remedied at once, end by congress, if
such horrible disasters as that which
has just, overwhelmed the Volturno

This is the statement of Andrew
Feruseth. Feruseth is the leading
authority on this, holding the presi-

Union of America and being Presi-
dent Wilson's special commissioner
to the London conference between
fourteen nations which will consider
the question of safety at sea in No

According to reports" declared
Feruseth, "136 to 145 persons lost
their lives in this disaster. The

rescue became possible.
"The Volturno, unlike the Titanic,
was fully provided with lifeboats, but
like the Titanic she was unprovided
with stuff cient number of skilled
men. 4 ~s. ...s

lowered and got away; four were
lowered and we're smashed alongside
The fact that two got away indicates
the lack of skill on the part of the

cars we're lost and one broke-both
of which incidents indicate a lack OF

"But one fact stands out clearly

mated.
Our motto is: In small things lib
erty, In large things, Unity, and in all

purpose for which we are organized

significance since the Fargo meeting:
Its object shall be to bring the wo-
men of the state into communication
for acquaintance, mutual helpfulness,
and the promotion of higher intellec-
tual, social and moral conditions"
Owing to the fact that there were
so many good things given at the fed
GRAFTON meeting, the Home Economics,
Literary and Library, and Arts and
Crafts departments were not given but
we hope to have these reports given
later.

FIRE WARNING.

I desire to caution the citizens of
Valley City on the dumping Of hot
ashes in their back yards IN the open
air. This is very dangerous, as dur.
ing the high winds prevailing at this
season, the sparks originating from
the ash heap will catch on some In
flamable material and start fire and
perhaps a very serious one. Do not
dump live ashes and if you do, put
them in metal receptacle with
cover so there will be no danger to you
or your neighbor's property.
Respectively,
T. S. HENRY,
Acting Chief of Fire Department

Seattle, Wash, Oct. Is. ~ Captain
John Backland, whaler, who left
Point Barrow, Alaska, September 1,
and arrived here today, reported that
in August three of Vilhjalmar Stefans-
sons exploring ships, the whalers
Karluk and Belvedere, and the steam
schooner Mary Sachs, struck lead
in the ice east of Point Barrow and
steamed away northeastward.
Stefensson's fourth vessel, the Alas
ka, found shelter in lagoon east
of Point Barrow, but on September
! it was frozen in the ice and had
drifted five miles from the lagoon
However, the ice pack was solid, and
if the vessel were crushed, its men
could easily have reached shore.

4 FASHIONS MART.

Miss Lagerstrom, perhaps more
than any other store in Valley City
has solved the problem Of putting
much stock into, q small floor space.
The dimensions Of the Fifth Avenue
Suit and Millinery Mart, hardly indi-
cate that there is room for large or
varied assortment Of coats and suits,
and it is not until one has investigated
that the possibilities are evident.
Miss Lagerstrom has probably the
most compact and dustproof wardrobe
| in North Dakota Not more than ten
or twelve feet in length, it will hold
comfortably, behind its glass doors, at
least three hundred suits, and an uni
que swinging device permits the en-
tire contents to be swung into plain
view when desired. The glass doors
are disappearing when opened. and
when closed will protect the suits and
coats for months at a time, perfectly;
although it must be admitted that few
are the garments which remain on the
shelves for many weeks. Miss Lager
strom, speaking Of the splendid sales
of her garments this fall, and espec-
tally Of the Style Craft garments, says
that the economy in space, her favor
able location, and the low rent and
other expenses have made prices pos
sible on her stocks which would have
been impossible elsewhere.
