FARGO SHOULD CLEAN UP.

Roosevelt Is coming next Monday.
The city should be clean and shining.
There will be $500 to $4,000 visitors
here from all sections of the state.
Many win come Sunday and be here
two days, during which they will be
inspecting the metropolis.
Fargo's reputation for cleanliness
and sanitation will depend largely on
the Impression these people form. The
city should be on dress parade. Let
everyone make an effort to clean up.
The celestial street sprinklers could
have found plenty of work Monday
The streets, from the long drought,
were covered with dust and the rip
roaring wind that was doing business
In this section of the universe had no
difficulty in starting something. Dust
was forced into every place. Great
black layers of IL piled up everywhere
and the people of Fargo were inhal-
ing about f1fty-seven different kinds
Of germs all at once.
A day like yesterday serves to i'm
press on the people the necessity of
cleanliness and sanitation. Filth that
10 permitted to pollute odd corners and
back alleys is spread over the entire
city. If the city was as Clearly as it
should be-there would have been far
less whirling, disease breeding matter
in the air yesterday.
Fargo has escaped epidemics this
year. The general clean up in the
spring was helpful. There should be
another this fall so the people can go
into winter quarters sanitarily.
The streets. the alleys, the backyards,
the neglected corners should all be
cleaned up well--and frequently.

HUNTING DAYS.

Wednesday, Sept z, will witness the
rush of North Dakota hunters afield.
There have been no changes in the
laws since last year. Reports from
all over the state indicate there is per-
haps the largest crop of prairie chick
ems ever seen in North Dakota. 1t may
be case of the yankee and his bull
frogs, but almost every sportsman feels
reasonably certain there will be fine
shooting.
The climatic conditions that were so
favorable to the propagation of prAirie
chickens worked adversely for ducks.
The sloughs and coulees were dried UP
as result of the drought and there are
fewer home ralsed ducks than in for
mer years. Should there be rainfall
during the hunting season to fill. the
lakes, there will be the usual large
number or migratory ducks and geese
from the north, but perhaps there will
be fewer large bags than last year
Later on the open season for deer
will be on. This sport is confined to
a limited area and the number of men
who participate in it are comparatively
small. It's mortality rate is Highland
the rewards for the chase less than in
other forms Of sport in North Da-
kota.

FOREST FIRE FIGHTERS.

One of the largest and most destruc-
tive forest fires in the history of the
nation has just been extinguished. Ore
gon, Washington, Idaho and Montana
suffered, the two latter bearing the
brunt of the loss of life and property.
The territory already burned over is
more than equal to the combined areas
Of Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island and New Jersey. More than 200
lives have been lost, and more than
$2O,00O,000 worth of property has been
destroyed Whole towns and villages
have been swept away.
What was, only few days ago. a
virgin forest of priceless timber is now
waste of ashes and smoking embers
marked here and there with the
charred and blackened corpses of trees
that CHANGED to escape destruction.
This is one OF the great disasters of
the decade, and those who have never
seen forest fire and are not familiar
with its fierceness and its overwhelm-
ing rageean not realize the vastness
OF the calamity that has fallen upon
the northwest.

clerk and demanded to have his card

out on the street, but that he would ar
range an interview as soon as the man
returned.
