Fire Broke Out in Roundhouse at
Overly on Sunday Evening

The four stall round house at
Overly was destroyed by fire
on Sunday evening. II h
blaze was first noticed about 8
o'clock and had such start
then that the efforts of the

availing. The building was
destroyed and serious damage
was done to three locomotives.
The fire started near the heat
ing apparatus in the rear of the
rOundhOuse. The 500 officials

is believed they will rebuild at
once.

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION,

They state that Bangor, Maine, will
rise Phoenix-like from the ashes,
and will be better town than ever
so far as the buildings are concerned.
Would it not have been better to
have used little foresight in the
building of the factories, store ana
warehouses that have been destroyed
There is evidence coming to light
every day of the fact that building and
fire ordinances in larger cities are
being disobeyed and in some instances
it has developed that money has en-
tered into the overlooking of some of
the defects. In Bangor there were
no lives lost, as far as has been re-
ported, but that is merely one of the
fortunate incidents of the fire. In a
much smaller fire in New York re-
Gently scores of girls were the victims
of mans selfishness in not taking
proper precautions in the erection of
buildings and the proper method of
fire escapes.
In some of the European countries
there exists a model plan of building
inspection and the fire losses there
are so small compared with the losses
in the United States that the figures
in this country in comparison are ap-
palling. Proper fireproof buildings
and even then equipped with fire es-
capes will 60 a long way towards
stopping the great loss of life and pro-
perty in this country.
In Bismarck there have been some
efforts made at different times to
overrule the fire ordinances insofar
as the building of some buildings with.
in the fire limit is concerned, but they
have all been, very properly, frowned
upon by the officials.

AMERICAN INVENTION AND
SKILL.

In the senate committees hearing
on the boot and shoe industry the in
vestigation tends toward trust meth.
DDS rather than tariff considerations.
Some of the most powerful trusts deal
In articles that are on the free list
and 1t is useless to belabor protection
on their account. Coffee, which is
admitted free, is dearer than when
the duty was 2 cents a pound. The
foreign price was marked up when
the duty was removed, and Brazil has
since put in operation a valorization
law that seeks to fix prices by storage
and other regulation of the supply.
When the duty on coal was suspended
a few years ago, as supposed meas
ure of relief during a great strike in
the eastern mining region, the for
eign price was Immediately advanced
and no coal was imported. 1t by no
means follows that putting an article
on the free list lowers its price to
consumers. Trusts exist regardless
of protective tariffs. They thrive un-
der free-trade policies. If combina-
tons in restraint of trade are to be
overcome the point of attack must not
be mistaken.
1t is stated In congress that Eng
fish, French and German manufacture
ers of shoes are adopting American
machinery, styles and methods. In
the last six months of 1910 the i'm.
ports Of shoes amounted to $177,0OO,
while the value of shoes exported
was $13,000,000, an increase of $3,OOO.-
900 over the corresponding period in
1909. If American shoe machinery is
admitted to be the best, it is because
of superior inventiveness and enter
prise as developed under a protective
system. And If the taste displayed
in making American shoes is increas-
ingly appreciated in Europe, a similar
reason must be given. The workman
ship and range of prices also are
evidently satisfactory. Our machin-
cry would not be wanted abroad I'M
less 1t were best, nor would our shoes
unless most pleasing in appearance.
BY installing American machinery and
initiating American styles, foreign
manufacturers, paying half the rate
OF American wages and helped by
the cheap freights of immense ocean

WHAT DENVER HAS DONE.

The people of Denver have just won
4 ten years struggle for the consoli-
dation Of the city and county of Den.
yer under one set of officials and with
greatly reduced taxes, says the Min.
neapolis Journal editorially. The COL
orado supreme court, in a decision
just handed down, reverses itself and
upholds the legality of the legislative
act under which consolidation was
effected.
The consolidation will abolish be.
tween three and four hundred feed
ing places at the public crib and will
save to the taxpayers Of Denver more
than half a million dollars a Year.
There is no guesswork about this
saving. for the consolidation was in
force before the first decision of the
supreme court overturned it. The
public expenditures under consolida-
ton in one year were $685. SAG, and
the next year with consolidation abol-
ished the amount was $2,266,152. The
tax levy for city purposes is 1919 mills,
and that for county purposes is SIS
mills. Under consolidation the tax
limit is Is mills, so that practically
the entire county tax will be cut off
in the city proper. With the same
assessment as last year, the taxpayers
Of Denver will under consolidation
save $696,000, or about $500 per cap
tia. These figures We quote from the
Denver News, because they are illum.
NATIVE and because they suggest how
readily huge sum might annually be
saved here, We're the Minneapolis and

BURNS MOST COMMON ACCIDENT

BURNS MOST COMMON ACCIDENT
Records kept in hospitals show that
burns are the most common of acct
aents, and yet few families protect
themselves against their results. Dan
gerous blisters making skin grating
necessary have come from scalds in
the kitchen, because the family had
no special safeguard to prevent. Now
comes the University Of Minnesota
with the marvellous chemical discov'
cry, Benetol, which, If kept close al
hand and applied at once to burn OF
scald will stop the pain at once, and
prevent blistering. Besides this, Ben

Minneapolis Tribune: The i'm
parchment of Judge Cowan,. of whom
we know nothing but the evidence,
was coarse joke, redeemed by its
failure from social tragedy.
The dignity of the state has suf-
fered enough from this invocation of
an archaic institution by bunch
of politicians to remove a political
enemy, of whom the worst they could
prove was that he unbent sometimes
in way that used to be universal in
North Dakota at time when it
thought quite well of itself. 1t would
nave suffered in more than dignity,
had Judge Cowan been removed.
One of his counsel said at the be-
ginning that the institution of i'm
parchment was obsolete. 1t was OBJ
solete and has had no proper place
in the United States for generations.
1t was relic of old world institutions
out Of harmony with the American
system. 1t has never once served a
vital purpose. 1t has rarely been in
voked except for political vengeance,
and has rarely succeeded for any pur-
pose.
The perils against which impeach.
ment protected the British people are
guarded against here by balanced
powers, division OF authority and
short terms of Office. 1t is ridiculous
to move this ponderous engine against
man whose term will soon expire, or
judge who can be overruled above.
Let us send it to the scrap heap Of
history, with bills of attainder and
ACKNOWLEDGMENT for treason.

MONEY IN SUGAR BEErS,

st. Cloud journal Press: A few of
the farmers in Benton county near
Foley tried the experiment of raising
sugar beets for the factory in Carver
county, and those who understand the
business are we'll satisfied with results.
Some Of the best yields were from IL
to 20 tons per acre. NJ. F. Freude
from two acres harvested nearly 20
tons. gross weight. After dockage has
been taken out the net. weight will be
about 81 tons. and the price paid is IS
per ton. This will bring Mr.. Freude
over SIS per acre. He formerly lived in
Carver county, where he had ex-
perience in raising these beets, and he
says he gained additional knowledge
in his experiment this year. He says
he would have had even a bigger yield
this year had he thinned out the young
plants. He expects 30 do even better
next year. 1t Is reported that the re-
suits are so satisfactory that another
year about $50 acres will be planted
near Foley to the sweet beets. ::
