about thirty feet and killing
him instantly. The train was
stopped in two car lengths after
striking Mr.. Youngkin. and
the crew returned to help in

Minneapolis, April 25.-A

been under way for some time
in this city, and which is now
SO far advanced that it's promot-
ers say it is assured, provides for
the construction of a $500, 600
hotel and opera house combin-

building have been optioned
for some time, and the cash
necessary to construct h e
building has been largely pro-
vided for, according to those
who are promoting the scheme
except that it is desired to in
terest some Minot capital in
order to have as much local
interest in the project as pos
sible.
Some of those behind the
sydnicate are well known men
of Minneapolis, and they have
put large sums of their own
capital into the scheme to
make it sure, according to
their statements. The future
of Minot and it's location both

township will take the lead of
all the other townships in
rural districts around the corn
city by being the first to erect
a real community building.
This is one of the most forward
moves yet made by any of the
com munities in this district.
Raub, Cremersville and Amund-
will have each built town hall
and farm club building. Emmett
and Blackwater have planned
to built town hall. But the
real community building had
never been forwarded until
taken up by the progressive
people of Plat township.
The plans are that full
basement will BIZ built and the
superstructure of ample size to
accommodate all the people of
the community for entertain
ments, socials, church services
and moving picture shows as
well as dancing. This much
will be finished up immediate
ly after seeding, so it is expect
ed that on the Fourth of July a
celebration can be held to make
money with which to complete
the building.
The completed building will
have a basement kitchen and
dining room with a heating
and electric lighting plant,
while the upper floor will be a
large auditorium for entertain
ments and will be equipped
with moving picture outfit so
that the farmer and his family
may take in the movies close at
home. Sheds will be erected
for teams and everything done
to make this an ideal communi-

MANY DRY LAKES

Dry FOR Years.

Devils Lake, April 2l. After
constantly receding for over 20
years, the level Of Devils Lake,
the greatest body Of water In
North Dakota. is expected to
come back this spring in a
manner that will overcome the
deficiency of a term of years.
The vast hills Of snow, espe-
cially along the Canadian
border. have been pouring wa
ter southwark for more than a
week, with the result that
creeks have developed into
rivers. After passing from ex-
istence during the past i've
years. Lake Ibsen, south Of
Leeds; Rock lake, near Hans
boro; Lake Irwin, northwest Of
Churchs Ferry, Dry Lake,
northwest Of Devils Lake, and
scores of smaller basins, have
been filled to overflowing this
spring.
Last year these four lake
bottom produced irnnaense
crops, there being an aQgreg-
ate acreage Of about 10, 600
acres. Ibsen has been dry Ave
years, during which time ripar-
ian rights have been exercised,
which was also done in the
cases Of Irwin and Drylakes.
The filling Of Lake Irwin, a
twin body with Lake Alice re-
habilitates the greatest dnck
and goose ground in the north
west. a pass on which millions
of birds have been killed.
The overflow of Lake Irwin

William Emde was born in
Rena, Waldeck, Germany, in
1887. He came to America in
1857 and settled in Hamilton,
Canada. Later he moved to
Moskoko. Ontario, where he
was united in marriage to Miss
Leatitia Hewitt. The family
came to the United States in
1883 and settled on a homestead
southeast of Bottineau. The
later years of his life were
spent in the city of Bottineau.
In 1850 he gave his life to
Jesus Christ and affiliated
with the Methodist church.
He served on the official board
of this church from the time of
it's construction. Brother Emde
has been a very devoted fol-
lower of the Master, doing all
in his power to propagate the
gospel of Christ. He was a
faithful Der or the churCh,
a good neighbor and devoted
father and husband. He leaves
to mourn his loss his aged wife,
and nine children, thirty eight
grand children and fourteen
great grand children. There
are seven daughters, Mrs.

be turned down for a second
term. The only conceivable
reason why Mr.. Steen might
be Objectionable to boss Town
ley, is that both as a farmer
and as an officer, Mr.. Steen
has been efficient and very
successful.
An analysis Of the actual
facts makes it very apparent
why Townlev deemed it i'm
operative that the whole pro-
position be shrouded by the
mantle of secrecy. He wisely
concluded that secrecy, not
publicity, was the only founda-
ltion upon which this PROPOSE
tion could stand.
If Mr.. White really believes
THAT the object of a reform
movement can best be attained
through the selection of candi-
dates by a boss controlled con-
vention it is rather strange
that he, as an able champion Of
socialism, should decree that
in his other socialist party the
lselection Of candidates should
be secured by the referendum

the very woof and warp of our
social and industrial fabric. 1t


was in recognition Of this fact
that the United States supreme
court recently said that the
business Of fire insurance is 30
far affected with public in
terest as to justify Legislative
regulation of it's rates. IF re-
elected shall renew the eff
forts which were inaugurated
in the last Legislature to secure
supervision Of rates.
Life insurance is written
either on what is known as
the legal reserve basis or
the assessment plan.'' So far
as assessment life insurance is
concered, / believe it's writing
should be confined exclusively
to fraternai benefit societies,
and on adequate rates. There
would not seem to be any legi-
innate reason or demand for
assessment life associations,
and this state might well follow
the example of other states in
expressly excluding them from
it's borders. Certainly the pre-
sent lack of definition in that
particular should be corrected.
Demands upon the time and
attention Of the commissioner
of insurance in examining dis
puted claims for indemnity,
under policies of accident and
health insurance, has grown
alarming. This is due to the
vague, indefinite and mislead-
ing character Of these con-
tracts. Standard forms should
be prescribed by Legislative en-
actment, as in the case of fire
insurance and life insurance.
The state department of in
surance is not merely or prim-
arily a recording office. The
duties devolving upon the com
missioner of insurance are
highly technical, and call for
an intimate knowledge of the
insurance laws and at least a
reasonable degree of admin
strative ability. These qualifi-
cations can be acquired, if at
all, only by experience. In this
connection attention is called
to the fact that in addition to
the steadily increasing amount
of work devolving upon this
office as a result of the rapid
growth Of the insurance bust
ness, the responsibility and
labors of the commissioners OF
insurance have been immea-
surably enlarged from the fact
that he has been charged with
supervision of the state hail
insurance fund, the fire mar
shal law and the state bonding
fund. It is true, that the law
creating the state bonding fund
is not operative at present, but
it is likely to become effective
within a short time.
The state of North Dakota
owes me nothing. On the con
trary I am deeply indebted to
the people of this state; and in
that spirit in the desire to
give better service to our peo-
pie than it has been possible
for me to give in the past my
candidacy is submitted.
