Bad Fire at Hannah
Early on Sunday
Hotel Property Is Total Loss
In Midnight Blaze That
Visited End Town

Early Sunday morning. between
one and two o'clock, the occupants of
the Boundary Line Hotel at Hannah
were awakened by the alarm of fire,
which had already gained such head
way that the escape from rooms on
the second and third floor was only
possible from a rear exit, stairway
from the second floor. The fire is
thought to have had it's origin in
overheated stove pipes in the kitchin
where clothes had been left drying
overnight, Neither guests of the
hotel or Landlord and Mrs. A. A.
Scott were able to save anything,
some of the roomers on the third
floor barely escaping with their lives
Hannah is entirely without fire
fighting apparatus. but the valiant
efforts of the bucket brigade saved
the adjoining property Of the Prior
lumber yard and large livery barn
located on the same lot as the hotel.
The hotel was built almost twenty
years ago by VIM. Marriott and up to
the purchase of the property three
years ago, was owned by VIM. Davis.
The fact that it was iron clad aided
in confning the fire to its place of
origin. Hannah has now experience ed
two bad fires within the year that
tend to cripple its capacity for doing
business, the McGrath store, which
was the scene of a bad fire last fall
and the hotel fire of early Sunday
morning this week. In order that
the town keeps apace with its trade
demands there will have to be quite
line Of building done this summer.
The loss of r.Scott is uEderstooc
to be covered by insurance amount
ing to SIS, 500. one policy for 81. OO(
covering the building and the othe,
for 81, 500 on the furniture ant
household goods.

Tires of Free Love and High
Taxation of StateLeague
Administration

Leaving North Dakota because of
the Nonpar tisan league-high taxes
under league administration and So
cialistic teachings of league leaders,
A. A. Scott. proprietor of the hotel
at Hannah, said in a letter received
last Thursday by F. D. Sherman, of
St. Paul, the state immigration COM
missioner, that he purposed to o'locate
in Minnesota or Wisconsin, provided
he can escape the league.

Hannah hotel for siA years, he decid

an improved and equipped : farm in
Clearwater county. MIR. Scott con
tinued: Zone of the main reasons

there was grave danger that Townley

Railroad Extension Talk

In another column of this issue of
the Democrat, the secretary Of the
Cavalier County Railway Company,
Mr. Robert Robertson, issues q call
for public meeting to be held in
the Rober tson school house in West
Hope township on Saturday afternoon
at two o'clock. The purpose of the
directors of the railway company is
to find what sentiment and practical
suggestion may be offered by inter
esting parties to aid in the extension
Of their branch line at MAZDA to
Concrete with the line of the North
ern railway, now running from Con-
crete to Edinburg. The project is
feasible one and if farmers along
the proposed route are alive tH their
own interests will be pushed through,
making available market for their
crop with much shorter nAul than
at the present time.

live WIRE CANDIDATES
FILE FOR CITY ELECTION

With less than three weeks to
Langdon's city election there would
appear to be every reason to antici-
pate that ticket is being made up
that should receive the unanimous
endorsement of the voters. A week
has passed since the announcement
OF Alderman Stranger of the Second
Ward of his candidacy for mayor at
the election on Tuesday. March 18th,
and the indication at present is that
there will be no opposition. In the
First ward w. A. Bolton would ap-
pear to have the same walk away
for alderman as successor to DR.. Tom
Smith, who declines reelection.
The Second ward voters almost to a
man are placing their signatures
upon the petition of E. ]. Fox as
their choice for successor to VIM. M.
Stranger for alderman. The Third
ward also would seem to have
reached a decision as to their choice
for an alderman in DR.. A. o. Wold
to take the place of T. B. Hankey,
who does not aeek reelection. With
makeup of city officials as repre-.
sented by such men as these the
administration of municipal affairs
for the coming two years is not
likely to take any backward step.
Each have been identified more or
less with what the council has ac-
complished during the two terms of
Mayor Powers administration and
can be depended upon to continue
keeping Langdon on the map as a
live and up-to-dare town to live in.
Both City Treasurer Milne and Police
Magistrate JAS G. Dickson are
understood as being in the field for
re-eiection and the ticket as whole
is one that is representative of what
Langdon needs along administration
lines at time when any backward
step would work any injury and hal
the opportunity for advancement il
the most important period of it
history.

Going Away Of Langdon Pastor

On Sunday. March 7th, it is ex.
pected that Dr.. Robt. Harkness, who
has been pastor of the Presbyterian
church Of this city since coming to
.Langdon last June will fill the pulpit
for the last time before his return
to Eastern Ontario. His residence
here, though extending over less tina
a year, has been marked by Develop
ment in every movement in the
church work which tends to make the
regret of his going away manifest
as loss to Langdon as community
to almost the same extent as within
his immediate field of labor. The
new pastor. Rev. Faucette, who
comes here from Spirit Lake, Idaho,
is expected to arrive during the same
week and take up his work with the
services of the following Sunday.
D Hardness and wife before return
ing east plan to spend possibly a
month in visiting relatives and old
friends at Saskatoon and other
points in the Canadian Northwest.

URGE EXAMPLE OF

That friends Of Irish independence
In the American Congress could make
q more effective impression on Great
Britain by granting Philippine inde

sympathy with Irish aspirations is the
suggestion contained in a statement Is
sued by the Philippine Press Bureau
of Washington, D. G.
"Twice in a period Of nine months"
reads the statement. "the United States
Senate went on record as being In SYM

"Still another way for the friends of

I'VE submit that the granting OF
Philippine independence would be like
ly to be accepted by Great Britain as
even stronger proof Of Americas be-
lief in self-determination than the pas
sage of the Irish resolutions, because
Great Britain's councillors of state
could not then successfully make the
point that the American Congress is
asking Great Britain to do something
the United States itself has been asked
to do and has not done.
''The Filipino people have confidence
In the word of America and hope that
now that the Senate has reiterated its
sympathy with the principle of self

a concrete example of consistency and
good faith by granting Philippine In.
