BRING HIGH PRICES

The following refers to Miss Anna
Petrie, formerly of Linton, and are
cattle sold by her as feeders some
time ago:
Forty head of Shorthorn steers,
weighing 1892 pounds, sold on the
Chicago market July 9th at $14 pc,
hundred, an average of 1896. 90 per
head.
These cattle were bred by Miss
Petrie, of Linton, North Dakota, and
fed and marketed by T. 1. Gunder.
son, Centerville, South Dakota. They
were part of shipment of 18 loads
263 head, all Shorthorns, which sold
for $55, 5,O25. 80, an average of slightly
under $21O per head for the entire
number.
This is pronounced by market auth
critics as q market performance with
out parallels worlds record regard
less Of breed. 1t is striking exam
pie of the actual value of improved
blood in the making of beef and dem.
onstrates the Shorthorn advantage in
the matter Of extra scale and evident
quality.
Miss Petrie's breeding herd has
been graded up through the use of reg
istered sires and an inspection of the
steers revealed large percentage Of
roans, some Of which ran very light
in shade, indicating that she has rec.
ognized the value Of white and roam
bulls in the production of prime beef
This performance attracts attention
also to the Dakotas as breeding and
finishing ground for cattle of the mar
kea topping class.

A BAD FIRE s.

To the Ground. Biggest
Fire la History of
the Town.

when the fire broke out, and to that
fortunate circumstance can be attrib-
uted the saving of the town.
The Cash Store was heavily insured
and Alex Bosch had a reasonable
insurance. DR.. Smith had some in
surance on the building, but none on
contents. That he had any at all was
only good fortune. His policy recent
ly expired and he told he agent to can
eel It. The policy was written just
the same, and the premium charged
to his account, thus keeping protection
on the building.
For the present DR.. Smith will oc

What will be done about rebuilding
has not been fully determined by the
various concerns that were victims of
the fire.
The history of the Kremer building
is unusual. The construction of the
place at all was only made possible
after a legal battle. 1t also had q
great deal to do with the reorganiza
tion Is city. When Kremer cor
templated building he decided to erect
wooden building. The old village
ordinances had provision against
construction of wooden buildings in
the fire limits. Kremer tested the
ordinance in district court and it was
discovered that most of the vi,is &c
ordinances were worthless because Of
technical omissions in perfectins the
same. Kremer secured permission to
build and new ordinances under .,.e

The frat big FIRE In the history of
this town occurred early Tuesday
morning when the general merchan-
disc business of Kremer Bros. and
Lipp, known as the Cash Store; the
Alex Bosch bowlinesalley and pool
hall and the photo gallery and dental
Office of DR.. Smith were completely
burned to the ground.
The fire broke out in the interior of
the Cash Store some time before 3 a {.
m. when there was no one around to
give the alarm. How it started is a
mystery. When discovered the fire
had spread throughout the entire in
terror Of the store. Miss Winnie
was first to give the alarm by rum
nng across the street to the fire hall
and ringing the fire bell. The flames
spread rapidly to the adjoining build
ings and by the time crowd had ar
rived the three business places were
in flames. The roof of the opera
house then caught fire and the blaze
was eating through at the caves be-
for chemical engine could be brought
into play. In the meantime, wet rags
were procured and q successful fight
made to beat out the blazes started
on the roofs Of buildings across the
street. At that, the plate glass win
dows were cracked in Hogue's drug
store and Leuwer's Bakery. The
cement block building of Lynn & Lynn
successfully withstood the heat and
flames, the roof being guarded with
wet rags and hand extinguishers. --

Washington, Aug 15.--An unof1icia.
outline Of Pope Benedict's peace pro
posals received here discloses that tbs
pontiff includes some Of the principles
Of world peace for which Presiden
Wilson has declared.
Among the pope's proposals are re
duction OF ornaments. freedom Of tn
seas and that there shall be no re
taliatory struggle after the war fo
world commercial supremacy. Thes,
are regarded as the foundation stone
of the pope's plan.
At the Apostolic residence all knowl
edge Of the pope's proposal was di
claimed. 1t was said the papal dee
gate had not transmitted 1t to til
United States government and did n,
expect to do 80. The opinion was e.
pressed that 1t would come through
neutral government.
Within the entente diplomatic cir
cles the opinion was freely and prompt
ly expressed that the peace propose
was inspired By Germany and was a.
tempt to split the allies in a col.
fiicting discussion Of their war aims
Would Reduce Armament.

proposals.
The pope's proposal declares that
the injuries to all belligerents have
been 30 great there should be nc

be the return to Germany Of all her

George Dewey.

