BREMEN DE LUXE
 LOSE AUTOMOBILE
AEiddletown's Mayor Dis penses with Gay Truck Because All the Depart
 ment Cant Ride at Once.

MiddIetown. April 1s-Members of inc Adfdd1etown Fire Department and
 ether exclusive social organizations of
 8I1is town are pained to hear that aNI1Iard Clark Fisher. the reform May
 intends to sell the automobi1e fire
 truck de luxe which is the pride and Joy oE all Midd1etown.
 Mayor Fisher. who is also professor of political economy in Wesleyan Uni Nersftys has decided to Ndispense with ception can be taken to it's archifec- EEfa5E or decorative features, it is so &onstructed that only four fremen can ride on 1t at one time It is Mayor Hdsherss contention that the fire de- partnaent should get out of the habit of regarding fires as functions like they should be equipped with appar- Htus marked by possibilities of useful ness rather than distinguished only by their aesthetic values.
 & That clement in Mfddletown society which regards reform as 8 good thing if it is not carried too far thinks that the Mayor antipathy to the highly decorative fire truck is one result of lis dislike of Major T. MacDonough Isnssell. formerly Mayor. whose name zV 1afcl1 is one of the fittings of the erIck.
 Mayor Fisher says he wouldn't care if pages from the Social Register were engraved on the fire truck if the deco raf1onS only left room for the firenen. 344G sGdQac1Iy or the Iruck IS TOUT Hro- men and there are so many honorary, inactive, life and other non-working members of the fire department that sNhen they all want to get on the truck at once, calling the social session to cfdef fnpedes the work of getting to tf1e ire.
 During the brief time the fire truck with its art nouveau furnishings has been in service it has pleased the ar Eistic sense of most of the population These lovers of the good. the true and the beautiful think the $4.50O invested in the truck is as worthiIy placed as zf sunk in an art gallery. As in other communities parents take their ehil- f7ren to gaze upon beautiful land scapes. proud MiddIetovn parents re- gale their children with visits to the spectacular fire truck.
 Warned by the fate of the cathe- dra1s, manor houses and other fine works which have decayed because of ill use, the guardians of the fire truck watch over it tenderly. When it is taken to a fire every care is used lest water rust it. When it is in the en- zine house it is wrapped in charnois and Jewellers cotton. The thought that this object dart may be sold to some barbarous community where a1tf1i ifarfanisrn has a strangle hold of aesthetfcs brings tears to the eye of 4he art lovers of Midd1etown. These amateurs hope to change the mind Of Mayor Fisher, who is the custodian of 41ae last guess. but something tells Them the fire truck is to disappear from the citxss artistic treasures

The U. s. Bureau of Statistics re- ports that in the nine months end- Ing with March. 127,o0o cattle were exported, and it is expected that in the full fiscal year the number ex- ported will be about 175,oO0; that the quantity of fresh beef exported In 1910 will probably amount to kbout 75,o0O,00O pounds, with other exports as follows: Bacon, 1so.00O,- 900 pounds; lard, 400. 100000 pounds. These figures though much reduced from the record year, 1898. do not indicate any scarcity, nor show that ihis country does not produce enough for its needs.

of them is a match for the huge
 Dreadnoughts which the navies of the
 world are now building. When the
 newer ships go into commission, 1t will
 hardly be advantage to keep them
 on the Atlantic coast which is becom-
 ing better defended every day In the
 way of ships, coast artillery fort1flca-
 tions and submarines. The advantage
 of establishing a battleship fleet in the
 Pacific, on the contrary, is obvious,
 and will, within a very few years, be-
 come still more obvious, as the trade
 of the Orient develops and the compe-
 tition for that trade becomes more keen. The question. therefore. or send.
 ing the ships to the Pacific is one of serious consideration with the Depart Inent.
 noiificai interest. The splendid isola- ton of the United States so far as the
 Atlantic is concerned does not apply to the Pacific. In the past the At7 lantic coast was not likely to attract any fleets but those of merchantmen seeking the products which the United United States had to offer. That con fed States now overflowing with capi- tai and burging with the products Of it's factories must seek out new mar kets in the awakening East. The complications that have arisen in the struggle with other nations are al ready disconcerting. Japan already has 2 strangle hold in Manehur5a, t,a n4,,e1. to trade. There are the Philippines to look after. There will be ships need ed to counterbalance the embryo navy, now being constructed by Australia. For these general reasons, not to men tion others, it is very probable that the Pacific battleship fleet is only few years at most from realization.
 Many problems must be solved, how ever, before this is accomplished. TO keep thirty-two battleships in com mission, not to speak of cruisers, sub- marines, torpedo boats and destroyers and auxiliary craft, would mean a big increase in the enlisted force of the navy, and it is a question whether the big middle western states, where the power is very inactive, would look with favor on such an increase. Be- sides the problem of providing more officers would arise, as this is already a difficulty with the number of ships now in commission. It is not diff cult to get the men but the officers. who must have years of special train ing. are not at hand. Besides they are necessary to training the crews who could be enlisted in time of war.
 All of these will probably become serious questions of naval administra- ton by the time the Panama canal is opened to the trade of the world. This will make the Pacific more inn portant than ever from the coInmer- 1 cial viewpoint and its strategic fmpor- 1 tance will increase likewise.

