The Board of Trade is to occupy a
very important place in the history OF
Bradford from now on. The Board,
since advertising the natural facilities
for manufacturing the town possesses,
has received many letters from bust
ness men regarding the plausibility OF
locating various industries here.
Those comprising the organization are
doing their utmost to make the beau
ties of the town and what it has to
offer, known to the people of New
England and to business men all over
the country. There is no reason in
the world why our beautiful little
town should not be one of the princi
pal summer resorts of the state, if the
people would only take the matter up
in real earnest. Heretofore the peo-
pie have set their candle under bush
ell, now the Board of Trade is trying
to place the candle in its proper place.
Instead of every one trying to blow 1t
out as they come near it, let everyone
add their money and influence to
strengthen the flame.

THERE is a great deal Of flax
seed in the hands of our farmers
this year, owing greatly to the
pecularities of the weather ex-
perienced here during the period
preceding harvest. All will find
that it will stand them in hand to
make a careful test of this as we'll
as other seed. The time and
trouble are but a small item to the
farmer during this season and a
thought as to the results obtained
three years ago by the testing Of
damp seed wheat should warn us
to be careful what kind Of seed is
planted, especially when there is
so much Of an inferior grade on
hand as at the present time.

The associate press dispatches
inform US that the most con-
sentative estimate Of the cost, to
the British government, of the
Boer war, is s5O0,OO0,O00, besides
the appalling loss Of life. That
about 100000 lives have been
lost by the famine in India, and
that fifteen dollars will feed q
Hindu an entire year. So, if
Great Britain had kept out of that
war and spent $lsO,0oO,0oo saving
the lives of her wards in India,
she would still be $4,000, 600
richer than she is, and some 49,

haps half as many Boers would
not have been killed.

and a box Of cigars were the lowest men
on the ticket, some very low indeed.

In Cavalier county 1856 male votes
we're poiled on election day, while
Trail, one of the old Red River Valley
counties, only polled 1900. Pembina
exceeded 5000 by very few votes. while
Walsh cast between 5000 and $500 and
Ramsey 1650. The total vote in 1896 in
Cavalier county was 1855. The enor-
mons increase is largely due to the recent
settlement of the southwestern part OF
the county. AS consequence the
county will during the coming session of
the legislature be divided into two
legislative districts, and in the mex,
election will elect two state senators ano
four members OF the house lower house
of representatives. Cavalier is getting
to be the great county.-Milton Globe.
