1t is said that James J. Hill has
made up his mind that ST. Paul
should be the center of the rice
trade in this country. Mr.. Hill is
now building two ships to carry
rice from Japan to America.
They are to be twice as large as
any vessel ahoat or the Pacific
ocean to day. Each will be able
to carry 900, 900 bushels of wheat
or 200, 900 barrels Of -four in one
trip. If each of these vessels
can take 900, 900 bushels Of wheat
to Japan on one trip, it a also
bring back to this country on one
trip 900, 900 bushels of rice. This
means that 1900 carloads of rice
will arrivein ST. Pauleach month.

Senator Dietrich. of Nebraska,
in a speech delivered in the
senate on the 18th of February,
treating of the future welfare of
the Philippine islands, succeeded
in putting in concrete form the
many and disjointed ideas which
have been fructifying in the
brains of our solons ever since
we assumed the "White man.
burden The honest seekers
for the welfare not only of the
nation as it was, but its welfare
as it is, have puzzled over this
plan and that, with nothing
tangible, and only half formed
purposes as evidence of their
intentions. 1t has remained for
a son of the West to outline a
policy which will solve the
problem of "What shall we do
with them? He points out that
we give reciprocity to foreign
countries and admit, duty free,
tropical products to the sum of
5000, 900, 900 all of which

The editor of the HERALD
ADVANCE received word from
Washington the first of the week
that he had been appointed
postmaster at Milhank and that
the senate had confirmed the
appointment. Also that the
name of the post Office had been
changed from Millbank to Mil
bank. When a postoffice was
first located at the new town of
Milbank over twenty years ago,
in the application for the estab-
lishment of an Office the name
was mlsspelled, and the new
postoffiec became placed on the
department records as Millbank,
and it has been so carried by
all the postal authorities during
the years. Frequent efforts
have been made to have the
name spelled correctly, but the
United States postal authorities
are a very conservative body
of officials, and every effor:
here to fore has resulted in
failure. The matter was placed
in the hands of representative
Burke some time ago, and he
has succeeded in getting the
department to take action upon
the matter, SO that the mans
of the town in postal documents
will hereafter be spelled correct

pleased and she packed her, trunks ana
