WHO SPENT A MONTH IN BIG

IN
j. F. Holmes. proprietor Of the
Holmes Clothing Co. of this city. has
returned from the east, where he spent
q month visiting at Washington. New
York, Boston and other points of in
terest. Mr.. Holmes has q sister liv-
ing In Washington and was in that
city during the Inauguration of Pres
ident Taft.
He stated that the. weather here has
been much better than 1t has been
back east. II nave been watching the
weather reports from up here and find
that as a whole the weather is better
and on several occasions the tempera-
ture here was much warmer than
there said Mr.. Holmes.
Il was in Washington during the
inauguration, and I never saw worse
weather and despite the fact that the
telegraph companies have had thous
ands of men working on their lines
which were torn down during that
storm, they have not cleared them w
yet.

compelled to seek shelter under the
bridge"
When asked about the business con-
ditions in the east, Mr. Holmes said
Il found everything very slow back
there. They seem to have not fully
recovered from the manic and there
are many men idle in all parts of the
country. While the stock markets
seem to have somewhat recovered, the
manufacturers seem to be rather slow

ALARM OF FIRE
WORK OF VANDAL
LOCAL DEPARTMENT CALLED
OUT BY FALSE >ALARM-cITY
COUNCIL WILL TAKE ACTION
TO PUNISH THOSE WHO ENJOY
SUCH AMUSEMENT. .,.

The fire alarm, which sounded in
Moorhead last night about 10 o'clock.
was a false one and from the appear
ances Of circumstances, which have
come to the attention of the. authori-
ties, it is believed that the turning in
Of the alarm was nothing less than a
piece of wilful mischief. Franks, or
whatever it was, will cost the city
about $23 for the pay of services to
firemen, as under the new regulations
the firemen are paid for night runs.
II appears there is no adequate pun
ishment provided for people who in
terfere with Or obstruct the fire alarm
system of the city and to meet emer-
gencies of this character an ordinance
covering the offense WIN be presented
to the council for action tonight.
With the conditions which exist now
in the streets of Moorhead a turnout
for the fire department means con-
siderable in the way of wear and tear
to say nothing of putting the wagons,
etc, in horrible muddy condition.
The box used last night was one near
the high school building.

The campaign for membership in

This campaign is not merely to get
q few members and then quit" said
Secretary Allen this morning. 1T is
to be practically a permanent thing,
and to get the boys imbued with the
idea of working to keep UP the mem
bership. We are well pleased with
the way the boys are taking shold of
the proposition and expect to get a
greatly increased membership as a

MAIN LINE THROUGH IOWA.
Milwaukee Will Run Pacific Exten-
sion Trains Over l. n ID.
Division.

A prominent Milwaukee railroad
official who was in Mason City last
week gave out the information that
this division of the road would be
the highway between the Pacific
coast and the east and that at no dis
tant day through transcontinental
trans would be put on.
Engineers have been quietly max
ing a survey, riding with the engin.
GERS and in other ways examining
the track, and they have discovered
that by building few miles of line
between Jaskson Junction and West
Union, connecting with the Turkey
river division, a route could be es-
tablished from Seattle to Chicago
sixty miles shorter than any other
road might select. 1t, to, was found
that this route has eliminated all
the heavy grades of the system in
the northwest and has thus bested
the Minneapolis or the Sioux City
route.
The points in this part of the
country on the truck line would
then be Aberdeen and Mitchell, S.
D., Mason City, Jackson Junction,
West Union, Dubuque to Chicago.

Must Appear on Time.

One of the most embarrassing
things a country editor has to con-
tend with is the disposition of peo-
pie to what until the last moment of
going to press and then rush in with
their items which they want in this
week sure" This is particularly
the case with those who wish to
make announcements which they
expect to get in gratis. People do
not reflect upon the fact that the
paper is made up during the whole
week and that its capacity is limited
to just so much and the matter gaug-
ed accordingly. If the editor should
wait the convenience of those who
have something they want published
he would not get his paper out un-
til the next week and then he would
have to delay two or three days un-
some kind friend had made up his
mind about a notice he wants in but
which he hasn't been able to pre-
pare just to suit him. A great many

TRUSTEES MUST ORGANIZE.
Health Boards Are Re-
quired by Law to Meet on First
Monday in April.

According to the state statutes as
they stand at present all township
trustees who do not organize as
boards of health and meet as such
on the first Monday in April will be
violating the state law. The law
specifies that each township have a
board of health composed of the
members of the beard of trustees
and a qualified physician. The trus-
tees are to meet and organize on
the above date, and it is their duty
after organizing and transacting the
business as trustees to adjourn and
then convene as a board of health,
perfecting the organization by the
election of a physician to act in the
capacity of advisor and attendant.
The proceedings must be published
in some paper of general circulation
so that the public may be informed
and know who constitutes the board
of health.
The law grants them pay for their
services on the boards as we'll as
trustee at the rate of 50 per day
for each day devoted to the work
and in order to collect this money
it is positively necessary that
known organization exists and the
status be filed of record with the
county auditor, for it is upon this
record the supervisors are compell-
ed to rely in auditing claims for
services.
While meeting as board of
health, consequently the trustee
must be regularly adjourn
ed and the health board meeting
convened. The same pro-
cedure is demanded in all meetings
the term of office.
Attention is called to another mat
ter. Heretofore it has been the
rule for township school boards TO
meet and organize in March, but the
revision of the law makes a change
of date, and the holdovers and new
ly elected members are required
to meet and organize in July. I'm
til such meeting the old school
board is in charge of affairs. Re-
ports have been received of meet
ings in townships under the old law,
but the organization is not legal and
will be declared void until the prop
er time in July, when organization
can legally be perfected Conse-
quently any transaction by boards
organized in March this year is
illegal and of no force.

Hen Had Endurance.

The Iowa hen is famous this year
for her producing qualities, but not
alone for that is she winning laurels
as is evidence by the following story
told by a we'll known farmer near
this city. On January 20, during
the blizzard, at the home of T. F.
Argent a hen was showed under a
big drift of snow in her coop. On
February %, or just twenty-four
days later she was found and taken
out. The hen was alive and while
there was not much left but bones
and feathers she has a good appetite
and promises to be laying eggs with
in thirty days.-Hampton Chronicle
