If you are a republican, be a
whole-hearted one on election day
and vote for the men selected by
your party at the primary. Don't
vote to turn the state over to the
democrats by voting for John
Burke. What has he done for
the republicans who have put
him in the gubernatorial chair
twice? He has filled nearly all
the appointive Offices which have
good salaries attached with men
from his own party and has built
up strong democratic organiza-
tion in this republican state.
Without the support of republic
cans he could not have done this.
So what's the use? Put an end
to it next Tuesday.

All argument against division
on the tax proposition has been
knocked in the head by official
records from Medora. They show
that taxes are getting higher
every year; that they have in.
creased Is per cent in the past
five years: they show that over
ST. 100000 has been spent in the
county during the past five years
for special purposes, such as roads
and bridges, etc., and that the
Golden Valley has received very
little benefit from the spending
'of this S77.000.00. Farmers
throughout the Valley know they
have not received their share and
they know there is no assurance
that they will in the future: they
have no assurance but what taxes
will be higher next year and more
Of their money will be used to
improve roads in other parts of
the county; they know they can
only judge the future by the past,
and the past has shown them that
they have not received a square
deal" on the special tax PROPOSE
tion. 1t has been a case of taxa
tion without representation and
our people now realize that they
can better and more economically
take care of their own county
affairs by segregating and form
ing a county of our own. By

ley and against Butte and Roose.
welt this can be easily done, but
in no other way can division be
obtained at this election-and we
may never have as easy chance
again to accomplish what we
want. 1t therefore behooves
every voter to get out and vote.
Don't leave it to the other fel.
low. but vote and see that the
other fellow votes also.

For a republican to vote for
John Burke for governor is like
loaning your knife to a man who
intends to stab you with it.
That's what Burke has done to
tn. republicans who have twice

ly. This looks nice in a republic

FIERCE FLAMES
BURN HORSES
Downs Bros Livery Barn al
Spicer is Totally Destroyed
With Most of Contents.

Downs Bros livery barn at Spi-
Ger burned yesterday morning and
eight horses perished in the flames.
The fire was discovered at $50
o'clock, having started in the hay
on the loft. Both proprietors, P.
H. Downs and Dan Downs, were
working in the barn at the time the
fire was discovered, but such was
the rapid progress of the flames
that they were unable to save more
than seven of the fifteen horses that
were in the barn. eight meeting
death there. One buggy and all
the harnesses were destroyed. AL
so $50 bushels of oats, a lot of hay,
etc.
The barn was large structure,
about 50x100 feet, and wind sweep
ing the flames thru the barn from
the north made short wor k of it.
1t was very hot fire, and the Car
gill Bros. grain elevator caught fire
from the heat several times but was
saved from any serious damage.
Had the wind been from a slightly
different quarter, it is believed that
a good share of the business section
of Spicer would have been swept
away in terrible confagration.
The loss sustained by Downs
Bros. is estimated at $4,000, with
only $500 insurance. How the fire
originated is a mystery. The last
one to 60 up in the loft to feed
the horses was Claude Doty some
time before the fire, and besides
the proprietors, no one is known to
have been near the barn during the
morning.
This is the third fire Spicer has
experienced within the last six
months. Last winter the concrete
block factory burned and few
weeks ago the creamery building
was consumed, the fire originating
in some mysterious way.
