Mandan Pioneer: Did the reader
ever think that such high prices as
now prevail for beef and mutton mean
an enhanced value for all lands that
grow grass Or other food for cattle and
sheepl a spear Of grass Is worth more
when it goes to fatten q steer that ID
worth 7c. y pound in the market than
when fed to steer that will bring
only half that much. Real estate 10
the Dakotas has enla1ced IN price;
but this enhancement has q sure and
solid Foundation for its existeaGe,
partly In the greater value Of the beef
and mutton that are produced here.
All authorities agree that there Is no
section Of the country better adapted
TO the production Of prime beef than
North Dakota. Hence, we see one
cogent reason for the greater value OF
our lands. The meat-eaters ID the
eastern part OF this country MAY MOURN
at the greater prices charget BY the
butchers with whom they do business,

SATURDAY, DECEMBER IL. 1902

1t is generally considered to be the
proper thing to speak we'll of the
dead. but Mrs. Carrie Nation seems
rot 10 believe that way and she is con-
stantly saying something defamatory
of our late president, Mckinley. In a
speech IN Sioux City, Iowa, Tuesday,
she denounced Mckinley in the most
sianderous words, declaring he put
less brains into his work than any 9TH
CT president, and called him 'the
brewers president" Don't defame
cur beloved president" man In the
audience shouted. "He is no beloved
president of mine." Mrs. Nation re-
torted. and then proceeded to abuse
McKinley's, memory the more. The
crowd rose enmasse and would have
dragged her from the pulpit but for
the protection accorded to her by the
officers Of the church in which she was
speaking Mrs. Nation has been ma
king a general nuisance of herself long
enough and It's time she was
squelched.
