Famed by a high breeze the flames

soon a score of business houses had
caught fire. The only pump in the

was rendered worthless and the citi-

There is considerable excitement

silver has been discovered on the land
of G. H. McDermott, passenger con-

Mr.. McDermott had drill driven
down forty feet and sent samples to
an assayer in Denver, who, after a
thorough test, reported back that
while there was both gold and silver
in the samples submitted it was not in
sufficient quantities to pay for mining
it. McDermott and his neighbors be-
lieve that if the drill is sent down a
few hundred feet it will strike vein
of pay ore.
Settlers around Embarrass have but

will now dispose of their holdings at

there is precious metal on their land

KEEP THE RECORD STRAIGHT.

ST see that Mr.. Jacobson in his
the father in Minnesota of the laws
giving to the producers and shippers
of this state an open market" said an
old time Minnesota legislator. II Mr..
jacobson has no more foundation for
his other claims to a record than he
has in this instance he would better
retire from the stump at once. AS a
matter of fact laws giving farmers
organizations and individuals the
right to build warehouses and ele-
vators on railroad right of way and
also to load cars on track were passed
at the sessions of 1885 and 1897.
These bills were pushed by such men
as H. G. Stordock, Charles Canning,
Hans P. Bjorge, at present candidate
on the Democratic ticket for railway
and warehouse commissioners. and
were backed by the influence of the
Farmers Alliance. Mr.. Jacobson did
not appear on the scene until 1889
and his main fight was in way to
restrict the free and open market of
the producer by increasing the license
of these elevators and in creating an
Office styled Supervising Inspector of
Local Elevators a position purely po-
litlcal and absolutely of no value to
the shipper. This gives an idea of the
value of his influence in securing an
| open market.
| I'm this connection l would suggest
that under the present system of state
| grain inspection these departments
are supervised and controlled by the
railroad and warehouse commission
| and all inspectors and weighers are
appointed by them. Not one member
of this commission is a practical grain
/ grower or shipper. 1t is a political
/ department pure and simple and it
seems peculiar to me that the grain
growers of the state are satisfied to
permit the continuance of existing
conditions. OF course, if they are sat.
isfied, nothing further can be said;
but I would remind them that in the
person of Hon. Hans P. Bjorge of OF
ter Tail county, the Democratic nom.
inee for the position of railroad and
warehouse commissioner, as said be-
