academy ON Saturday night
at $3.50 o'clock at one time threatened
the complete destruction Of the struc-
ture. Only the efficient work Of the
Grand Forks fire department prevent
ed the entire building from going up
in smoke. and they work from 9:45
o'clock Saturday night until 2 o'clock
Sunday morning.
The blaze was discovered by a
school scholar, who was in her room
in bed. A ray of fire beneath the door
attracted her attention. and investi-
cation resulted in finding the interior
of the bath room a fiery furnace. A
call for the fire department was at
once sent in, and In the meanwhile
efforts were made to extinguish the
rapidly growing blaze.
Failing in this, attention was direct
ed to the children, and the forty
young people in the building were
quickly removed to the boiler room,
which is in separate building. None
of them were In the least injured, and
shortly afterward they were removed
to homes of Grand Forks people.
The fire department put three
streams of water In at once, and until
O'Clock, these lines were busy. From
that time until z O'clock Sunday morn
ing, one line was being used.
The blaze was one Of the, hardest to
fight that the fire department has ever
had to contend with. The upper por-
ton Of the structure is divided into
many rooms, and the fire fighters no
sooner had the fire out in one, that it
would break forth anew in another
one. After several hours of the hard
est kind of work, the fire was gotten
under control. -
The fire was confined to the upper
section of the building. The roof over
the chapel section fell in, and that part
of the building is a total wreck. the
first floor and the basement were un-
touched by fire, but there is from two
to six inches of ice covering them.
The contents of the building are al
most wholly destroyed.
The building was in first-class con-
dition, having been but recently re-
paired, following a serious blaze dur
ing the summer. It was constructed
twenty-four years ago, and was Il
brick structure. 1t was worth in the
neighborhood of $4,000 or $4,000,
and the exact amount of the loss is
hard to ascertain, Superior Mother
stanislaus not wishing to give out any
figures.
There was $4,000 insurance on the
building, and $1,000 insurance on the
contents.

LAW AFFECTING THE
PAYMENT OF
PREMIUMS
Said That Bill Will be Intro
duced Into the Legislature
This Winter.

Insurance Commissioner E. G. Coop
er believes that during the session of
the legislature this winter, a bill will
be introduced relative to the payment
of premiums on fire insurance policies.
During the last few months, several
managers of North Dakota concerns
have spoken to Mr.. Cooper of the mat
ter, they suggesting that law should
be passed providing that unless the
premium on mutual policy was paid
on or before thirty days from date of
It's issue, by payment in actual cash,
or by the giving of an unconditional
promissory note for the amount of the
premium, then and in that event the
policy should be void, and should so
remain until payment was made.

which the financial loss resulting to
the widow through the death of the
member is distributed over and borne
by the remainder of the membership.
They are business institutions and
must be handled upon business prin-
ciples; their liabilities are SO enor-
nous that any other theory invites in
solvency and ruin; the principles of
insurance are plain, clear cut and
distinct; the insurance society is not
a creator, nor does it enhance values;
it merely pays out to the individual
the contributions received from the
many; 1t has no income save the pre-
miums paid by those who carry insur-
ance; each member must compensate
the society for the risk he imposes up
on it; If he does not so do, some one
else must make the payment or the
society becomes bankrupt; the risk
imposed upon the society by each
member is and can be readily deter
mined from the mortality tables and

ALBERT DUGGAN BROKE ARM
Boy Took Tumble From Skis and
Injured Arm Above the
Wrist.

Albert, the 13-year-old son of DR..
F. j. Duggan, had the misfortune to
break his arm Saturday afternoon
while attempting to jump with pair
of skis. The accident occurred on the
river bank below the Northern Pacific
depot. The arm was set Immediately
and no serious complications are ex-
pected. However, as it was the right
arm that suffered the accident, the
boy will be unable to attend school
for some time.
The break occurred just above the
wrist.

ing temperance sentiment. The
amount of alcohol in it is small,
and people feel no evil consequences
of its use. There is growing sem
timent that temperance is surer and
better promoted by the development
of taste for mild drinks than by
prohibition laws. Beer seems to be
best adapted for this purpose. AL

the purpose also, and most excellent

AMERICAN DRINKING HABITS
A Large Increase in the Use of Bot
tied Beer.

