NARROW ESCAPE OF
Big MILTON STORE
Rooms on Second Floor in Flames
When Discovered by Passerby
Who Saw Blaze.

The Milton store of Simon Schefter
had a narrow escape from fire Friday
morning during the early hours just as
the dancing of the Scandinavian celebra-
ton was breaking up. The alarm which
brought the crowd to the Schefter store
was occasioned by a blaze that had
made a good Roadway in the rooms oyer
the store, which owing to the crowded
condition of the town were being used
to help in taking care Of the crowd of
visitors. Andrew Overboe, one of the
occupants received some slight burns
and had to make his escape in scanty
attire. The fire was first seer from the
street by a man passing who noticed the
reflection of the blaze on the windows
across the street. With the aid of a
chemical enging the department confined
the fire to the room where it started,
only however for it to break out a
second time when water was turned on,
the result being that the stock of goods
in the store below was to some extent
damaged. Mr.. Schefter was in Milton
to attend the celebration and saw that
his stock was practically all saved from
being water soaked. The origin OF the
fire is unknown, but thought to be due
to some n smoking infhsdsand having
gone to sleep.

barley 6 cents higher and flax l6 cents
higher than on the same day a year ago
And the farmer who brought a load of
hogs to town received a dollar a hun
dred pounds more than he would have
received a year g on that date. in
fact everything the farmer produces is
worth more today than it was a year ago

President Wilson was in%augurated

Editor Courier. Democrat:
IT seems that the impression has got
abroad hat the Northwestern Fedora
ton of Farmers Clubs is hostile to local
business, such as banks and business
houses. But as far as we have been
able to find out, and we are in a situa.
ton to know, there is no bunch of mon
that are more loyal to home industry
and home business than the men who
constitute the Northwestern Federation
of Farmers Clubs, OF course they re-
cognize that a change is coming in the
business methods of the county. 1T has
to come and they are willing to work for
it. Such as lower rates of interest: the
cutting out of the mlddleman, a better
borrowing power for the farming COM
munitles, as compared to that of other
classes. But the working of injustice
to other classes is as far from them as
the antipodes are from each other.
AS to lower rates of interest here in
the Northwest that is only justice as
the same rate of interest has held for
the past fifteen or twenty years, while
the volume of business at the banks has
grown from hundreds into thousands
and the rates seemed to be adequate on
the smaller scale and we think thai If
the financial interests would accept it in
good grace it would be much the wiser
thing for them to do. And as for econ
omizlng in public business. Who would
blame the farmers for being interested?
They pay the biggest part of the taxes
and why should they not show an in
terest in their expenditure? Now about
law making. Roughly speaking there
are two classes in the financial world.
The lenders and the borrowers. The
latter being in a big majority, And it is
an undisputed fact that the lender has
been unduly active in the law making
business, and who will wonder if the
farmers will rise up in their might and
wipe Oft some of the special privileges of
the lenders, And as for the cutting out
of the unnecessary middleman, that is
where the consume will join hands with
the producer and drive out OF existence
those parasites that live on the
country's business without producing
anything themselves. And as for the
Farmers they stick together and will
correct those things, and they will do it.
