ANNIVERSARY OF .
 ORIO FLOOD

Dayton, March 26l-EXactly one year. ago yesterday mountainous torrents ripped open the banks of the Ohio cities and it's tributaries, tearing through Dayton and other Ohio cities and villages, left death and inestimable damage in their path.

ROCK SLIDE
 NEAR HE SHOPS

On the steep hillsides to the east of the Skagway valley, be tween Moore's wharf and the rail road shops, at short intervals, there may be seen evidences of earth and rock slides that have taken place in times gone by.
 Yesterday about 1 o'clock as Lee Gault, ticket agent of the w. P. & Y. R. company, who lives at the east end of 22d street, just west of the railroad track, was getting ready to leave home for the office he heard tremendous noise and looking up at the side of the mountain saw an avalanche of earth and stone coming down head ed directly for his dwelling.
 Before he had time to take any action looking toward the safety of his family, small boulders, some of them six inches in diameter, had leaped the railroad track and were pounding against the fence surrounding the yard of the house. Fortunately the railroad track prov cd itself a safety barrier, for by the time the debris had crossed it the force of the descent had been so much lessened that but little damage was afterward possible.
 That there was great force behind the slide was attested by the fact that a great stump that was in it's road was smashed to splinters and almost demolished while a two foot section was brok- en out of one of the rails on the w. P. 6 Y. R. tracks.

ARE IN DANGER
 OF STARVATION

St. Petersburg, March26-The re- cent sufferings of the political ex- lilies at Narym have been made the subject of formal protest to the Minister of the Interior by the La bor group in the Duma. A letter describing conditions there says the exiles are in danger of starva- tion, their appeals to the govern- or for relief remaining unheeded.
 Among the complaints, the com missary of police is charged with having dispersed a group of exiles who were boarding together, de- claring that such a gathering con stituted an unlawful assembly. An exile named Mme. Solovyoff was recently incarcerated in a punish ment eell'' for a week, together with her child, for the offense of teaching the little one to read.

Western senators aud representatives, who conferred with Lane also approve the general leasing plan, which is adopted as the administration sys- tenn of opening and developing Un- cIe Sam's resources which have been locked up tight for years.
 The bill proposes that all leaa- ing fees shall be paid 10 the In- terior department, half to be us- ed in reclamation projects and the other half to be given to the states in which the leased land is situ- ated for public schools, public works or other state improvements.

THEY HAGGLE
 OVER RED TAPE

Brussels, March 26-The Bel gian customs officers on the French frontier hvae been warned to use more common sense and less red tape in the future. The rebuke was the result of a fire in the village of Les Ballons, Fearing that the whole place would be swept, the mayor telephoned an urgent appeal for assistance to the fire depart ment of the French town of Wattre- les, just across the border. The Frenchmen responded promptly with their motor engine, but on reach ing the frontier they were stopped by a customs officer. In vain they protested that they were going to fire, but, after consulting with his colleagues, the officer flatly refused permission to them to cross with the engine. as they were not provided with, the required mo tor tourists" license.
 While they were arguing, the fire, which was only 100 yards from the frontier was spreading, but finally the officers comDromis- ed by allowing them to string a line of hose across the border, the engine remaining on French soil. After an hours. hard work they extinguished the flames, receiy- ed the thanks of the mayor, and re- turned to France.

HAD WASHINGTON
EXERCISE TODAY
PATRIOTIC EXERCISES CELEBRAT-
ING GEORGE WESTINGHOUSE
BIRTHDAY THIS MORNING HELD
AT FARGO HIGH SCHOOL BIZ
4 STUDENT BODY,

