The COURIER desires to heartily
endorse Mr.. Bassett's candidacy

sportsman and would undoubted-

would make a popular hit with
newspaper boys as well as a good

Hicks 1858 Almanac and Paper

we are informed that the 1898 AL
manac of Prof. .Irl r. Hicks is now
ready, and, judging from its past his
tory, it will not be many weeks in
finding its way into homes and offices
all over America. It is much larger
and finer than any previous issue. It
contains 116 pages, is splendidly
printed and illustrated .on fine book
paper, having the finest portrait ever
given of Professor Hicks. It can no
longer be denied that the publications
of Prof. Hicks have become necessity
to the family and commercial life of
this country. His journal Word and
Works, aside from its storm, weather
and astronomical features, has taken
renk with the best literary, scientific
and family magazines of the age. Do
not believe heafsay and reports. See

into Bismarck last week and was
promptly arrested by the sheriff

of criminal libel, preferred by
Boss Patterson and States At

secured bail and got out of the
accursed city on the first train.
His write.up of the affair in the

that thirty other newspaper fell

Chas. S. Fee. the enterprising
and popular general passenger
agent of the Northern Pacific
railroad, has just issued q most
completeand comprehensive fold
Ell on the Alaskan gold fields
which is called 1.-The Key to the
Klondike." The company has
had representative at work for
some time securing the most ac-
curate and up-to- date information
about the Klondike, and it is got
ten up in an attractive and inter-
esting manner. Included is a
brief history of Klondike, the Yu.
kon river and the placers, the
method of mining, together with
time and distance tables of the
Ocean and Yukon steamers, and
those via Dyea and Chill1oot pass.
In addition to quoting q number
of changes and improvements in
the facilities for reaching the
coveted grounds, the folder con-
tains some new information re-
garding the passes, and in con.
clusion has the following: It is
now definitely settled that rail-
way from Dyea to mouth of Dyea
canyon eight miles, and an aerial
tramway = eight and one half
miles-from Dyea Canyon across
the Chilkoot pass to Crater lake,
will be built. Contracts are let,
work is in progress, and the road
and tramway are expected to be
in operation by February 1st. '98.
The capacity of this tram wap will
be 200 passengers and 12O tons
of freight every "a hours. In "a
hours from landingfrom steamer
at Dyea, men and their outfits
can be set down at Lakindeman.
This means great saving of time
and expense via this route. Rates
of transportation not yet an
nounced. Upon application to
Mr.. Fee, one of these instructive
folders will be mailed to you.

Attorney General j. F. Cowan,
of Bismarck. is Il candidate for
congress on the republican ticket
to succeed Congressman John
son. Mr.. Cowan may be a bright
fellow all right, and would prob.
ably make a brilliant congress
man, but before he can get the
support of this old rag o. freedom
he will have to start in at Bis
marck and do a little house clean
ing. There are several blind
pigs running in the capital city
and it is common talk from one
boundary to another of our broad
state that whiskey and beer are
sold openly in Bismarck. And
yet in theface of this our polished
Attorney Generaldraws his$2,000
a year from the people, and
seems to be totally blind to
the order of things as they
exist in the capital city. Before
Mr.. Cowan undertakes to ask for
a higher position withover double
the salary, it would be we'll for
him to commence right at home
and endeavor to earn the salary
he now gets. The people are get
ting tired of setting up idols.
What they want now is men who
will earn their money and live up
to the laws after they are elected.

Temperance Rally.

Hon. A. G.. Rankin, the noted and
successful temperance evangelist, OF
Fargo, finished his five days. crusade
against the liquor traffic, Wednesday
evening, and quite u number took the
pledge, thus freeing themselves from
the grasp of the .tyrant, strong drink,
thereby gaining theiv freedom. Re.
ginning Sunday morning the series ol
discourses delivered in the Baptist
church were listened to by large and
thoroughly appreciative, audiences.
He handled the several phases of the
very important subject in practical,
Christian and gentlernanly manner.
He unquestionably convinced all who
attended his meetings that the partak-
ing of Intoxicating drinks did not
conduce to the physical, moral, social
or commercial welfare of the people.

town where the destructive stuff was

he spoke of the prohibition law of tn 8
state as being one of the constitutions.
ones within the Union, and said that if
our state and county officers honestly
did their duty there would not be a
blind pig running or a bootlegger ex-
listing in, North Dakota today. In
Fargo and the other ditricts, where
the officials manyfulIy lived up to the
letter and spirit of the law, the benefits
to health, morality and business were
easily discernible, but in the other
parts of the state where the Governor
and the Attorney General winked the
other eye, things were a little different
and many of the county attorneys and
sheriff sympathized with those viola
tors of the law, and even when the latter
unprincipled fellows are convicted the
last mentioned official gave them the
same liberty almost as free man had.
fed them from their own tables, and
even allowed them to roam our streets
to the disadvantage of law and order.
The remedy lay with the people who
ought to elect upright, honest men to
further strengthen the hands of those
splendid judges and other officials who
are conscientiously .discharging their
their duties. Thursday night Mr..
Rankin delivered his eloquent lecture
Conditions, or a Panorama of Life"
1t was a most eloquent, thoughtful and
patriotic discourse, interviewer with a
consciousness of Divine supervision,
protection and guidance all through the
passing epochs unfolded from the crea-
tion down to the present time. The
lecture was greatly enjoyed by those
who were fortunate enough to be pre-
sent.

We notice that every time some
fellow comes around with an ad-
vertising dodge, such as hotel
registers, etc, a number of our
business men who are not, or
have not in years, been repre-
sented in the columns of the
county paper, jump right in and
donate a few dollars towards the
scheme by giving advertisements
for the same. Nobody sees the
hotel register but the travelling
men who sell the merchant his
goods, and as the aforesaid tray
cling men do not buy but sell the
merchant, we fail 10 see the bene.
fit derived from such a class of
advertising. If those parties
who make it practice of patron
izing these fake schemes, would
place the same amount of money
with the COURIER and help along
an institution that works for the
upbuilding of the town and county
more good would result from it.
Nearly one thousand people see
the COURIER every week, while
the hotel register is not seen by a
thousand peopleonce infiveyears.
The advertisement in the CoUR-
TER is a paying one, while the one
on a hotel register is throwing
money away. If you have money
to throw away why not throw it
to the ehomeinstitution thatspends
it at home as against the concern
that takes it out of the county?

Several of the state papers are
trying to work up q healthy boom
for Judge Pollock for governor.
The question of his candidacy has
been settled by the fact that he
cannot be a candidate holding his
present position, and of course
he would not think of resigning
that for the uncertainty of the
gubernatorial campaign, because
politics are mighty uncertain.
Then, again, Judge Pollock could
not afford to throw up his present
lucrative position. which he has
for four years with u big chance
of holding it for many years, for
a two year term as governor, to
be kicked out at the end of his
term by the gang who wouldn I
be able to control him. Then,
again, the COURIER is opposed to
him for governor-not because
we do not think he would be an
honor to the state in that position
but we believe that with the
splendid record he has made in
hisdistrict, thathe could best sub.
serve the great interests of the
people by remaining in his judi.
cial capacity. Judge Pollock is
a splendid man and makes an
elegant Judge, and we want to see
him held right there where he
can do the most good. The CouR.

Pollock to preside over their
