bad For assuredly no one would elect to live among a mass of craga and rocks unless the alternative were very disagreeable indeed. There seems little place for crops to grow in Montenegro, and the people would fare badly were 1t not for Europe's international jealousy.
 Montenegro has some 5O,OOO men, the sturdiest. biggest and brayest men in Europe, all born fighters, all accustomed to carrying arms from
 a,5d. The help of 5O,OOO such fighters is no mean asset in a con troversary between powers. In 1877 it was Montenegro's aid which helped Russia win an easy victory over Tur- key. And so Austria, Russia and Italy all pay court to this rugged mountain country. Austria built the superb road which opened the way from Cattaro to Cetinje. Russia is building in Cetinje a fine group of government buildings for the Monte negro officials, and to Italy Montene- gro owes her superb harbor at Anti vari. It is said that whenever Mon tenegros ruler wants a shipload of guns all he has to do is to drop a hint to that effect, and Austria. Rus sia and Italy, like three suitors for ladys hand, fall over one another to see which can have the honor of supplying the little country's wants.
 Naughty Giants.
 "Cetinje. the capital, is situated in a valley hemmed in on all sides by towering rocks. Our automobile de- scended into this wild valley and dashed along long street to the postofice. From the postofice we walked to the hotel, and felt like pigmies as we passed the big men of Montenegro. I do not recall seeing any man in Cetinje who was less than six feet tall, while most of them must have been six feet three or four inches. And all so armed to the teeth, revolvers, swords and dGggers in their broad belts, their heads thrown back, stalwart and erect They look as proud and naughty in their bearing as if they were kings each and every one of them.
 "The town has one long street, flanked on both sides by modest and two-story houses. There are a doz- en or so short streets which inter- sect the main street, and on one of these little cross streets are the pal aces of King Peter and of his son, Prince Mirko. The Kings palace is a plain dwelling about as large as fourth.rate residence in St Louis. The Princes palace is a two-story cottage about as big as the home of the average American carpenter. It touches the houses to the left and right of it, and has no yard in front of it. The little porch buts on the sidewalk.

 The ore obtained through ledge development capitalized the mill and placed the property on the road to future.
 Another distinctive feature in the history of this property, originally known as the De Croft mine, is that it's first development was done through the employment of native la Dor under the direction of A. M. Arch angelsh, Russian mining engin- ger.

a license. Representatives of the COM

complaint of E. J. deLendrecie.
Mr.. Wolfman and his ASSISTANTS gave
a two -days' exhibit of their gowns at
the Waldorf hotel, notifying promi-
nent society women of the city OF their
appearance here several days prior to
their arrival. 1t was the claim of the

ber of women ordered and, 1t was
claimed that sales had been made

ways stood, and still stands, for sane,
stable government. Labor is employ
ed, and all lines Of business are safe
and prosperous. Reciprocity with
Canada is now a dead issue. The live
issue at present is not whether we
shall have reciprocity with Canada,
which at least promises some COM
shall have free trade with Canada
without compensation, and free trade
with all, other countries in the world,
as Is proposed by the democratic can
didate and platform. The older vot-
ers will recall the distress we suffer
ed from 1898 to 1897 under the demo-
cratic Wilson bill: to those who went
through that period, the invitation of
the present democratic candidate for
president, Wilson, to return thereto
has no allurements, and younger vot-
ers should inquire carefully before de-
Gliding to vote for a return to those
distressful conditions. 4sB. ~ +
The third party is made up from
boilers from the republican party and
seceders from the democratic party.
1t has no purpose further than the
ambition of the candidate who organ
ized it and who nominated himself as

CasseIton Called on
Fargo Fire Department
.-OId Landmark Gone
First National Bank Block, Built Thirty Years Ago Was En-
tneIy Destroyed Early This Morning
R. c. Kte, Owner Of Building Says It Viii Be Replaced at
Once With Fire-Proof Structure
Fargo Department Went Out on Special Train But the Flames
Were Under Control When They Arrived

