Fairbanks Camp Arctic Brother hood at a recent meeting, passed a resolution ot thanks to the grand arctic chief and the grand arctic re- corder for their actions in refusing to grant the establishment of camps without the precincts Of the sacred Hfty-four twenty. Another very commendabIe thing which they did was to resolve to lay the sQuabole on the table and not embroil the Brotherhood in baby sQuabbles, which must ultimately be its ruin ir persisted iu.
 Perhaps there was mistake made In attempting Co establish the order outside Of the original juris- dicuon. but a greater mistake will be made if the matter continues to b threshed out and fought over, long after the causes which led to the break have been settled. The Fairbanks camp has shown wis dom ln tabling the whole thing, af- ter they got what was wanted.
 Al the next meeting Of the grand camp it win only be necessary to pass a law forbidding that locals shall ever be established below any-four twenty, and that future grand camps be held In Alaska. In the meantime keep the secrets Of the lodge secret. That is the way he appears Co one who IS not a member ot the organization.
 The following report Of the Fair banks Camp session is taken from the Daily Times:
 Al the meeting ot the Fairbanks camp or the Arctic Brotherhood, which was held last evening at EacIe hall. resolutions were adopt ed commenting the action Of the grand camp officials in refusing to g-ant charters to camps for Seat tie and Vancouver. mere N"S N''' siderable discussion in the matter, with some favoring secession, but after the teIeErams from the grand Arctic chief and grand Arctic re- rorder. stating that no charters would be granted, were read, there was a disposition manifested to let the matter ride until the next ses- sion of the grand camp. It was the opinion Of the members, however that the next grand camp session should be secured for Alaska, as well as an the following ones, as the territory north of the original jurisdiction is the logical place for grand camp sessions.

tries to take rest, but the rider forces

The rider then springs from his horse:

BY the ears, secures it with the rope.
Most men require the assistance OF a
mounted companion, who ties the vol
while the other holds its ears with
both hands, and in this way the cap

FOR BODY

HOUSE At MINoT BURNS AND
FlREMEN LOOK FOR LONE
WMAN.
WMAN.

MINOT, N. D., Jan. AFTER work.
ing for two hours Friday night. in an
effort to exhume the body OF Mrs.
Gertrude Hoff, who vas supposed to
have been burned to death when her
home i'm the woods near Eastwood
park was consumed by fire Friday
night, the members or the fire depart
found that Mrs. HNoff was safe
and well at the home of a nephew.
The house was practically Destroy
ed by the fire. The loss is estimated
at $1,000, of which $500 is covered by
insurance.
The blaze was discovered oon af-
ter s O'Clock. by William Wendt, who
lat once turned i'm an alarm to the fire
department. The fire had already
made considerable Roadway when it
WAS discovered.
The nremen at once hastened to
the scene. On their arrival, however,
they found that owing to the position
OF the house, which was situated in u
patch of woods, 1t was necessary to
stretch the hose for two blocks to the
nearest street lit Eastwood park.
This took considerable tine and by
the time the hose line had been laid,
it was found to be. impossible to
check the destruction.
No one had seen Mrs. Hoff since 5
o'clock in the afternoon and it was
believed at the time that she had
been in the house while the fire was
burning.
AS soon as the firemen could get
near the burning building. therefore,
the work. of clearing away the embers
was begun in a desperate effort to
recover the body before it should be
totally consumed.
The work was extremely difficult
and the cold wind which had sprung
up chilled the iiremen to the rmarrOw.
They stuck gamely to their task, how
ever. until just as they had given up
hope word was received that Mrs.
HOff had not been in the house at all,
but was safe at the home of M Of
her friends.
AS a result of their labors in the
cold Friday night, several members
OF the fire department have severe
coughs and sore threats this morn
ing.
Although nothing Is known with
certainty as to the cause of the blaze,
it is believed that it originated from
an overheated stove.
Mrs. HOff, who is a widow, lived
alone except for her two children.
The two children are at present away
on a visit.
