The manufacture of asbestos pro-

already they enter Into the conslfne-
ton of almost every building now
erected. IN fact, fire companies in
sist upon their use wherever possible.
These products are used by all rail
roads, steel range manufacturers. and
all heating appliance manufacturers
in general. including covering of steam
pipes. Automobile gas tanks are lined
with asbestos, and the demand for
these is growing every day In addi-
tion to this, there Is steady increas-
ing demand for asbestos fire proof
roofing.
There are now only four other
plants IN the United States, manufae-
turing a general line of asbestos pro
ducts: and for these products there Is
practically an unlimited demand.
The Baltimore Roofing and Asbestos

facture the following asbestos pro-
ducts: F'ireproof Roofing, Mill Board
Pipe Coverings, Table Top Protectors,
Fireproof Papers and Building Felts,
Cementa. Gaskets, Packing, DoIIIes.

above the company will manufacture
complete line Of ready roofing. build
ing papers, asphalt and coal tar pro
ducts.
The plant is being erected at Finks-
burg, Nd, on the patapsco Falls,
seventeen miles from the city limits Of
Baltimore and nine miles from West

ern Maryland Railroad. The com
pany has purchased 10 3-4 acres OF
cleared and level land. to which the
plants Of the Oil City Asbestos Co. and
the Kayior Asbestos Novelty Co.. viii

mer companies will be expanded,
making It equal eventually to any of
IT'S kind IN the United States.

NAME YOUR FARM.

AN<A1vXG 4OON EkAEAvAs
A good many farm owners of
this state have taken advantage
of the new law which recently
passed the legislature and was
signed by the governor, providing
for the registration of the names
of farms in the state. The regis
ter of deeds Of each county is the
proper official before whom the
matter should be presented.
The idea of having certain
name for each farm seems to be
a good one as it will not only
prove a good means of advertis-
ing one certain farm, but will en-
gender a spirit of pride among
the members of the family en-
ployed thereon. The owner
should have printed stationery
with the name of the farm on it
and especially where farmer is
making a specially of some par
ticular line of business conducted,
it would be the means of advanc-
ing his cause and making his farm
popular, just by the name it has
been given. There are many ap.
propriate names they could be
given, and by all means selec,
yours and have it filed with the
register of deeds in your county.
Be progressive and alive to the
times.

Beach Office
Lively Campaign On Among
Democrats For Appointment of
Postmaster Iat Beach-Salary
$21OO.

There is lively campaign be-
ing waged among the Democrats
for the postmastership in Beach,
and as the time draws near the
candidates and their friends are
becoming more active in fixing
their fences.
At one time there were nearly
a dozen candidates in the field
but the number of known active
candidates at the present time are
four. They are w. c. Ripley, ].
]. BARLEY, H. NJ. Heath and John
M. Baer, all Democrats.
The present postmaster, w.
Brinton, being a Republican, is
not candidate for reappoint-
ment. His term expires July 20,
next, having taken charge of the
office four years ago on that date,
but as his commission was issued
on June 20, the appointment may
be made next month.
When the present postmaster
was appointed the Office was in
third class. with a salary of only
81, 10000 per year. but since that
time it has advanced to a second
class office with salary of ST..
10000.
All federal appointments are
made upon the recommendation
of the national committeeman,
with few exceptions. and in thi.
state that gentleman is John
Bruegger Of Williston, who is a

vidual. there being great many
changes to be made in this state,

State Banking Board Adopt.
Drastic Resolution Pertaining to
State Banks-A Good Move.

At a meeting of the state bank
ing board held at the capitol Mon
day afternoon. resolutions per-
tanning to the issuance of charters
for new banks in North Dakota
were adopted. The resolutions
provide that hereafter all applica-
tons for new bank charters must
be referred by the secretary of
state to the banking board and
the board will determine whether
there is sufficient population OF
business in the town to warrant a
bank being established there.
Should the board be in doubt,
the state examiner may be re-
quired to make a personal inves.
tieation. and the board may re.
quire certificate 40 to the 6nan.
cial standing and the character ol
the applicants before charters are
issued.
The resolution applies more
particularly to inland towns along
projected railroad lines. and is
along the line of Governor Han.
mas policy to give the commun.
tiles of the state stronger and
safer banks and to prevent. if pos.
sible, the establishment of bank.

Special Arrives
Big Crowd Turn Out to Welcome
Minneapolis Business Men
Taken for Short Trip Into
Country.

The special train carrying about
seventy-6ve Minneapolis business
men arrived in Beach on schedule
time yesterday and remained in
the city for over an hour. When.
the train pulled in there were
about fifteen automobiles await
ing which were used in taking the
members of the party for short
ride into the country, after which
the members of the party sought
out and interviewed the respective
business houses of the city.
The tour is under the auspices,
of the Minneapolis Civic & Com
merce Association. an organiza
ton of about ESQ business men,
of that city, representing almost
every line of business.
The purpose of the tour is to-
promote a better understanding.
between Minneapolis and the,
Northwest.
The train is one of the most
magnificent ever coupled togeth-.
er. 1t has twelve all-steel cars Of
the most modern construction.
fitted win all the latest travel con-.
veniences. Its length is one-sev-.
enth of a mile. 1t is electrically

telephone. which is connected
with the long distance exchange
at each night stop. In addition
thirty-hve porters. cooks and
waters aboard and the First Re-
giment Military band Of l8 pieces
which played several selections at
the bandstand.
A large crowd gathered at the
depot. including several hundred
school children who were taken
through the train. Without
question, Minneapolis received a,
very good impression of our little:
city.

of state to issue bank charters
when the law is complied with,
and heretofore it has not been
necessary to submit the applica-
ton to the board, but the idea
of the resolution is to prevent man
ipulators of the blue sky" to get
into a new town with little more
than certificates of bank stock and
some cheap furniture and hold
the location at a fabulous price
for the parties who reilly desire
to conduct a real banking institu-
ton.
1t is said that Attorney General
Miller looks with doubt upon the
resolution. as it reaches further
than the statute prescribes, but
Secretary of State Hall is heartily
in sympathy with the new resolu-
ton. and hereafter he will submit,
such applications for bank chart
ers to the board He thinks. oi
course. that sooner or later some.
one will instigate mandamus pro.
ceedings against him 70 make
him show cause why he does no,
issue charters as under th> form.
er system, but if the resolution
does not hold in the courts it will
be carried to the next legislative
session for the enactmentAof more
stringent banking laws.
