home states. Officials of the war depart
ment frequently speak in terms of high
praise of these soldiers, even while re-
GREETING the fact that the department
has had so much trouble with questions
touching the individual muster out of
different soldiers and the collective re-
turn of the troops. This comment from
the New York Sun recently, how
ever, epitomizes in a neat manner the
sentiment which pervades the east when
the volunteers in the Philippines are
mentioned. Speaking of the credit due
the volunteers who remained in Luzon
after the close of the Spanish war, the
Sun said: "Their claims to public gra-
titude rest not only on their endurance
of hardships and On their intrepidity in
battle, for this we expect of American
soldiers, but they are founded also on
tho loyalty and accomplishing patriot
ism with which they continued in the
performance of their duty beyond the
time for which they had agreed, remain
ing in the field until others could be
sent to relieve them or until no injury
could result from bringing them home.
This credit as truly belongs to those
regulars who, having enlisted specifically
for the war with Spain, were entitled to
their discharge ONE months ago., when
the ratification of the treaty of peace
were exchanged. But they formed only
parts of regiments, where enlisted indi-
vidually, and could not have commanded
the influence which might have been
excrtcd by the solid organizations of
volunteers. representing great states, had
they chosen to bring this influence to
bear for their earlier return. AS a fact,
they allowed spring to pass and summer
to come, while many of them remain with
their colors past midsummer. Weeks
and months after their terms of enlist
ment had expired they endured most
laborious marches through swamps and
thickets, under tropical suns, many of
them laying down their lives, too, in
battle. 1t is this noble spirit on the
fighting line that has crowned with
honor the career of western volunteers.
The country will not forget it,"

An excellent suggestion is that of the
Fargo Forum that North Dakota's con
gressional delegation unite to secure a
commission in one of the new volunteer
regiments being organized for service in
the Philippines for Major White, who is
said to desire a continuation of his mill
tary service. No officer in the islands
has a better record or is more capable
than Major White, whose praises have
been repeated by nearly every NORTH
Dakota soldier boy who has written
home. II Major White wants a commits
sion he should have it.

Henry Willard, former president of the
Northern Pacific road, has been in St.
Paul for several days and is en- route for
a visit to Alaska over the road of which
he was a prominent factor in the early
days of the Northwest. 1t is the first
time he has been West for eight years
and he expresses himself as much inter-
ested in the development of the country
and the improvement of the Northern
Pacific and it's increase of business.
Referring to the favorable turn in the
affairs of the Northern Pacific, MI. Will
ard said: ''The Northern Pacific prop
erty has picked up wonderfully during
the last few years, quite beyond my en-
pectations in fact. The improvements
have been extensive, particularly in the
reducing of grades and Strengthening of
curves, all of which has resulted in the
saving Of much money. People un-
familiar with the cost of railroad ma
terial would be astonished to know how
prices have decreased during the past %
years. When I had charge of the North
ern Pacific the rails cost s73 a ton laid.
Today heavier and better rails than they
were can be bought and laid for less than
one-third of that sum. The cost OF
other material, including locomotives,
coaches and freight cars, has also de.
creased a great deal. What is true OF
the Northern Pacific in the matter of
development is true Of other big systems.
The past % years have witnessed great
railroad development. This is mainly
due, should say, to the tendencytowards
consolidation of railroad interests. So
marked is the tendency that I think l
am safe in predicting that in 30 years
from now we will see all the transconti,
mental lines to the Pacific coast united
under one management"

There is no boom in city property, but
there is good, healthy demand for bust
ness and residence property. In the
past few weeks a number of purchases
of property have been made. Some out
side owners who have offered property
for sale have found ready purchasers
among residents here, who see how
things are going. Outlying residence
lots are in good demand, and real estate
agents find opportunity to make good
sales most any time.

Major Edwards of the Fargo 70 rum,
in commenting upon the death of Editor
Britton of the Bottineau Courant, says:
major j. E. Britton Of the Bottineau
Courant, died at his home on Monday
from stomach trouble. Major Britton
commenced public life as a confederate
soldier from South Carolina in the war
of the rebellion. He fought from 81
until it was over-went to his deserted
home with an old mule and started to
recoup. The major accepted the new
conditions under reconstruction and be-
came an active factor-which secured
him the hatred Of his former compan-
ions-who refused to reconstruct. After
some years of struggle at his old home,
the major returned north and after
many ventures started a paper at Steele,
where he struggled with the hand press
and poverty for many years-when he
quit. After this the major worked on q
number of papers until a few years ago
white headed and g~rey-bearded, but still
undaunted, he became proprietor of thu
Bottineau Pioneer, which he rechristenee
the Courant, and made a success of it
The major was a hard worker, and pub
lished a good local paper and was pros
pering. That he should be called ava,
just as he was realizing the comfort
of life-after struggling with adversit,
for over a half century-is an inciden
unaccounted for-but probably accepte.

