We therefore will now speak, az plainly 40
possible, to those interested, and would
ask that the matter be given more than 3
mere passing thought. The trade which
has built up this village has been drawn
from this and adjoining counties, a large
portion of il coming here for the simple
reason that this was the nearest and most
convenient market. Now, however, new
lines of railroads are cutting into our terri
tory and drawing away portion of our
trade, the line from Melross via Sauk Gen.
tire and Osakis to Alex andria is drawing
part of the trade from Pope, Douglas and
Grant, and on the other side we will soon
have the Hastings 6 Dakota road taking
another large slice from Big Stone, Swift
and Traverse. All of these counties here.
tofore furnished large portion OF the
trade of our village, and we of course ex-
pected to lose some of it, but that portion
which belongs to this point we must make
every effort to retain. If freight rates are
the same, and it is altogether probable that
each of the companies will keep their rates
as nearly uniform as possible, in order to
control a portion of the trade, we must
then offer every inducement to the farmers
to come here and trade. To do this we
must first put the roads in proper condit-
ion for travel. We have had all the talk
that is necessary, what we now need Is
action-prompt and immediate action, this
matter must receive attention from our
business men, measures must be adopted
to place all the lines leading into this vii.
lage in good repair, and new roads will
have to be laid reaching into every section
of country tributary to this point. The
towns on each side of us are devoting time
and money in this direction, and unless we
are alive to our interest will soon head US
off. Much of the trade that belongs to US
will be divectrd elsewhere unless we strike
now, the trade we now control must be
kept, and to do this we must wake up and
bestir ourselves. 1t is much easier to re-
tain than to recover or regain, and if Nor
ris is to progress in the future as in the past,
we must not only endeavor to retain con.
troll of the trade, we now have, but must
also push our lines of roads in all direc
tions. There are no fears but that we can
compete with other points, and offer to the
public equal inducements, this being the
case, we must have our thoroughfares in
condition to invite travel. 1t is necessary
in building up town like ours, to have
every team, not only bring but carry o
load, it is loaded wagons coming
produce-and going-with merchandise
that adds wealth to the village. If roads
to other points are in better condition fol
travel, and we offer no better inducements
in prices, we lose the trade, this rule will
work both ways, and we want to know
whether we are to be on the business enc
of the. line or not.

Secretary Sherman in a letter to war
democrat in New York city says:
What / would aspire to in case public
opinion should decide to make me q can
didate for President, would be to unite in
CO operation with the republican party all
the national elements of the country that
contributed to or aided in any way in the
successful vindication of the national au.
thority during the war would do this,
not for the purpose of irritating the South
or of expressing them in any way, but to
assert and maintain the supremacy of the
national authority to the full extent of all
the powers conferred by the constitution
