OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY AND
THE CITY OF DEVILS LAKE.
FRIDAY, NOV. - 1908.

Fargo is making a creditabIe effort
to rid itself of women of the town
who ply their nefareous trade in the
respectable portions of the city. But
the newspapers of that city like those
Of all the cities where those bells of
vice flourish, give a daily rehash of
the doings in.police court IF the peo-
pie who are -apprehended in their de-
baucheri es. It is a question if this
does not do-far more harm than good.
The woman's name and her residence
ale given, and a file of the papers in
many cities thus become directories
of the places of debauchery. Decent
people can have no interest in the
conduct of these depraved wretches,
and the stories which are placed in
the homes where live innocent boys
and girls, only tend to arouse the
curiosity and en1ame the passions Of
those young people, thus giving them
their first thirst for the knowledge of
the earthly bells and the wretches who
make them. Better far fill the
columns of the paper with matters of
interest or if-such stuff must be used,
let it be so used so that it will disgust
rather than please.

decided to use a small profit plan
this year, not selling at cost or below

customers the advantage of what
would be a good share Of the profits
in other years He figures that the

In the April number of Opportu-
nity, Senator Hansbrough had the
following article, which is doubly
interesting in view of recent irriga-
ton agitation.
Irrigation will play q great part in
settling the west and will bring much
Of it's waste lands and all of it's waste
water into use.
Under the national irrigetion law,
enacted just a year ago I believe that
fully 60, 600, 900 acres or about 10 per
cent of the present public domains
area will be reclaimed; but it will
require at least forty years time in
which to do it. This means homes
for about 1900, 900 of people on the
farms and half as many more in the
cities, villages and hamlets. During
the same time private enterprise will
reclaim 40, 900, 900 acres, which would
afford homes and employment for an
additional Q, 600, 900, Of people; or 100,
600, 600 acres of reclamation and 81
900, 600 Of population in something
less than half a century.
It is difficult to estimate the value
of thissnew real property. with its
persona.ty but it cannot be an exag-

geraticn to say that it would amount
to at least s., 900, 900, coo. The work
thus far under the new~law has been
wholly of a preliminary nature. 1t
is expected that the secretary of the
interior will soon the loca-
ton and character Of the first enter
orise to be entered upon. This az
nouncement will be in the nature Of
a PROCLAMATION Withdrawing from en-
try the lands to be irrigated, that is,
withdrawing them from entry under
any Of the land laws except the irri-
cation act. Under this act the entry
man must have all the qualifications
of q homesteader and among other
things must contract to Fay, in not
les than ten installments his pro
rata share # the works by which he
is to be supplied with water. He
must also live upon and cultivate the
land. The law is Thoroughly safe
guarded so as to prevent speculation.
In framing their constitutions
nearly all the western states inserted
the most stringent provisions as res
poets the control of streams, and no.
body expects the secretary Of the in
terror to have ar asy time adjusting
disputes that must necessarily ARISE.
Undoubtedly the federal supreme
court must pass upon many Of the
controversies before orderly progress
is assured. No doubt if some of the
states were to make their organic
laws they would be much more liberal
Indeed here is reason to believe that
several of the states in order to get
the full benefit of national irrigation
will amend their constitutions so as
to give the federal government the
right without question to reclaim it's
public lands with the normal waters
as we'll as the food water of streams
now assumed to be wholly within the
control of the state. Federal au-
thority must be .unquestioned and un-
molested if it is to do the werk in a
manner to bring the most good to the
state itself. Under the law all irri.
cation work are in time to be turned
over to the people. Thus will wealth
be added to the state and the newly
created property pas: eventually un-
der the complete control of the state.

FAMOUS
ARTISTS

1t is an i'll wind that blows nobody
good. One of the greatest concert
companies touring this country is that
of James n. Morrison, Jr., who is
presenting Signora Eleattra Armista,
,contralto of Italian opera, and former.
ly Of French grand opera, signor Ro-
berti Sansone, the celebrated 'cellist
of Naples, and Signor S. R. Valenza,
royal harpist.
When this company reached Chi
cago some days ago Mr.. Morrison
found that by mistake he had been
thrown out of a six weeks booking,
and upon receipt of this information
from his eastern representative, the
manager of the Flax Belt circuit of
theatres de .ided to give the people Of
the northwest an opportunity to hear
these, world famous artists and and AS
they were going to the coast he has ar
ranged with them to play six nights
on the circuit. One of these is Devils
Lake and the date is Monday evening
November %. This company plays
only in the larger cities. Of their
appearance at the Auditorium, tie
largest theatre in that city, the
Chicago Tribune says:
"The concert recital given at the
Auditorium Theatre last evening was
a splendid success financially and
artistically. Signora Armista pos
~sesses a voice which is truly Italian,
having the full round tone. The harp
numbers by Signor Valenza introduced
Is Chicago the greatest harpest who
has ever visited here His playing
is marked by warmth and exquisite
phrasing. The young Italian 'cellist,
Roberti Sansone, has come and gone,
but in the coming he conquered
Chicago music lovers"

