President. William II. HuffOrd of Della
ware county: secretary, H f. Jones Of
Lake county, treasurer, II. c. Daugher-
ty of Madison county. After the meet
ing it was said that about seventeen
county recorders We're in attedance, and
that the meeting was preliminary to a
meeting that will be called later. No
definite action was taken yesterday, it
was said, and the chief matter that
came up for discussion was in connec-
tion with fees.
1t was explained that there is a diff
ference in fees Charged by various re-
corders and 1t is the desire to have
these feesmore nearly uniform through
la better understanding of the laws
governing them. 1t was said by some
of the recorders also that there is con
siderable dissatisfaction over the mat
tier of salaries. as there has been no
increase for a number Of years. al
though the work and the responsible
ties have increased considerably. II
was said that no decision of any kind
was reached as to what action should
be taken. but that this would be
brought up at a later meeting. and that
It was the intention to collect statistics
that might be of value in having the
present laws relating to fees and sal
aries amended. 1t was claimed that
there was no connection between tht
meeting of the recorders and the meet
/ ing the preceding day of the county

Not far from the Chicago Terminal

marsh land of peat formation. It is
covered with ashes and is about a quar-
ter of a mile long. On it's surface it
gives no Indication of the fierce con-
tiagration raging below. Little Miss
Holland was recurring to the Piper
home after walk in the field and sup
posing the ground beneath the ashes
was solid at least, she started across
the peat bed. Before she had gone but
few steps her right foot sank into
burning mush hole.
Screams for Help.
The girl lost her balance and sank in
deeper while the flesh on her foot siz
zled and burned. She screamed for aid
but there was none in sight and by a
desperate effort dragged herself out OF
the hole BY this time help arrived
and the little girl was carried to the
Piper home where her wounds were
dressed by a physician.
The police and fire departments were
summoned and a lead of hose was
turned on the burning peat which is
said to be on fire to a depth of ten oil
fifteen feet.

UNSIGHTLY POLES
WILL HAVE TO 60
Street Car and Gas Compa-
MES Make an Amicable
Agreement This Noon.
FORTY-THREE TO Be CUT OUT
Compromise Results in Beautifying
Business Part of the City to
No Small Degree.

The first step toward ridding the
business district of Hammond from un-
slightly and unnecessary guy poles was
taken this morning when the board
of public works brought the gas com
pany and the street car company to-
gether to use joint poles upon which
the companies will string their wires
jointly.
with by that agreement in the district
from Oakley on State street to Morton
court and from the Erie tracks on
Holman street to Fayette street
The arrangement grows out of a
compromise that has been effected be-
tween the board of public works and
the street car company on account of
the double crossing that the street
car company was to lay over the rail-
road tracks on State street. The city
was in a position to force the street
car company to lay double crossings
across these tracks, an improvement
that would have improved the city
little and possibly interfered with the
traffic. The double tracks could be
laid by the street car company at an
expense of several thousand dollars
and while the city was not very anxious
to see the double crossings it felt that
iexempting the street car company from
one track that the city should be shown
a favor in return.
A Satisfactory Arrangement.
! The East State street property own
ers were satisfied that the street car
company install iron poles from Oakley
lavenue to Holman street to offset the
street car company's exemption, but the
board of public works and some of the
council thought this was not enough
and insisted upon more iron poles.
! The street car company threatened to
put in a double crossing and so the
administration and the company lay ir
deadlock for several weeks. Some
thing had to be done. however, and sc
yesterday the plan adopted today was
hit upon.
Some Iron Poles.
1t will undoubtedly prove a salts
factory arrangement as it removes
forty three eye-sores from the business
district The agreement further stip-
ulates that wherever a joint pole I:
not feasible that the street car com
pany erect iron poles.
The street car company has a sub
IsiGiary agreement with the South Shore
Gas & Electric company by which th'
light company set "A Of the 43 poles

The following taken from the

applied to North Dakota:
There is a Latin expression
which runs "verbum sapienti''
which, being translated, means "a
word to the wise" A word to the
wise now is that the republican
party of Minnesota does not need
doctors, nostrums and self-ap-
pointed revivalists, but rest, good
food and cheerful companlonship.
It is not a time for setting up
pins" for selecting "headliners''
for another campaign. This has
been tried. 1t has not worked.
The thing to do now is give the
natural recuperative powers of the
party a chance to do their appoint

The Primary Law.

North Dakotans possess one, sec
ond hand, slightly damaged, mad
equate, statewide primary election
law. The results at the recent
election are conclusive proof that
under it's provisions the dominant
party cannot elect a governor.
It also discloses that what was
left of the senatorial provisions of
the primary law cannot be used by
the voters-even under the explicit
injunction and warning of the state
supreme court.
In the senatorial contest dem
ocrats gave the state supreme court
the merry ha ha and voted for the
republican candidates for the SEN
atorship. They did this in such
open defiance and in such numbers
that the supreme court can scarcely
overlook the sitnation-if the mat
ter is brought to their attention.
If the supreme court is unable
to uphold its own rulings it must
be admitted that a state of anarchy
exists. The court used language
that permits of no misoonception.
The democrats who violated the
order Of the courts must be guilty
of a kind of near-contempt and
probably subject to indictment for
their action.
The Forum believes the senate
rial endorsement-be democratic
manipulation-has been SO fraud
ulent and illegal that it does. not
carry out the wishes of the people
nor the intent Of the primary
law.
The failure Of the primary law
on the senatorial matter is SO CO.

 AT JUNEAU

Mrs. Mary E. Hart, who arrived up from Juneau this morning says that nearly all last week the channel be- tween Juneau and Douglas island was frozen over; that steamers had difficulty in breaking through the ice sheet which formed almost as quickly as broken and was. found solid each of several mornings in succession. She says the like has never been known before and is ex- plained by the absence of the Taku wind which usually blows there with such regularity in winter. They have had plenty of snow and slush recent ly but not the gales which blew ear Her in the season.
