miles north on the first section line
west OF Bowbells, and then six
miles west into Flaxton. Thirteen
judges will be stationed along the

At about 1880 O'Clock last

ground, with 5000 bushels Of
wheat, 1000 bushels of oats, $500
bushels Of rye. and 1000 bushels, OF

by insurance, and MIR. Wiper was
paid for every bushel by the insur-
ance companies at the market price
on the day following the fire. The
elevator building was valued by the
insurance company at $25,5O0 and
was insured for $4,000, and there
will be heavy loss to Mr. Wiper
on this property: About 10000
bushels of this grain belonged to
farmers who had it stored there,
and the balance belonged to Mr..
Wiper. He was keeping it for
seed for his farms, and also intend

had started. in the pit from hot
box on two different occasions sew

dust there smouldered for several
days before it was discovered and

way. The machinery in the eleva7-.

fire for the purpose of cleaning
grain for seeding purposes. and the
engine was shut down before six
o'clock in the evening. When first

A. Eastgate, the new county
agent for Burke county, arrived
here on Monday Of this week from
his home at Bottineau, and is now
located in the building at the rear
OF the First State Bank, the same
place where County agent Edwards

his family to Bowbells until the
end Of the present school term, SO
his children are able to finish their
term, in the Bottineau schools.
This will be Mr. .Eastgate's first
experience as a county agent though
he ie a graduate Of the North Da-
kota Agricultural College, and spent
most OF his life In the, study. OF farm
topics. He Is a very pleasant! fell,

i5 The big piles of grain are now
being loaded onto cars for shipment
to the cities where they will be dis
posed of to the best advantage by
the Insurance companies. Some Of
the grain is badly burned, while
much. OF it does not seem to be
damaged in any way except being
smoked. IT,
As practically all of Mr.. Wiper's
seed grain was stored in this eleva-
tor, and seeding started generally
this week, it sort of :, put him up
against it to procure such seed as
he needed Immediately, but he pur-
chased about 1000 bushels of a
GOOD grade of Marcus wheat at an
elevator at Coteau the fore part of
the week, and Joe Walleen is now
hauling same from Coteau to the
several Wiper farms with truck.
Mr.. Wiper also ordered a carload
OF Canadian seed oats Immediately,
and this should be here by the Lat
ter part of this week, so he believes
he will be able to put in all the
land he originally planned on.
Mr.! Wiper tells us that he will
build q new grain elevator immed-
ately, or as soon as the debris is
moved out CT the way. The new
structure will not be as large as
the old one. but will be more mod.
ern in every way.

Mary Garden Is
 Now Opera Head

Chicago. Jan. 15-Appointment of Miss Mary Garden as general direc- tor of the Chicago Grand Opera As sociation brought all the rumors of artistic differences which have been circulated to a focus yesterday. The resignations of Gino MarinuZzi, artis- tic director because the disputes of the singers gave him 'sleepless nights and Herbert Johnson, executive man ager, were accepted when Miss Gar den was selected.
 Several weeks ago on the eve of Miss Gardens arrival for her opera season, the engagement of Madame Ganna Walska. Polish soprano to ap- pear in ''Zaza" was abruptly called off. Dorothy Jardon of New York was another star mentioned in the re ported clash of artistic tempera- ments.
 "I don't believe in a star regime'' : said Miss Garden in an interview to- 5 day on her plans. "I believe in mak- ing the opera the thing and not the artist. I would have an understudy for every role and if one artist were i'll another would fill the place and there would never be change of opera, even if all the principals were sick. as there is no one indispensable m the World.''
