The rain, which recently vi
sited this section of the state,
will go a long way towards in
suring a good crop tlIis fall.
A good crop means much to-
all. When crops are poor there
is no money in the country and
business in all branches is at n
stand still. Now. that a crop
is assured, the farmers will
feel better able to get some of
the necessities that they have
been going without for 80 long.
They will be able to fix up their
old fences. and fence off new
fields, they will build new hog
houses, granaries, houses and
barns, they will build that ma
chinery shed that has been
needed 80 long, they will see
their way clear to build that
summer kitchen for the wife.
The PIPER Howe LUMBER
COMPANY has anticipated all of
these improvements taking
place and have just received
several cars of bright new lurn-
ber and have more on the way.
They carry in stock the FA-
NOUS Iowa GATES. Every
farmer should stop at their yard
on Main street, Bottineau, ".
d.. and inspect the gate which
they have hung outside of their
yard. This gate is fully guar
anteed for three years and the
Piper Howe Lumber company
will let anyone take gate
home and use it for SIXTY
DAYS and if it is not entirely
satisfactory in every way, it
can be returned at no expense
to the buyer.
The PIPER-HowE LUMBER
COMPANY have the stock on
hand to fill all their wants,
their prices are right and any
one will make a mistake who
does not call on them when in
need of any building material
before buying elsewhere.

$4,000 LOSS

EsiIre Sleek Rulssd By Flames Esvly
Friday Mo1nlu9- -lnsuEaoee Less
At FIVE o'clock this morning
the people of Omemee were
aroused by the fire bell, it be-
ing discovered that the big
department store of Max Eben-
hahn was on fire.
A large crowd gathered for
such an early hour and the viii
lage fire apparatus was gotten
out. Everything possible was
done to extinguish the flames,
but the fire had made too much
headway and the best that
could be done was to hold it in
check to some extent, so that
some of the goods might be
saved. While some were work
with the fire apparatus a large
ing force was at work carrying
out merchandise. O. S. Liens
stock of jewelry was all saved
from the fire, though somewhat
damaged by breakage and by
the rain. Neil McDougall's
meat market in the rear of the
store suffered a total loss.
Quite lot of Ebenhahn's stock
was saved, especially in the
clothing, shoe and haberdash-
cry lines, but nothing was saw
ed in the grocery department.
In this department the loss was
very heavy, as Mr.. Ebenhahn
had just received a carload of
sugar and a carload of flour.
Men, women and children help
ed in the attempt to save the
stock of goods and the work
was kept up till the roof in the
rear part of the building fell in,
when the 'smOke became too
dense. When the plate glass
front broke the flames were at
their worst and it looked ae
though the business portion of
the town was doomed. :. The
brick walle0fstheh burned build
ing however, served as a pro-
lection and the Ere did not
spread.
The origin of the FIRE is a
mystery. It was discovered in
one of the rooms used by the
meat market by Angus Giles
pie at about FIVE o'clock.
Max Ebenhahn's stock OF
goods was approximately valu-
ed at 81. GOO. He carried in.
surance to the amount of $14,
500. His store was one that
the people of Omenee have
taken pardonable pride in and
az a mercantile emporium
would have done credit to
towns many times the size ol
Omemee. Our citizens deeply
sympathize with Mr.. Ebenhahn
in the loss that he has sustain.

Neil McDougall. owner of the
meat market, places his loss al
$500, without a cent of insur.
ance. O. S. Lien suffered nc
loss from FIRE, but his jewelry
stock was damaged somewhat
in the hurried effort to save it.
Attorney Goldschmidt, who
now resides at Grano, had his
law library stored in the build
ing and suffered a total loss.
Mrs. Chaussee's millinery stock
was damaged considerably.
The insurance adjusters
are expected here tomorrow
