grand basis out in the western part oil

legislation that will render it more diff.

that the shipper ships non but his own,

In the Sunday World of Feb
ruary II, Marie St. Felix (Mrs.
Jerome M. Lynch), a novel writer
of New York, gave an illustrated
write-up of Mandan which was
quite sensational. The writer,
who secured a divorce there a few
years ago, was SO unkind to our
sister city as to 60 into an out-of-
the-way place and photograph an
old broken down machine shed
which she labels, "Main Street in
Mandan." She shows an Indian
teepee and two sqnaws and labels
them, "The 400 of Mandan." Il
is hard to understand why this
Divorce should have been so un'
fair to Editor Tuttle's town. She
speaks of Fargo as having a hotel
and proceeds to tell of the Jag
wagon plying between the Gate
Way City and Moorhead, giving q
fine picture of the wicked place or
the east side.

WOLF BOUNTY

Senator Simpson succeeded in getting
his wolf bounty bill through the senate
on Wednesday. 1t was amended and
provides for a tax of 2-tenths of a mill,
the same as the old law, which was all
that u senator could possibly get, and
he had a lively time to get that.
Senator Murphy of Grand Forks
wanted the bill indefinitely postponed, as
it imposed a heavy tax on his county and
it received no benefit.
Senator La Moure said he could not
vote for the bill.
Senator Wolbert thought the bill was
vicious legislation; Cass, his county, was
paying at the rate of 500 each for the
wolves killed there.
Senator Simpson made an earnest ap'
peal for the passage of the bill, citing the
fact that out of II counties directly in
terested in this Legislation only one wa,
asking for an appropriation.
The roll call gave the bill 20 votes and
II votes were cast against it.
Mr.. Simpson is to be congratulated.

APPARENTLY the Minneapolis
papers have favored Frank H.
Hamilton somewhat in their re-
ports of his trial. But from the
St. Paul papers the reader gets the
impression that the verdict Of
manslaughter in the first degree
was a just verdict and in accord
ance with the testimony. In
further substantiation of the jury's
verdict comes the sentence OF
seven years by the trial judge
which is taken to indicate that he
looked upon the verdict as being
a Just one.

Sheep Pay.

Forum Correspondent: fell IN with
Mr.. Wickham of Glen Ullin, state oil in
spector. and he told me of an investment
in sheep. Three years last fall he
bought as sheep at 50 each. He let
them out on shares to a mar who wanted
a start. Last fall when they divided the
flock, he had received over $1,000 as his
share for the wool, received back the AS
sheep he furnished, and besides 400, his
share of the increase. He calculated
that both himself and the young man had
gained 66 per cen each year. That, Mr..
Wickham said, was better than usual,
but 50 per cent gain was quite common.

"THE PROGRESS OF The AGE"
BY Arthur Macdonald.
1t may well be said that the marvellous
nineteenth century which has just faded
away, not as a dream, but as an unmis-
taxable reality, has been the most pro-
gressive in all history, ancient, medival,
or modern. Astounding in wonderful adj
vancements it has progressed with ir-
regular steps as the various inventions
and discoveries were introduced Slow
ly In the earlier years, but gradually in
creasing under the influences of the
forces conquered and made to serve man
until the marvels of yesterday have be-
come the customs of today.
History has been likened to a great
dissolving view. While one age is pass
ing away another is coming into promi-
nence. The services which have been
rendered by science by promoting hui
man welfare make manifest the prog
ress that has taken place. This science
has protected human life and made new
arms for the warrior; it has SPAWNED
great rivers with bridges OF form I'M
known to our fathers; it has snatched
the thunderbolt from the skies; it has
lighted the night with the srlendor of
the day; it has multiplied the powers
of the human muscles; it has enabled
man to descend to the depths Of the sea,
to soar into the air, to traverse the land
and the sea at a marvellous rate of
speed; it has extended the range of hui
man vision; it has enabled the people of
the earth to mix society and thereby
improve their intellect and it has pre-
scented us with the fact that there is
much more to be known.
A great movement of human society
has begun. Civilization has entered
upon what may be called the Industrial
Age, the age of Material Progress.
But note the influence of this Indus
trial, Age on the most progressing nation
of the world: The United States; a
leading nation among nations, reared
from group of thirteen struggling col
onies contained within narrow bounds
along the Atlantic coast, to a country
occupying over one-third of the area of
North America, represented upon both
hemispheres, and upon whose flag the
light of day never ceases to res,.--a free
country, inhabited by free people, cross
ed and recrossed by railroads., spanned
by system of wires which bind the af-
fairs of the north, south, east ana west
into one huge brain, as it We're. Signs
of progression are visible on every side,
the results of the ceaseless and urtlring
energy of the people.

"THE FUTURE OF THE ENTIRE OF

Beyond question the future of Russia
is the gravest question before the civ
ilized world today. The statesmen of
all Europe are watching her actions
and planning methods to meet her pow
err The nations of the world acknowl-
edge her strength and realize that life
or death struggle is approaching.
Since the time of Peter the Great, Rus
STA has been steadily growing in power,
wealth and territory until now she
ranks England in Importance Her do
minions equal to sixth of the total
land area of the world, yield an i'm

thirty million people, although in the
main ignorant and uncultivated, are in-
dustrious and hardy, and, finally, the
uncontrolled will of one man governs abb

her policy. TO the student of world polT
tiles the present conditions and future
prospects of Russia are full Of the grea t.
est interest and Importance.
The material affairs of the empire at
present are prosperous. The develop
ment of her vast resources has just be-
gun. She has borrowed enormously dur
ing the last fourteen years and has now
a national debt of over three billion dol
lars. On the other hand her prosperity
is shown by the fact that in these four
teen years previous loans, amounting to
over two billion dollars, have been re-
deemed. The credit of the empire is
now unlimited and her. finances in. A

CHINA AND THE CHINESE"
BY Ruth Sultzer..

In a country as secretive and resent
full of foreign visitation as China is. it
is difficult to get comprehensive view
of the country and it's inhabitants.
China is a large country, about as
large as the United States, with num-
erous population. The origin of it's peo77,
pie still remains in obscurity, but 1t is
generally believed that tribes from the
lower shore of the Caspian sea first set
tied in the northeastern provinces Of the
empire, now known as modern China.
The soil affords abundant opportuni-
ty for agriculture, being of a peculiar
kind called loess, particularly produce
tive 1t requires no fertilizer, little
preparation and yields a large crop two
or three times a year. The principal
mountains, rich in minerals, are in the
southeast In rivers and lakes China
has many advantages over the remaining
nations of the world, for the rivers are
large and navigable.
The recent war has caused much spec
ulation as to the future of China. China
is generally recognized as a power which
can hold her own in case of emergency,
but not as serious competitor in the
advance of civilization and extension Of
empire. But to thoughtful person
China possesses many possibilities. If
some men like Peter the Great, or Fred6
erick the Second. with the ability to or1
ganize, equip and lead her forces should
arise, China would undoubtedly become
one of the leading nations of the world.
While these things may never be ac1
complished, still China with her four
hundred millions of inhabitants and hes
inexhaustible resources, contains within
herself a power, which, If once aroused
and ably directed might over-run the
weaker races and sweep over the whole
of Asia.