The tone of Banker C1ew's weekly review of stock market and general sEonditions is quite decidedly opti- inistic He attributes the betterment of feeling to a belief that the rehear- ing Of the Standard Oil and Tobacco trust cases means that the Supreme Court is not wholly antagonistic to corporations to the apparent fact ssthat the coming season will be one of full crops'; to ''the declining te11- aency of staple commo dities'' which win stimulate exports and eventually lessen the cost of living; to the pros pect of a heavy railroad traffic dur ing the coming summer and autumn; and to q. more easy money market. In conclusion, MT. C1ews says:
 The outlook for the local market Is for much wider activity. Several of the most serious drawbacks have sbeen removed, and the market will now have an opportunity to respond to natufa1 influences. A very con- siderable drop in prices has occurred, many shares being 5 to 25 points be- low the high prices of this year. The situation, it must be acknowledged, favors more active and much broader market

Now, nearly year after, the Treasury Department has approved that collectors action the same grounds as will be applied in the case of race horses and other animals sent to Canada or Mexico for exhibition purposes, the further argument being made that there would be a discrimi- nation if these American bred animals were not allowed to come back free of duty when lions and tigers and other tropical products in the animal hive. travelling IS circus or men agerie were permitted to enter with out payment of customs duties.

 American race horses going to com- pete on the Canadian tracks, and fat cattle or fine poultry sent across the border for exhibition purposes, may owners want to bring them back to the United States they will be made to pay a high rate of duty on them. But it took Treasury ruling to move this threat which, of course, was nev- CT intended by the framers of the tar if law and which was the result of nasty and careless construction.
 One of the paragraphs of the law provides for the return to this country free of duty of articles the growth produce, or manufacture of the United States, not including animals The last three words were introduced into the bill on the floor of the Senate sub- sequent to the report of the bill from the. Senate Committee. 1t was not in the House bill.
 From an examination of the Con- gressfonal Record, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Curtis, who has charge of customs matters, was convinced that the language was obviously in tended to limit the conduct of cattle feeders and breeders along the border lines who frequently brought back their heards foreign-born calves, etc.
 So he has issued the necessary inz structions to collectors of customs to allow American animals sent into Cam ada or Mexico for temporary purposes to be brought home free of duty.
 IT TT. k. should bring pack from his African trip tame lion whose teeth he had extracted with his mighty hand, he would have to pay 20 per cent duty on the estimated value of the animal.
 But if some big circus manager should bring into this country a lot of lions, and tigers and elephants, and other nenagerie exhibits, no duty at all would be assessed.
 Just after the new tariff law went into effect an American circus con- sistin~ of tanned dogs and ponies which had been performing in Canada, tried to come back to the United States, into the State of Washington.
 It was confronted by this peculiar language of the tariff bill, and it look ed for time as though the owners would have to pay duty on every horse and pony and dog, connected with the 1 show. The local collector of customs. however. permitted the animals to re-

FIRE w

Driscoll, N. D., July 28th.-Last
night at twelve o'clock, a fire that
proved serious in it's extent, broke
out and burned up much valuable
property in this town. The fire start
ed between the hotel and the pool
hall and burned the Powers Elevator,
Office and lumber yard and a number
Of other buildings including the coal
house which was near the lumber
yard, the agents residence, the old
hotel building and dwelling and Ian
giles pool hall. The fire also burn
ed out Matthew Brothers department
store and French's meat market. At
9 a. m. the fire was extinguished. A
crew of section men from Sterling
were taken to the fire by the N. P.
Co. It was thought at one time the
depot and other railroad property
would be lost, but owing to a per-
feet calm of the weather the fire was
not carried by wind. The origin of
the fire is not known.

