How it Works in Trail.

In another column is printed a peti
ton asking the commissioners to keeI
the county liquor license at $1,000, which
if they have the power to do, it would put
the lowest license that could be granted
in the city at s1,40O. 1t is only neces
sary to look at other counties to SEE
what the result would be to the tax
payers.
The following is from the last issue o
the Traill County Times:
About 81, 100 has been paid in fines b,
parties indicted for the unlawful sale Q
liquors. 1t has cost Trail county thi
year $11 900 to prosecute them. and stll
the blind pigs are multiplying.

DO WE WANT THE COLLEGE?
A Chance for Jamestown People to
Secure the Location of g
Business College.
The Business of the Pcstoffice
Shows q Very Gratifying
Increase.
Attorney General Nickeus Tells
" How the New Tax Law
will Work.

Chance to Secure Another College.
Here is chance for the Commercial
Union. H. L. Rucker, President North
West College of Commerce, MINNEAPOLIS
wants to establish y business college
and short hand institute in jamestown
and has written one of the business men
of this city the following letter. The
letter is sufficient explanation of the ad-
vantages to be derived from such an in
stitution and the way to secure it. 1t is
as follows:
II contemplate establishing a Business
college and Shorthand institute in that
part of North Dakota and Miss --
who is now attending my school, advises
me to investigate the feasibility of such
an enterprise at Jamestown.
Will you be kind enough to present
the matter to any body OF your citizens
who are disposed to encourage laudable
enterprises to establish in your city?
T will say that in 1884 established a
Business college at Marshalltown, Iowa,
and today it ls>a large and prosperous
school. In 1885 I established the Grand
Island Business College of Grand Island,
Nebraska, and last year the enrolment
reached $50 pupils, and last September
at Aberdeen s. d. and the enrolment up
to the present time has reached l25
pupils. -,
II you compare the above record with
that made by the academy or university
YOU will find that the Business College
is occupying the vantage ground. not
withstand1ng the fact that the pupils are
required to pay nearly double the tut
ton required to attend the Academy.
That all these schools have been sue
cessful proves concluslvely that business
education is the popular and | may say
profitable education of the times.
Reducing it to figures, it costs for tut
ton, board etc., at the least estimate
over $500, for pupil to complete the
prescribed business course in any reput'
able college, and assuming that 1t is
worth as much to those residing IN youl
city you will see that for the poorest re-
cord made, that of Aberdeen, it amounts
to s375,OOO, and it is true that the pat
ronage Of the city in which school Il
located forms very small part OF the
support of such college.
In offering to establish college, do
not ask bonus but I do ask the citizens
to subscribe from $500, to $4,000, wortl
of scholarships to be paid for at tn
opening of the college.

Wants $1,000 County License.

At the last meeting of the county COM
missioners the following petition was pre-
sented, signed by six gentlemen compos-
ing the Executive committee Of the
Evangelical Alliance of Christian
churches" The petition was accepted
and placed on file. It is as follows:
To the Honorable Board of County Com
missioners of Stutsnlan Counry, d. t.:
GENTLEMEN:-Haying been informed
that an effort is to be made to secure
that action upon yonr part whereby the
county licenses to be paid by saloon
keepers shall be fixed below the maxi
mum of $1,000, and believing such action
to be inimical to the moral interests OF
the community and prejudicial to the
financial interests of the county; we, the
executive committee CT the Evangelical
Alliance of Christian churches, respect
fully petition your honorable body not to
take such action, but to establish the
maximum license of $1,000.
While no official opinion has yet been
rendered by the district attorney in the
matter, it is probable that the board will
do nothing for the present to compel the
saloon keepers to take out a county IL
cense for two. reasons. First they al
ready have license from the city run
ming until July LIST, which was issued
before the latest Legislation on the sub
ject was passed, ,and it is extremely doubt
ful whether the county could now have
those licenses declared void. Secondly,
on account of the peculiar wording OF
the at, 1t is doubtful whether the county
has the power to demand license at all
within the city. Several Of the best law
yers in the city express the opinion that
the new law does not repeal the exclusive
power to issue license, granted to the city
under the special charter. The reason for
this construction is that the repeating
clause of the act, which runs ''all acts
and parts OF acts, in conflict with this
act, are hereby repealed" is not sufficient
to repeal a special act. In ORDER to do
that it would be necessary for the clause
to read ''all acts, and parts of acts, both
special and general are hereby repeal
Ied These. words, "both special and gen
eral,' were inserted IN the act fixing the
amount of the license, but were omitted
from the act making a county license
necessary. and it therefore appears that
the city retains the exclusive power to
grant liquor licenses within it's bounda-
| ries.
There are number of these counties
| IN which the same question arises, but
| so far they have all taken the same view
as the Stutsman county officials, that the
county cannot levy license, where city
| has special charter.

POstoffice Business Increasing.


It is an encouraging sign of the revival
in trade and of the solidity of our busl-
ness interests that the receipts OF the
jamestown postofice for the last year
show a considerable increase, in spite OF
the partial failure of the wheat in this
region last year. 1t shows that the turn
ING point has been reached and passed
and that bur city is now on the ascending
incline. -..
The receipts in the money order de-
partment show the largest increase, be-
ing 25 per cent larger than last year.
This is especially gratifying, showing
that our people are net only holding
their own but are able to send away a
large amount of money to other states
and especially to Europe, to help their
families and relatives to come out and
Join them. The money order is especially
the medium of exchange made use OF by
the poorer classess and the increase or
decrease of business in that department
forms an infallible guide to the prosper
ity of the country. When the volume
OF business transacted by the money
order department is large and increasing
it shows healthy state of finance in the
neighborhood and especially SO when
taken in connection with the partial fail
ure of the wheat crop before mentioned.
Janoastown ia not claiming any boom,
but she is claiming substantial advance
in material welfare, while many towns
around her have falleu back.
The total receipts of the office do not
show SO large an increase as the money
order department, but under the circum-
stances even S per cent advance is en-
couraging. The total receipts OF the
jamestown Office for the last two years
are as follows, the amounts being the
receipts during the quarters ending on
the dates given: 100,
