Fire Destroys Farm House

Last week news reached Langdon
friends of the burning of the home of
Robert Miller who lives four miles north
of Snowflake, just across the line in
Manitoba. From the account at hand
it is learned the fire occurred about four
o'clock Monday afternoon. The son,
Bert, and his wife were away visiting in
Winnipeg. MIR. Miller, Sr, and his
neice. Miss Myrtle, drove into Snowflake
in the afternoon to do some shopping.
When they returned they found the
home and contents d smoking pile of
ashes According to the opinion of
neighbors who appeared earlier on the
scene, the fire would appear to have
started in the kirchin. Less than year
ago the home had been refurnished and
painted throughout Rich carpets,
choice furniture and high class piano
all fell prey to the flames. MIR. Miller
and Uis famil, are relatives of the
Gordons and Irwins, north of Langdon,
and we'll known to many Langdon people

Farmers rarely gain by keeping then
grain after it is lit for the market, wher
shrinkage is taken into account, says ar
exchange. Wheat from the time it il
i threshed, will shrink two quarts to the
bushel or six per cent III six months, il
\ the most favorable circumstances
/ Hence it follows that "a cents bushe
for wheat when threshed is as good Al

This estimate is taken ou lhe basis u

St. Patrick's Day Concert.

st. Patrick's Day concert, given in aid
OF st. Alphonsus church on Tuesday
evening was great success. Those
among the audience of Irish descent
must have had their love for the beauti-
full green isle' of their forefathers re-

the stereopticon views of Ireland were
thrown on the screen. The views were
very beautiful, and one could see from
them how appropriate is the name
"Emerald Isle Father Dougherty
made this part of the entertainment very
interesting and instructive by explana-
tory remarks of each picture as it ap-
peared. The program is appended be-
low, and Langdon has cause to feel
proud of the local talent which con-
tributed to its success. The old time
favorites, Judge H. q. Dorval and F. w.
Bleakley, received enthusiastic encores,
as also did Mr. Kalkbrenner for his hne
cornet solo. The piano-forte playing of
: Mesdames Mugan and Price was greatly
appreciated, especially the solo "Irish
Diamonds by the first named lady
The soloists were all good and their rem
derlng of OLD favorite songs gave great
pleasure. The Kerry Dance by the sex

vocal part of the programme, which only
lacked the presence of harp and few

and "The Harp that Once Through

Tree Raising
With House Moving Fixtures
W. II. Waters is Raising
Large Cedars

Raising trees with jack
screws is a success. w. H.
Waters has a number of
mature sized cedars about
his mansion that he wants
in another location and is
having a force of men raise
and move them the same as
houses are moved. Last
fall they were dug around
down deep, leaving several
tons of earth about the roots
of each tree. Now that the
roots are frozen in this mass
of dirt, jack screws and
timbers are being used to
raise tree and all in the
hope of not injuring it.
The experiment will be
worth watching.