The high school held exercises this
morning in honor of Washington's
birthday which comes Sunday. The
whole school collected in the upper as
sembly for the exercises which were
very good. The following program was
given:
Song by the assembly; Eulogy on
Washington by Milo Van Arnam; read
ing, Alice's Flag; by Lillian Chandler;
Grafton given at the 60th anniversary
Of the Battle of Bunker Hill, by Donald
out a Country, by Lewis Croal; Girls
Glee club sang a song which was ap-
preciated very. much.
The next and best number on the
program was an address of the occasion
delivered by Rev. A. e. Peterson. Mr..
Peterson's subject was Peace and Pa
trlotism. The speaker said he hoped
the students would agree with him and
suggestions. He said that when pa
triotism was mentioned it was always
connected with war, and that in the fu-
ture he hoped it would be connected
with peace. He said that there was
only one people who had at all times
worked for peace and they were the
Quakers, but now there were. over 100
societies organized for the purpose OF
promoting peace.
He mentioned that one thing against
the war was that all the best men were
sent to the front thereby robbing a ma
ton Of those that were able to carry on
her affairs. and that if any nation per-
sisted in carrying on war it. was bound
to fall. Mr.. Peterson thar gave a few
statistics n showed the great cost
Of preparing for war and what could be
done with enemy, and in closing hs
asked the students to think over what
he had said and that he hoped that they
would benefit by his little talk. The
talk by Mr.. Peterson took well with
he student body and they all; hope
that they will be able to hear Mr.. Pet
erson some time in the future.

A Warning.

New York World: When a man so
eminent as the venerable Edgar Mont
Somery Cullen, until recently chief
peols, asserts that personal liberty In
this country is In danger, there is at
least an invitation to reflection.
personal liberty is not .menaced in
this country by conquerors or kings.
It is assailed by misguided sections Of
he people having faith in the omni-
potence of law. by timid legislators and
6y courts that yield to clamor or in
huence.
In West Virginia, martial. law In
time Of peace; in the state Of Wash
ington, martial law proclaimed by a
girl s~tenographer; in various states,
laws intended to deprive the press Of
liberty hitherto recognized almost uni
versaIiy; In Minnesota, an attempt to
say who shall engage in the business
OF barbering; in Wisconsin. a law of
.eugenics' calculated to restrict the
right or honorable marriage; in dozens
or states, licenses, fees and regula-
tions to make difficult the pursuit of
certain occupations; in many places,
notS pu~blic-health laws that ars
against certain people in behalf Of
others more POWERFUL; in states and
nation, taxes, like that on eIomargar-
Inc, designed to help competitors; ev-
upon transients advertising bankrupt
sales; monopolistic laws for physicians
ana nurses; excessive punishments; the
denials of the malls; the long ballot
and the short ballot, intended to defeat

TOBACCO, n what not-these, all typi-
cal or many others, are only a few Of
the invasions of personal liberty which
are In all places notorious.

more than a4third Of a century In his
honorable retirement he warns his fell
low citizens that, their personal liber-
ties are In danger. and, distinguished

Big piles Of manure teaching away
their fertility back of the stable.
Patches Of weeds and foul fence cor

A cowless farm, where milk, butter
and their assistance in cooking are abb
sent.
An empty pigsty with waste enough
on the place to fatten at least one pig.
L A gardenless farm with it's inhab-
.itants going without the healthful diet
Of fresh vegetables SO easily produced
on any farm. ..-.- -..
A farm whose silences in early morn
are unbroken by hearty chanticleer
calls.
Blue vapor issuing from the barns.
yards or fields as a result Of mems
uncurbed tempers while dealing with
livestock.
A farmhouse unadorned with the
beauties and fragrance of some fow-
ers at the door.

Antiseptic Surgery.

One Of the worlds greatest benefac-
tors was Lord Joseph Lister, the emf
nent English surgeon who was the
first to apply the antiseptic. system of
surgery, of which he was the discov-
erer and pioneer. Lord Lister died two
years ago, Feb. II, 1912. The first great
advance in modern surgery was made
during the second quarter of the nine
teenth century, when Goodwin, Mitch
ell, Jackson, Wood. Bache and DR..
Morton discovered and applied anaes-
thesia, which did away with the pain
and horrors Of the operating room.
Since then vast improvements have
been made in anaesthesia. 1t remain
ed for Lord Lister to introduce anti
septic surgery, or treatment to kill
germs in surgical operations and acct
dental wounds, by which the lives of
thousands have been saved. In addi-
ton. to this epochal discovery, he made
important observations on the early
stages Of Inflammation, the coagula-
ton Of the blood, n other matters.
Lord Lister was surgeon ~extraordi-
nary to Queen Victoria and later to
King Edward.
