RAISING MINK
MoOrhead Man Successful in an In
FAINT Industry

Moorhead, Minn., Sept. 10
Through the domestication of wild
mink, S. 8. Hanson, deputy sheriff
of Clay county, and trapper and
hunter of some reputation in this
section, expects to reap a fortune.
A year ago his fall, Mr.. Hanson
trapped three mink, one male and
two female, in steel traps, on his
farm near Hitterdal, MINI. He sue
ceeded in getting these two mink out
of the traps alive and in good con-
dition and took them home with him.
He at once built a concrete pen
and a system of runways for them
and began the task of domestication.
This spring IA little mink were born
in the pen, seven in litter. All
the young mink have lived and are
now as healthy as the parent ami
mails. Mr.. Hanson's plan is to
keep all of the females and dispose
of the males. If the six fold In
crease continues to be the rule, he ex-
poets a fortune within a few years.
A warm house has been built for
them, with a concrete floor and a
series of runways. All of the walls
are lined with wire netting. For
the seventeen mink, Mr.. Hanson has
three shelves or runways, feet
wide and IL feet in length. "They
are great fish eaters" said Mr..
Hanson yesterday. II feed them all
the fish that I can catch and II the
fish are not biting, I get some fresh
meat of some kind for them.
II expect Co keep on raising them
and then to dispose of them as fast
as I can without robbing myself,
in pairs. I think can get $25 a
pair for them without any trouble
after have advertised them for sale
in the different outdoor and sporting
magazines.

FARM HELP SCARCE

Farmers find threshing help much
scarcer than usual and calls are made
daily for men to fill up threshing
crews. Most of the men secured for
this work come from South Dakota
and ten or dozen men day are
employed by farmers who wait for
the arrivals of the train from the
south. The hobo element Is scarce
at this season. The men coming
from the south mostly have tickets
purchased to northern points, but
farmers have paid back the price Of
tickets in several instances to get the
men to stay here. The scarcity OF
work in South Dakota is sending
many young men into this state
looking for work.

FIRE INSURANCE
" INSPECTORS
RISKS AND HOLDING
MEETING FOR EDUCATION
OF PUBLIC


in jamestown and other towns of
the state to pay high rates of in
surance have rebelled against the
evident unfairness in the wide diff
ference in rates, not only in the same
town, on the same street, and in
the same block, but in other towns.
The matter of rates is an arbitrary
one, wholly in control of the insur-
ance companies. The unfairness of
a we'll protected, substantially built
town, being obliged to pay in rates
of insurance for the greater hazards
of other towns, has always appealed
to every insurer. but no remedy so
far in this state has yet appeared.
The insurance companies who have
representatives here claim that fire
insurance risks in this state can be
greatly reduced and more equitable
rating obtained If certain reforms in
our state insurance laws are put into
effect The chief of these is what is
known as the state fire marshal law,
which authorizes a competent man to
inspect and report upon the origin
of fires, not only of fires whose origin
is suspected to be incendiary, but all
fires.
It will be news to many North Da-
kota property owners to know that
the insurance rates in South Dakota
and Minnesota are much less than
in North Dakota. In fact the insur-
ance rates in North Dakota are from
two to three times as high as in
South Dakota and Minnesota on all
classes of insurance, mercantile risks
as we'll as farm risks. The fire
waste from carelessness, ignorance
and probable incendiarism in North
! Dakota is said to be extremely heavy.
South Dakota, about FIVE years ago,
began a reform in her insurance
laws; a fire marshal and building in
spection law and the same has been
we'll enforced. The result is that
where fire insurance rates were form
erly as high as in North Dakota,
they have been rapidly reduced until
the South Dakota rates are now ev-
en- less than the Minnesota rates.
The law sustains and backs up the
fire marshal and building inspector.
The rates in Minnesota are also be-
ing reduced on account of a more
complete and thorough fire marshal
law, and the losses and rates are de-
creasing in consequence. In Ohio
the annual fire loss in the last three
years has been reduced according to
insurance statistics from 25 million
dollars to z million dollars, owing
largely to the workings of different
laws. Laws of this kind have great
effect in remedying the injustice of
forcing good risks to pay for the
poor ones, in the matter of rates.
In South Dakota the fire marshal has
convicted seventeen men of incen-
diarism and they are now serving
their terms in the penitentiary.
At the last session of the North
Dakota legislature state fire mar
shall bill was introduced, and was
strongly advocated, but for some rea-
son failed of passage. The efforts
of the insurance men in this state are
being directed along the lines OF
creating sufficient public opinion
to pass similar law to that of
South Dakota. under which insur-
ance rates in that state have been
greatly reduced in the last five years.

ems and got in the buggy to ride but
a short distance and did not take the
shells out Of the gun. When he got
out he lifted the gun in such man
ner that the muzzle of it was pointed
toward him. The trigger caught on
something in the buggy and the gun
was discharged, the charge striking
him in the arm between the elbow
and shoulder and some of the shot
came out back of the shoulder.

SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1911.
SHOULD THE CITY BUY THE OLD
LIGHT PLANT?

Yes; If the owners are willing to
take what it is actually worth to the
city. 1t is self-evident that two light
plants can not be profitably operated
in Bryan. 1t is not good policy to
cause depreciation in the value Of
any property, If 1t can be avoided
without mourning a greater evil.
Neither is it good policy to take adj
vantage of circumstances to force pri-
vate corporations or individuals to
sell their property for less than it's
real worth.
On the other hand, 1t is the duty of
the city council to safeguard the in
terests Of the public. The mayor and
councilmen are agents of the people
and should act in plain business
matter as other agents are expected
to do. Personal considerations should
have no influence whatever.
OF course, the city will have no use
for the power plant of the old COM
pany, so it is not to be considered.
The city has already purchased the
water distribution system, and if the
company is willing to take actual
value for the light distribution system,
or so much of it as the city can use,
1t is the proper thing for the city to
buy it. But the city is under no obli-
cation to pay cent for fracnhise or
goodwill because they are not worth
a cent to the city.
1t is matter for felicitation that
they mayor and council are in perfect
harmony in regard to the plans for all
public utilities now in process of de-
velopment, and the people of Bryan
have full confidence that they will do
the right thing by all concerned.

The farmers of Texas are entitled
to voice in the government, and the
only way they can get it is through
the initiative. They also want the
power to veto bad laws, and the refer
endum will give them that. Moreover,
they want means of discharging
their servants who prove incompetent
or unfahhful, and the recall will en-
able them to do that. Nobody who
believes that the people are capable
of self-government can consistently
