Township Swept,

Ambrose. N. D., Oct. 22-Lincoln
Valley experienced one Of the most
disastrous prairie fires she has wit
messed in Ave Or six years. Nearly the
entire north half Of the township was
burned over. Had it not been for the
untiring efforts of people living both
far and e many hundred acres Of
unthreshed grain would have been de-
stroyed and fortunately the loss in this
way was not great. out many hundred
tons Of hay was burned and Geo.
Krans lost his barn. which he had re.
Gently erected.
The fire was accidentally started by
a stove being upset inside a shacl;
which was being moved by one of the
homesteaders. There had been no fire
in the stove for several hours and no
danger was expected from this source.
Another fire Was started a few miles
to the east of the main fire by some
one endeavoring to burn a fire guard
around a hay stack. but owing to the
severe wind were unable to control
their backfire and many tons of hay
burned for the homesteaders, which
might have been saved.

PRAIRIE FIRES
ARE WIDESPREAD
Much Damage is Done in
Various Parts of the
State.

jamestown. n. D.. Oct. 23.-Fanaed
by a forty-mile an hour gale one OF
the worst prairie fires that has oc-
CURED in Stuts.nan county i'll several
wears, burned over a strip nearly
twenty-seven miles long and from Two
to five miles, commencing about twelve
miles northwest OF Cleveland n
burning northwest TO within a mile
and a half Of Pingrse when the vino
suddenly whipped around Il the north
and the flames passed south on Doth
SIDES of the Pipestem river, not TO be
checked until they had burned below
Buchanan. Loss of MANY grain fields
and several sets Of small buildings was
sustained, but although reports iron,
the hills are msa gre. 1t is UNDERSTOOD
that no lives We're ~sacrihced. The
flames burned flercely through the
rank, long prairie grass dried by the
two weeks fair weather. The names
leaped fifteen feet high in places. while
the heavy wind made the prairie fire ?
roaring furnace.
1t is believed that the fire origi-
mated from a camp abandoned by a
tareshing crew northwest OF Cleve-
land. The wind came from the south
west. pointing the head fire straight
fires branched off to the north and
south. The prairie fire leaped the
Pipesrem river in two places and while
fought by every farmer and %thresning
crew along its path. only the sudden
veering Of the wind from the south
west to the north is believed to have
saved the little city. The FIRE then was
turned south and Joy approached
Buchanan where by blowing. backfres
and beating. it was finally checked.
One branch Of the fire Went north
towards Woodwcrth. but the head fire
which spread out like ar immense fan.
came within a mile OF Pineree and
the heat was intense. The fire came
within a mile and a half of Buchan-
an. burning on both sides of the Pipe
stem river.
The greatest loss occurred in 1896.
where some small buildings and sex.
eral fields of grain in shock were de.
stroyed. A school house five miles
south Of Pingree was burned. Grain
losses are reported at the Kinnaae
farm. 24-142-67, also the Gingrey
farm. ~22-142-66, and others.

Governor Wilson Has Not Matured.

a theoretical one, who is respected for
his integrity, but his political execu-

Wants Farmer Candidate.

Atwater, Mimi, July ~, 1912.
Farmers and Friends:
We have for some time, been
searching our county papers for an
announcement from some good hon.
est temperance-progressive RepubG-
can farmer as a candidate for re-
preventative, for the legislature from
Kandiyohi county. It seems to me
and many others of the same mind
that the member for representative
for Kandiyohi county should be a
good progressive farmer, and a resi-
dent outside Of the City of Willmar.
I do not think it to be fair that the
City Of Willmar should have the en-
tire representation of our Kandi-
yohi county. The farming interest
should and ought to have at least one
half Of the representation.
Early this spring Mr.. E. Racine, q
lawyer from the City Of Willmar, an.
nounced himself as a candidate fol-
representative. 1 understand he is
a newly moved-in lawyer to Willmar
from some outside county, who does
not have, nor has gained so very
much knowledge outside Of his prac.
tice as an attorney at law, Of tn,
needs and requirements Of the sever
al interests of the farming commun.
(ity at large Of our county.
I have not the slightest prejudice
against Mr.. Rachie or his profes.
sion, but believe it very unfair, tina
the City of Willmar should demand
to have all the legislative representa-
ton from this district.
Therefore I think it is about tim,
that we farmers and others of tn,
same view, at once look around, an.
hunt up some good honest and up
right, progressive temperance Re
publican to file for this Office. Some
one that we know we can depend on
outside the city Of Willmar, and ear
nestly put our shoulders together an,
elect him for representative of on
Kandiyohi county.
| 1t is not absolutely necessary tina
he should be lawyer, or big talk
er full Of much speech. A level head
ed man with good common sense vii
do as we'll, watchful on all questions
coming up and to vote honestly an
diligently on the same, for the hes
of the whole county and people a
large.
! l have had a good man in view 70
some time, for this position, but a
can not get his consent thereto,
dare not mention his name.
i; Respectfully yours,
A. FLYGARE.

Alexandria is in the throes of the
first wholesale blind-pig prosecu-
tons. That is an inevitable fight
which must be fought to a finish in
order to clean up the town. 1t is the
bluff Of the liquor element which
must be "called' by the "dry" ele-
ment, or the inevitable reaction will
come. It will not take those who
value their regulations very long to
find out that they must not stand
back Of or condone breakers.
Especially is this the case with any,
one charged in an official capacity
with enforcing the law. Let any
such beware of being tarred with the
blind pig stick.

With the progressive vote divided
between Lee; Young and Gordon, it
would seem that Eberhart will have
a walk-away in the Republican prim-
aries. Any other result would be
wonderful indeed. Such a result will
force an independent state ticket by
the Roosevelt party and the dream
of the benevolent assimilation" of
the entire republican party Of Mime
sofa into the "bull moose NAV will
disappear. The result will be the tri-
umphant election of Ringdal, whose
progressiveness none can dispute.

Several newspapers supporting the
present state administration are ad-
vising their readers to ignore the Sec
ond choice feature of the primary
ballot and vote only for their frs
choice candidates. This is bad ad-
vice, and is an attempt to nullify the
law. The voter who neglects to vote
his second choice where there are
more than two candidates simply los
es that much Of his vote. True his
second choice does not count for any
thing as long as his first choice is in
the race, but if the first choice candi-
date falls out, the voters second
choice still gives him something to
say about who shall be nominated.

If Roosevelt wanted to disarm the
old party politicians entirely and vim
dictate his sincerity in the principles
he espouses he would refuse the nom
ination for president and give his
support to one of the other big men
of his movement. Such an act would
be the making Of the party and make
Roosevelt bigger man in our coun-
try's history.
