Railroad Compensation for Fire Losses

The Northern Pacific Railroad Company, voluntarily, without pressure of law, notified the residents of Big Timber, Mont., the town which was almost totally consumed by fire a few weeks ago, that the railway company would pay fifty cents on a dollar for all fire losses. The fire was started by a spark from a locomotive. This was an honorable thing to do.
