NORTH DAKOTA'S
FIRE LOSS MI
NO DAMAGE FROM FOURTH OF
JULY CELEBRATIONS SAYS THE
STATE FIRE MARSHAL, BUT
LIGHTNING Is MENACE TO THE
FARMERS.

North Dakota's Fourth Of July fire
State Fire Marshal Runge, who was j n
Fargo last night. He declared that so
far as he has been able to determine
not a dollars loss may be attributed
to the celebration.
The Fourth of July fires have been
reduced to a minimum in North Da-
kota,' declared Marshal Runge, and
this years results of the safe and sane
movement are particularly gratifying
in that respect"
The state fire marshal said that he
had made a special request to local
authorities throughout the state to re-
port Immediately any losses by fire re
sulting from celebrations on the Fourth
and that every report thus far receiv-
ed has indicated that there were nc
fires on that day. He also has been
making a personal survey Of the state
during the past few days.
In respect to lightning fires, however
the farmers of the state are not so for
tunate, declared the fire marshal.
I'm too many instances the farmers
are too careless about the protection
of their property from loss by light
ming" said Mr.. Runge. Electrical
storms have been frequent this sum
mer. and considerable damage can be
attributed to lightning. The farmers
of the state should anticipate these
storms and protect their buildings &C
cordingly. The fire loss in this re-
spect can still be reduced to consider
able extent"

CASSELTON HAD
GREAT FOURTH
LARGE CROWDS AND FINE PRO-
GRAM, COUPLED WITH PER-
Feet DAY, RESULTED IN A BIG
SUCCESS THE FOURTH AT CAS-
SELTON.

Although several days have elapsed
since the Fourth Of July, reports that
are continually arriving from Cassel-
ton have demonstrated that theirs was
no ordinary celebration.
Not only are the citizens proud of
what Casselton did that day, but Wis
itOrs are eVen more enthusiastic over
what was planned, and the statement
that the program would have done
credit to a city much larger than Cas-.
selton is heard on every hand.
The program opened at sunrise with
a salute of 100 guns and at $50 the
famous concert band from Hunter
played splendid music in the city park.
With parades, the carnival, races and
athletic contests, the day passed all
too soon until evening when at 8
o'clock was witnessed one of the most
magnificent display of fireworks ever
seen in this community. Not only
we're the illuminants unusual but they
were as beautiful as they were extra
ordinary. After the display instead Of
the old fashioned bowery dance that
has been severely criticised, there was
held a town party. And it was just
what the name implies, all of the
towns citizens co-operated in giving
the visitors a splendid time at their
party and until the hour of midnight
pleasure Teigned supreme.
The commercial club has through
it's secretary cordially thanked The
Forum for publishing the complete
program of the days events. The club
in it's message stated that it believed
that the publication of the program
resulted in the presence Of many Wis
itors who might not otherwise have
attended. The club is now preparing
for the annual corn show which will
be held in September.

Many other expressions similar to
this have come to the commissioners
from the market men which also bears
out their statements, that the produce
man in the city market can afford tc
sell for less and at the same time
make a greater profit than he could
under the old system.
The hours Of the market are from s
IN the morning until l in the after
noon. Citizens who come early will OF
course have a better opportunity to
pick the choice vegetables. Many own
ers Of autos are planning to be at the
market, taking their purchases home
directly in the car. Many others will
shop with the old fashioned market
basket which went out of style when
the high cost of living came in.

LABOR CLAUSE STAYS IN
Senate Passed Sundry Civil Bill with
Proviso Exempting Unions
and Farmers.

| Washington, July All efforts
in the Senate yesterday to alter or
eliminate the labor exemption clause
Of the sundry Civil bili section pro-
vidine funds for the enforcement of
the Antitrust law were voted down.
Two roll calls put the Senate on
record in favor of the exemption
clause, which caused the veto of the
last sundry Civil bill by President
Taft and which President Wilson, in
= memorandum made when he signed
the same measure, characterized as
"uniustifable in character and prin-
ciple."
The clause provides that no part of
the fund shall be spent in the prose-
cution "of any organization or indi-
vidual for entering into any combi-
nation or agreement having in view
the increasing of wages, shortening
of hours or bettering the conditions
of labor or for any act done in
furtherance thereof, not in itself un-
lawful" Cooperative farms Or
ganizations are also exempted.
Senator Sterling, of South Dakota,
proposed to strike out the exemption,
characterizing it as "vicious class leg
iSlation."
Senator Hughes. Of New Jersey, de-
Tended the provision, declaring that
the antitrust laws were directed
against great trusts and industrial
combinations, and that the fund in
question should not be diverted to
the prosecution of labor organiza-
tons.
The Sterling amndment was laid
on the table by vote of Al to q,
only one Democrat, Senator Pomer-
enc, voting for it. Republicans who
voted to sustain the exemption were
Senators Brady, Clapp, Cummins,
Jones, Kenyon and Norris. Senator
Poindexter also supported the en-
emption.
An amendment by Senator Suth-
erland, of Utah, to insert in the pro-
visions the words "by lawful means"
was voted down, 2S to- %. N
Later the bill Itself, carrying
's111, 100000, was passed without
further serious opposition.

Illinois Financiers and Henry Ford
Discuss Pending Legislation -
"MutualIy Instructive"

Washington, July 9.-FormuIat'oh
of the "peace protocol" between the
Wilson Administration and "blg bus
mess" went forward with giant
strides today. The White House was
the Mecca of men prominent in the
business world, all of whom were re-
ceived gladly by the President, VINO
characterized the conferences, as ne
did yesterdays as "mutually instruc-
tive" Today's visitors included.
Henry Ford, Detroit automobile
manufacturer and the first American
employer to indorse the sentiment
that a minimum days wage should
be S5.
r. S. Champion, of Chicago, Will
liam George of Aurora, and Andrew
Russell, of Jacksonville, representa-
tives of the Illinois State Bankers
Association were present
Through these visits and others to
be arranged the President is not
only getting the facts regarding ac-
tual business conditions throughout
the country: but also is getting the
inside views of business on his anti
trust program.
Business has accepted the trust
program. 1t is admittedly no longer
placing obstacles in its way. AS a
result the President is considering
certain changes in the pending bills,
which, while they will not change
them fundamentally, will work less
hardship on corporations in their
enforcement.
1t is already certain that the trade
commission to be established will be
clothed with great powers, far be-
yond those originally contemplated.
In many respects it will parallel the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
will regulate interstate trade as the
latter does the Interstate railroads.
:, As a result of the business confer
ences it can be stated on authority
that the President has agreed to meet
the moneyedn concerns of the country
more than half way. He has decided
that in his first two years Of endeav-
or he has put through a constructive
program that requires time to work
out. Consequently there will be no
future elaborate legi}ation program
arranged for subsequet Congresses.

TARIFF OFF, WOOL GOES UP.
Farmers Getting More Now Thar
Under Protection.

Winchester, Va, July 9.-Farmers
of the West Virginia border counties
are getting Z cents a pound for lambs
and 26 for wool.
Democrats are calling attention to
the, fact that when the Republicans
stumped that part of the State dur
ing the last Presidential campaign
they declared Wilson'S election would
cause the prices to drop to 3 cents
for lamb and II cents for wool.
Under the high protective tariff
system, they claim, lambs brought 4
cents and wool II cents a pound.
