Opinion On Prairie Fire DAMAGE.

Opinion On Prairie Fire Damage.
Justice Bruce, in a lengthy opinion
holds that where the soil of land is
injured by a prairie fire, the measure
OF damage which can be collected by
a renter will be the difference be-
tween the value of the leasehold inter.
est before and after the fire.
The case wal n wherein NJ. T. Nc
Gilvra sued the 500 line for a prairie
fire which had been started by sparks
from the railroads engine. The plain
tiff had a term lease from a trustee
which provided that he must vacate
on sale of land. On these grounds,
the railroad company attempted to get
out of paying the damages done to the
farm whereby the fertility of the soil
was seriously interfered with.
State Funds Apportioned.
Warrants in favor of the various
school districts of Grand Forks coun-
ty have been made out by County Au-
ditor Hans Anderson for the equitable
distribution of the May apportionment
received from The state. The quarter

Forks county amounts to $57, 724. "a.
The per capita from interest and in

such cooperative effort, the hand
plant people might Offset this with a
two months earlier start than has
been customary, providing the mar
ket proves to be Just as associative
as some manufacturers and many
workers think 1t Is. Contrawise, H.
the machine people should show re-
sponsiveness to the spirit Of the hand
plant people, and the market con-
tinues, there certainly would be no
objection to begin the 1857 blast
at least one month in advance of the
usual starting time.
In this question is contained tho
interests Of three great economic
forces, each trying to assert itself
and to be benefited by an unprece-
dented, and maybe shortlived, condi-
ton in great industry. AS time
goes on, in the course Of the evolu-
ton that is preceding revolution
in the window glass business, these
interests will clash more often and
with greater force. With hand plant
manufacturer with the workers and
the worker swith the hand plant
manufacturer, the war Of these In
terests with each other will continue
until complete change in the man
ner and mode Of producing window
glass will have come to settle 1t all
between them.

Companyis to Drill with Regu.
lar Army Weapons and
Uniforms.

Members Of the Uniform Rank of
the knights Of the Maccabees in
clarksburg have lost no time in car
rying out the plan OF that branch Of
the order to help along the national
defense movement. Although orders
granting permission for the organi-
cation Of rife companies were is
sued only few days ago by the ad-
putant general Of the state a rife
company has already been organized
by the local uniform rank.
William Gill has been elected cap
tain Of tho company, Thomas William
Yeager first lieutenant and T. r.
Rollins second lieutenant. Regular
drills are to be held and It Is plan
ned to bring the organization up to
such a state of efficiency that It could
be called upon to render immediate
aid in case of war. Twenty-eight
have enlisted 10 far. The maximum
number permitted is fifty-eight.
Must Join Association.
The orders issued by the adjutant
general John G. Bond. give permits
sion for the organization Of rife
companies in lodges of the knights
OF Maccabees throughout the state.
and for parading by them for drill
under arms. provided that such COM
panies hold membership In the Ma
tfonal Rifle Association Of America.
Adjutant General Bond In trans
hitting copy Of the orders to Ma
jor General w. II. Sletzer, OF Cleve-
land, o.. commander Of the Uniform
Rank OF the Knights OF the Macca-
bees, stated in a letter that the state
military department wiuld be glad to
tender the use Of such rifle ranges as
are under control Of the West vir-
ginia National Guard, and that any
time the officers Of the national guard
would be glad to tender their SER
vices to such companies.
A Military Training.
Organization Of Maccabec rife
companies was authorized by con-
yention Of officers Of the uniform
rank in August, 1915, and provides
an opportunity for more complete
military training than was possible
with the sword. It Is largely intend
cd for those men who are not in a
position to Join the national guard
or the regular army, but who desire
a military training and the knowl-
edge of firing military rifle.
The same drill manual is used in
the Maccabee Rifles as is used In the
regular army and as each company
must conduct a rife practice upon .

II not absolutely certain of not con-
curing in the proposition. This ole.
ment is not the one, however around
which the determining factor re-
wolves, although 1t does play a great
part, but the main question with
many, IL not the larger portion, is
the question OF profits. Can we
show profit" Is the question the
manufacturer is asking constant
ly, and the answer to this question Is
contained in his response to the ex-
tension OF the present blast. He con-
siders first the amount OF expendi-
ture for the repairs necessary to be
made; second, the amount Of in
crease he will be obliged to pay the
workers; third, and more important
one, is the element that he cannot
calculate and accurately set to fig
ures, viz, the human element that
enters into the manufacture Of the
comm odity-window glass-which
he is expected to have created and
put upon the market for the Elusive
thing called profit"
What is meant by the latter, the
third, is whether or not enough
blowers. snappers, gatherers and fat
teners, too can. be maintained upon
the shops and the ovens. Labor is
now the supreme thing. 1t will be
more so during the time from the

termination of the extended fire"
Overhead expense will be greatly in
creased. with constantly lessening
output going between the cost Of
production and profit" until the
point where the ledger would show
the difference upon the loss side, and
where the manufacturer might alone
credit himself "so-and-so-much, &C.
count experience" to balance his ac-
counts with himself.
Some things have been said respec-
tive Of the possibilities OF the ma
chine plants benefiting the most

plant factories and hand plant work.
crs determine not to contiue opera
ton after May 81, but the soundness
of such argument is hollow. What
better theory than this could be adj
vanced to widen the gulf between the
two economic forces In the window
glass trade? If the hand plant peo-
Pile would want to do something by
which they could establish the con-
fidence of the machine plant people

thing to do is to close down at the

would not have been more surprised
than he was when he walked into the
assembly room OF the hotel and found
about nifty members OF the local Unit

the presentation speech in few we'll
chosen words. He expressed the deep
est regret at Mr.. Gazley's departure.

wished him the best OF success in the
future. Mr.. Boehm's voice was a
trife nervous. II was limited that he
was thinking OF the Black Hand let
ter he received Saturday. Anyway,
the speech was delivered In very
fine style and expressed the regret
whcih every member OF the council

peared to want to express gratitude
but somehow or other he just could

from the rear OF the hall.
The roar OF laughter which fol-
lowed this pun seemed to steady the
recipient of the gift and he replied to
the presentation speech In a very fine
manner. He paid a high tribute to
the travelling men and said that no
hotel could be success without the
cooperation OF the travellers. He
thanked the members of the local
council for their cooperation in the
twelve years he has been manager Of
the Waldo and assured them that he
would always keep the cane as n re-
membrance Of their friendship.
Mr.. Galley plans to leave the city
about May 1 for Pittsburg, where no
