Gently the newspapers of all shade!
OF opinion have been pointing on
that, for one thing, the present state
OF European politics and the pros
pect of the immediate future in the
Balkans make it desirable that the
highest Office in the state should be
held by a French statesman who is
able to speak and act with an author
ity derived from personal eminence
and from political experience.
1t is believed that the choice OF
the general assembly will fall upon
one of four candidates: NJ. Raymond
Poincare, the prime minister and min
lister for foreign affairs; NJ. Alexandra
Ribot, former prime minister; NJ. Paul
Deschanel, president of the chamber
of deputies, and NJ. Antonin Dubost,
president Of the senate. Other
names mentioned include those OF NJ.
Delcasse. minister of marine; NJ.
PANS, minister of agriculture, and NJ.
Clemenceau, former prime minister.
NJ. Poincare. NJ. Ribot and VI. Des.
chanel are well known to their fell
low citizens and enjoy high respect.
1t is noted that all three are men,
.bers of the Academy Of France. and
as, to all appearances, they arc the
three leading candidates, it is antici-
pated, with some satisfaction, that
the next president of the republic will
like Theirs and %Bonaparte, be a men,
her O fthe lnstitute--a pocition
which signifies to France and to the
whole world that he is above the lev.
cl of any mere political clique.
NJ. Poincare has constantly been in
the public eye since he formed his
remarkable ministry a year ago this
month. He has been in politics since
1887, when he entered the chamber of
deputies. AT the age of 80 he was
minister of public instrlicsiO and sub
sequently he served twice as minister
Of finance. His present tenure of Of
fee has been signalized by a success.
sion of important French initiatives
in connection with the Balkan crisis,
while in home affairs he has identi-
fed himself iwth electoral reform and
proportional representation, of which
he has always been a Jealous advo-
cate.
NJ. Ribot is perhaps the most digni.
fled figure in French political life, and
is the survivor of the great parlia-
mentary period Of the foundation OF
the Third Republic. AS foreign min
lister in the early 80 S he perhaps did
more than anyone else to bring about
the alliance between France and Rus
STA. The wife of NJ. Ribot is an AM
erican woman, formerly Miss Mary
Durch Of Chicago.
NJ, Deschas 81, though fifty-fve, is
one Of the Youngest of all the candi-
dates. He lnherits his strong repub-
licanism, for he was born in Brussels,
where his father was in exile for de-
nouncing Napoleon ILL.,, because he
overturned the republic. NJ. Descha-
eel is a learned author, a graceful
writer and a speaker of almost CLASH
cal finish. AS president of the cham
Der of deputies, he has long been one
Of the foremost figures in French pub
Tic life.

ously slack and discouraging, took on

heavily in Minnesota, the Dakotas and

The dry goods, hardware, clothing,

wholesalers have experienced a
steady growth in demand. There has
been some complaint from buyers re-
garding high prices, but, the jobbers
said, there is little hope of revision
until the political situation becomes
more settled. Thousands Of cars Of

HAVE A SCHOOL
WALSH COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

INSTITUTION THERE.

GRAFTON, N. D., Jan. 1.-THE
board OF county commissioners, at
their regular meeting here, took up
the matter of locating the county az.
ricultural and training school, which
was authorized by a vote of the cleo
tors of the county at the election in
November.
Offers of site and bonus were re-
ceived from Park River and Grafton.
The Park River people offered a cash
bonus of $1,000 and the choice of any
one OF ten sites for the building.
Grafton offered $1,000 Of a cash bonus
and a site not to exceed $1,000 in val
ue. After consideration, the school
was located at Park River.
After the location of the school was
determined the county board appoint
ed the following trustees:
John A. Harris, for term expiring
June 80, 1918.
John A. Dunn, for term expiring
June 80, 1918.

THREW GASOLINE ON
. fire BADLY BURNED
ROY COOK OF DIES Laos IS IN A
CRITICAL CONDITION AND
MAY NOT RECOVER.

