u. S. CREAMERY
INSPECTOR IN N. D,
JOEL G. WINKJER WHO HAS MADE
GOOD IN PROTECTING AND DE-
vELoPINe CREAMERY RusI-
NESS IN SOUTH TO BE RETURN
ED NORTH.

Those interested in the creamery
business in North Dakota are espec-
tally interested in the fact that Joel G.
be transferred from Kansas and Okla
homa to northern territory and North
Dakota in particular.
| Mr.. Winkjer Is a creamery inspector
who has made good in every sense u
the word. He Is a M bnesota man
and received his training in the Min
nesota Agricultural college He is a
practical creamery man, butter max
er himself, and, is known as the father
of the creamery business in northern
Minnesota.
He came to that section of the state
several years ago when there was not
over half dozen creameries in the
whole of northwestern Minnesota, un-
der appointment as Minnesota in
spector and when he left that section
of the country two years ago to accept
the position of federal inspector in
Oklahoma and Kansas there were ac-
tually hundreds Of creameries, all on
a paying basis In that section OF the
state. aE
He worked with the farmers to de-
velop the industry as well as to protect
1t and the government seeing his sue
cess sent to Oklahoma and Kansas to
help the cooperative creamery men
against the centralizers.
In speaking Of his appointment 70
this section of the state Assistant
Dairy Commissioner r.. F. Flint in The
Dairy Record says:
While his headquarters will be at
Crookston, Mimi, these federal men
have a faculty of annihilating space
that puts even jack rabbit to shame,
and IL a request from buttermaker
or creamery manager for assistance
Is made to B. D. White. in charge Of
Dairy Investigations, Washington, ID.
c., no doubt Mr.. Winkjer's services
can be secured.
These federal men are not the but
terinskies' that the state inspectors are
and, as / understand the situation, it
depends somewhat upon how good use
we make of him, how long Mr.. Wink
/ jer will be assigned to this territory.
He is competent creamery man and
should be OF great assistance in many
ways to the dairy interests
The assignment Of federal inspec-
tor to this territory also Indicates an
acknowledgment Of the increased
dairy development here.

The fire insurance companies and
agencies of Fargo have at the present
time something over s20,00O,0 1000 worth
Df insurance In force in the territory
Ia which they are doing business.
This is a conservative estimate Act
ual figures, were 1T possible to secure
them. would probably show consid-
erably greater amount in force. How
ever it is impossible to secure the exact
amount of Insurance written by the
companies as some OF the agencies
handling several companies do not
keep separate record OF each and as
the rates of insurance vary consid-
erahly with various risks few figures
are obtatnabIe. However. a record
OF premiums received during the year
1908 are available.
According TO the preliminary re-
port of the state insurance commits
sioner of North Dakota, the premiums
received during that year for Fargo
alone amounts to $126,573.1e. On this
amount there is tax of 2 per cent
levied for the benefit OF the local fire
department. This amounted to So
5S1.46 for the year 1908 and will reach
q much greater figure this year, as In
sllrance business has increased greatly
since the firsr of the year.
Fire Insurance Risks in the u. S,
Fire insurance rates in this country
are very high as compared with other
countries because of the lax laws on
fire prevention. Despite the fact that
the cities of this country maintain
the best fire departments in the world
the annual loss is appalling. The
only laws dealing with fire prevention
and protection are the various muni-
cipal ordinances, which, while being
rigid as to the construction of build
ings, have little to say how these
buildings shall be kept after they are
built.
Last year the United States anj
Canada alone burned up on an aver
age of $175,000 werth of property
each day, The fire loss per capita for
that year in the two countries amount
ed to $3.50, considerably in excess of
any country In existence. The aver
age per capita loss in European coun-
tries was about SO cents. Most OF
these countries have national laws
covering fire prevention. Commits
sions are appointed in each commun-
ity to inspect buildings and their sur
roundings and the result is most
gratifying.
While rates are high, fire insurance
has become most important business
In this country. 1t has become a
necessity and in many cases is about
the only protection people have for
their property. A thing burned is a
total loss--one of the few ways in
which complete loss is possible.
The Fire Companies of Fargo.
Sixty fire insurance companies are
doing thriving business In Fargo and
surrounding territory Some of these
companies have their head offices here
-5~~o strictly North Dakota concerns,
some are district offices, while others
are represented by local agents-their
business being confined largely to in
surance in the city alone
The business of these companies is
handled by men who have spent years
in the insurance business and are high
in their profession. They mostly live
here-own their own homes ana are
men who believe that Fargo is the
biggest little city in the country.
They are boosters for the town and
they and their companies have done
much to add to the general prosperity

