TWO HOMES BURN
At ALEXANDRIA
Defective Flue Held Responsible.
Hydrants Frozen.
THE HERALD BUREAU,
X. y. knight & Son,
81 ga King STREET


Alexandria. Va. Feb. 6-Two small
frame tenement houses, known as sls
and 921 North Washington street,
were destroyed by fire at 12:3O O'Clock
this morning. entailing a loss esti-
mated at 1850, which is covered by
insurance. Sparks from the burning
houses ignited the roof of the house
at s23 North Washington street, di-
rectly north of the burned houses, and
considerably damaged It.
The house where the fire originated
was occupied by Robert Clay, colored,
who lost most of his effects. A defec-
tive flue is thought to have been re-
sponsible for the blaze. The second
house was unoccupied. Emily Butler,
colored. occupied house 923, whose
roof took fire.
Mrs. Maggie Nelson. of Washing
ton, is owner of the burned houses.
When the firemen arrived they found
the fire hydrants frozen, and this
greatly handicapped them, although
they finally succeeded in thrawing
them out with steam from the en-
gines. The fire made a big blaze,
which could be seen for a considerable
distance.

Kitch Aids County By
Helping Citizen Indians
Close Cooperation Among County and
Reservation Authorities Proves A
Great Aid to Everybody

Superintendent j. B. Kitch, in
charge of the Standing Rock reser-
vation, informs the Pioneer that he
expects that the seed bought by the
government for issue to the Indian
farmers on the reimbursable plan
will he sufficient for both the trust
patent and fee patent Indians.
The trust patent Indians. however
will be taken care Of first, but ample
seed for the needs Of all is now on
hand or on the road. By March
18th Mr.. Kitch will know the
amount of seed that will be required
in all the districts and will then ap.
portion the remainder among the
fee patent Indians who are in need
of aid.
AS the county commissioners meet
March Goth to act ON seed grain ap-
plications this will relieve the county
of the necessity of furnishing seed tc
a number of Indians who have made
application. AS the amount Of seed
the county can purchase is limited
to $15, 100000 worth, the county can
furnish the white farmers seed fol
increased acreage.
Under the administration of Sup
crintepdent Kitch there has been
close cooperation among the county
and reservation authorities. The
action Of Mr.. Kitcll in the matter Of
seed grain, for instance, is Of great
help to the county at this time, as
under the law it would be required
to furnish the fee patent Indians
seed.
With the needs of the Indian far
mers solved more help can be given
the white settlers and in this way
the crop production of the whole
reservation country materially in.
creased.

No More Federal Farm
Loans For No. Dakota
Seed Bonds Shall Hive Priority Over
All Mortgage on Land Except Those
Prior to Passage Of Law

st. Paul newspapers last week car
ed an interview with E. G..
Quamme, president Of the Federal
Farm Loan Bank for this district,
including Minnesota and both Da-
kotas, in which it was given out
that no more Federal Farm Loans
would be made in North Dakota,
for the reason that in counties where
seed and feed bonds were issued,
these bonds under the law adopted
at the special session Of the Legisla-
ture shall have priority over all
mortgages on the land owned by
persons who take advantage Of same
except those existing at the time Of
the passage Of the law, January 20.
Until a question of legal status
has been settled by the Office Of the
attorney general Of the United
States," Quamme said, no more
loans will be issued in North Dako.
ia. Loans signed and closed before
January 20, will of course be paid.
Federal laws governing these
loans make it clear that-farm loans
be only on first mortgages. My as
sociates and myself understand that
under the new North Dakota laws,
farmers may borrow to buy seed and
thus if they desire to borrow from
the federal loan hank, our mortgage
on their land might not be the first
lien and we must have the first lien.
Therefore we are merely taking
up the matter to ascertain whether
money borrowed under the new
North Dakota law permitting bor-
rowing for seed is borrowing under
the lien that would be given priority
over ours"
If there ever was a time when the
farmers of North Dakota needed the
Cheap and easy term farm loans
made by the Federal Loan Bank, it
is the present. 1t seems that the
Non Partisan Legislature has by it's
new law injured the credit of the
farmers of the state.
The old seed grain aid law was
good enough, and any relief needed
could have been had under it. The
calling of the special session and en-
acting this new law proves a costly
mistake.
