LAST EVENING THAT SEVERE
PRAIRIE FIRE WAS RAGING
NEAR cAssELToN UNBOUND
Ed.

Throughout the Seventh ward in
Fargo last evening there was a report
circulated that the city of Casselton,
recently the scene of a big eonfagra-
ton, was endangered by big prairie
fire that was sweeping toward the city
from the northwest at the rate OF six
ty miles an hour. How such a re-
port was started is beyond the con-
ception OF many OF the residents OF
that section Of the city. The story is
absolutely without foundation and
from what source 1t sprang is totally
unknown.
Citizens in the Seventh ward were
were fully expecting to hear later re-
turns from Casseltop during the night,
advising of the destruction of the city.
The story was further embellished
with the sequel that the Fargo fire
department had been called out and
had responded on one of the night
trains as In a previous case. No such
report has reached the city either by
telephone or telegraph, which would
have been the case had Casselton been
threatened by prairie fire.

TRAFFIC in POSTCARDS
Northern Pacific lssuss a Series Of
Attractive caFds-North Dakota
is Represented.

The Northern Pacific has put out
this summer a new and attractive
series Of souvenir post cards which
are distributed to its patrons ready
stamped for mailing. A set of twelve
stamped cards is sold for rs cents, the
cards depicting different scenes, some
Of cities, some OF farm views irriga-
ton projects, Yellowstone Park, etc.
North Dakota is represented by q
special card carrying the picture Of an
attractive farm scene during harvest
time, showing substantial farm build.
ings, a herd of cattle, and harvesters
in the field. Other cards show the
cities OF Portland, Tacoma, Seattle.
Spokane, Helena. Butte, Billings, Grand
Canyon in Yellowstone Park, old
Faithful Inn, etc.
This attractive form of advertising
is bound to do the Northern Pacific a
vast amount of good, since these cards
are scattered to the four quarters of
the earth by those who mail them to
friends telling of their experiences on
the trip along the Scenic Highway
Through the Land of Fortune" This
latter phrase is a slogan which the
Northern Pacific adopted something
over year ago and uses in connection
with all Of its advertising matter.
That 1t is eminentIy fitting is apparent
at once, since the Land of Fortune"
is used to designate every mile of the
territory from the head of the lakes
to the Pacific ocean, the richest and
most productive country the sun
shines upon.
