Swanvi11e Should Be Right.

When Morrison county was asked
to vote $35 1000 bonds for the Little
Falls & Dakota railroad she did SO,
and thereby the development OF the
western part OF the county was pos
sible. A thriving village has been
built up at Swanville, and there is
found market for the products of
the fields and forests ofseveral town
ships surrounding Swanville. Now
that other localities that need a rail-
road equally as bad as Swanville do
ask that the county help them it is
no more than fair that they are as
generous as were other parts of the
county, and that they now give their
aid to the present proposition.
Again, that locality aided almost
unanimously in voting the Water
Power bonds, and this new railroad
project, if successful, will wipe out
the debt of the county and munic-
ipalities to the Water Power CON-
pany.
The people OF Swanville are fair
minded and progressive, and the
proposition is one that can safely ap-
peal to their judgement.

From the desperation with which
most OF the Royalton people fought
the Water Power bond proposition
six years ago it appeared that they
believed the improvement would be
a great injury to that fourislling
village. The result has been con-
trary. and Royalton has prospered
and grown ever since. The lumber
men of that place have sold more
lumber to Little Falls men than they
have to their own citizens, and the
Royalton flour mill has an excellent
trade here. The growth of Little
Falls has been of great benefit to the
leading industries of Royalton and
will continue to be-. While it may. be
that not much help will be derived
from Royalton in the present effort
to further develop NJ orrison county
and Little Falls. we doubt if the
people there will allow themselves to
become as violently 'antagonistic as
they were to the progressive move OF
six years ago. Royalton will grow
with Little Falls and the rest of the
county, and we hope she will accept
prosperity in the, same spirit it is
| rendered. .t..s.s. -. .s-.. - -.~

whether it be in the city Or in the
country want this to go thu ough?
There can be no other answer than
they think they are to derive bene-
fit-that the value of their property
is going to be increased. If they
want to sell they can sell more read
ily and at better prices. If they in
tend to keep the property, that it will
have the advantages of a better mar
ket, better roads, and better sur
rOundings in every respect which are
the real reasons for the additional
value added to the property. No
one should think because he has no
property 10 sell and because he
wants to keep his property, that he
is not benefited. He has the very
advantage that gives the additional
value to the property. The very i'll
ducements for the advance in price
are his and.if he was buying he W ould
take them into consideration.
If there was monthly pay roll in
Little Falls Of 100000 or $3OO,O0O
every part of the county would feel
the effect. There are hundreds OF
different ways in which these advan-
tages are felt. Parties borrowing
money can always secure it with less
difficulty and ON better terms if To-
Gated near a good city. Why is it
that farmers 25 miles from st. Paul
and Minneapolis have for several
years been able to borrow money on
their farms at Z per cent, simply on
| account Of the better local advan-
tages. There are too many causes
for these things to undertake to nu-
merate them but in general terms it
can.besaid without ground for contra
diction, that every locality has bene-
fits or labOrs under disadvantages
that are entirely due to location and
surroundings. Morrison county is
favored by nature and is SO located
that there is no occasion for it to be
III the back ground. This expression
does not have it's origin in prejudice.
1t can be heard from hundreds OF
lips Of persons who do not have any
interest in us and who speak from
wide experience and knOWlege Of
the world. No unbiased, intelligent
and loyal citizen of Morrison county
will say otherwise. And it is to be
hoped that all unbiased, intelligent
and-loyal citizens of the county will
devote some of their time to the actua
study OF the question about to be
submitted for the consideration O
our people. It was the desire to ar
range the amounts Of assistance t(