CONSIDERABLE TRACK WORK
GOING ON. MOTT ExTEN.
SION BEING COMPLETED

There is still good deal of work
being done on the N. P. on this d.
vision and over 800 Italians are
working at various jobs along the
line. Much of the road improvement
grade work is usually completed a.
bout this time of the year. Work
of grading and ironing the new dou-
BILE track to Bloom is going on and
ties have been distributed along the
track for the early completion of this
new track. A heavy cut by steam
shovel has been nearly finished. The
railroad company is continuing the
work of grading on the Pipgree-Wil-
ton branch, contractors having strips
of work at different parts of the road
and it is understood that all of the
contracts for the entire line have
been. let.
Supt. Burt made a trip over the
new Mott extension last week going
from Mandan in a gasoline car. He
reports good progress being made but
some little delay in the construction
of q bridge. The railroad company
is exercising the same business pre-
cautions this year that any other
concern takes, and is preparing to
fill its requirements as far as the
crop moving work is concerned, but
not to incur greater expense than ac-
tually necessary for this annual ex-
ira business. About 10000 cars are
counted upon being moved from this
division in an ordinarily good crop
year. This means about 200 trains
and usually considerable extra en-
gine work and additional men in the
round house force are required at this
time in getting ready for the busi-
ness. The force is less this year than
usual, as lis is not expected that half
the number -of cars will be moved
From this division. The through
businesses remains about the same.

Republican candidates nominated
at the last primary election will hold
meeting at the Waldorf hotel, Far

by the joint action of e. c. Cooper,
chairman of the regular republican
committee and J. M. Devine, chair
man of the progressive republican

Of the letter sent out by the two
chairmen to the candidates.:
The people of the state have spok-
en- through the medium of the prim-
aries and have selected the persons
whom they desire to represent them
as nominees for the several Offices
to be filled at the November election.
The persons so selected are "repub-
licans." Some are identified with
what has been known as the "regu-
lar republicans" and some with what
has been known as the progressive
republicans" But all are admittedly
-T0puDl1CduS. lQereIOre IL WOulQ
seem to be proper that a meeting of
the candidates so selected should be
held, at which time a full and free
discussion of the situation should be
had, and If thought best, some ar
rangements be made for the carrying
on Of an active campaign in the in
terests of the nominees of the repub-
lican primaries, so that the interests
of all may be properly subserved and
their election assured.
In the interest of harmony, and to
advance the best interests of the re-

SOME ELECTION NOTES
NAMES OF THE SIX REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATES FOR SUPREME
JUDGE -

In the election for nomination for
state school superintendent, E. J..
Taylor, the present deputy superin-
tendent carried 20 counties in the
state, A. L. Woods II. Mr.. Taylor's
majority was 1898. He carried
Grand Forks county by 113 votes and
Stutsman county by votes.
In the matter of supreme judges
there will be at least one change in
the present makeup of the court as
Judge Carmody failed to receive a
nomination. Six candidates have
been nominated and two are at pres
ent holding Office as district judges.
Should they be elected as supreme
judges and become members Of the
supreme court they can take up their
duties in:-December instead of Janu-
ary when general changes Of state Of
fees are made by law. In this event
Gov. Burke will have the duty and
pleasure of appointing two of his fav-
orites but there is a chance that the
district judges might not qualify i'm
mediately after their election and
could devote some time to closing up
the unfinish business of their dis
tricts, which, in the event of the elec-
ton of G. A. Johnson, republican
nominee for governor would give him
the oportunity to fill the vacancy.
This situation is peculiar one and is
interesting to lawyers and politicians
around the state.
The nominees for the judiciary are
as follows, as the final returns have
been received showing the results of
the primary election:
C. J. Fisk, Frand Forks.
w. M. Anderson, Devils Lake.
E. T. Burke, Valley City.
T.. B. Goss, Minot.
S. F.. Ellsworth, jamestown.
e. M. Cooley, Grand Forks.
The race between Cooley and Knee
shaw was very close, Cooley had 27,-
y94, Kneeshaw 27, 776, giving the
former lead Of 1913, and making
him one of the six candidates from
which the voters will elect three at
the next election in November.
