Good Pressure on plug.

Through misunderstanding OF
some kind the engine did not stop at
the plug at Jefferson avenue ana
Thirty-first street, where the hose
was dropped from the combination
wagon, and it was not until after the
fire was under control that the steam
er was pressed into service. There
was very good pressure on the plug,
however, and the firemen were not
handicapped for want OF water pres
sure. .
The illumination from the flames
could be seen from all sections of the
city and a large crowd Of people gath
erred on the scene soon after the
alarm sounded. Not very long after
the firemen reached the scene, the
fire had been subdued and in less than
half an hour the flames had been
beaten back into the building and
we're being fought from the inside. As
soon as the blaze died down the crowd
began scattering.

When the fire broke out Mr.. Hughes
was on the lower floor and four OF
his little children were sleeping en-
the second floor. Mrs. Hughes and
her Oldest daughter were shopping on
washington avenue and did not ar
rive home until the fire was about
out. The children were awakened by
the heat and smoke and began cry
ing. Mr. Hughes began to investigate
the cause of their cries and found the
house afire. He hurried the children
to the home CT neighbors and with the
assistance of some friends began
moving furniture cut of the house
across the street. In the meantime
some one had telephoned the fire de
partment and Fire Chief w. X Stow
and the Central company were hurry
ing 10 the scene
While it was impossible last night
to accurately estimate the extent OF
the damage to the BUILDING. the loss
to the house and furniture from fire
and water is estimated at $1,000. 1t Is
understood that both the building and
furniture, which were owned by Mr..
Hughes. were insured against fire.

That the resources of North Dakota

ing state, is beginning to find many
|adherents among well informed men.
The vast deposits OF coal, the millions

burned annually, the wool crop, the
deposits of clay, the glass sand, all
point to the vast possibilities in the
manufacturing line. --.-
The matter of utilizing the fax
|straw is a matter of prime import
ance, the 100000 tons now burned
annually, would if made into linen
|give employment to 100000 men and
the finished product would have va

1t is the general belief that nearly
all of the linen used in the world Is
made in Ireland, this belief Is not
warranted by the facts. Germany,
Belgium and France manufacture lin
en- goods on large, scale. ....
Then again contrary to the general
belief Ireland raises only a small
portion of the straw coming from Rus

Minot, N. D.,
Dear Sirs:
AS you are asking the farmers to
answer what the business men OF MI
not can do to encourage the farmers
to give them more of their trade !
will try to give as good an answer
as I possibly can. The first thing Is
to have a market place, where the
farmers can line up in the morning
81 they don't have to peddle helr
stuff around town, as the farmers
are generally poor peddlers. Second Is
for them to join the A. S. OF H. 1or
of course if they want the Farmers
trade they ought to meet them nall
way. That is I mean for the business
men to help the farmers 10 get d
reasonable price for their products'
money they will certainly spend more
and it will be benefit to the business
men as well as the farmers.
Yours truly.

Should Utilize Our Flax Straw
North Dakota Raises as Many Tons OF Flax Straw
as Russia Which Produces $50 Of the Morld's
lax Straw Used for Linen.-.M What
Generation May Bring Forth

made an exhaustive study Of North
Dakota flax straw, he gives it as his
opinion that the straw is suitable for
the manufacture OF linen goods. not
only OF the inferior grades, but also
the liner qualities. He states It al,
his belief that in generation North
dakota will become the linen center
o. the world.
Nearly all Of the machinery used
IN the manufacture OF linen from fay
straw Is made in England and tho
import duty is heavy, the duty on
100000 Of machinery would be about,
$4,000 which of itself would tmposa
heavy burden on the new industry
Al the hrst session Of the 61st con-
sress, bill was introduced known
aa McCumber Amendment to the bil,,
a.. 4. 1889 that all machines used
Tor the manufacture of linen or cloth
from lax fiber, imported prior to
January LIST, 1912, shall be admitted
free of duty. Thanks to the efforts
OF Senator McCumber this bill became
q part OF the tariff law.
AS result Of this law, machinery
has been ordered in England by the
tHckertail Linen. Mill Company. thu
company will commence the erection
OF factory early next summer, the
site selected ia In the coal belt and
manufacturing town will be estab.
hshed. This will be the beginning Of
the linen industry in North Dakota.
and important developments may be-
looked for.
