friends and neighbors.

The Return Of Good Times Reflected In
the Improved Conditions of Trade.

In talking with group OF friends the
other evening, Gen. S. E. Olson, of the
Big Store, Minneapolis, advanced the
following ideas: The improved con-
d'tlon OF the Northwest and all territory
adjacent 10 the Twin Cities is shown
more i'll the demand for better grades
OF goods than in any way that 1 know
o. When times are hard and money is
scarce the people economic on the
luxuries first, then they begin to cut
their living expenses and the cost of
wearing apparel. The Big Store is the
best index to the condition Of the coun-
try that | know Of Ii it were so that
| never saw a paper and was cut off
from all communications with the out
side world. l could walk through the
a'sles oil the Big Store and by careful
observation OF the people and the goods
they were buying tell whether we were
enjoying an era OF prosperity or not.
at is with the keenest satisfaction"
said Gen. Olson, that l view the tr-
umphs OF the past few years and realize
that the methods we adopted in the Big
Store are appreciated by the people of
the Northwest. l have always believed
that store conducted on the lines that
l have adopted for the Big Store CIV
irg the people pleasure and entertain
ment to liven and make their shopping
trips interesting and take away the dull
uninteresting business aspect would win.
Results prove that was right"
The subject Of the return OF the Thir-
teenth Minnesota came up, and Gen.
Olson expressed himself as believing it
would be the most remarkable gather
ing ever assembled in Minneapolis.
"Of course" said Gen. Olson, "tlle
combined attractions OF President Nc
Kinley and the Thirteenth will be an
event appealing to every patriotic citi-
zen. l have deep personal interest in
the Thirteenth outside OF any patriotic
feeling and have done my little part to
make their homecoming pleasant
one. Minneapolis never does things by
halves, and look for such display of
the national colors as has never been
seen in the Northwest | have had sew
cral designs made by leading artists and
architects for suitable decorations for
the Big Store and hope every good cit
izcn OF Minneapolis will decorate his
house as well as his place of business"

Chicago. March l3.-The Tribune

ence from Porto Rico, from Tribune
correspondent:
San Juan dc Porto Rico, March l3.
The real situation In Porto Rico is
not understood. People in the States
generally regard Porto Rico as sort Of
haven VI peace. The war department
has just requested General Henry that
be Immediately report how many regu-
lar troops he could spare from the
island. The One Hundred and Forty
seventh New York started home last
Sunday. The regular regiments that
remain ste 30 scattered that in many
places where there is necessity for q
strong force only corporal's guard
can be mustered, and territories where
there are continual mutterings and the
greatest evidence OF discomfort at
American rule, are unguarded. Gen.
erai Henry is in q dilema. He has
only three regiments of troops-the
Eleventh infantry. the Nineteenth and
the Fifth cavalry, and two batteries Of
the Fifth heavy artillery.
81 need twice the troops have, -
said the general at his residence in San
Juan. Because OF the easy victory Of
our troops here in the war and in the
apparent friendliness of the natives to
the American soldiers when they i'm
vaded the island, notion prevails in
the States that there is little necessity
for strong force TO maintain order in
the islsnd. The idea is erroneous.
The conditions here are alarming.
These people have been given every
opportunity. but they are clsmoring
now for local self-government. They
are no more fit ior local self govern
ment than am to run q locomotive.
More troops are needed In the island.
The seeds Of discomfort. planted by
professional agitators, are rapidly grow
ing. and can be kept down only by q
strong military foice.
''The ill-feeling between the natives
and the American troops seems to grow
stronger every day. The American
officers have to maintain the greatest
vigilance to prevent their men from
wreaking vengeance on the natives, es-
pecially on the native police, for acts
OF violence that are continually COM
mitted against the troops"
