HURRIED TO The SCENE
And Was Accompanied BY q Largo
Number Of 8ightseers Be-
tween Trains

Last Saturday evening about
o'clock the fire bell startled the
people on the streets and in the
homes and business places, and
the whistle helped to large de-
gree to stir up the excitement.
The people went hurrying to the
fire hall to find out where the fire
was. The boys of the nozzle, hook
and ladder were Immediately in
formed that Paramount was burn
ing up and that they needed help
to save the town, such being the
reports up and down the streets.
The boys took he hooks and
ladders and boarded he Milwau-
kee train for the scene and a
large number Of sightseers went
with them. They all returned ear
ly Sunday morning on the Aber-
deem train on the Great Northern.
The pool room, picture house
and Vaala's general store were
destroyed by fire and the cause
of the fire to be reported here at
this office was on account of a
film exploding in the picture
house. 1t seems chat the young
man operating the machine, in
stead of closing the reel door and
trying to smother the blazed,
grabbing machine and all, and
threw it out the front window and
it exploding into great mass of
flames, swept the above mention
ed places to the ground before it
could be put out.
1t is reported that the Hankin-
son fire department was also call
ed to the scene with their equip
ment.

RELIEVES THE WORST
CASES OF CATARRH
Think "Hyomei the Most Wonderful
Treatment for Catarrh Ever
Discovered

Do not try to cure catarrh by using
sprays or lotions; it cannot be cured
in that manner The only way in
which this too common disease can
be fully relieved is through direct
application to the affected parts that
will kill the bacilli of catarrh and
prevent their growth.
Breathing the air of Hyomei is the
only known method of treatment that
can really accomplish this. 1t is the
simplest, most pleasant and probably
the most reliable treatment for ca
tarrh that has ever been discovered.
The complete Hyomei outfit is in
expensive and consists of an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
several weeks. This will effect in
slant relief in ordinary cases, but for
chronic and deep-seated cases of ca
tarrh, longer use may be necessary,
and then an extra bottle of Hyomei
can be obtained for a trifling sum. 1t
is not alone the best Git might be call
ed only method of treating catarrh,
but il is also the most economical.
Wortley & French have so much
confidence in the power of Hyomei
to relieve catarrh, that they will for
limited time, sell this medicine under
their personal guarantee to refund
the money if the purchaser can say
that il did not benefit.-adv.

Games of Chance Forbidden

The edict went forth Saturday that
there must be no more games of
chance in Portland and President Pill
kinton personally notified propriteors
of cigar stands and pool rooms, where
both dice and cards have been permit
ted in the past. None of these places
have allowed patrons to play for
money, but under the new orders
there must be no gambling, even for
cigars. As far as known Portland is
the only town in the county where
such drastic action has been taken.
The instinct to take a chance" is
strong with most people and cigar
stands have catered to it by permit
ting patrons to throw the dice and get
their smokes free or pay double price.
The cigar stand at Hotel Divine is
the most extensive in the place and
the order hits Mr.. Divine hard, as he
depends upon his cigar business to
offset losses in other departments of
the hotel. He has recently made ex-
-ensive Improvements and has moder-
1ized the hostelry to such an extent
hat it is one of the best i'm this part
If the state. Mr.. Divine declares he
will not conduct the business at loss

early spring. Certain destructive in
sects are held In check only by spray
ing during the dormant period of
trees when stronger washes may be
used than when the trees are in foil
age. Many insects of the orchard
spend the winter on the trees i'm the
egg, larval, or pupal stage, and their
destruction In the course of pruning
or other orchard work is practicable
and is of much Importance in keeping
them reduced.
Orchard scale insects as a class are
best treated after the foliage has
dropped from the trees. This work
may be done in the late fall, during
the winter when the temperature is
above freezing, or in the spring before
the buds swell to any extent. Spray
ing of apple, peach, pear, and other
trees for the San Jose scale with
strong lime-sulphur or other suitable
wash is now very generally practiced
by orchardists, and many persons
owning but small number of fruit
trees in the yard also regularly spray
the trees for the control of this SER
ious insect pest.

The Advantage of Keeping Fowls
Yarded

When fowls are yarded one knows
where they are. He knows that they
are not over in some neighbours yard
grain field or garden, and they are not
scratching around his own door all the
time waiting for meal. Another sat-
lsfactlon In having fowls yarded is
that there are no hidden nests out in
the weeds or in the grain fields out
back of the barn which you do not
find. When yarded the fowls must
lay where you can find the eggs. And
then another point in favor of yard
ing them is that one can quickly de-
tect any signs of disease among the
birds, while if going everywhere one
bird may be sick and not be found UNI
til the disease has become we'll devel-
oped or even not found at all until
the other fowls may have had a chance
to construct the same disease.
1t may truly be maintained that the
best method of keeping fowls depends
upon circumstances incident to each
farm or location. One must look to
the number of fowls to be kept. If
one has a large number of birds, for
instance say a thousand, he cannot
allow them freedom unless he has a
large place and divides them up into
several flocks and has the coops wide
ly separated so they will not mix up.
If one lives in town and has only
small town lot and keeps fowls he will
find it almost impossible to allow
them freedom and no doubt he would
not want to even if his neighbors did
not object. They would be too likely
to get away and never come back.
Some years ago the colony plan for
laying fowls on the farm was strong
ly advocated but it never became
popular with the owner of one or two
birds, principally on account
of the amount of labor necessary to
go about farm and attend to the in
dividual flocks. This was especially
during bad weather.
