c. W. HANSEN

Death came suddenly to c. w. Han
sen. The poison that had gotten into
his system, with the typhoid fever that
he had, did its work too quickly. Chris
was taken to his bed only the 9th Of
April and died May 5th at 2:3O in the
afternoon.
c. w. Hansen was a native of Dem
mark, being born in Falster. July 13,
1880. When about sixteen he came to
this country, first stopping with his
brother, L. NJ. jacobson, at Colfax in
Richland county. He came to Oakes in
1906 and since then has been follow
ing his trade as painter. Chris was
good-hearted soul and made friends
very rapidly. He became a member
of the Oakes Volunteer Fire Depart
ment and for number of years was
Tits secretary.
Three years ago he was married to
Miss Queenie NJ. Bradt at Little Falls,
Minn., and they have two children, a
boy of two years and Z girl of six and
a half months. Her foster-mother-
lher aunt-Mrs. Carl Bradt of Staples,
Minn., is with the family. There are
also here her uncle. Sherman Crosland
Of Minneapolis, and l.. NJ. jacobson,
brother Of deceased, from Abercrom-
bic.
The funeral was held Monday after
noon from the NJ. E. church, Rev. r. S.
Hollett Of Fargo, assisted by Revs.
Opie and Lindland of this city, in
charge of the services. The funeral
was largely attended. The fircmen
turned out in body as last mark
of respect to their departed brother.
The flower offerings were profuse and
beautiful. Remains were laid away in
Oakes cemetery.
Deceased carried an insurance pol
icy of $1,000 in the Guarantee Fund
and leaves his family in nice circum-
stances.

BURDICK IS OPPOSED
TO STATE OWNERSHIP

Williston, N. d., May Gu. L. Bur-
dick, who is asking the Republican
nomination for governor, today made
public a statement in which he sets
forth his views of certain issues that
have been raised in the North dakota
campaign by the Nonpartisan League
himself on record as being
opposed to the principle of state own
ership of such industries as packing
plants, elevators, flour mills, ETC.,
pointing to the fact that such indus
tries would become political, and
would doubtless be operated without
regard to practical economy and eff
cheney.
Mr.. Burdick's statement follows:
"The Nonpartisan League has de-
clared in its platform that it is in IA
vor Of state terminal elevators, pack
ing plants, -four mills, etc. From this
rather ambiguous statement it is diff
ificult to determine just what position
the league has taken in reference to
the public utilities question.
Generally speaking, l am opposed
to the state Of North Dakota going in
to speculative business enterprises.
Should this state build packing plants
and flour mills with funds raised from
the taxpayers, what assurance would
the taxpayers have that Through q
political machine) in the building and
operating Of such enterprises, there
would be efficiency, business judgment
and economy exercised! Would the
more natural presumption be that
politics, rather than competency,
would control, not only in the build
ing, but in the operation of such en-
terprises? Furthermore, should one
administration honestly and faithfully
administer the affairs of such con-
Germs, what assurance would there be
that the next change in administration
would continue the work in the same
manner Is the former administration
1t is more natural to assume that \
change in administration, with the
bitterness Of campaign. criticism, hon
est and dishonest, would be reflected
in every department, even to the pack
ing plants and -four mills Do the
people of North Dakota want to spend
their neney to build up more political
maeAins?

PROBABLY the worst hre IN the MIS-
tory Of Dickey county swept Ellen
dale Tuesday night. resulting in the
destruction of four complete blocks
of the city. and causing loss Of
what is roughly estimated as $780,
100000.
The fire originated in the old liv-
cry barn located just north Of the
Blumer grocery store at about 1880
O'Clock Tuesday night. The high
wind from the northwest quickly
carried the flames to the Blumer
store and in very few minutes the
entire block was sea of flames.
Famed by the wind, the fire rapidly
spread to the buildings on the south
side Of Main street, sweeping this
block clean with the exception of the
First National Bank building. the
Windsor hotel, and the residence
known as the Applequist place.
Continuing on in s0utheasterly
direction, the buildings in the next
block to the east were soon ablaze.
and this entire block was soon in
ruins. the only structures left being
the Davis and Lacey residences in
the southeast corner of the block.
The block still further south was the
next in the line Of the 1re, and not
q single building in this block was
saved. At this point the fire was
checked. although one or two small
buildings further to the southeast
part of town were burned, aud only
the frantic efforts Of the residents
in this section Of town kept more resi-
dences from destruction.
The firemen were unable to make
any fight at all. due to the high wind
although better water supply
might have saved few Of the build
ings. Many we're homeless Tuesday
night as result Of the blaze, some
escaping only with what clothing
they were able to carry with them
rs they fed for their lives. The fin
est spirit of cooperation was notice.
