1t is said that the 500 road is
graded to Valley City, which is
about ninety miles from Devils Lake
or about 100 by the way of Coopers-
town. 1t is reported that the objec-
tive point ofthe 500 is Brandon or
Regina or some other point on the
Canadian Pacific.
Valley City, Cooperstown, Devils
Lake and Brendon are points on the
most direct route between Valley
City and Brendon; Devils Lake is
on staight line connecting Brandon
and Valley City.
AS far as we know there has been
no intimation from any quarter that
the 500 intends to come through
Devils Lake. But there is a report
that it intends to go west of the lake
and cross the N. P. and also go to
the west Of the Turtle Mountains.
1t seems strange that such a road
would over look the fact that South
east of the lake down to the N. p.
there is belt of country about sixty
miles in width that has no rail road
facilities between the Hope branch
of St. P. M. & NJ. and the James
town Northern except the spur that
runs up to Cooperstown, This belt
is rich farming country.
The country north of the lace is
equally SO and there is a strip of
country about sixty miles wide hav-
ing no railroad between the Cando
branch on the west and the Langdon
branch on the east.
Devils Lake has but one railroad
the G. NJ, and is entirely at the
mercy of that road in the matter of
freight and other accommodations.
1t is unnecessary to go into the ad-
vantages another road would be to
Devils Lake.
1t is unnecessary to consider the
disadvantages to Devils Lake to
have the 500 cut the G.. N. at any
other point east or west. In either
case the result will be loss to
Devils Lake.
There is no point between Valley
City and Brandon or Regina thai
would be of more advantage to the
500 to cross than Devils Lake. The
interests of the people at Devils Lake
and Sheyenne and of the 500 arr
identical. The business men ane
officials of the city should bestil
themselves and make some attemp,
to induce the 500 to come through
Devils Lake.-News.

; Mckinley. in accordance with their
invitation, addressed them, taking for
his subject ''Taxation," in which he re-
marked Ill farmers were Interested. He
said: 1T requires $3.50, ,0N0,0O annual
ly to support thus government One
million dollars must be raised every
twenty -four hours Now how c:,n you
produce this sum with the least burden
to your selves? You must either tax
your own land, labor and wages, or
somebody else's. You can do it by dl.
rect taxation also, as was done during
the late war. I don't believe it is the
best way, think the easiest plan is to
tax the products of foreign people who
seek Il market in the United States.
Win you tax the products that come
into contact with our own or the non.
producing ones: People differ on the
point. Remember that you must raise
the money. We have had experience
with both methods"
Major Mckinley then reviewed the
periods OF comparative prosperity un-
der the different systems of tariff in the
country's history, and resuming said:
agriculture pays under our tariff sys-
tenn. Cardinal Manning said last De-
ccmber that revenue tariff destroyed
agricultural interests in England. 1
am talking to farmers TO-DAY. When
your crops are garnered you want buy
ers for your surplus. What you need
are purchasers for your wheat. Where
do you find them but in the work shops
and factories which have been built up
by the system of protection? What
builds the factory? 1t is the taxation
which support the home against the
foreign. Suppose you break down the
factory, what would become of the peo-
pie? They would ut once turn their at
tention to farming, for they must live;
they would be your competitors instead
of your buyers. They would produce
their bread instead of purchasing it.
[Applause.] The tariff system WAS
ESTABLISHED BY WASHINGTON
and the people who lived ut that time.
They said, we are all farmers, and we
want somebody to buy our products.
The foreign workman buys $4.2O per
wear from you; the American buys 500.
Now which will you support-the home
workers or the foreign? [Applause.l
"Ben Franklin said: He whs the
plow would thrive, himself must either
hold or drive Laughter.l And Ben
also said, Stay by the factory and it
will stay by thee The farmer is get.
ting little more for his products today
than he did two seasons ago, and he
never bought his manufactured goods
SO cheap, for the Last thirty years, as at
present. Don't it ever occur to you that
a mortgage is not always an evidence of
povertys 1t is when a man gives it for
his grocery bill; but when a farmer buys
an adjoining farm and pays half of the
Price and offers a mortgage for the bal
ance, that is an evidence of prospcri.
ty."

A New York father, who in common

Making Rnhhpr Shoes.

Many people suppose that rubber
shoes are made by melting the material
and running it into molds. Such is not
the case.
The manufacture of rubber shoes is
not very much different from the man
ufacture of leather shoes. They are
made on Stats just the same, but in
stead of being sewed they are cemented.
1--WE get most of the raw material
from South America" said drummer
to Denver News reporter. at is
about the color of molasses and is of a
spongy nature.
First, it goes through crushing or
rolling process, and comes out in rough
sheets and looks very much like cows
hide. Then it is taken into compound
ing room, where it is mixed with a com
pound and vulcanized.
After that 1t is cut into small pieces,
according to the parts of the shoes
which we wish to get, and is afterward
fitted on to the Stats by the workmen in
the same manner that leather is.
How much pure rubber is contained
in the manufactured article? About 70
per cent. The best Para gum costs 95
cents pound, SO you see rubber boots
and shoes can not be made for nothing.
In the smallest rubber shoe made there
are about four ounces of pure rubber,
and from that to probably four pounds
in pair of rubber boots.
''Old rubbers are ground up, lining
and all, into what we call rag carpets,
and it is used for insoles.
1.-The work is nearly all done by hand
and in the factories are employed young
men and women. A bootmaker
gets 20 cents a pair for making them,
and good man can turn out from ten
to twenty pair day.
There are between fifteen and twenty
rubber boot and shoe factories in the
country, with total capacity of over
100000 pairs of boots and shoes day. |
''Ehere are four factories having a
of over $4,000 pairs each, and
one has capacity of 10000 pairs. 1t
is mystery where they all go to-

The school board had a meeting on
Monday evening last. The business
co. d was the considering of appli-
ions of teachers for positions in the
schools for the coming year, and the
employment of three of those applying.
Many applications have been received,
some two hundred in all, so says Clerk
Pattison, from all parts of the United
States. All positions in the schools
have been made vacant except those of
principal, Prof Waller being retained
and the Misses Moore. On Monday
evening three applications were IA
vorably considered by the board, and
the parties applying employed. Those
SO employed are Miss Anna D. Nash,
Hastings, Mich, at $50 per month !;
Miss Minnie Lefingwell, Sibley, Iowa,
at $50 per month; Miss Cora L. Storm,
Bird Island, Mimi, at $50 per month
Other places are yet to be filled. In
ihe matter of the site of the new high
,chool building, the board has decided

petent engineer from Pendleton, is now
in the city perfecting plans for the
building of reservoir and laying the
mains. The plans are being drawn for
either gravity or artificial power, the
location of the well being the pivot up
on which will rest the choice. During
the week work has been going on at
Glenwood springs, with but little result.
Mr.. Bragg. of the council committee,

feels confident that bountiful supply
of pure water can be found on Spring
fiat, at an elevation of 900 feet above
the city, and work will be commenced in
that vicinity next week.
