BUILDINGS
BURN DOWN

Mr.. Lamb, a we'll known farmer
residing northwest Of this city, lost
his barn and granary by fire Fri
day afternoon. The fire started il
the hay loft of the barn, and bero"e
tt could be extinguished the barn
with it's contents were burned and the
fire spread to the granary which was
partially filled with wheat and this
burned, together with considerable Of
the grain. How the fire started is n
mystery, but as there had beer
threshers sleeping in the barn the
probabilities are that it was caused
from smoking in the building. The
loss is a heavy one on Mr.. Lamb, as
he had just finished threshing and
while much of the grain was not
burned it was damaged from smoke
and water and will bring a very poor
price.

WARNING AGAINST
ASPHYXIATION

Grand Forks, Sept. 12.-During the
filling of the silo, there is danger Of
death from asphyxiation by carbon
dioxide, says the Department Of chem
istry of the Demonstration Farm at
Grand Forks. Large amounts of the
gas are produced in the silo: from the
green CROP and may collect in dan
gerous quantities if conditions become
favorable. To avoid accumulatIons of
the gas, doors should be left open as
long as possible. Men should not
stay in the silo when the blower is not
running, and especially they should
not lie on fresh silage.. IF the work
has been interrupted for any length
of time, men should not again enter
the silo until the. blower has been
running for a few minutes. This re-
moves the dangerous gases. In the
case of a pit silo, men should never
remain in the silo when the blower is
not running, and the blower should al
ways be started before anyone. enters
the slo.

Ends Present Fight.
This decision on the part of the
supreme court appears to end for thu
time being the capital fight which has
been waged by Bismarck and New
Rockford during the last year or more

marck is that the only method for the
New Rockford people to pursue should

to endeavor to get the necessary "le :
islative machinery" for the change
passed at the coming session of the
state legislature.
1t is possible that a petition for q
rehearing of the case may be made
by the attorneys for New Rockford
in the litigation.
