TEN DAYs-HARTndA11N HAS
HARD LUx.>

Albert Campbell, a half breed Cree
Indian, was the winner of the 500 mile
dog race from Winnipeg to St. Paul,
one of the attractions of the st. Paul
Outdoor carnival. The race began
from Winnipeg on Wednesday, January
"a, at noon, and Campbell arrived in
St. Paul at 12:45 .. M, last Saturday.
Considerable interest in the race was
shown and in the towns along the
route of the race the people turned out
enmasse to cheer the drivers.
Fred Hartmann, the American,
while not a winner, was the princira!
figure in the race and seemed to be the
favorite with everyone. He suffered
many hardships on the journey, sus-
tanning an injured knee, and two of
his dogs being incapaciated consid-
cradle portion of the distance through
this state. When he reached his desti-
nation he collapsed.
A benefit was given for all the
drivers, eight in number, at the St..
Foul auditorium, at ~hich fully 5000
pecn'e wer.' present. Albert Camp
bell, winner Of the race. was repeat
edly called upon for 4 speech, but he
refused. Hartmann, when called upon,
said. in voice little more than
whisper: 81 thank you very much.
There isn't anything to say I may
have furnished the leg work, but the
enthusiasm and help of the people
along the road kept me going. I want
you to know I appreciate this.''
Albert Campbell and Fred Hartmann
have been engaged to appear at St.
Paul theatre with their dogs all this
week.

TRAVELLING "OoCTOR'
FIRE MARSHAL SAYS BE PREPAR-
ED FOE WINTER FIRES

Many of the smaller towns and vii
lagos of Minnesota are in need of a
reorganization Of their tire-fghting sys-
tens.
"Recent reports received by this de-
partment,'' says Robert W. Hargadine,
state fire marshal, "show that it is
practically impossible for some of the
fire departments in those towns to pre-
vent serious fire loss especially in the
winter time.
"Although the communities are i'm
proving in this respect there is still
much to; be done to make the service
adequate. The water supply should
be inspected daily if possible, and all
hydrants kept clear Of snow and ice.
"Anoihcr subject that should be
considered by those in charge of NUM-
cipal affairs should be the exercising
Of the departments more frequently.
Just because there happens to be no
serious fire in village or town is no
reason to suppose that the department
will not be called ut at any time;
therefore, we would suggest that fire
chiefs and others in charge OF the Hire
departments in all Of the smaller towns
try to keep their men and apparatus
up to the highest point of efficiency
during these winter months and there
by not only reducing the possibility of
serious fire loss but actually be of
service when the sudden call comes for
unusual effort to save ife.'

TO USE "AUSTEAIIA11
BALLOT SYSTEM

Rovalton Banner ny: At tho last
meeting Of the Royalton village coun-
Gil a resolution was passed providing
for the nomination of candidates for
the various village officers at the COM
ing annual election in accordance with
the provisions OF the "Australian bal
lot system.''
We think that this plan is great
improvement over the old caucus sys-
tenn as it gives an opportunity for a
free and untrammelled expression by
the voters of their preference in the
election of village officers such as did
not obtain in the old way.
