RASMUSSEN BARN AT DAZEY
WAS DESTROYED By FIRE

Dazey Commercial: The new barn
on the George N. Rasmussen farm,
which was reconstructed last summer
after it had suffered from the effects
Of the severe storm that visited this
section of the country last spring, was
totally destroyed by fire Monday
forenoon.
The flames were first discovered
about 1890 Monday morning, Mr..
Rasmussen being the first to make
the discovery: He noticed smoke is
suing from the barn and when he
went to see what the cause of it was
he found the entire inside of the barn
in flames. The fire gained such head
way that it was impossible to save
the structure.
The fire was soon discovered by
people in town and the fire depart
ment got busy and took the chemicals
to the scene and they were utilized in
saving the nearby buildings.
One horse which was in the barn
was burned to death, it being impos~
sible to get the animal out. All other
stock was saved, most of it being out
of the barn at the time of the fire.
The building was partly covered by
insurance, but the loss will be a great
amount in addition to the insurance
received The barn was one of the
largest and best-constructed to be
found in this section of the country.

Price Fixing Assured,
Says the Equity Head

St. Paul, June Al. M. Anderson
of the Equity Cooperative exchange
who returned from Washington yes
terday, where he conferred with
President Wilson, Secretary Hoover
and Secretary Houston of the agricul'
ture department, said these men
agreed the farmers should be guaran
teed a certain price for their products,
Mr.. Anderson was one of a committee
of seven appointed under the direction
of the Equity exchange at recent
meeting of the farmers of the North
west at Fargo, N. D., to meet with
President Wilson, Mr.. Hoover and
Secretary Houston; the house food
committee, to discuss the food stu,
tee Of agriculture of the food situa'
ton, particularly as it affects the
Northwest.
"The government feels the necessi-
ty Of encouraging the production of
agricultural products and believes
this can best be done by guarantee,
ing prices to farmers" said Mr.. An
derson. "All officials express them,
selves as being opposed to specula-
tion and especially to the boarding of
food products by middlemen. We
were given to understand that when
any indication of boarding occurred,
the government would step in and
take, possession of the food material.
"We have reason to believe that
the grain exchanges will be watched
during the war, and that the discrim-
ination which they have practiced
against the farmers organizations
will not be tolerated."
While in Washington, Mr. Anderson
filed complaint with the federal trade
commission against the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce, asking relief
from the campaign it is alleged the
chamber of commerce is conducting
against the Equity exchange.

Editor Cornell Taking
Vacation In the West

Editor F. M. Cornell and wife have
left their home in Fulton, N Y, for
vacation in the west and are some
where in North Dakota or Minnesota,
according to an item in the Fulton Pa
triat, Mr.. Cornell's paper. 1t further
says:
"Mr. Cornell, the veteran editor of
the Patriot, has put in a good many
years at his desk without respite, so
that he feels that he has earned rest.
He was for 25 years engaged in news
paper work in Minnesota and North
Dakota before coming to Fulton in
1882 to take charge of The Patriot
which he purchased. He has two Sis
Montana and Mrs. William Strong of
North Dakota, who with himself are
the only surviving members of the
family"
A note to the Times-Record Tues
day morning from Mr.. Cornell, dated
at Colgate, N. D., states he is coming
here for visit with old-time friends
in Valley City. Mr.. Cornell was ed1-
tor and publisher of the Times-Record
for several years in the eighties and
rineties. Those were stirring times
in the history of this section, and the
pioneers of those days were sterling
lot. Now they are widely scattered,
but like Mr.. Cornell, occasionally one
comes back for visit and a glance
at the great metamorphosis that is
Transforming the prairies into gardens.
There are pletny of early settlers here
yet to welcome and entertain an old
timer, and we feel assured that the
Cornells will be welcomed so enthus-
iastically that they can be enlisted to
come again.

Young Man browns in
Sheyenne Near Nome

Nome Tribune: Last Saturday eve
ming when Alfred Nyberg attempted
to swim across the Sheyenne river he
was taken with cramps, and before
aid could be given his body had disap-
peared. It was not recovered until
Sunday morning about 9, although
searching parties worked all night.
One Of the neighbors had a fence
wire which they wished strung across
the river and Alfred volunteered to
take it across, as he was an exception
ally good swimmer. He was half way
across when he was seen to go down
and did not come up again. AS there
were none in the party who could
swim, no attempt was made at that
moment to go to the rescue, but short
ly after parties reached there and
commenced the search for the body,
It is thought that he was taken with
cramps and his clothing had become
attached to the wire in some manner
which held the body down.
Alfred was about 20 years of age
and had always lived with his par.
ents ON their farm near here, and he
leaves to mourn father, two sisters
and one brother, his mother having
passed away last February.
Funeral services were held from
the Preston church Tuesday by Rev.
Berger, interment being made in the
cemetery near the church.
