CHILDREN START FIRE
Lansford House Quilted by the Flames
Before the Firsmen Arrived
Other Buildings Saved.

Lansford Tribune: The r. c. Per-
kins house just south OF the Presby-
terrain church, occupied by Phillip
Palady and family, was discovered on
fire Saturday morning at 9 o'clock,
and before the fire department could
get water the building was entirely
Quilted and the church and HoIel Ru-
ford were threatened by the flames
When about to start the fire engine
the battery box fell apart, and new
batteries had to be procured before
the engine could be started and water
furnished to the waiting firemen. But
when the water did come the boys
made short work of putting out the
flames.
The furniture of the Presbyterian
church was removed from the edifice
for 1t was thought that the building
would surely go, it's close proximity to
the burning building and the fact that
the wind was blowing from the south
east making the idea more than rea-
sonable. =
It is understood that both Mr.. and
Mrs. Palady were out of the house at
the time the fire started, and that the
children in playing with a lighted
candle set fire to a curtain, and it was
only a moment before the house was
full of flames and smoke. The Paladys
saved but little of their household ef-
fects and will have to start anew.
The building was covered by in
surance, so Mr.. Perkins will not be a
heavy loser.

One hour and half of hard work

new CUTOFF
| TO The COAST

Lewistown. Mont, Dec. 25.--Two
more important moves have just been
made in the railway situation. which
further develop the Great Northern's
plans in connection with the contem-
plated cut-off to the Pacific coast.
Wickum brothers. having the contract
for constructing the line between Ibis
city of Moccasin, distance Of about
thirty-tw miles, have sublet to Wyom-
ing contractors the construction Of
eleven miles of this work from Lew
istown west toward the Judith river.
wickum brothers win operate from
the river toward Lewistown, and it
was not known until today that a
start would also be made from this
end. Work is to begin as soon as the
equipment can be brought in. This is
taken to mean that the Great North
ern is to complete the Great Falls
Lewistown line at the earliest possible
day.
In this connection the company's
right Of way agents have begun the
purchase of right of-way through
Spring Creek canyon, Immediately
east OF the city, and extending but a
comparatively short distance when
1t opens into wide country and is
taken as confirming the reports that
the Hill road will not stop at Lew
istown at all. but continue east to
New Rockford, N. D., completing the
cutoff at that point where the main
line will be Joined. This CUTOFF will
save about 100 miles OF distance for
the Great Northern.

In addition to the movements inside
the state. North Dakota has taken
membership and active part in the
northwestern development league ac-
tivities, which organizations include
the seven northwestern states and
Alaska in its membership.
All OF these activities have tended to
bring together the different parts Of
the state, have brought about more
cordial relationships and better un-

has come to our people.
Confidence In North Dakota and her
future is in the air. We believe in her,
and our confidence win spread.

R. R. SPEEDER And.
BUGGY COLLIDED.

Lykeston Tribune: The motor car
used on the section collided yesterday
with Nick Winandy's buggy at the
railroad crossing on Main street,
spilling Mr.. Winandy and the four
children with him out onto the ground
The children escaped injury, but Mr.
Winandy was picked up unconscious
and carried to the drug store. He
came to almost Immediately there and
seemed as good as ever.
Mr.. Thole and son, Leo, who were
on the car were both bruised up more
or less. The car, too, was put out Of
commission.
The back part of Mr.. winandy's
buggy was smashed, and team ran
away. The motor car struck the hind
wheel of the buggy. 1t was coming
from the east at good rate OF speed.
Owing to the slippery rails 1t was i'm
possible to stop. Mr.. Winandy saw
the car coming, but thought he would
have time to cross ahead of 1t.
1t was a very fortunate accident
taking into consideration what might
have happened.

