Canada is inclined to feel a trii1e sighted because
she is not directly represented in the Washington
Conference. Canadian newspapers are searching
around to find some where to place the blame being
positive that an attitude Of opposition was not as
surned by Washington authorities. Lloyd George
announced in the House Of Commons that the BTU
,sb government would represent the whole empire
at the Conference, and that Is all that the Canadians
know about 1t, but they surmlse a lot. Canadian
papers state, however that al! Canada would ask IN
the conference discussion would be something similar
to the arrangement which las endured for over a
century along the boundary between that country
and tho United States.

Serious Accident

Tuesday evening while playing with
large giant cap over a fire near the
school house, Gaylord Steinberg had
the fingers on his right hand badly
shattered. Gaylord, with John Mil
ler, had crawled through broken
window of the County garage on Sat
urday and gotten the caps out of the
truck and several children to whom
they had been given had played with
them as whistles during that time
Louis Bruno, son of Frank Bruno,
was standing near when the cap ex-
ploded and several pieces of metal
lodged in his face and neck. DR.. AL
ford took charge of both cases.
Just few minutes before the ac-
cident, another cap which had been
swept up and thrown in the coal
bucket with trash exploded in Mrs.
Steinberg's range but did not do any
damage
This accident is hard blow to Mrs.
Steinberg who has been laid up for
over a week with crippled ankle
and Mr.. Steinberg is in Minnequa
hospital.

tons. On the face OF the returns to-
day Nestos has lead of about 600,
with $50 precincts not heard from.
Sveinbjorn Johnson, Independent
candidate for attorney general and
Joseph A. Kitchin, independent can
didate for commissioner of agricul-
ture and labor, are running ahead of
Nestos and have defeated William
Lemke and ]. A. Hagan, respectively.
The proposed constitutional amend
ments and initiated laws have been
defeated. This seems to indicate
that the defeat Of the Nonpartisan
League is rebuke of its leaders
rather than repudiation of its prin-
ciples. The principal assault of the
opposition was directed against At
torney General Lemke, and the result
was apparent in the voting.
The enemies of the Nonpartisan
League did not dare make straight
out fight against it's policies. They
took the position that Nonpartisan
officeholders were incompetent and
impractical and could not effectively
carry out its program.
Nestos is pledged to the completion
of the $2,500,00O mill and elevator at
/ Grand Forks and a continuance of the
Small-Drake -four mill. Two initiated
laws that were voted on and defeated,
provided for the abolition of the
Bank of North Dakota and discontin.
uance of the Home Builders associa
tion. The constitutional amendment
provided for reduction of bonds is
sued for industrial purposes to 81,
5000
Liquidation of the Bank of Nortl
Dakota and an assumption OF tn,
farm loan business by a rural credits
board the independents proposed t.
create, were regarded as the most i'm
portant features of the election. Th'
Bank of North Dakota was held b,
the League leaders as the keyston
of their program. The retention o
these institutions, as the return
show, give the Independents hollow
victory and leaves the Nonpartisal
League in position to reorganize an,
go forth to new political effort.
The cities gave increased votes t.
the league candidates, while Their
was a loss in the country districts
This means that while the league wa
making converts it was losing its owl
members, and this. is due to the fac
tionalism that has been engenderee
by the conflicting ambitions ot
leaders.

Plan by N. L. III. A.
Sketcn illustrates New Features of
Fire Resistive Construction.

~ ANGER from fire in frame houses
has been reduced fifty per cent.
~ through improvements In con-
struction worked out by the most COM
petent engineers In the lumber indus
try. This announcement has Just been
made after these engineers have been
working upon improved designs in
frame construction during the past
year with a view to reducing the fire
hazard for wood houses to q minimum.
Practically no change in appearance
in houses constructed by the improved
methods and very little. II any. addi-
DDS recommended by the engineers give
protective features making tho frame
house essentially resistive to fire.
Interposing Of panels and short
pieces within spaces that ordinarily
serve as flues for rapid spread of fire,
for instance. reduces danger from this
cause. Other protective improvements
prevent. wooden parts catching fire
from chimneys. freplaces. heating
plants and steam and hot water pipes.
While wood will burn and there is
no such thing as "fireproof' house
within the reach Of the ordinary
poclSetbook. the new protective meas
ures devised by the lumber engineers
offer an economical type of construc-
tion that is fire resistive and as nearly
fireproof as frame construction as now
developed can be made, according to
their conclusions. The methods con-
form strictly to the scientific codes of
the most progressive citiec and carry
a minimum of fire risk because OF tho
necessarily slow spread of combustion
in houses following the new typo of
construction.
