be safely attempted. In the mean
time the groans of the victims could
be heard in the street.
A little girl proved heroine at the
fire. A ladder was hoisted to the
fourth floor between two windows.
From one of these a little girl crept
along the coping until she could reach

and placing a foot on another she lent
helping hand to eight or ten girls

reached the ladder and had been
brought down to safety she came

LAND IN PLENTY.

While Canada is flooding the agricultural coun-
tries Of the world with advertisements describing
the vast areas of free land which she offers to emf
grants our government is doing little or nothing
to call attention to the fact that there are millions
of acres quite as fertile and equally free to settlers
in the United States, says the New York Times.
Certain writer's have mournfuy declared that
there are no longer any unoccupied wheat lands in
this country, and as these statements pass uncon-
tradicted here at home it is certainly likely that
they find acceptance abroad
AS against these misleading stories, please con-
slider the plain facts. There millions upon mil
homeseekers in several Of our richest agricultural
states In the Panhandle Of Texas alone there arc
more than 100000 acres. Nebraska, the Dakotas
and washington all contain extensive areas OF
fertile land awaiting settlers and other states have
vast tracts now used for grazing which can be
easily transformed into grain fields. It Is almost
a sin that at time like this, when there Is need
of increase in our agricultural output, no effort
smade to divert European immigrants to out wait
ing lands

but 1900 inhabitants then. Martin Jacobson soon
afterwards that it imperative that Minot
should have better opera house, and when others
afraid to invest their money in city proper
ty here Martin Jacobson went in for all he was
worth and put up a three story block and gave
Minot opera house that, at the time, was away
and ahead OF the town. For this he deserves much
credit Mnot has continued to grow until at the
present time, we feel the need of larger opera
house. We understand that Mr.. Jacobson is will
ing to cooperate with the citizens of Minot in
building new one. This would be much better
than securing foreign capital to carry the project
thru successfully During the past eight years.
Martin Jacobson has paid to the city $500 in opera
house licenses. He is the pioneer in the business
here and should have first consideration.

evergreen industry in this section is

would be almost incredible were not

Although the industry might be said
to be In its incipiency the amount of
money that is expended yearly by the
northern people for shipments of the

Every shipper will tell you that he has
orders sufficient to keep him busy for
300 days in the year and with ali the
help he could secure he could not sup
ply half the demands made upon him.
