HOW THE SULTAN CAME TO JOLO
When the sultan came to Jolo to
meet General Bates and to prepare the
official papers he and his retinue pre-
sented a brave appearance. The gen.
eral had sent an aid to the neighbor-
ing village to meet and escort his en-
cellency (or, more properly. his title is
"Majasari," the spotless, the most
pure). The sultan was surrounded by
a dozen members of his court. and
about sixty men-at-arms. thirty OF
whom carried rifles al the position "ad-
vance carbine." preceded the potentate.
All except the sultan wore native at
tire and the sunlight gayly glnted on
barong, kris and spear and the kaleido-
scopic colors of their various costumes.
At the town gate this retinuc was met
by four companies and the band of the
TWenty-thirG regulars, dressed in their
/ busincsslike uniform OF khaki. AS a
whole it presented a picturesque and
! interesting sight, this ruler OF these
distant Islands going TO meet the fed
eral general to 5ign allegiance to the
United States and TO ask for the same
/ flag which floats over New York. Kan
sas, Alaska and various other places

and would not have the least attrac-
tive costume among those startling
creations.
These people have practically never
acknowledged the sovereignty of Spain
and have frequently matched the kris
against the rifles Of the Spaniards.
NEGOTIATIONS WITH SULTAN.
There was the usual oriental delay
by the sultan in signing the agree
ment presented by General Bates, and
the general wisely improved the OPP
pOrtunity by making the acquaintance
Of the leading datos and establishing
the friedliest relations with them. To
accomplish this the general crused
among the various islands on the
Charleston. which ship in itself was
at the disposal of the natives as an OBJ
ject lesson. Such was the progress
made by General Bates with the datos
that if the sultan had concluded to
disagree with the United States his
majesty would have found but few
GatOs who would follow him.
At last, after a delay nt five weeks,
the sultan consented 10 sign the papers
presented by the general, doubtless
after he had received some sound ad-
vice from his advisers and from his
mother the sultana. The agreement

A TOWN never amounts to any
thing more than it's citizens make it.
If they are not wide+awake, enter
prising and public spirited, then the
town will never progress. In every
community there are two classes,
one who believes in helping push and
improve the town. They never hesi-
tate to contribute time and money.
The other class is always kicking
and holding back either never con-
tribute a dollar to the public or do
SO grudgingly and very sparingly
but are always on the alert to make
every nickle on the occasion when
the enterprise OF others have result
ed in attracting a crowd to town.
Whatever benefits community as a
whole benefits every individual re-
siding therein directly or indirectly,
and the enterprising and progressive
class is entitled every time to the
business patronage OF the communi-
ty at large.-Ex.

Trusts Are EVERYWHERE.

There are trusts in Germany

as every other country which has
great industries or natural resources
valuable nough to attract large
sums OF capital in their develop

damage in some OF those countries
than they are doing here. Neverthe.
less the Republican party will keep
up it's warfare on the trusts. It has
been fighting them from the day
they first made their appearance.
1t is the only party which has had
either the courage or the intelligence
to strike blow at the illegitimate
practices of the combines and to re.
strict them in their operations. It
is a satisfaction, therefore, for the
country to know that us the Repub.
lican party is going to remain in
control of the nation for years to

kind words OF encouragement OF
late, for all of which we are truly
thankful. It is not often that the
arduous labor of the newspaper
man is being appreciated, hence
these expressions OF good will are
welcome and help to cheer us on in
the work. Even a newspaper man
prefers a kind word to a kick or un-
friendly criticism. Many have also
favored us with paid up or paid in
advance subscriptions, and we hope
that many more will remember us in
this way, as we have been to great
expense in installing our new print
ing machinery. Again we say to
all friends, THANK YOU

LAND in the Red River valley

LAND in the Red: River valley il
Minnesota will never be lower. ii
price than it is to-day. From thi.
time on it is bound to advanc,
steadily. It is we'll known fac
that land on the Dakota side is nc
better than land on the Minnesota
side of the Red river, yet it has al
ways been held and sold at higher
price per acre, often double what
land on the Minnesota side would
bring. The reason for this was ex.
planned in this manner by E. D,
Childs, OF Crookston, in his address
to the grain growers convention at
Fargo:
''It has been customary for the
newspapers Of the cities and the land
departments of the railroads to con-
fine their notices and advertising
matter almost entirely to the agri-
cultural possibilities of North
Dakota, and especially to that
portion OF it lying in the Red River
Valley, attending to that section
much oftener and in way to lead
the reader to think it much more
desirable as a field for investment
than that portion of the valley ly-
ing on the Minnesota side of the
Red River, which has had it's result
in raising the price OF lands on the
Dakota side of the Red River from
five to ten dollars per acre above
that OF exactly as good lands, other
wise as we'll situated, lying on the
Minnesota side. A difference, not of
values, but of prices, which we be-
lieve can be accounted for in no
other way" -.