Man AGED 93 IS
Under ARREST

Grafton, n D.. Dec. 26.-Christie
Currie, aged % years and probably
the oldest man in Walsh county was
arrested upon complaint Of one Of his
old-time cronies. The crime preferred
against the old man is that of main
tanning a common nuisance at Mimic
during the past summer.
This last arrest caps the climax OF
old Christite's relation with the auth
critics Of Walsh county. He served
time in 1904 for the same ofEense and
since then has been involved in other
civil and criminal actions.
A noticeable coincident about the
old mans arrest is the fact that his
famous son Charley, who was recent
ly pardoned from the state peniten-
tiary where he was serving two and
one-half year term for grand larceny
arrived home only a few hours before
his father was taken in custody by
the long arm of the law.

joint Meeting
A Big SUCCESS

The joint meeting of the school Of
ficers Of the county and the school OF
forestry farmers institute proved to
courtroom was packed both afternoon
and evening.
Nearly 100 school directors and
clerks were in attendance. many of the
districts being represented by the en-
tire board.
Pres. ]. H. Worst of the agricultural
college gave an able and instructive
address on Preventable Evils in North
Dakota Farming and Professor Wal
dron also of the agricultural college,
spoke on The Future of Forestry
Schools and on The Care and Improve
ment of School Grounds, at the after
noon session on Friday.
President Worst's address was a
forceful and practical treatment of the
agricultural situation in this state,
was full of splendid suggestions for
the betterment Of farm conditions and
included discourse on the most i'm
portant phases of dry farming. Full
justice to his address could only be
done by a verbatim report, which is
not practicable at this time.
Professor Wadron in his discourse
on The Future of Forestry Schools
dwelt on the practical side Of the work,
urged the farmers to cooperate with
the directors and faculty of the school
of forestry in an effort to make the
work of that institution intensely prac-
teal He was of the opinion that the
- ~ 49,
should overshadow the professional
side, in training of students for forest
ry service. In his talk on the Care
and Improvement Of School Grounds
Professor Waldron spoke of the con-
ditions so common in our rural schools
today and by means of charts showed
how these might be greatly improved
at little cost. His address was listen
ed to with marked attention and no
doubt will bear fruit In the way Of in-
proved school grounds throughout the
county.
Education of the Masses was the
subject of the address given Friday
evening by President Worst. 1t was a
masterful treatment OF the subject
practical and sound. He pleaded for
better school privileges for the coun-
try child. THE rural school," said the
speaker, should not only provide the
training necessary for the children of
the community but should be the So
cial center of the community as WELL"
Consolidation Of the rural schools was
urged as the best means OF solving the
rural school problem.
The Saturday morning session of the
school officers was given over to the
discussion of the new school laws.
Through the courtesy Of the Botti-
neau school board and City Supt. G.
L. Cole the schools Of Bottineau were
inspected.

Granville Herald: Harold King met
with an accident the first of the week
that may cause him to be laid up for
several weeks. He was riding horse
back when the horse stumbled and
fell. In some manner his foot was
caught under the animal when he fell.
The injury, while painful, did not cause
him to come to town to consult the
doctor until the next day. At that
time the foot was SO badly swollen
hat it will be impossible to tell wheth-
err it is just sprained ankle until he
can submit to an x-ray examination.
Mr.. King intended to leave this week
for Missouri. but the accident will de-
lay his departure.

REALLY OPENED THEIR EYES
Practitioners Remark, However, Left
Young Minister Somewhat In
In the Dark.

Rev. Henry r. Rose in the Newark
Star tells the story of a young min
lister who had recently taken charge
Of a small parish In Vermont. He
aspired to greater things and a large
field, and In the hope that his reputa-
ton would travel beyond the limits OF
the village to which he had been sent
he threw into his m all the
force and eloquence at his command.
He was, however, totally unprepared
for what was intended for a compli-
ment, but which was put to him in
such a way that 1t left him in doubt
as to the real impression he had made.
One Sunday morning, after an espe-
cially brilliant effort, he was greeted
by an old lady, who was one Of the
most faithful attendants at all serv-
ices. Approaching the young minister,
she said: "Ah, sir, we do enjoy your
sermons so much, they are 30 In
structive. Do you believe 1t, we never
knew what sin was until you came to
the parish"
