1916 WAS BIG BUILDING YEAR

The year 1916 in this city was a
very notable one for unusual activity
in building and Improvement lines.
In fact the past year has been the
biggest improvement year for about
five seasons. In this respect Warren
is IN the lead Of other Red River Val
ley cities. 1t is estimated that no
less than $178,0000s were spent for
new buildings and Improvements
during the year: .--'..5 a-7-sss4s.s
The new 100000 high school
building was the most important and
costly building erected during, the
year. Very close to this in import
ance and cost comes the new Hotel
Warren which will be completed at
a cost of approximately $4,000.
Then there is Fred Swanson's new
store building on Main street, which
was erected at a cost Of about
Isl, 500. No less than 18 new resi-
dences were erected during the wear
lat an average cost Of about. $4,000.
The new addition to the light plant
was eonnaeted during 1916 at cost
of about $4,000. Other improve
ments iii the residence sections were
made tOSthe extent OF $l5,OOO.. linz
provements such as sidewalks, street
crossings, sewer and water exten-
sions were made amounting to
/ $4,000. This totals $178,5OO and
places this city in the lead in city
improvements in the northern part
of, the state.
While the year 1916 has been q
big building year, the year 1917
bids well to equal it. Several bust
ness houses have let contracts fol
new structures and laroe number
of residences will be erected during
the wear.

Of the Carley committee is afsdepart-

various boards and commissions. An
other bill reorganizes the state board

and fourth divorces all grain and

bills create q board of investment, a

81 The annual meeting of the Mar

at the court house yesterday and
was we'll attended by farmers from
all parts of the county. For several
days before the annual meeting the
officers and directors held sessions
here to audit the books and ac-

out the required reports. At the

The company has had thirteen
losses during the past year, but the
total aggregate amount is only
| $1801.46. The company has never
found it necessary to levy an assess
lfment on it's members, the small
IpfeHlum OF only 10 cents per num-
dred being more than enough to pay
4 all losses. At the close of business
Dec. 81, 1916 the company had an
actual cash balance of $15,683.49 on
hand with no liabilities. It is possiz
BILE that next year the premium will
be cut down to 10 cents per hundred.
At present there are 1929 polices in
force, their total amount being
/ $3O12,529.
+ The affairs of the company are
honestly, economically and efficiently
conducted. The men who have the
management in hand are well known
pioneer farmers and they deserve
credit for the ability, success and

the business of the company.

DISTRICT DRY LAW
DECISION TO-DAY

Washington. Oct. as.--The fight
upon the constifutionalty Of the
Sheppard law. which would make the
District of Columbia dry November
1. began today. Six saloon-keepers
complained in the District supreme
court that they had secured federal
liquor licenses for 1918 and the Shep-
pard law would abrogate these per-
mits.
Corporation Counsel Syms argued
that the federal license could not su-
persede a local statute. He also said
the saloon keepers had failed to ap-
ply in time for the federal licenses.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs held
that the statute WAS unconstitutional
because it was a revenue measure. vet
II originated In the senate instead OF
the house.
Another argument made was that
the law violated the constitutional pro-
vision regarding freedom, of religion.
The law allows alcohol to be used in
sacramental wines. but the manufac-
turer cannot sell direct to the clergy
man, while he may sell to druggists.
hospitals and scientific laboratories.
Justice Gould will render his decis-
ion tomorrow.

MEATLESS TUESDAY
GETS FAVORABLE START
Dealers In Fowls, Fish and Oysters
Have Rush OF Trade as Result
OF War Innovation.

"Meatless Tuesday" was a success
in Richmond yesterday. when all
meats were omitted from the menus
OF hotels. restaurants, boarding
houses, and many private homes. In
place OF the roasts, steaks and chops
there were fowl. roasted and fried,
and oyvters and Ash served In vari-
Gus tempting styles. In proportion to
the decrease in butchers sales for the
day was the great increase in the
trade Of the fowl and Ash and oyster
dealers.
While :he day was advertised ahead
OF time, there were many diners who
were taken by surprise. and a num-
Der who had whetted their tastes for
Juicy steak or roast yesterday were
very much disappointed. although
their disappointment was short-lived
when sea food or fowl was substi-
tuted. The vegetarian at his table In
the corner smiled to himself when his
theory was almost forced upon many
who had formerly scoffed at his taste.
The majority OF diners enjoyed the
absence of meat from the menu and
were pleased with the idea.
