STARTED FROM TEACHER'S HOUSE More Details of Serious Prairie Fire Southwest of Minot—Scores of Far mers Lose tRelr Hay Buildings Tine Independent has learned more concerning the prairie are which occurred southwest of Minot last Sat urday. The fire is reported to have started from a new house buUt on a school teadner's homestead. The fel low had finished the house that day and placing some shavings in the store started a fire. The wind carried some sparks to tine dry prairie with dis astrous results. Andrew Eidahl lost aibout 90 tons of fine hay and Wm. Giles lost all of his winter's feed. Both are now engaged in putting up some dry grass, for their stqek. Mr. Spoklie and others lost their hay. The fire covered a strip of country four miles wide and many miles long. Hundreds fouglht the lire, but it went with such rapidity that they could only check the flames at the side. The fire jumped the highways and fire breaks, making leaps of fifty yards or more, sweeping everything in its path. Mr. Haimer, son of John Hamer, lost his bam and machinery. He saw the fire coming, and it is said he could have saved his barn, but was too exoit ed. Tumbling weeds on fire helped to spread tfne flames. NOTICE OF MORTGAGE FORECLO SURE SALE BY ADVERTISEMENT.

The Kansas City Journal has a sto rv which shows how the farmers were robbed under the infamous Democrat ic tariff law of 1893-7 compared with the conditions now. Kansas raises com and North Dakota raises wheat but the principles are the same. The story follows: Back in '94 a farmer bougfht a farm wagon in Hutchinson for $60. It was a good farm vehicle, and the farmer was of the kind who took care of his property. The other day he came back to the same Hutdhinson dealer and said he wanted 'to buy another wagon just like the one he got in '9b "It was a good one," he said. "That's the reason I want another. How much are you going to charge me?" The dealer reflected a moment and then askeel: "1 think you paid $60 for that wagon, didn't you." "Thai's right," said the farmer. •'It will cost you $70 now," said tine dealer. Distinctly surprised, the farmer be gan to object and then demanded I he reason. "Well," said the dealer, "the ma terial, like lumber and iron and steel, has advanced In price and it costs me more now to buy them. The tariff probably has something to do with it, too. At the mention of the -word "tariff" the fanner went straight up In the air. He began to expound against the theory of the wSiole thing. The dealer let him run along a while and than asked again: "Say when you bought that wagon from nie in '1)4, I tMnk you paid for it in corn, if remember rightly, didn't you?" "I did,' said the farmer, "but what has that to do with it?" •'Yon had to give me tiOO bushels of corn for that wagon, didn't you?' asked the dealer again. "I did," said trne farmer, after re calling in his own mind that corn was only selling at ten cents a bushel in these days. "Tell you what you do," said the dealer, "vou bring me in 600 bushels of corn tomorrow, and I'll give you this wagon "^Vell, say, hold on began the farmer. Tiiie dealer interrupted him in turn "But that isn't all," he said "In ad dition to the wagon I'll let. you and your wife go over to the warehouse and .pick out a surrey. Tttien vou go and pick out the best self-binder in the shop. And "Here, wait a minute started the fanner. "I'm not through vet," said the dealer. "When your wife comes in I'll let 'her go into the warehouse de partment and pick out the best range we have. And just for good measure, suppose -you tell your wife that she can also .pick out enough kitchen utensils to entirely refurnisih your kitchen. Now, I'll just give you that —all of what for 600 bushels of corn. In '94 the same amount of corn got you just the wagon. That's a fair proposition, isn't it?" The farmer was stunned. "I'll fust work this out in figures and show you what you are getting," continued the dealer. "We'll put the wagon down at $70 the self-binder at $125, and that'll get you a beauty: the surrey at $125 the kitchen range at $80, and that certainly ought to be a peach and the kitchen utensils at $20, and that ought to buy a few. Add that together and you have $420. Multiply 600 bushels of com at 70 a busfnel and you have $420. The farmer dug up his $70 for the wagoa without saying another word and motioned to the dealer to join him at the cigar stand for a smoke." That is the condition to wrQich Gov ernor Burke, W. J. Bryan, John Lind and the state Democratic committee in asking tihe farmers of North Dako ta to return. In the language of Br. Bryan, they want Governor Burke's non-partisan claims to deceive enough Repufolfdan voters to elect the state legislature which in turn will elect two Democratic United States sen ators. And let It never be forgotten that the tariff law which gave the far mers of Kansas ten cent corn and those of North Dakota fifty cents wheat was passed in the senate by a majority of one and that the vote oi Senator Roach of North Dakota, and that Governor Burke as a member of the legislature, voted for him. Is it not time for the people to lav aside sentiment and take a candid view of the real issues in this campaign? Governor Burke is seeking to elect a DemocrSfTe legislature and that means two votes for ten cent corn and fifty cent wheat. Do the farmers want it? Can the business men afford it?