MINOT, N. D., ain. Troy Cook,
aged 10, employed in j.. c. Cogdills
feed mill at Des Laos, was horribly
burned about the face and hands and
upper cant of his body, as the result
Of a gasoline explosion. .
1t appears that there is a stove in
the engine room Of the feed mill in
which a fire is sometimes kept in or
der to keep the engine from freezing
Jap. Cook was anxious to hurry the
blaze along a bit and poured the con-
tents OF a a Of gasoline on the
blaze, causing a terrific explosion al
most instantly.
His left hand vas terribly torn, it
being necessary to amputate several
Of the fingers almost Immediately. A
glove on the right hand protected
that somewhat, although it, too, was
badly burned. His hair was almost
completely burned off and his face
was scorched SO that it is almost as
black as a negro's. Other portions OF
the upper part Of his body we're also
badly burned.
Medical aid vas summoned at once
and the man given the best possible
attention. His condition is regarded
as very serious, however, and doubts
are entertained for his recovery.
Just how he came to use the gaso'
line is more or less of a mystery. II
is presumed that there was possibly
a couple Of gallons in the can, but
whether he knew that it was gasoline
or thought it was kerosene could not
be learned.
The explosion set the feed mill on
fire, but the building was saved by
the work Of a bucket brigade before
amy great damage had been done

PARIS, Jan. l7.-Early this morn
ing the senators, deputies and an ar
my Of press representatives were OIL
for Versailles, where the members or
the two classes first named, meeting
in Joint session as the national assem-
bly,, are expected before the day is
over, to select the successor OF Al.
Fallieres as president of France. The
new president, whoever he may be,
will assume Office n mOnth hence.
In France the constitution, which
in this respect represents the recoll
from the Napoleonic system Of pleb-
~iscites, does not admit citizens to any
direct vote in the election of the chief
executive Of the nation. The Wesi'
dent is elected by the senate and the
chamber OF deputies united in con
vention at Versailles. .
1t is a noticeable fact, however,
that the general public has manifest
ed far more interest in the present
election than ever before since the
setting up of the Third Republic.
Public sentiment with. regard to the
presidency seems to be undergoing a
radical chaAge. Heretofore the pres.
ident has been looked upon as little
more than a tigurehead. Now the peo'
pie seem to want something more
than a fignrehead at the Elysee. Re.

MONROE, = Mich, Jan. 1S.-One
hundred years ago today this place,
then called ~Frenchtown, was the
scene of a bloody conflict between the
Americans Oh one side and a force of
British ard Indians ON the other. The
town was in possession of the British
and was captured by the Americans
under Gen. Winchester. Four days
later, however, the place was retaken
by the British under Gen. Proctor, and
Gen. Winchester and his force were
captured. The second conflict was, fol-
Owed by an Indian slaughter that is
known in history as the River Rasin
massacre.

Good Crop Harvest Respons'
ible for Bright Business
Outlook

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. IT,
More Minneapolis goods will be seen
on the shelves and in the show cases
and windows OF the Northwest's
stores this year. than ever before.
From every section of the territory
supplied by this center the statesmen
have been coming to- jobbing head
quarters in Minneapolis for the past
two or three weeks.
Reports of a business outlook which
bears out the predictions made last
fall have been given to salesmanagers
and large orders are being recorded
daily. The new year opened under
circumstances which were brighter,
according to commercial reports, in
the Northwest, than in most either
sections. This was accounted for by
huge crops harvested last fall.
Monetary Outlook Brighter.
The monetary outlook is brighter
than two months ago. Collections
we're slow in November and Deem.
Der and joJbers became slightly n
ious. As the holidays approached the
situation cleared somewhat and the
strain, incidental to the first of the
year, passed almost without notice.
Banks are in stronger condition and
money lis moving sufficiently free to
insure the extension of merchandise
credit to all established business
sources. . ~ ,#-@s
The pinnacle Of the money demand,
always heavy during the crop moving
season. has been successfully passed.
Bankers expect money to return free
ly within short time and little or
no stringency lis anticipated. The APP
proach of. a tariff revision is said to
have been felt i'm THE Northwest, but
the general feeling is optimistic and
The political situation has not had as
marked an effect here as in the Ease.
If there is any slowing down of trade
it will be due to- the changing admin
istration, but the effect would be
short-ived.
Eastern commercial Correspond
ents have declared that the country,
generally speaking, is bare Of mer.
ehandise. This means prosperous
times for Minneapolis wholesaling
and manufacturing concerns. There
is scarcely a community in tine trade
territory tributary to- Minneapolis
which has not felt the effects Of q
money-producing crop. Merchandise
supplies which had run short are he
ing checked over and filled up to sat.

chants predict will be record break
