Fire

The fire department was
called to Seaton's addition this
afternoon on account of a fire
in Mrs. Barnum's home. The
fire had a good start before the
arrival of the department and
the house was Quilted before
it was extinguished. A defec-
tive fiue caused the damage.
This is a serious loss to Mrs.
Barnum as she makes hos .iv-
ing by taking in wa.s..tt,,;.
Mrs. Barnum was insured
with w. II. Wlthrow, who
stated the loss would amount to
about 5000, fully covered by
insurance.
The alarm system worked to
perfection and is in excellent
shape now, thanks to the untir-
ing efforts of those in charge of
that department.

Denison, Ia, Jan. 20.-The
Missouri Valley and Denison
high school debate at the opera
house here tonight resulted in
a victory for Missouri Valley.
The question was: "Resolved,
That a graduated income tax
with an exemption of incomes
below 1000 per annum would
be a desirable modification of
our system of federal taxation. ,
Missouri Valley had the af-
firmative, maintained by Will
liam Welch, Julius Muller and
Herman Hoyer. The negative
by Denison was debated by
Marjorie Sims, Ethel Cook and
Charles Kelsey. The judges
were Prof. H. H. Smith of
Woodbine, Supt. Reed Of jeff
erson, and Supt. Roadman, of
Rockwell City,

Missouri Valley Again
Wins From Denison

The result of the debate last
evening between the high
schools of Denison and of Mis-.
souri, Valley was very crafty
ing to Missouri Valley. The
decision of the judges, Supt.
Reed of Jefferson, Supt. Road
man of Rockwell City, and
Prof. Smith of Woodbine, was
three in favor oe the Missouri
Valley team. Che winning
team was compnaed of William
Welsh, Julius Muller and Her.
man Hoyer. These three boys
will in three weeks meet one of
the other winners in last
nights series. The schedule
for the next series will be an
nounced next week. Denison
put up a strong debate but our
boys put up a stronger in the
minds of the judges. Denison
and her people treated the Mis-
souri, people with their usual
cordiality. A banquet was
given to the debating team and
teachers after the debate. 1t
was a very pleasant social feat
ure of the evening. Our high
school looks forward to next
year hoping that Denison will
again be with us at this place.

Work Being Pushed On New
Telephone system

Telephone system
Missouri Valley is the scene
of great activity in the tele-
phone field. Many men are
employed in the endeavor to
give the town a first class tele-
phone system. Dist. CONNER
cial Mgr, Welch, of Sioux City,
is here giving personal atten-
ton to the commercial work
and in speaking of the new sys-
TEN said, Il am pleased with
the progress of the work and l
trust that before the month Of
March passes by we will be
giving service over the new
Iowa Telephone Company's
system. This statement is of
course contingent with weather
conditions and the receiving of
material which so far has been
coming on time.
II hope that the people will
co-opererate with us by being
patient and considerate as we
are rushing the work with all
possible haste. In the mean
time we are giving the best
service possible over the old
grounded system now in use.
If the people will notify us
when they have trouble with
their present telephones we
will do our best to keep them
in order while we are prepar-
ing for the new service. How
ever the electric current at
night causes much noise on the
present grounded Zone wlre)
system which noise will be de-, e
away with on the new metal ic
(two wire) system.
'The new telephones are be-
ing rapidly placed upon the
walls so that we can connect
them up with the new switch
board VIII m it is ready. The
new switchboard has arrived
and has been taken to our new
building. Experts will arrive
next week and wire up the
board which will take possibly
thirty days of hard work.
eve have moved to our new
business office, back of the
State Savings Bank, for the ac-
comodation of the public where
the people can call for the pay
ing of their accounts and re-
ceive any information in regard
to the new system that may in
terest them.
eff there is anyone whom
we have missed in soliciting
who has decided that they wish
a telephone on the new system,
we would thank them to call at
the Office to contract for one,
or call up the manager and we
will send a man to see them, for
we would like to put the new
system in operation for ALL
on the same day.
During the work encourage
us by your patience and
boosting spirit, as we are max
| ing all the haste that is consist
ant with thorough and efficient
work"

with an open eye on certain ones
allegedly connected with Mr.. Dumas
and his Cass Lake operations. If
he was here, he failed to get next to
the deal pulled off at the Great
Northern depot until after it had
been pulled, and 90 far as finding
confederates of the Cass Lake mayor
in Virginia we think he has struck
the wrong place; for all the crooks
we have hereabouts are 30 high mp
in the scale that they need no help
in becoming fence or in dealing
with underlings. They've been in
the business 80 long that these uu.
necessary barnacles to success have
been shed.

-Four Trunk Lines Of Highway Proposed.

The good roads committee of the
Northern Minnesota Development
Association at a meeting held at
Bra1nerd on Tuesday laid out four
trunk lines of highway the build
ing of which will be urged upon
the county commissioners, the state
highway commission aud others
interested. The proposed roads
would run from East Grand Forks
to Duluth, from Moorhead to Du-
luth, from Duluth to the Twin Cities
and from International Falls to the
Twin Cities. These four trunk lines
would give the northern part of the
state basis from which lateral
roads could and would he built
which would cover the entire sec.
ton of the state.

Must Pay Percentage to County.

A recent ruling by the state su-
preme court on the law governing
the payment of portion of the
saloon license monies collected in
third class cities and villages will
compel the payment of tribute to
the extent of 10 per cent of the total
license receipts to the county, mean
ing in the case of St. Louis county
many thousands of dollars an
nually.
The ruling was based upon the
case of Sibley against the village Of
Gilbert, the village authorities con-
tending that the payment of this
percentage to the county or it's ex-
penditure on roads was optional
with the local government. The
supreme court holds differently,
and henceforth the percentage as
named will be turned into the coun-
ty coffers-to be used on road inn
provements in and near the city of
Duluth, in all likelihood.

UNKNOWN NAN KILLED :.
At the NORMAN MINE
Mangled Body Found BY Workmen at Bot
tom Of Shaft SUNDAY noIning.

The body of an unknown man
was found at the bottom of the Nor
man shaft by workmen Sunday
morning,the remains being so badly
disfig ured in the tall of 365 feet as
to render identification practically
I'm possible.
lhe remains were taken 10 the
Gillespie morgue, and the authori-
ties have since been busily engaged
in the attempt to identify the unfor-
tunate. The Oliver patrol on the
Norman beat state that at about 2
a. M Sunday man was seen walk
ing around the Iron Range depo,
in an apparently dazed or drunken
condition, and one workman at the
mine reports having seen the man
asleep in corner of the shaft-house
as he came up from work during
the night.
Practically every bone in the
mans body wasbroken in the fall,
and whether it was case of suicide
or the result of an over-indulgence
in ]aG-water will never be known,
When found the body bore nothing
10y which Identification could be
made, aside from picture. A gold
watch and ~ cents in cash were
found on the person, also a mine
check number, but this latter fails
to throw any light on the mans
identity, inasmuch as investigation
shows the last two or three owners
OF the corresponding check to be
alive.
