ORIGIN OF
HOTEL FIRE
is UNKNOWN

Washburn, N. D., Aug. 3.-Fire
which started at one o'clock in the
Kitchen of the Washburn Hotel YES
terday completely burned the interior
OF the dining room and office and
| destroyed the contents of all the
rooms at the north end of the build
| ing. The rooms at the south end of
the hotel are smoke and water dam
aged so that they will be a total loss.
All property of hotel is damaged be-
yond repair.
The fire which originated in the
Kitchen had raced through the dir.
ing room and up through the upper
story and out at the peak Of the roof
before the volunteer firemen had
started their first stream of water
in the kitchen window. Within a few
minutes two more hose lines had heen
connected up and with the aid of this
help the fire was soon confined to
the upper story of the building. Here
the fire resisted the efforts of the
fighters for more than an hour. as it
ragged intensely through the dry tim
bers OF the partition walls and gar
ret. A three sided attack finally
placed the fire under control, saving
the shell of the buildings and also
the other buildings of the same block.
The buildings that would ultimately
have been consumed were the Will
liams Confectionery, the Post Office
and Schweitzers Meat Market.
The entire stock of the Williams
confectionery store was damaged by
fire, smoke and water. The post Of
flee building and stock was unin-
jured.
Joe Tower, proprietor of the hotel
states that the origin Of the fire is
unknown but that from the location
of the first outbreak he assumes that
it was from the kitchen range. Mr..
Tower was the first to notice the fire.
and as soon as he had awakened his
guests and family turned in the
alarm. He states that the contents
of the building were covered by in
surance. Aug. VAIL, owner of the
building states that a policy of
$35OO.OO was carried on the struc-
ture. The property Of Williams con-
was amply protected by in
surance.

REPUBLICAN,
CONTROL HIT
IN US. SENATE
Removal of Vice Presidents
Vote to Break Tie May
Affect Deliberations

\ Washington, Aug. 3.-{By the As.
ISOLATED Press. 1.-THE Republican or
ganization in the senate will lose one
vote during >the next Congress
through the death of President Hard
ing-a Vote which many party lead
ers thought might be necessary to
save control of that party over mat
ters of legislation.
Now that the office of, vice-presi-
dent is no longer filled it is neces-
sary to select presiding officer
who, as senator, would cast his
vote on roll-calls. While the Vice
President as presiding officer never
in debate he was reguir-
ed by the Constitution to break any
tie vote which might result. With
the Republican strength in the sem
ate reduced almost to the vanishing
point and with threatened new align
ment of senators the Importance of
the Vice Presidents vote took on
new proportions.
Who will be chosen as presiding
officer cannot be foretold. Senator
Cummins of Iowa was selected by
his colleagues at the last session to
preside in the absence of Vice Presi-
dent Coolidge but he has expressed
desire to be relieved in order to give
more time to his duties as chair
man of the interstate commerce COM
mittee.

WAS
MAN TO WIN.
ATTENTION
Massive of Frame, He Stood
Slightly Less Than Six
Feet in Height

Washington, Aug. 3.--(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-Massive in frame and
feature, figure to attract a second
look in any crowd, that was Warren
G. Harding, the man.
Although slightly less than six
feet in height, he carried his 2lO
pounds without any. hint of obesity
and his unusually broad forehead and
heavy jaw rounded out an impression
of force and distinction.
Contrasting sharply with his al
most silver gray hair were markedly
thick black eyebrows which almost
masked pair of calm gray eyes. In
repose his face took on the aspect
of severity SO often in his photo
graphs, but when he talked or listen
ed the lines were broken by a smile
that radiated cordially.
Mr.. Harding was both good con-
versationalist and a good listener and
he loved to rub elbows with his fell
low man. His first official order was
chat the gates of the White House
grounds be thrown open and at the
start he received visitors at almost
any hour of the day. This took up so
much of his time however, that the
establishment Of fixed hour for
this purpose was decided upon.
Each day after he had cleared his
desk and was ready for lunch he
received groups of visitors in the ex-
ecutive offices, shaking hands and
exchanging a smile and a word with
each individual. White House Off
GERS estimated that an average of
200 persons called upon him daily.
He revived also the more formal
such as the New Years
receptions and the state and diplo-
matte dinners.
Mr.. Harding was very fond of chill
dren, though he had none of his own,
and Easter egg rolling on the White
House lawn was made an annual
event.

Whistle Will BE Heard Again
on Missouri River


The steamboat whistle will soon
be heard again on the Missouri. The
Benton Packet Company will operate
its boats again this fall, hauling
grain up and down the river, princi-

was washed into the river sometime
ago by a cyclone, to handle grain re-
ceived by boat.
The company will operate the
Frayne, Benton and Expansion and
perhaps the Marion, the former ferry
boat. During the early months Of the
summer packets piled between Bis
marck and. Fort Yates, hauling coal

Something to
Think b0uf
KEEPING IN TUNE
by F. n. WALKER

ITO AVOID an occasion for unhappi-
= ness, for dull days and dreary
nights, we should do our best to keep
in tune with the "Music of the
Spheres"
The tuneful people, the people with
songs on their lips and smiles In their
eyes are the people who manifest the
keenest interest In things around them
and take daily part in doing the
worlds work.
The secret Of their continued con-
tent Is In employment, change o.
thought, the right sort Of physical and
mental activity, which make them OBJ
livious to the jarring discords around
them.
The still pool becomes stagnant. So
does the dormant mind.
There Is bewitching music and ex-
hilarating thrill In the bubbling waters
Of the crystal brook; there Is never a
note Of gladness In the idle mind,
where discomfort holds sway and dis
NAL forebodlngs darken the beams Of
the brightest day and dull the voice Of
greeting friends.
Men and women who keep In tune
scatter their sunshine wherever they
60, and perhaps without knowing It.
Though always occupied, they find
time to smile, to help the unfortunate
and to console the III. They decline to
air their virtues, refuse to worry, carry
close to their hearts the priceless vial
of faith and never run away from the
battle.
They contrive to love, respect and
coordinate, and thus they keep In
harmony with their fellow kin by be-
ing sympathetic, friendly and helpful.
They accept honorable defeat as
form Of victory, content with the glori-
ous, courageous virtue of faith, In
which they fnd their greatest consola-
ton when the discordant noises Of the
world beat all around them.
Ever seeking the brighter things,
they discover in them their own hap
piness and the knack Of imparting 1t to
others. which. after all that Is said
and done, Ii the explanation Of keep
Ing the world attuned to Natures
grand diapason which gives to life its
sweetest laughter, songs and blessings.
Keeping In tune ID not difficult for
those who keep the faith, for even In
their darkest hours they seldom strike
wrong key Or miss . measure Of
their Joyous song.