Americans will lay roses on the bier as they
heaped laures on the head of George Dewey
with hearts full of gratitude for his notable serv
ices to the republic. While it was his spectacu-
lar victory in Manila bay over the fleet COM
manded by Admiral Montejo Of the Spanish navy
that suddenly made him popular hero, that
affair by no means comprised his work for the
nation, which extended over sixty-two years in
the navy. Under Farragut during the rebellion
he developed the qualities that burst into light
when he carried out the command sent him by
cable from Washington to Hong Kong in April
1898 Find Montejo and destroy him was the
order given, and Dewey executed it with thor
oughness that left nothing Of the Spanish fleet
His daring run past the guns OF Corregidor
changed the history of the United States and
fixed the destiny of the American republic on a
new and higher plane.
Since that event his talents and experience
have been devoted to the development OF the
American navy. For sixteen years he has served
as the head OF board charged with working out
the great problems involved in the astonishing
advance made in methods and means OF sea war
fare Politicians have sought to capitalize the
hold Dewey had on the popular heart, but he re-
manned to the end "sea dog" his fealty to his
profession unshaken by alurments Of promised
office. At no time in all his honorable career
did he give his country more of real worth in
service than since he laid down active duty and
took up the work of adviser.
That his end came peacefully on shore is re-
markable, for he had dared death in every form
at sea, serving through two wars and following
his perilous calling with ardor until retired for
age at the very top of the list His name is now
forever the possession Of his country and will go
into the glorious galaxy OF our country along
with those Of Barry, and Jones, and Perry and
Lawrence, Decatur Porter Farragut and all the
long and honored list of sailors who have served
under the flag and made it respected throughout
the world.

Newspaper Men and Leaks"

Uncle Joe Cannon once said in a public ad-
dress, that the operation OF the federal govern
ment' would be wrecked if the Washington cor
respondents were to divulge the secrets they
were constantly keeping. Mr.. Cannon did not
mean that these secrets were improper. He
meant that the newspaper men at the national
capital were entrusted with inside facts, the pre-
mature publication of which might seriously in
terfere with the plans of public officials from the
president down. He added that in his long serv-
ice in congress he had known Of nc instance in
which any newspaper man had violated the con-
hdence reposed in him. ........,
The recent scandal in Washington over the
premature publication of the presidents peace
note resulting it is alleged, in the harvest of rich
profits by Wall street spectators who secured
the advance information, has left the newspaper
men unscathed. While Secretary Lansing took
scores of Washington correspondents into his
confidence, some of them men connected with
financial publications deeply interested in every
officials, including Secretary Lansing and the
congressman who investigated the leak" have
Joined in emphatically declaring that newspaper
men had no part in the premature publication Of
the news that upset the stock market.
1t is a matter of record that Mr. Roosevelt,
when president, consulted freely, almost daily,
with members of the correspondents corps in
Washington These men knew, frequently weeks
in advance, of the presidents plans and legsla-
tive policies Some of them, it is known, helped
nim frame the railway rate OIL, the pure 1000
bill and other measures, the adoption of which
sent stocks soaring or tumbling. The presidents
confidence was never betrayed Presidents and
public men, in Washington and elsewhere, have
learned, or are learning, that so long as they
are devoting their official efforts to serving the
public they have no stronger allies than the rep
rcsentatives of the press. They are learning that
by taking newspaper men into their confidence
and giving them in advance the details of official
plans, the news, when publication is finally au-
thorized, is presented more accurately and ef-
fectively than otherwise would be possible. Wise
officials have also learned that the surest way to
prevent premature publication of plans and news
is to take newspaper men into their confidence
1t is only when public officials attempt to conceal
their plans and suppress news that newspaper
men are forced to take what they can get, and
the result is almost invariably unsatisfactory to
all concerned the officials, the newspapers and
the public. Newspaper men everywhere must be
gratihed over the clean bill of health furnished
them by the Washington officials in investigation
of the recent leak scandal. officials everywhere
may find lesson in the incident.