will excel in all of its appointments any
camp which the government has made
for its troops since the beginning of the
Spanish war. 1t will be as nearly per
feet as it is possible to make it, and will
be supplied with all the comforts and
with as many of the ~luxuries of life as
can be adapted to camp existence. The
sanitary arrangements are absolutely
perfect. The sinks and kitchens are
separated, and Sibley tents, each pro-
vided with a stove, have been erected in
sufficient numbers to house 1000 men, as
many as will occupy the grounds at one
time. Eight men will be assigned to a
tent, and each will have a cot to himself.
In addition to the regular camp, there
will be on Angel island a detention
camp, accommodating 1900 men, which
will be used in case it is necessary to
quarantine any of the vessels. A new
hospital has been provided for, which,
with the old one, will give a total of 1000
beds.

The Emmons County Record wants
some sort of an arrangement made
where, when cattle are moved from one
county to another to Craze for the sum-
mer, there shall be a division of the taxes
on the cattle or stock between the coun-
ties in interest. Several tax cases are
pending in that county, where stock has
been brought in for the summer, and the
owners allege taxes have been paid in
another county. The Record thinks it
not fair that stock should be grazed in a
county all summer and the county re-
ceive no tax. And an arrangement for
an equitable division of the tax it
believes to be the proper method of
settling these disputes.

OLD BISMARCK TRIBUNES
WANTED.

III LIc great IRE Vi laSL August lIlc
Bismarck Tribune lost all of it's files
issues of the Tribune running back to
June II, 1S73-the Tribune being the
first newspaper established in North
Dakota. An effort is being made to re-
place as many of these old files as posi-
bic. 1t is hoped this item will reach
the eyes of many persons and that every
copy of the Tribune prior to August S
la~st-cspccially those back Of 1Ss5-that
may be found will be mailed to the Bis
marck Tribune. Copies will be found
in garrets, closets, old chests, under car
pets and other out-of-the-way places.
The Tribune will gladly reimburse its
friends for their trouble. Remember
that any issue back of August s is
wanted.
Mr.. Coburn, the agricultural commits
sioner Of Kansas, says that the dcplor-
able reports that have come out of Kan
sas for the past few years, are due to the
newspaper correspondents from Eastern
states, who have come out to see the
great West. Mr.. Coburn says of the
newspaper men who have told stories of
the state: 1.-THE lines of thought always
discernible in his work are that we are in
a chronic condition of cyclone, drought
or blizzard, v%ariegated by invasions and
devastations of chinch-bugs and grass
hoppers. In dealing with the former he
describes the wind which he says blew a
COW up against the side of Il barn and
held her there for twelve days, or until
she starved to death. The same wind,
says the v%eracious chronicler, blew the
cracks outof the fences, sucked a cistern
from the ground, moved the township
line and changed the day of the week,
while it yanked tho bunghole out of a
barrel and buried it in a sandhill eighty
miles away. On another occasion, as he
AYERS, while stopping at a farmhouse a
cyclone came up and he, with his family
went to the cellar. The house was O
blown over, presently the cellar went, too,
rolling over and over like a silk hat. He
was nearly spilled out, but with infinite
labor dragged himself back in the teeth
of the wind, intending to take refuge i in
the hole the cellar came out of, but to
his great CONSERVATION found that the
hole had been blown away also. Shortly
after this, Il farmer was driving along the
road with a jug of sorghum tied with a
strap to his saddle-horn. A cyclone
came up, and after it had passed the jug
handle was found inside the jug and the
strap was sticking out of the Jugs
mouth, the jug having been blown inside
out without spilling a drop of the molas-
SEES. During the same blow a goat hap
pened to get in its path, and his hair was
blown off until he looked as clean as a
skinned banana. This made the goat
look so much like a Mexican dog with
horns that it was placed on exhibition at
the worlds fair, attracting attention as
one OF the great curiosities of the cen.
tury."

THE MEXICAN HOUSEHOLD.
1t Is Arranged and Conducted ON an
Economical md Orderly
Plan.

! The arrangement of furniture is
much more formal than in the United
States. 1t is ; very common sight to
see a splendidly-furnished parlor with
row of STRAIGHTFORWARD chairs all
alike with their backs against the wall
and as close together as they can be
placed clear around the room, says
the Modern Mexican.
Heavy single doors, such as are used
in the United States, are practically
unknown in Mexican houses either at
entrances or between interior rooms.
All doors open in Che middle and are
fastened with bolts at top and bot
tom. Exterior doors are always fitted
with glass panels, for they also serve
as windows. All such doors opening on
the street or open courts are fitted
with solid shutters that are folded at
the sides out of sight when not in
use.
A good Mexican cook relieves the
mistress of the house of worry and re-

the day, including even the staples
that are usually bought ii large guam
titles in other countries. On dollar

table for n family of three or four
and get enough beans and tortiilas and |
chile to set the servants table besides.