President Roosevelt is a practical
man as well as. a statesman. His re-
sidence' on the plains, gave him a
thorough understanding IF the needs
of many parts of the country that
none of his predecessors have had.
He looks at things from the practical
side, and by SO doing, saw that in the
heal future the teeming millions who
are not only swarming in the great
manufacturing and mining centers in
this country, but in other parts of the
world, must be fed upon bread grown
in the great west. He saw, too, that
the arid section possessed the vege.
table producing element that would
make them as profitable for farming
purposes as the we'll watered plain,
could the substance be acted upon bv
water. He therefore, became deeply
interested in the subject Of irrigation.
The Hansbrough bill which was the
first practical irrigation legislation
of a national character, received the
enthusiastic support Of Mr.. r >osevelt
and the following telegram sent to the
executive committee of the irrigation
congress in session at Fargo shows
how -e regards tie irrigation law:
I congratulate the irrigation. con-
gress of North Dakota. There is
no measure with whi:h Inv admins
tration. has been connected that / o.

beneficial impoltan % than the law it,

tional government on irrigation

no cause worthy of hearty sup.
port.-Theodore Roosevelt.
To many of tn >se who have filled
the chair Of chief magistrate have
turned to books and archives and pre-,
cedents for tie guiding star of their
administration. Roosevelt turns tx
the good that will come to the people
from-a law that looks not to CLASSIC
craftsmanship. for the one thing tina
shall make his administration grea
and finds it in the irrigation law
A strong endorsement indeed.

It is reported that Senator Morgan
will introduce a resolution in the
senate calling for all the information
possessed by the de artments of the
government relative to the action of
the government in the recent Panama
matter. Senator Morgan is being
backed by the Democratic party and.
the movement is politically dishonest.
The Democrats do not want the infor-
nation for the purpose of making any
improvements in the course pursued
by the government, but only hope to
pick a few flaws in the governments
plans and attempt to make political
capital out Of them. Senator Morgan
has become n sided in his views on
the canal business. For years he
was the father of the Legislation seek
ing to build the Nicarauguan canal.
This was his hobby He talked 1t
whenever the senator gave him the
opportunity 1t. was the dream of
bis life that this one piec. of legisla-
tion should Dear his name. How bit
terly he was disappointed when in a
few months it was shown that the
Nicaragua route was impractical and
the attention of the people turned. with
one accord to the new Panama route,
no one possibly will ever know. But
Senator Morgan from that time, was
a disappointed man, and his colleagues
are now uisng him az the cats paw to
pull the chesnuts from the fire. Out
of his disappointment has come a de
sire to be in a sense vindictive. HI
will attempt to make the people Of
the nation believe that there is cor.
ruption and chicanery in the course
pursued by the government in recog
nizing the government of Panama
Nor will he be alone. Every Demo
GRAFT in congress will lend his aid
and every Democratic paper in th'
country will take up the cry. TIL
Democratic party has been havin,
Investigations made ever since it ha
had all existance. Nothing has eve
come of them. Tney have proven
} fruitless in every instance, and viii
prove doubly 50 in this one. But tn
people need to be on guard less the
be caught by the catch penn,
Il methods of the Democrats. TIL
whole trouble which has caused tn
!, Morgan resolution is the opposition Q
the Democrats to the construction o
the Panama canal, and the reason fo
!, this opposition is the fact that 1t wa
: the work of Republicans. The Unite
!, States never did a better thing in
small way than when they recognized
the de facto government Of Panama
!, it provided a means for the construc
, ton of the Panama canal. 1t is
matter in which the business inter
i, ests of the whole country are concern
ed, and the puny cryeof the Dem
%ocratic opposition will be lost in tn
plandits Of approval of the vast ma
jo:ity Of the people.

"This. city is doing a lot Of dig.

other day as he watched the construc-
tion of the Second street sewer.
Yes the city has done a lot of sewer
work along with the other improve
ments. But people who live in
cities cannot expect to have the same
freedom from disease they have in the
country u less there is some means of
earring nway the sewer matter 60
that it will not come in contact with

drink water-and the air We breath.

~ PERSONS AND THINGS ~
As Seen by Gath

Is We struck a Canadian land boomer
the other day. He was like all the
ether specimens Of his kind, enthu.
siastic about the land he was hand
ling. Well, he was a pretty good
sort of a fellow. He had the facts
to convince and never lacked for an
argument. Sifted out he said the ad-
vantages in Alberta now are what
they were here ten years ago. That's
tt Q truth, or &C cal that element as
a real estate man or newspaper man
can approach. 1t is the pioneer days
and the young man who has the nerve
to take Horace. Greeley's advice and
goes west to grow up with the country
will be the ones who will become the
bankers ard other a%ristocrats of the
new country. That country is bed
rock now nd Of course will have all
the early advantages of a new country.
Bat SIN thi ngs improve with age.
II have lived in North Dakota
eleven years ard I want to tell you
said a farmer as he drew
a book from his vest pocket. "Here
is a little table I have prepared from
my farm books-I keep a set just like a
merchant. The drouth hit me hard
this year, and my crops were hardly
worth cutting. But on the Who'll. I
am not much discouraged. In the
eleven years my average wheat yield
has been thi.teen and one half bushels
and flax ten and nearly a fourth. l
do not expect great crops every year,
but when ! can average up so as to
make five or six dollars per acre clear
above my living, I am satisfied,
especially so when I have four or five
months each year to spend in recrea-
tion and reading" Then he began
telling about the books he not only
owned but read, and--well that man
was a book worm. His mind was
stored with the thoughts Of the best
authors, and from ancient and modern
literature he could draw some classic
thoughts that would put the average
editor to shame. That man was a
happy farmer.