Washington. d. c., March h.
Oficials of the internal revenue bu-
reau say that the people of this
country are largely increasing their
consumption of American bottled
beers. When asked why this is, they
attribute 1t to greatly increased
family use of this beverage. Further
more. they look upon 1t with favor
as conducting to temperance.
1T is a matter of widespread note"
said this Official, that the consump-
ton of beer is increasing at great
rate, while the consumption of strong
drinks is decreasing, compared to in

the big increase in consumption OF
bottled beers is due to several causes.

much to lose. Nevertheless, It is con-
sidered strange that Immediately af-
ter his visit to the white house when
he predicted all sorts OF gloomy
things to the president, he should go

thereupon a mild panic breaks over
Wall street and sweeps all prices
down before it.
Roosevelt Not Frightened.
If the Wall street manipulators
have any Idea they can frighten the
president by a purely stock panic
they have missed their guess most
woefuily. The general railroad and
corporation policy of the administra-
ton. It can be asserted upon good
authority, is not in any way depen-
dent on stock market prices. Il is
more than likely that the president,
in common with a good many other
men, has no special objection to see
ing the water squeezed out OF some
of tile so-called railroad Securities. 3"
The administration is engaged in
no crusade against the railroads nor
against the corporations Mr.. Nor
gans visit to the white house will
not. it is believed, materially alter
the policy of President Roosevelt.
That policy can best be discovered by
an examination of his public mes
sages and speeches. He believes the
railroadc are entitled to square deal
and he will not be a party to any cru
SADIE against them. AT the same time,
he believes the people are entitled
to fair rates without determinations
as between a small shipper ana a
large one. p" asA
The presidents policy as far as 1t
can be outlined does not lnvo.ye any

Do Your Chores Early.

A great many farmers put off doing
chores to about the last thing of the
day and then have to work way into
the night. During winter chores
should be considered a part of the
days work and not an extra. No
farmer should ever attempt doing
days work and then after supper be
compelled to labor two or three hours
of the time he should be resting. The
time to do chores is during the day
Of course all the chores cannot be
done with day light, but there is a
larger portion that can II properly

ter make it a rule to commence our
chores at four o'clock in the afternoon
and then by supper time the chores
are practically done. After supper
about all that is left is to go around
and see that everything is all right
for the night. 1t then gives us good

can do this only by managing their

INQUIRIES

A Puyallup reader asks for informa
ton in regard to drying and evapor-
ating berries We have talked with
two or three parties who have made ii
a business to raise berries, but flnd
they have not gone into the drying and
evaporating business on scale SUI
ficient to warrant them in giving ao'
vice. During the time of the craze
for drying products FOR the Alashd
trade some eight or ten years ago Der
ries were successfully dried at FuYal-
lup and Sumner and no doubt some
of the old residents there can tel
in detail how the work was done. u
our correspondent will make inquiry
there through some Of the pioneer
fruit growers he is very likely to get
the desired information. We can name
M. O. Hernlow, of Ellensburg, as an
authority on such matters as the pres
ervation of fruits and If our Puyallup
friend will write to him, Mr.. HernloW
will no doubt aid him. Dried berries
command high prices in the east, and
those who intend to go into the bust
ness would find it best to use the firm
black varieties for the purpose.
subscriber in Harmony, Wash,
asks what has become OF the Belgian
hare industry, that had such soaring
boom in California about eight or
ten years ago. He sees the animals
quoted at 12k cents a pound in the
Seattle market reports, but he finds no
advertisements of breeders OF Belg-
ians. This industry has gone the way
of all things that "have been" The