Casseltou, N. D., Oct GA 100000
fire completely destroyed the oldest
and biggest business block of Cassei-
ton at o'clock this morning when for
four hours flames swept through the
First National bank building. 1t was
thought at first that the blaze would
exceed the great conhagration of two
years ago and the Fargo ire depart
ment' was called upon for assistance.
Though the Fargo fire fighters were
prompt in their response to the call,
the flames were well under control
by the time of their arrival on the
scene so that it was unnecessary TO
unload any of their apparatus brought
along on a special train.
| The fire started at o'clock in the
drug store of l.. A. Taubert. The
origin is yet unknown. The Taubert
store was complete loss as were the

N. D. Voters Gradually Swing
ing to Taft ~.
SENTIMENT or FARMERS
SENATOR McUMsER SPENT THE
FIRST WEEK OF HIS SPEAKING
TOUR IN THE STATE-FINps
TAFT is STEADILY GROWING
EVERYWHERE.

Il am very much encouraged over
the outlook of the coming election
from what l have gathered on the
first week Of my tour through the
state" said Sen. Porter J. McCumber
to Forum representative this noon
at the Metropolitan hotel on his way
home to Wahpeton, where he will
spend a portion of tomorrow before
going to Minot for the opening speech
Of his tour next week.
The sentiment seems to be swing
ing to Taft throughout the state" he
continued. AT first the change
seemed gradual, but in the last couple
of weeks the voters appear to be rap
idly coming to the final decision and
President Taft has made most notice
able gains.
Il have found that really only the
main objection to the president among
the North Dakota voters has been
based on his reciprocity treaty, Ca
madam reciprocity, while an objec.
tonable feature to the people of this
state, was on the whole something
the majority of the people of the
country wanted. The president thought
he was acting in the interests of the
majority of the people of the United
states, so that his error. If error 1t
really was. was onelof judgment rather
than one of heart.
And now the president has repudi-
ated reciprocity and is standing for re-
election on a platform that expresses
itself definitely against reciprocity.
Many of the people do not realize that
and are looking to Wilson or Roose-
Welt to help give vent to their feel
ings which were aggrieved. Few OF
them appreciate that Wilson stands on
q platform that not only endorses Ca
/ madam reciprocity, but In free trade
with the whole world in food stuffs
I "A vote for the third party is only
assisting the democratic nominees and
making 1t impossible for the repub-
| leans to continue in power. A glance
at the map will show that there are
| very few states Roosevelt can carry.
| He doesn't expect to carry them, even
| though IL is loudly talked about. Many
are beginning to appreciate this and
/ the tide is rapidly changing to Taft
! throughout this state, which is very
| encouraging"
Senator McCumber will speak In
/ Minot Monday night. in Harvey Tues
4 day evening and in Willlston Wednes-
day evening. The engas ement for
Thursday has not yet been arranged
!! for, but on Friday night he will speak

of the building we're considerably
smoked.
The First National bank building
was erected thirty years ago and was
one of the substantial landmarks Of
the town. 1t was a well built two
story brick building, $50 feet long and
so feet in width.
1t Is the intention Of r. G. Kittel,
president of the First National hank,
to Immediately construct a new fire
proof building TO replace the old struc-
ture. Temporarily the bank will con-
tinUe it's operations in a portion OF the
Frank Lynch implement house until
more CommOdious quarters can be Sc
cured.
The citizens of Casselton and the
local fire department feel much in
debted to the excellent services rem
dered by Chief Sutherland and his
men of Fargo who responded so
quickly to tho call for help. The Far
go fire department has always been
found ever ready to assist, as was
we'll demonstrated by their efficient
services rendered two years ago. Their
work yesterday afternoon was In a
large share responsible for the dis
patch with which the fire was gotten
under control.
At o'clock this morning the flames
were we'll confined within the wall of
the burning building and there was
then not much danger Of their spread
ing to other structures in the imme-
date vicinity.
