cr.wford'. Care as a Writer.

Mr.. F. Marion Crawford. we are told,
once agreed to write for the London
Sphere novel with Dante for its
hero. The Harvest of the Sword
was to have been Its title. The letter
which he wrote to Mr.. G.. K Shorter
explaining his failure to fulfill his
promise testifies to his conscientious
care in authorship:

OF course, a low estimate.

stay; aud think what it meansl It means
employment for small army of guides;
it means livelihood for host OF boarding
house and hotel keepers; it means work
for thousands of blackboard drivers and
boatmen; it means a sure and profita bic
market for the produce OF the farms and
vegetable gardens OF the State.
But this is only a small part OF the
story. While the annual expenditures of
the visiting hosts for temporary needs and
comforts amount to an annual income of
100000, the money that comes into the
State for permanent improvements reaches
vastly larger figures. 1t would be futile
to attempt to make an accurate estimate
of the amount OF capital invested by the
summer visitors in the land they buy, the
cottages they build, in road making, in
grading, and in the thousand and one inn
provements which go to make country
place livable and beautiful. The total will
run into the tens of millions, more likely
into the hundreds of millions.l 80
Think for a moment the story this tells
in the matter of employment for carpen-
tiers, bricklayers, stonemasons, plumbers,
painters, paper hangers, for labor of all
kinds; think of the market it makes for
the goods Of the dealers in all kinds of
building material; then add to this the

BAD FIRE At BEACH

Beach, N. D., Sept. 18.-At about
$50 this evening fire broke out in q
clothing store here and within two
hours four business establishments
we're burned to the ground at a loss
Of about $4,000.
The fire was caused by the explo-
sion of gasoline lighting plant and
within few seconds the store was a
mass of flames and beyond control.
Had it not been for a cement block
building standing in the middle of
the block, the entie town might have
been wiped out. With the protection
this building afforded, and by heroic
work on the part of the. volunteer
fire fighters the blaze was brought
under control after several smaller
frame buildings had been dynamited
which stood in the fires path.
The Farmers and Merchants bank
and the Chronicle Office had close
call and were only saved by deter
mined work. The town has no or
ganized fire protection and as soon
as the FIRE broke out word was sent
to the neighboring town of Wibaux
which has an organized company but
the fre was under control before they
arrived.
