the only thing which is now standing
In the way of settlement is the mat

According to these reports the rail-
roads have agreed to increase the
salaries of the swftchmen 2 cents an
hour and the switchmen's union has
consented to drop the demand for
overtime and Sunday extra time that
was asked. The union is now sticking
for the employment of all the
switchmen who went out on the strike,
point which the railroad officials do
not seem disposed to concede. .
These reports came from good au-
thority although not officially. Re-
ports from the office Of ]. e. Craver
superintendent of the Fargo division

CHEMISTRY BUILDING Loss.

Total A. c. loss ......... :. s75, 900
Insurance, two-th.rds.
Personal loss, Professor Ladd, $500.
In confagration, which for time
threatened the entire group of build
ings on the campus of the North Da-
kota Agricultural college, the chem
istry building-the headquarters OF
Prof Il. r. Ladd, dean of the depart
ment Of chemistry and state pure food
commissioner-was burned to the
ground last evening. Only a heoric
battle by the fire department and
volunteers at the college saved the
library and engineering building both
of which caught fire several times from
flying embers which filled the air.
The picture presented on the col
lege campus is one that will live long
in the memory of the hundreds at
tracted. The whole north end Of the
city WAS brilliantly illuminated for
hours by flames which leaped far into
the heavens. Terrific explosions oc-
Cured at intervals, which put all
hope of saving the building out of the
question.
Origin Is Prohiematicsi.
How the fire started is a mystery
with every indication that 1t will
never be solved. The supposition that
Ii might have been of incendiary ORR
gin, is not entertained for moment.
In the opinion of Professor Laid Ii
probably started from electrical wires
with which one end of the building is
practically alive. The theory of spon-
taneous combustion is not credited by
the dean.
At $3.50 last evening Prof. VIM. r.
Sudro left the building and every
thing was in perfect condition. The
ianitor left but few minutes before
and there was nothing to indicate the
doom that foreshadowed the place.
At z o'clock flames were discovered
issuing from the doors and windows.
The alarm was at once sounded and
the battle started to conquer the fire
demon.
Many Adverse Conditions. i.
There was more than one condition
that favored a real confiagration. The
run was the longest that could have
possibly be made, the college being
outside of the city limits, The water
hydrants at the college are the pri-
vate property of that institution. The
first one was out of commission en-
tirely while another was showed under.
These, however, were nothing COM
pared with the lack of pressure. 1t
was utterly impossible TO raise a
stream of water over the second story.
At the waterworlzs every engine was
dressed into commission and in the

MANY TURKEYS

THANKS FOR HELP GIVEN.

Rev. o. e. McCracken, agent for the
Associated Charities Of Fargo, said
this morning that a considerable
amount of work has been done among
the poor people of the city in making
them comfortable for Christmas.
I'VE paid particular attention to the
sick women and children, relieving
their condition as much as possible"
said Rev. McCracken. This morning
/ received telephone messages from a
number of people stating that they
had extra turkeys and other things
which they would like to go to the
poor families of the city. These will
be distributed"
Thanks People for Assistance.
When asked about the amount Of
work done by the Associated Charities
Rev. McCracken said: "Of course we
did not do as much this Christmas as
we could have done had the organi-
zation been older We had hardly
been organized until we had totake
up this work However we are in this
work not for Christmas alone but 365
days a year
Right here I would like to express
the gratitude Of the Associated Chari-
ties to the people of Fargo for the as
sistance they have given the organi-
cation i'm it's work and extend to them
the compliments of the season."

President Injured.
Among the volunteers at the col
lege, Pres. J. Fl. Worst was most ay-
tive. While sweeping embers from
the roof of the library building, he
slipped and for time it was thought
he broke mis- ankle, which however.
was only badly sprained.
The library, Just across the drive
from the chemistry building, was In
the path of torches carried by a stiff
wind. The department bent all efforts
to save this structure, water being
applied generously.
The engineering building. which is
close to the chemistry, was scorched
to some extent, but good work saved
it from destruction.
Laid, Too, is Loser.
North Dakota is not the only loser
by the fire. At least $500 worth of
scientific books. the personal proper
ty OF Prof. Ladd went up in smoke.
All of the completed records of the
department were in the vault. Work
that has been under way for the past
four months was In the laboratories
and nothing but ashes remain. This
consists of a vast amount of analyti-
cal work which was in progress.
the explosions which occurred were
from either alcohol or gasoline. Thirty
uart bttles of the latter were in the
laboratory to be analysed for the
sta tie oil inspector. There was also
a good supply OF alcohol. One of the
explosions lifted the roof completely
off the building and was distinctly
heard for miles.
Vault May Have Held.
1t was the opinion of Professor Ladd
this morning that the vault stood the
test. Tt will be opened some time to-
day when 1t will be known whether
the fruit of searching experiments and
tests are still matter OF record.
Sec. w. A. Yoder was an earnest
fighter to save the vault.
The chemistry building was con-
structed in 1905 and was occupied in
1906 by the chemistry department. It
was this building from which the pure
food commissioner waged war against
manufacturers of authorizations in
food stuff as well as paint rfa 4ss,v
Secretary Yoder announced that
the building was insured for two
thirds of it's value.
Won't Interfere With Worg.
1t was announced at the college this
morning that school work will not be
interferred with in, the least. An en-
tirely new stock of chemicals and APP
paratus has been ordered and when
the winter term opens Jan 3 ample
provision will have been made for
caring for students.

POOR JUDGEMENT,

In looking over our exchanges the
past week we have been panied to see
In number of them references to the
memorial day exercises as celebra:
tons It was probably an act OF
oughtlessness On the part of the wri:
tiers of these articles that caused them
to appear in this form, but is 1t not
we'll to call the attention Of these ed.
itors to the real significance Of the day
set aside by our nation for the honor
Ing Of the memory of tho heroes who
so valiantly gave up home, loved ones
and in many cases their lives for the
preservation of our nations. 1t seems
to us that speaking of Memorial day
exercises as celebration is a dis.
grace to our common wealth. If there
is any one day in the whole calendar
that should be looked upon with rev.
erence it is this day on which we hon.
or the memory of our dead heroes.
We drift too far away from. the sol.
emnity of the occasion, and too often
the day is used for purposes for which
1t is not intended when it is made "a
holiday, but it seems to us that ,allud:
Ing to Memorial day exercises as eel
ebration is objectionable. !
