Economy in Flreproof Qualities.

While freproof qualities and perma-
nence of materials are items appar.
emily increasing the cost Of the new
house, the home-builder will find IN
the end that economy lies In these
qualities; and applying the old adage
of the chain. his house will be as last
ing as it's weakest part
Hence the ratio between the life OF
different materials should be consid'
cred and permanence in the walls OF q
building should be duplicated in Its
foundations and roof. AS for instance:
a house of brick to be consistently
permanent, requires concrete or stone
foundation, and g slate roof.
The depreciation of a house Of this
type is said to be about l per cent a
year, reckoning its life to be loV
years.
But the permanency of materials is
not restricted to brick alone, and that
frame houses can be constructed to
last 100 years, though not immune OF
course from the accident of fire, is typ
flied in the numerous frame houses OF
historical interest standing in a state
of good preservation throughout the
country.
Among these are the old Gushing
house at Higham, Mass, built in the
early part of the eighteenth century;
the Wadsworth house in Cambridge,
built in 1928, and the Fairbanks ouse
in Dedham, probably the oldest nouse
in America, built about 1886.
White pine was used extensively IN
these houses, which fact is testimony
to the lasting qualities Of that wood.

z ROUTES ARE
LIKELY THROUGH
MINNESOTA NOW
Brief Expounding Western
Route Advantages Goes
to Clarkson
BOOSTERS TO JULY 10 MEET
Local Men Look For Selec-
tion of Pine Tree and
Park Region Routes

A 5OO-word brief, setting forth in
detail the many advantages Of the
proposed western route for the Jeffer-
son highway through Minnesota and
signed by members of the Park Region
and Red River Valley association for
the development of the highway, who
met at the Comstock hotel in Moor
head last night, went forth today to J.
d. Clarkson, general engineer Of the
Jefferson Highway association.
This, with the briefs prepared by the
central and eastern routes, will be
investigated at joint meeting of the
Jefferson and state highway associa-
tions at st. Paul, July 10.
That there will be two Jefferson
routes through Minnesota was the
general opinion Of those attending the
meeting here last night, those present
at the meeting being John K. West of
Detroit, Sen. J. H. Baldwin of Frazee,
]. P. Hardy Of Fargo, Michael WOLF of
Perham, G.. A. Kortsch of Alexandria
and Sen. Charles S. Marden and Leslie
Welter Of Moorhead.
1t is very likely that these will be
the Pine Tree route and the Park
Region and Red River Valley route.
According to all the data that has been
gathered recently these are the two
most practical routes and both would
be worthy of the final selection for the
route. However, both have separate
advantages that the other one has not
and with the selection of both it is be-
lieved that a fine combination would
result
The entire situation hinges on the
meeting at st. Paul, July 10, at which
time final decision will be made. An
effort will be made to have representa-
tives of every town on the western
route attend the meeting so that as
much interest as possible will be
aroused. 1t Is probable that Leslie
Welter and A. J. Wright will represent
Moorhead.
The brief which was prepared last
night was not made public today as it
was thought best to have the matter
presented personally to the two asso-
Citations by Mr.. Clarkson.

County Commissioners Tour Red Trail
Road West of Here to Arrange

AS a result Of the past hard rain
the Sheyenne river did considerable
damage to the Red Trail road between
here and Mapleton and today the
county commissioners, who opened a
session here yesterday morning, spent
this forenoon looking over that section
of the road for the purpose of finding
out what is necessary for its repair.
The heavy rains have also done con-
siderable damage to roads and bridges
in other parts of the county and at
the session of the commissioners yes
terday afternoon a contract for sew
eral bridges that will be erected this
summer by the county was let to Jar

Today the canvassing board held a

changes to be made but there was
none that would affect the results of

This afternoon the board of county

Michigan City, N. D., to see a

be a little Short" but this did not
trouble Mr.. Bailey, as he soon an
nounced that he could get along

ters relative to the will were fixed
up. But for some reason Mr..
Garrity felt that he needed the
money more than his client did.
Later in the day it developed
that Mr.. Bailey had called on
three other local attorneys, each
time telling the will story feld
then ending the interview with the
Michigan City" story. There
seemed to be little loose money,
however, among the local attor-
news.
Mr.. Bailey even gave prominent
ST. Paul attorneys as references.
Mr.. Garrity at once acted upon one

reply from we'll known st. Paul

say that they knew the gentleman
in question to the extent ef SO,

Billie Burke backed off the boards in
this respect.

office. 60h Broadway, this afternoon
a man was waiting to talk concession
for the great state fair, July II to %,
inclusive. A few seconds later a Far
go man called and discussed Duroc
hogs. Several seconds after that the
telephone bell rang and an anxious
mother wanted to know what the Sec
retary knew about babies.
Although the secretary of the North
Dakota state fair is a single man. he
propounded the latter subject with the
knowledge of a mother Of sixteen. Be-
fore the receiver was hung up the
mother evidently believed Nash was
a past master at the game.

UP AT RATE OF
ONE FOOT DAY

With the Red river rising at the rate
of one foot per day during the past
week, the water level at noon today
reached the 23.4 foot mark on the gov
ernment gauge at the south bridge.
This makes a total rise of 11.2 feet
since Tuesday, June 27.
Several families on the low sections
of both cities have been forced to
move their household goods out of the
ground floors, and many more will be
affected if the present condition con-
tinues.

against repeated attacks. Odds
against the defenders were heavy, but
they stuck to their guns in the hope
that reinforcements soon would ar
rive.
At nightfal, after their leader had
been killed and the greater part of the
command killed or wounded, the sur
vivors retired to Jiminez, carrying
their wounded with them. Three times
during the day the Villistas dashed
through a storm of shot to the edge
of the Carranza forces trenches, but
were unable to take them.
ReinforcementS, which had been
ordered to form a junction with Gen.
eral Ramos troops at Corral, were de-
layed by a wreck near Ortiz and the
proposed general offensive against the
Villistas did not materialize.
Following the Corral clash, the
garrison at Santa Rosalia was rushed
south to hold Jiminez against any at
tack. In the meantime 1000 troops, in
Guiding the famous brigade of
Domingo Arreta, were sent south to
attack the forces who cut off General
Ramos.

One Martin v. Bailey, claiming
Troy, N. Y, as his home, and
claiming to have a $4,000 interest
in a large Ransslar county, New
York, estate, is looking for an at
torney IN Moorhead to handle
probate proceedings for him. AL
ready he has interviewed four or
five Moorhead lawyers with little
or no success.
Several days ago Mr.. Bailey en-
tered the Office of Attorney James
A. Garrity. He is a tall, slender
man, about so years old, with a
defective right eye. He said he
had just come from Duluth or
Thief River Falls or some other
city in the northern part of the
state.
Have you ever probated any
wills, Mr.. Garrity?" said the
stranger.
Yes" replied the attorney.
ANY large ones?"
Mr.. Garrity's reply was "yes,"
inferring that he had had a great
deal to do with the probating Of
big wills.
Then Mr., Bailey drew from his
pocket a large bunch of papers,
from which he extracted a five
page will Handing it to the at
torney, he gave orders to have it
probated at once, as he was slight
" in need of the 100000 at this
time. He also assured Mr.. Gar
rity that he would be literally
paid for his trouble.
What is your line of business,
Mr.. BaiIey?" asked Attorney Car
rity.
