DANGER N PRESENT COURSE
Sends Message to Speaker Of
California Assembly.

Washington. Feb. 9.-''The policy Of
the administration is to combine the
maximum Of efficiency in achieving
the real object which the people of
the Pacific slope have at heart. with
the minimum of friction and trouble,
while the misguided men who advo-
cate such action as this against which
! protest are following policy which
combines the very minimum of eff.
cheney with the maximum of insult,
and which, while totally failing to
achieve any real result for good, yet
might accomplish an infinity of
HARM"
In this language President Roose-
velt in q long telegram to Speaker
P. A. Stanton of the California assem-
bly, set forth the governments view
of the anti.Japanese school legislation
now before that body.
The president stated that the bill
gives just and grave cause for irrita-
tion and that the government would
be forced Immediately to take action
in the federal courts to test such ac.
tion as 1t is held to be clearly q viola
ton of the treaty obligations Of the
United States. The telegram to
Speaker Stanton was sent only after
a conference with Senator Flint and
Representative Kahn of California
and F. X. Lane of the interstate COM
merce commission.

He Blankets His Horse.

The man who, however cold and
chilled himself, stops to throw good
warm blanket over his sweating team
before he goes in to warm up, has a
good big heart in him somewhere. To
be sure some do this largely for the
money there is in it-and: there is big
money sometimes in not letting a horse
shiver and chill in an unprotected place
after driving-but as rule, the man
who tries to make it comfortable for
his horse or other stock does it because
there is wide margin between his
inner self and q bare animal. Don't be
afraid Of the man who blankets his
horse these cold days. His family will
generally tell you so. o.-Dakota Farmer.

Whistle and Sing.

I Occasionally whistling hired man is
easy-going and no good, but as rule
give US the fellow that whistles about
his work occasionally for either hired
man or neighbor, There is nothing very
bad about him, and generally there are
many good things.
The sour, fault-finding person who
never sings or whistles and seldom
smiles may be very wise compared with
the ordinary mortal he is forever finding
fault with, but he is unnatural. and has
no good right to live with happy beings.

An accident that might have been a
great deal worse happened at Kilbernie
last Saturday. A 500 freight, was
crossing the bridge at that place when
brakeman Goggins started for the front

throw switch and in someway lost his
hold and fell to the ice about thirty
feet below, breaking both wrists and
sprain,ng his back. A message was
sent to DR.. MaerckIein and he met the
train at Oakes and took Mr.. Goggins to
the hospital where he received prompt
attention. At this time he is doing
nicely.

ANrI-ALIEN LAND MEASURE
Passed by Lower House Of Nevada
Legislature.

Carson. New, Feb. 6.-The Nevada
assembly passed the Giffen anti-alien
land bill, which provides that no
Asiatic. including the Japanese. shall
own land or land mortgages in the
state.
The measure passed in the lower
house Of the legislature without op-
position, but It is believed the senate
by amendments will practically kill
the purposes of the bill so far as 1t
is aimed at the Japanese. Both the
assembly and senate adjourned until

"A BAD FIRE
AT ABERDEEN
Wisconsin House Caught Fire
Tuesday Night, at About
Seven O'clock.
With q Small Amount of Re-
pair the Hotel Will
Reopen.

Such scene of CONSERVATION and
panic has not recently been seen in
this city as that which was caused last
night at the Wisconsin house when the
cry of fire rang through the building.
The house was crowded to its capacity
with storm-bound guests at the time
and great was their fear when closely
following the warning cry came large
clouds of smoke from the back part of
the building. Some Of the guests were
already retiring for the night, though it
was only seven O'Clock, and these,
scantily attired, were forced to rush
with the others out into the wind and
snow to seek quarters as best they
could.
The fire caught in the kitchen and as
the hotel is entirely wooden structure
it seemed impossible that the building
could be saved in the face Of the hard
wind which famed the flames. The
fire department quickly responded to
the call and after some hard fighting
they finally succeeded in getting the
flames under control. Very little dam
age was done from the fire although the
interior and the furnishings suffered
considerably from the water thrown
into the building.
Occasionally there are things happen
which would seem impossible. Such was
the saving of the Wisconsin house last
night. The house is very old and the
wood and lumber dry, and with a heavy
wind to fan the flames, there seemed
no hope. The fire fighters arrived, how.
ever before the confagration had as.
sumed very great proportions and the
hard work on their part won the day.
It seems that the hotel must lead 9
charmed life, for this is about the
tenth time that it has caught fire,
Three times in the past six months has
the fire department been called upon to
save it. And still the building stands
but little the worse for the wear.
More than hundred people were in
the place at the time of the fire but
they were all accommodated at other
hotels in the city. With but small
amount of repair the building will again
be in shape for the hotel to reopen
