Twice on the downward trip he exe uted his spiral dip—the one that led to ibe death of Ralph Johnstone in Denver only a short time ago. . The third time the boy aviator attempted it he went over. A gust of wind caught the tilting planes of his machine and turned it completely over. There was absolutely no hope for Hoxsey. His machine shot to earth like a plummet an when the dazed and fear stricken mechanics and spectators rushed to the spot the body of the boy was found beneath the ruins of his machine erusiied to an almost unrecognizable mass Moisant Killed at New Orleans.

Chairman Mullins named Dr. Shellman, C. M. King and M. O’Brien as such com- mittee. Auditor Spang was authorized tc secure the service of an architect to prepare plans for the rearrangement of the court house for the purpose of making additional room. It és Au- ditor Spang’s idea to equip the base- ment for use by the register of deeds who is greatly hampered in his work because of the cramped qua ters. Under tthe proposed plan the treasurer would be tramsferred tc the rooms now used by the regis- ter of deeds, and the amditor’s of- fice would be enlarged by the ad- dition thereto of ithe room now used by the treasurer. Other changes are also considered. ; Jé ‘was decided to receive wood for the court house and jail after Feb- raary 20. The auditor will publ'si a notice announcing the kinds and amount desired and the prices to b paid. Under this arrangement any- one who has wood to sell may deliver it at the court house in e‘ther large or small quantities until the amoun, feedea has been supplied. The plan adopted has proven very satis- factory during the past two years. AN road petitions were laid. over until next meeting. A number of bills were allowed. The next meeting will be held February. -7th. ee ee ee ee BOVEY BRIEFS FROM THE IRON NEWS Soageeteeeniete Setetets ee 3 Bo oe ae ee aes a Itasca county has made a gain of 276.5 per cent says the Herald-Review making the largest gain im population. of any of the countiics in the state— there’s a reason.

The Great Necessity of Greater Ef- forts to Lessen the Loss of Property and Life. | Governor Eberhart of Minnesota, jaddressmg the Commercial Club: © Chicago last week made a strops plea against national and ind.vidual waste as the great evil of the age. He dealx. chiefly on the impoverish- | ment of the soil, but there are other ; important) forms of waste which h¢ | might have given an, equal emphatic | warning. Take the fire waste of whe country for example. In Minme- sota this year, it is over a million | dollars more than last year. Part of this is due to the forest fires, but | the fle losses of the leading towns | and cities, as reported by the siate | fire marshal, are far ahead of 1909, | Insurance Commissioner Hartigan. | estimates the 1910 losses for the | state at) $4,268,000, as compared with | $3,886,000 last year. In the country as a whole the fipe losses for 1910 | are nearly $30,000,000 ahead of last | year, and the cost of the nat‘onal ash | heap, largely due to municipal and imr | dividual carelessness, is $250,000,000. | Most of these fires are preventable | and represent an absolute destruction of property. Thies is a form of waste | quite as important as the impoverish- i ment of the soil, in, the economic | loss involved, and more so in one | way, since score of lives are sacrific- | ed each year im this. estate through | these preventable fires. The recent’ Forest Fire conference at St. Paul | showed how much destruct‘on could ' be reduced through watchfulmess, cleaning up and reasonable precau- tions. But! forest fires merely burn | the uncut timber, while the buming of homes, stores and factories destroy this same timber after human toil and skill and brains have gone into it. “| Watchfuimess, clearing up and reason- | able precaiitions are urgently need- | ed there also. -If it is important to conserve the natural resources of the country, it is more importamt to con- serve them after they have become utilized resources. If forest fires should ibe stopped, why. should there not be also a public awakening on the need of protecting the homes and properties of the people against the needless, dangerous and costly fire waste? | ) Hot From the Wires.

Hach day here and on the range wakes us thilak that the closmg or- der us a demd farce. Hach day we are respecting the gov- ernment with less and leas force. Bach day the ld is being tilted a trifle more and more and the worst seems yet to come. What good has come from the clos- | tog orderf? A condition of anarchy. What is anarchy? Webster’s Unabridged says that anarchy is an absence of govermment; the state of society where there is no jaw, or su- preme power, a state of lawlessness. And that's us. The government so far has stopped our city revenue and that is all—save the leaving of a, condition that, is dis- reputable to a nation of canniba's. The closing order was all tothe good. We had too many saloons for our population, The government took the matter out of the hands of the local police and city council. They did not not recognize them enough to consult wida tthem. It ip then the duty of said government to: go on’ with their own affairs. Jus}, pow me one can tell where we ate at. Many towns we are told are opening up again. regardless of the closing order. [t is a dead moral certaimy that no one is dry who needs a drink. What good was the closing order. Is our great and glorious government going to Le down on their present achievements and let things go op as they are? Has any town been really closed up? Has all the wet goods been shipped out as the agents ordered? And why and what have we done to put us in a worse condit’on than we were before? Never again give Bovey 23 saloons. Forbid the thought. But, om the other hand-we are entitled to some consideration as between man and mam; or a great government and tts beloved subjects. As a part of the great machinery we should have a voice and it should be raised im denouncing the act which placed us in our presemt condition. The fime tooth comb of the govern- ment should go over the Ind‘am terri- tory..onee more and complete its work—else repeal its present policy —Bovey Iron News. Jessie Lake Couple Married. A young couple that attracted com- siderable aittention” at ‘the Great Northern depot Friday carried the casB: “We're just married.” As it’ is human nature to be curious, the pastengers at the depat began to wonder who they were.

The situation was explained amd he immediately approached the young couple afd made inquiries. It trane- pired they were Mr. and Mrs. August Young, of Jessie Lake, and were mar- ried at the court) house by Jadge Hu- som that forenoon.
