A small blaze called the fire de-
partment to the south side yesterday
afternoon. The fire was IN the wood
shed in the rear of i0S oak street. The
loss was nominal. The blaze was
caused by the dumping of hot ashes
too close to the building. A quick run
by the fi~re-fighting apparatus and good
work by the men saved the blaze from
spreading. The woodshcd, however, is
a total loss.

:. VALLEY CITY
VIII Be Built Down 1ow0 ss
Ordered by Railroad
Commissioners

The railroad commission Is In re-
cept from the company Of the propos'
ed plans for the enlarged and improv.
ed depot at Valley City, which the
commission ordered the Northern Pa
| cifc to build in the same decision
| which compelled the running OF all
passenger trains, but Nos. ! and z,
through the city instead of over the
high line. In a few days the commits.
sion will pass upon the plans, the rail.
! way company being anxious to com
mence construction work at an early
date.
The plans contemplate a remodeling
of the present depot to make 1t mod
ern in every respect. The outside OF
the original building will be construct
ed Of stucco or plaster In attractive
color and a new roof put on. The
present ticket Office will be removed
and in it's place will be, on the south
side, a space for the sale Oftickets,
and a telegraph operator, while on the
north side of the center of the build
ing win be wOmen's and mems toilets
With modern equipment. the toilet
rooms being separated from the ticket
office by a passage way from the Wo-
mems waiting room on the west to
the mems waiting room on the east.
The woman's room is to be 33x26 feet
in size, and the mems room 35x26 feet,
both handsomely finished and equip
ped with modern seats and other ac-
cesories.
Twenty feet east of the depot prop
er will be built a pressed brick bag
gage and express station 60 feet long
and the same width and heighth as
the other building and corresponding
in form. The two buildings will be
connected by a covered and enclosed
corridor, making ready access to the
baggage room from the mems waiting
room. The baggage room will be 26x26
feet in size, with checking counter,
floor scale and other ap%putenances,
anu doors opening to the north and
south platforms.
The east 26x2G feet of this building
will be devoted to the express bust
ness, the room being fitted with Office
for attendant, store and other
necessities, and having north and
south doors to the platforms.
Both bulldogs will be supplied with
modern electric lights, the floors will
be of maple and interior finish very
attractive. The estimated cost of this
improvement is $4,000.

Wreck CAUSED BY
A MISTAKEN light

Fargo, N. D., June 4.;-Mistaking
the tail light of q locomotive for the
rear light Of another train immediate
ly in front, the engineer of a freight
on the Northern Pacific stopped his
train, and one following behind al
most crashed into it for 4 rear-end
collision. The engineers have pro-
tested against the red tail lights Of
autos, but the public did not regard
the matter seriously till this practical
illustration Of the possibility of dan
gerous wrecks. In many places
through the state the highways and
the railway tracks are parallel and at
night it is frequently impossible for
engineers to distinguish between tail
lights Of a moving auto in front and
the rear signal light Of a train ahead.

that soil and climate are adapted for
the growing of corn and alfalfa, and
the large importation Of dairy pro-
duets, cattle, poultry, eggs and hogs
makes the market a splendid one.

messages to the farmers, and with
Professor Holden at the head of the
work, we feel that the few thousand
dollars we shall put into the work will
be repaid by the increased prosperity
that is SUR to follow

farmers FIND
LABOR SCARCE

Joseph Mann, of Washburn, came
to Bismarck Wednesday night and
will have business before the board
of pardons today, as we'll as other
bushes in The city. -.
Mr.. Mann reports crop prospects as
fine in Mclean county and says the
great trouble is scarcity of labor and
that this trouble has caused a short
age of the sowing Of as large an acre
age to grain as otherwise would have
been done.
He has seeded only about 1000
acres this year and he would have
put in quite a little more if he could
have found the labor with which to
handle his land; but as it is quite a
little it will have to lie idle. Other
farmers are having the same trouble
and they do not know what they will
do when the harvest comes. ~.

Up With MEADOW Lark

rDenhoff, N. d., June 4.-The norm
ing vocal duel between the larks of
this vicinity and a huge turkey COB
bier owned by Edward Rutter, the
Northern Pacific section foreman,
to cause a factional row In
this town. The people insist unless
the gobbler Is muffled there will be
no sleep in the mornings. The COB.
bier roosts on a shed and with the
first signs of day the larks start to
sing. Mistaking their sibilant notes
for a challenge Of some kind, the
thanksgiving bird, with the first notes
of the larks, begins to emit yards and
yards Of lusty-lunged gobbles. He
possesses a voice that would drown
out an ordinary circus calliope and
there is no such thing as sleep in his
vicinity. The entire town is rapidly
beng converted into the early rising
habit and dire threats are being used
against the great American bird. The
owner promises to secure a Maxim
s%ilencer for his pet.
