during the holidays illustrated the
maxim, "Multum 10 Parvo" By tel
ling Of the great pleasure derived IN
the giving of little things-pennies
and old clothes. as follows Much is
TO be said on the side Of pleasure In
the happiness Of working for others.
We are living in = time when q great
many people really find their pleasure
in giving pleasure to others You
give two or three coins from the cash
pocket IN Jour overcOat to 8 beggar
on the street and you get some pleas

outlay is not great You give some
old garment to somebody your size

returns in the way Of pleasure in the
happiness of others there is nothing
that compares with loose pennies aad

Beyond crop and labor troubles there
is little to say. The money market is
in easy condition, and likely to remain
SO until crop and trade requirements
begin to be felt. The demand on

liquidation has undoubtedly helped to
swell the bank reserves. There is
some talk Of gold exports, which, how
ever, cannot be very heavy with the
outward movement OF cotton and grain
close at hand. We are already ship
ping heavy quantities of wheat to meet
foreign requiremnts. Gold from the
Klondike has been coming in consid-
cradle quantities, and the African
mines will soon be resuming opera
tions on scale of increasing conse-
quence. There is no reason for anx-
iety concerning the future. The mar
ket is resting from period Of exces-
sive speculation, and prices are settling

old Daniel Boone hung up his Kentucky
rife, Joe Dietrich hunted deer, elk and
antelope on both sides OF the Missouri
in what is now Mercer, Oliver and Nc
Lean counties. They contracted to
supply the commissary of Forts Stew
enson and Rice with all the wild meat
needed for the soldiers and fulfilled
every obligation to the satisfaction of
the military lords of those days-and
they were not SO easy to be pleased.

I'VE will build a leg to the elevator
at Washburn, and the grain can be
elevated from barges directly to the
elevator, so that much of the grain will
be handled in bulk, saving the expense
of sacking. We expect to have the
railroad completed to Washburn by
September 10 and will be running
trains through shortly after that date.
From our Investigations of the coun-
try north we are satisfied that our road
will handle 100000 to 100000 bushels
of grain this fall. OF this perhaps
225, 900 bushels will come from west
of the river and the balance from the
east side. The grain all through the
country looks fine. Possibly third
of it is cut. No threshing has been
done yet. Everybody is at work in
Tie harvest fields. The farmers all
through the country seem willing and
anxious to cooperate with us in the
work Of establishing markets and
opening UP the country to better and
more extensive farming

find that nearly all the farmers in the
country have 20 to 800 head of cattle.
We figure that 1,5OO to 1000 head of
cattle will be shipped out of the coun-
try tributary to our road by the farm
ers alone. Sailer and Bohrer at Mann
haven, of the Mannhaven Mercantile
and Transportation company are hust-
lers and are making Mannhaven a
lively place. They will cooperate
with us, and will be valuable assist
ants. Good, thrifty farms are seen
all through Mercer and Oliver coun-
ties. Farmers up that way are the
right sort. They are hard workers
and make the most of their opportun.

BOOMS NORTH DAKOTA.
NORTH DAKOTA COMMISSION AT
BUFFALO DOING GOOD WORK
FOR NORTH DAKOTA. .,.A

BUFFALO, DO1NG OOttD WORK
FOR NORTH DAKOTA. .,.'
The Buffalo, N. Y, Courier, contains
the statement that several young men
of that city have left positions there to
come to North Dakota to work in the
harvest fields, and following this is an
interview with w. F. Cushing, who
says:
Harvest hands are SO scarce out
there that the farmers don't know
what to do to get in their crops, and
had no trouble getting them place in
Cass county, where they can work dur
ing the harvest season for 50. so day
and board. After that they will get
a chance at fall plowing, for which
they will be paid from ST.. .75 to s. a
day, and it will be easier than any
plowing they have been used to here
for it will be. riding on sulky plow.
They will get anyhow three months
steady work and possibly four. Dur
ing that time they can look around and
probably get jobs in stores in the win
ter.
Next spring, if they have been saw
ing, they will be in shape to take up
some land, and in five years they will
have better farms and several times
the size of those their fathers have
been working years acquiring back
east. There are millions of acres of
government lands which can be home
steaded in the north and northwestern
parts of the state. Ward county alone
has nearly 100000 acres of open land.
II know personally of hundreds OF
cases of men who have come in there
without a dollar and now own big
farms and are we'll fixed. There was
one man in here just the other day
that 1 saw for the first time seventeen
years ago.. He came to my lumber
yard and showed me $40, all the
money he had in the world, paid me
$40 down and gave him credit on the
rest for enough lumber to build his
first shack. he now owns big farm
near Valley City, takes life easy and
goes either 10 the south or California
in the winter.
when he was in here we recalled
the incident of our first meeting, and
I asked him how much he considered
himself worth now. He said that he
and his wife were figuring up last win
ter and they made him worth $4,000.
Hundreds of Germans have come
into that country with hardly a dol
lar, and with their families and their
stock in the same box-car. The man
would take up claim and perhaps
break ten or fifteen acres of it the first
year, and work out with his team dur
ing harvest and plowing time for
others. Then next spring he'd break
as much more and seed it, but he'd still
have time to do some work for others
and get money to help him through
the winter. The next year he'd have
all he could attend to at home, and all
those who have stuck to it are well
fixed and many of them are rich now"
