Elder to Ask
Reason.
NOT AT MATLEss FIRE
Commissioner Gray Says Old Mandate
Has Never Been Revoked
Should Have Fire
Lines.

Mayor >. F. Elder received letter
from Manager Towne of the Indus
trial Association, asking why there
was no police protection at the Mat
less fire yesterday afternoon. Mr.
& Towne in his letter told the mayor
that so far as he could find out there
were no policemen at the fire yester-
day. Persons who were on the scene
said they saw no policemen there at
any time.
Thomas P. Gray, commissioner OF
public safety, stated this morning that
there was an old order in the depart
ment that policemen should go to ev.
cry fire, and be there during the time
The order has never been revoked and
is still in force. 1t is probable that
the commissioner will call the atten
tion Of the chief to tho fact that the
order has never been revoked.
In a fire such as the blaze yesterday
the officers are needed to keep people
hack from the hose lines and ladders
and also to protect the goods which
neighbors were bringing out of the
house. There were several hundred
dollars worth of furniture, silver and
glass ware out on the lawns Of the
Matless home at one time yesterday
afternoon, and Ii would have been an
easy matter for any one to make way
with some of the smaller, more valu
able articles.
The police are supposed to be on
hand to lelp The firemen in case oil
need, and to prevent anything occur
ing which happened yesterday. One
of the firemen was struck in the eye
with an icy SNOWFALL and nearly
thrown off the roof Such happenings
as these would not be tolerated # the
police were attending to their duties
and obeying the order to so to fires
At one time an officer was suppos
ed to ride one of the reels. Today
however, Commissioner Gray said tina,

to the fire, and be there to aid in just
such emergencies and to keep the
people back from srowding onto the
firemen. and hampering them with
their work.
In the larger citss, of course, fire
lines are stretched land the police
keep the crowds back in an easy man

towns, the police so to the fire and

MINES IN MEXICO
 WITHSTAND TROUBLE

Technical phases Of progress in Mexico during the past year have been obscured by the great general interest in the political situation and outlook-matters who are discussed editorially and need no fuTthe. com ment here. It is somewhat surprising that, despite the persistence and dn- iversality of political disturbance, the total production Of Mexico has not shown great decrease. Some or the smelling plants, such as those of the American Smelling and Refining Co. at Monterey and Agus Calentes, were not troubled. being in districts not affected by the outbreaks, while the others were able to keep in operation with only a few temporary interrup tions Several of the large plants are increasing their output, the Greene Cananes, for example, having a larger monthly production this yea than ever before. and the decrease due to the general cessation Of worN by the smaller companies is thus counterbalanced by the increase Of the larger ones that continue 10 ope.- ate. The unsettled conditions oher favorable opportunities for purchase
 by the larger companies, and the Penoles Mining Co. for example, pur- chased the Paloma mines for 1.900,- 900 and is negotiating for the Ca brilla mines in Mapimi. The GreeLe Cananea has bought properties, and the Naica silyer-lead mines in Chr huahua were sold tO French investors for several million pesos The Unitei States Smelling. Refining and Mining Co. has been examining properties with a view to purchase. and the Mezquital del Gro mines, in Zacatecas the casados in Jalisco. and other pro perties are under option to large foT-
 eign companies. Shipments of oil from Mexico continue large. and the mineral production as a whole is
 highly satisfactory, considering the
 present. csssdvantase under which
 the industry labors.

Today is the Independence day Of
Norway. Ninety-nine years ago. on
the 18th Of May. 1914, the political
union between Norway and Denmark,
which had lasted since 1897, was dis
solved. The circumstance that there
as no air to the throne Of Norway
brought about her union with Den
mark. in 1897. A compact was enter
ed into by which each nation was to
have an equal share in the govern
ment. But the union proved to be OF
advantage only to Denmark. The
throne as sea of government no long
err remained in Norway. Her young
men had to go to foreign lands, chief
ly Denmark and Germany, to secure
a university education, and the conse-
quence was that Norway lost her in.
t%ellectual independence. Danish cul-
ture, the Danish language, and Danish
forms gradually displaced the Ian
guage and customs of Norway. Her
spiritual and intellectual life was
completely dominated and determined
by Denmark. Norwegian writer's and

The premium list, of course, is not

prizes offered will be well worth COM

IS every reason to believe that the

behind It's predecessors on this par

ahead. Farmers, then, should bear
these facts in mind as they watch
their growing crops and vegetable
tracts this summer. Exceptionally
fine fields should be noted for future
reference and nature assisted so far
ar possible in producing a perfect
sample. A peck Of the right kind of
wheat, oats, barley or other staple
grain may likely bring the exhibitor

cultural implement of value much

a little extra trouble in observation

benefit conferred upon the communi-

The people of North Dakota are so

to be condemned because they were

cause OF the poor individual speci.
mems IN some cases the results will
not be as anticipated and there will
be many disappointments. Professor
Richards of the animal husbandry de.
