BEVERlDGE'S IMPRESSIONS OF
TIE PHILIPPINES.

The resolution which Senator Bever-
idgc of Indiana has introduced in his
chamber in favor of the retention of
the Philippines Ivy the American gov
eminent will attract attention all over
the country. The speech which he
made Tuesday in favor of the rcsolu-
ton will be read by a very large pro-
portion of mis- cOunlrymen. Hevcriuge
is me only member of either branch of
congress who has studied the Philip
pine question on the ground, says the
ST. Louis Globe Democrat. Many at

three months since his return from the
islands by newspapers TO get Il full eN-
preston of his views on the Philippine
question. but without avail.
PROFESSIONALLY the views of the III
diana senator. as set forth in his speech
in the senate. will have Il good deal
of influence on the country. 1t is said
that before going to the islands he was

long enough to enable him TO get into

made good use of his time. The
speech he made is the fruit Of careful
preparation us well as of close study

The activity of the demand for real
estate in the Red river valley is char
acteristic of the whole state. There
was never before in North Dakota SO
healthy demand for farm lands as
there is at present. Sales by railroad
companies and by local agents of land
companies in different towns have
been heavier the past year or two than
EVER before. There was Il time when
land in North Dakota was held at little
value because the amount Of unoccu-
pied was large enough to afford homes
for all. But this condition is chang
ing. With thousands OF settlers filing
on homesteads every year, and with
extensive land companies buying up
land by the hundreds of thousands of
acres, ii is seen that the public domain
is being rapidly assimilated to private
ownership. y letter to the Tribune
from a South Dakota farmer inquiries
for an opportunity to purchase four
farms adjoining i'll Burleigh county
for that number of families who want
to settle here and raise stock. The
Iowa land seekers who have been look
ing over the country during the past
summer have bought thousands OF
acres of farm lands. With the grad.
ual withdrawal of opportunity to 10.
cate free homes IN government land
the value of individual land holdings
will increase. In the case Of severa
counties in the Bismarck land district
where Il Jew years ago there were
thousands of acres of unoccupied' gov
eminent land, today there is little de
sirable government land left. the intiu,
of settlement being so great that TIN
government land has been nearly al
hOmesteaded.

a correspondent Of the jamestown
Capital has the following to say Of the
advantages of Il competitive line of
road-which is equally rue Of Bis
marck and should be noted carefully:
AS soon as Il competitive road comes
in here our town will begin to grow
in size and in population. New build
ings will go up all over the city.
Wholesale houses and factories will
locate here, new enterprises will spring
up, unrentable property will be sought
after, real estate will enhance in value,
u population will probably double
itself in five or six years, and the town
will furnish a much better market fol-

Not long ago Il Burleigh county
farmer rented his farm and started
for Puerto Principe, in Cuba, where a
large number of Americans have be-
come Interested through the represent
tltiOns Of Il New York colonization
company. Now comes a report from
that place of great distress existing
among the colonists and the inability
OF some of them to pay their way
back to the United States, as they
would be only too glad to do if it were
possible. All of which goes to prove
that North Dakota is an excellent place
for farmers to remain. when they have
SO far prospered here as to be able to
close out to good advantage and seek
homes in Il new land.

1t is stated by some individuals that
Il railroad' opening up new country
and starting small towns, draws trade
from larger towns to their injury. It
is interesting in this connection to note
what President Campbell of the ALI
ance Hail Association says regarding
this:
The predictions were made when the
500 first entered Valley City that the
small towns which would be started
would draw trade from Valley City,
but the contrary is now the case.
The is not Il day but what people
from Courtcnay, Wimbledon. Kensal
II other 500 towns come to Valley
City to trade and visit. They spend
money there. The road has been n
great help to the city.

There is no person ON earth who can
stand more relaxation than the editor.
If he could get it. There is no one
who could recline more gracefully in Il

trees, OF any other of the hammock

could stand more relaxation than per-
haps any other individual of whom we

But lie must put away his inclination
TO relax sobcrly and manfully. 1t is
not for him. at least in this world.
But far across the hills that hide the

town doubles her population then the
farmers will have Il market for twice
as much potatoes, eggs, butter, poul-
try. milk, cheese, mutton, veal, pork,
beef, oats, hay, etc, as is now sold in
the town. Let Il competitive road
come into jamestown and let the town
double her population and this will
:luu five or six dollars in value to every
acre OF land within ten miles of our
city. Even the n. p. lands will go up
in value. There is no doubt of it that
there will be Il good opening here for a
llnseed oil mill, a wooden mill. and Il
flax fiber factory. as soon us James,
town can get Wholesale rates in
freights.
In 1850 jamestown had IL population
OF 2,4OO, and in 1900 her population is
estimated at 3,O00-a growth of only
600 in fifteen years. This slow growth
could not have been possible if James,
town had had Il competitive railroad
during the past fifteen years. Enter
prising business men have more con-
fluence in a town and are more willing
to invest their money where Il town
has competitive rates in freights.
Some one suggests that it would be a
sensible thing for our citizens to raise
the money to pay off the 81. 800 debt on
the fair grounds. and then donate the
whole plot Of ground to the 500 road
for Il depot, site, shops and round
house. Whatever is done we ought
all to 'pull together unanimously,
and when the road is once secured this
town will fall into line with the pro-
gressive cities of North Dakota.

that have been brought heretofore ut

packages OF goods to quench the thirst
OF all the thirsty who apply and pay

station agent until called for. The
officers of the league claim that the
railroad agent by so doing becomes
the agent of the liquor dealer, in viola

ing on politics. which was adopted yes
terday. The measure as recommends

when changing their scale of prices.
and that before any change in scale is
adopted, it should be submitted to all
publishers who are interested. Also
that the International Typographical
Union, when requested, shal allow II

heard on important changes in the laws
affecting their interests.
