MAY PETITION FOR
A blue SKY Law
Commercial Club Committee
Will Make a Thorough
Investigation First.

The state and national affairs COM
mittee Of tho Commercial club has
under consideration what is known
as a blue sky law for this state.
Only three Of the six members Of the
committee attended the meeting last
night. and II will be necessary to have
q quorum before 1t Is decided whether
1t would be available to have such a
law for North Dakota.
The term ''blue sky law originated
in Kansas. 1t is q law to prevent the
successful operation Of wildcat
schemes. and originated from selling
territorial rights for worthless
schemes, where the buyer, as he ex-
pressed 1t. found he had bought MOTH
Ing but blue sky, or in other words
something that he could have got for
nothing. Four years the Kansas bank
commissioners had been agitating the
matter and last year the Kansas leg
islature passed a law covering the
question. Since then Wisconsin, Vir-
ginia and Massachusetts, have passed
similar laws.
It was decided at the meeting last
night to write for Information to the
states that have adopted a "blue sky"
law. One Of the committee suggested
that 1t might not be for the good of
the state to advertise that such a law
was necessary for the protection Of the
public in North Dakota. At any rate
the advisability or necessity of such
a measure will BIT thoroughly weigh
ed before the Commercial club asks
the legislature to pass 1t.

Last Night.

Tower City. N. D.. Nov. 15.-Fire.
which began about 1880 o'clock last

Merchants bank. the A. NJ. Voorhees,
hardware store and the r. +. Rorthke
butcher shop.
Outside of some of the furniture in
small fixtures in one or two of the 9TH

were destroyed. Practically the entire
stock of the Mikolai millinery store
and the Rorthke butcher shop were re-
moved before the fire reached the
structures. Some Of Mr.. Rorthfle's
meats were lost after they had been
removed.
G. G.. Ward, president. Of the First
National bank. was using the old
Farmers and Merchants bank build
ing as a rooming place. and all Of his
personal effects were removed before
the. building caught fire.
The fact that the wind blew from
the west is all that saved the town
from being wiped out. II it had been
blowing any other direction. other
buildings would have caught and It
would have been impossible for the

is physical director of the Y. NJ. G. A..
had his first meeting with the Boy
Scouts OF Grand Forks last night in
the association building. Only ten
scouts attended the meeting, and
belong to the organization in this city.
Mr.. Thompson believes that the boy
scout spirit can be worked UP in
Grand Forks. and that 1t will be pos
sible in he near future to have an
enrolment Of 100. The Boy Scouts
were strong in Manhattan. Kas.. where
Mr.. Thompson was before he came
here. and he hopes to york up the
enthusiasm here.
There are three classes of scouts
the tenderfoot. the second class and
the first class. Some Of the Grand
Forks boys have passed most of the
examination for the second class, but
not all Of It. and there are no first
class scouts here. But Mr.. Thompson
says he does not believe there is a
man in Grand Forks who could pass
the examination for the first class
without study.
Some Of the knowledge required to
pass the first class examination ia to
be able to give a description OF ten
different trees. their height. form. the
shape Of the leaf. what the wood is
used for and SO on. Similarly with
birds. they must be able to tell Of ten
different species of birds their color.
where they live. what they eat. what
is their size. what is the color OF their
eggs. where they build their nests. and
a number of their other peculiarities.
They must learn first aid to the in.
jured. how to cook and how to tic
knots. But these are only a few OF
tho useful things that the boys are
required to know.
The boys will have another meet!
