Fargo, N. D., Oct. AK. B. williams
Reynolds. N. D., Dear Sir: Replying
to yours OF Sept. 20. There have been
several firms doing business in NORTH
Dakota under various names, and al
times the names have been changed
One OF these firms had their. head
quarters in an old barn in Moorhead,
Mimi, at other times they were In
Minneapolis, Chicago, Iowa and South
Dakota; and In every instance the
products which they handled were Of
worthless character.
A few years ago there were repre-
sentatives travelling through the state
OF North Dakota soliciting orders for
food stuffs after the manner OF box
car merchants The man who is pro-
noting one OF these schemes st the
present time was also identified with
the sale OF cheap catalogue house goods,
food products, In North Dakota, and
was at least three times prosecuted by
this department for the sale OF illegal
goods.
MY advice to the farmers Is 10 leave
thase things alone. They cannot afford
to be buncoed out OF $50 to SLOT for
for the benefit OK some schemer, who,
to say the least. knows very little OF
veterinary medicines or the needs OF
live stock. Yours very truly,
E. #. Ladd.
Now replying 10 this article. we are
pleased to say to the readers OF the
northwest and especially to the farm-
ers OF the northwest that this article

CITY WASHED AWAY
Bursting Dam OvePwhe|ms 800 at
Austin, Pennsylvania.
Breaking Gas Mains Add Fire to Hor-
or of Scene-victims Mostly
Women and Children.

Austin, Pa--Austin, town of 81
900 residents in the northern part of
this state, was swept out of existence
Saturday and more than 800 of its
people were killed by a flood which
followed the breaking of the Bayless
Pulp & Paper company's dam, a mile
and half north of the town. Half
billion gallons of water rushed over
the place in a wall ten feet high,
wrecking every structure in its path
Fear that the town of Costello, also
in the path of the flood, had been des-
troyed, was confirmed by later reports.
Costello was a settlement of from
35 to 40 houses, and only half dozen
houses are left standing. The town
of Wharton is reported to be safe
In Austin the bursting of scores of
natural gas mains as the buildings
were swept away added horror to the
flood and many imprisoned in the
wreckage were burned to death. The
contents of the dam, which was filled
to overlooking by the heavy rains of
two weeks, swept through a natural
gorge in which Austin and Costello
are situated.
w nilt many TcSiocntS VI AuSbiti co-
capped to the hills, the warning given
by the blasts of the Bayless mill s
whistle was too brief for hundreds of
others. The catastrophe paralleled in
many respects the destruction by flood
of Johnstown, Pa, in 1889, in which
more than 300 lives were lost.
The extent of the loss of life and
the destruction of property cannot be
known for several days. The proper
ty loss will be several million dollars.
Within an hour of the first general
knowledge of the calamity, special
trains bearing physicians, nurses and
food supplies were on the way to the
scene. Hundreds of automobiles bear
ing rescuers toiled over the mountain
roads to lend aid
Temporary hospitals were fitted up
in the nearby farm houses and impro-
vised structures fashioned from the
wreckage. The Red Cross also made
preparations fer immediate aid to sur
vivors. The intense heat of the fires
sweeping from the natural gas mains
made it impossible for survivors tt
visit the scene of destruction fol-
many hours
Looters were among the first on the
ground and Governor Tener dispatched
a large force of state police to tn,
town to protect the victims

Constantinople = The report has
been received here that substantially
the entire fleet of the Ottoman empire
has been annihilated by the Italians
near Chies, an island in the Aegean
sea.
So far as official news is concerned,
it is confined to the report of the sink
ing of two Turkish torpedo boats, the
Alpagut and the Hamid Abad, off
Prevesa, by the Italian squadron com
manded by the Duke d'Abruzzi.
The further report, also received
here, that Greece is mobilizing troops,
is adding to the feeling of ALARM 1t
is realized that if these reports are
true there is justification for the be-
lief that the war is likely not to be
localized, as Italy had promised the
powers, and that the dismemberment
of the Turkish empire has, in fact,
been begun
The decision, which it was recently
announced that the government had
reached, not to defend Tripoli, but to
make an appeal to the powers after a
showing of force that would make the
inequality of the combat apparent, is