/ OF the city. Some Of the companies
employ large forces OF people in the
offices and on the road-large salar-
les are paid and they have been the
means of bringing much money into
town and the state.
The Merchants National Mutual.
The Merchants National Mutual Fire
insurance Co, is strictly home in
stitution. Il is backed largely by
Fargo capital. while all the officers are
Fargo men-leading business men and
financiers of the city.
This company was organized and in
corporated In 1904 and since that time
has been doing large and constantly
increasing business all oyer North
Dakota and Minnesota. This COM
pany writes general line OF fire in
surance on mercantile and dwelling
risks on the cash premium, mutual
plan. 1t has on it's books at the pres
ent time line of business of over
/ $2,60O,00O.
The officers OF this splendid COM
pany are: w. c. Macfadden, presi-
dent; Lars Christianson, vice presi-
dent; F. III. Wilder, secretary and r..
z. Read, treasurer and general man
ager. These men are all prominent
In Fargo's business and financial cir
cles, Mr.. Macfadden is the cashier in
the Commercial bank, president of the
! Northwestern Mutual Loan and Saw
ings Co, and has various other in
terests. Mr.. Christianson is q prom
inent business man, while both Mr..
| Wilder and MIR. Reed are engaged in
handling the office end OF the Mer-
chants National Mutual with the as
slstance OF large office force
The headquarters are located on the
second floor of the Walker block on
first avenue north and all the business
Of the company over the two states is
transacted through this office. The
Minnesota end of the business Is
handled by C. L. Thurber, Of Chat
field, Minn. The travelling special
agents Of the company are r. A. Olson.
Fargo, and A. F. Pierce, Valley City.
The company does not employ any
| local agents, the special agents doing
all the business on salary. This has
been found by the company TO be the
best plan as the special agents are
more particular as to what risks they
take, working to secure the company
the best business possible instead of
working for the commissions that
would accrue to them were they given
a per cent of the risks taken. They are
in position to see that the proper
precautions are taken to prevent fire
and the result has been most crafty
ing both to the company and the policy
holders over the territory.
In addition to being treasurer and
general manager of the company Mr.
Read is also state agent for two other
good companies-the Security Mutual
Insurance Co, of Chatfield, Mimi, and
the Retail Merchants Fire Insurance
Co., of Minneapolis. Both of these
companies operate along the same
line as the Merchants National Mutual
and are doing good business through
the state agency here.
The Northwestern Mutual Fire.
Another thriving home fire insur-
ance company is the Northwestern
Mutual, corporation that has been
doing business In the state for num-
Der Of years with great success.
This company is incorporated under
the laws of North Dakota with the
following officers: President, w. w.
King of Tower City; Vice president.

~creasing," he said.
"The reason is that Hitchin has al
ways prided itself on producing the
finest extract of lavender flowers OBJ
tainable, and that, in view Of the for
eign competition, is an expensive
standard to maintain.
Nothing but the heads of bloom go
into the still. The more stalk used
the ranker is the oil produced. There
is a wonderful difference in quality
between the English and French Oil.
AT cutting time people come in
from miles around tc inhale the
sweetness of the fields, and when the
distillins begins the fragrance of Law
endcr is borne on the wind two
miles or more from the town. The
flowers are put into the still with the
fresh bloom of their maturity on them,
and from six pounds of such flowers
about half an ounce of oil is ex-
tracted."

English Town Has Distilled Flowers
n Sent Extract All Over
World for Many Years.

LondOn.-One of the minor har-
vests that promises we'll is that of the
lavender fields. Some fourishing
crops are to be seer in the Hitchin
neishDorhood.
Comparatively few know of this
quaint Hertfordshire town as an i'm
portant lavender growing center, yet
It has grown the sweet old herb
(Which the Romans called lavandula
when they used it to scent their
baths), has distilled the flowers. and
sent their extract into all parts Of
h world for more than a century.
The Hitchin district had less rain
and more sunshine than the London
area recently, and consequently the
hong, trim rows of lavender plants in
their dusky green look strong and
healthy. They are beginning to show
their flower buds. and there is every
likelihood of an abundant yield at cut.

Mr.. Perks, the modern representa-
tive of the firm of Perks & Llewellyn,
who III 1870 were the pioneers here of
lavender farming and distilling, said
that even this industry must be num-
bered among those which are suffer

most entirely owing to the importation
of cheap French oil of lavender that

denly broke from the brisk walk
which was his usual gait and started
off down the dimly lighted corridor at
a gallop.
The ten men behind him thought he
was running away, and they started
after him. Into the next chamber they
followed him, and just as they
reached it there was a rumble, a roar,
and a crash behind them. The roof
of the chamber they had just left had
given way. Had they been there they
would have been buried under tons
of rock.
Pete's ears, keener than theirs, had
heard the warning sound and he had
led them to safety.
In the 25 years that Pete has
worked in the mine he has been $3.50
days below ground. Fifty days in
each year he worked on the surface,
hauling timbers and rubbish.
While in the mine he travelled an
average OF four miles a day, the total
distance which he covered being %,
900 miles. Had he stayed above
ground and followed his nose he would
have gone around the earth in that
time.
He hauled an average Of five tons
of Goa! a day. a total of 31,25O tons, or
70.312,250 pounds. At the St. Louis
market price of three dollars a ton
this coal would bring 500, $50.
William Edwin, manager of the
mine, issued an order by which Pete
is forever relieved of doing his humble
share in adding to the wealth of ma.
tons.
