PROMISE OF THE GREAT NORTHWEST
Northwest On the 1ghrOad of Settled Prosperity.
According to Investment World.
Frapk Ertels Publication Tells Why the NOrthwest's
Prospects Considered Bright.
Reasons Why the American Northwest Has a
Brighter Future than Canadian Frontier.

The western states of this nation have
manifested that they can hold their
own against the competition of all
other parts of the world whatsoever.
They nave the persistence and the ia
ciities that are the necessary qualities
for the perfect development of their
best features. One of the tests that
they have undergone-the severe
drouth al the summer of l90i-was
enough TO show the world their abund-
ant claim to faith unquestioning and
earnest. Give to the people Of any
section such trial and see them come
out OF it stronger than they We're be-
fore and they have proved that they
have the right to the confidence of the
investor of every degree.
AS We have shown in previous is
sues, there is growing up in the great
west those elements of strength, such
as manufacturing and the adjustment
of the soil culture to the actual con-
ditions of climate. as will in the end
make the west it's own master-if. in
deed, it is not SO now. The obtaining
of these factors in its life means that
it cannot be robbed of possessions
that it has already secured II is able
to sustain itself by the utilization Of
its raw material into the actual prod
ucts that the people require and which
they have in the past secured from
the east 1t should be remembered
that this is a sentiment that is new;
tnat has been born of the period that
the west underwent in the past decade
and in the decadence of the boom. 1t
is the lesson that will eventually make
it great, that will give to it the perma-
nency that will result in long years of
steady growth and the accomplishment
of the great destiny for which it was
designed

At the last meeting Of the executive
board Henry I. Kent Of the leagues

towns and cities with view toward
the adoption here of such measure.

We are sending out pamphlets,
"Keep Our City Clean" They contain
the ordinances especially applicable to
sidewalks. streets and alleys. The
downcoming Of the overhanging sign
boards followed the leagues formation
as it's preliminary work. Then came
the work of home Identification by the
planting Of flowers and the training of
vines. This work Was largely encour-
aged by the Engelman Botanical club.
But the greatest work the league has
accomplished has been the awakening
of public opiaion to the need for mu-
nicipal cleanliness. Very much has
been done in the direction of securing
a better collection Of garbage. The po
lice have co-operated with the league
and the cutting of weeds on vacant lot.

before.

MAY BE STRIKE ON G. N.
Company Refses to Accede to the De-
mands Of the Men With Regard to
Double Header Train.

The question of a strike on the
Great Northern road will be settled by
vote of the trainmen. The officials
of the road have refused to accede to
the demands of the men regarding
double header trains. The road was
willing to G.ant the concessions in
wages asked by the men but refused
to be dictated to in the matter of
double-heading. According to General
Manager Ward the Great Northern Co.
does not use double-headers except in
the mountainous district of Montana,
and then only uses helpers engines
to assist the trains over the mountain
ranges. The company, he says. has
reduced the grades and increased the
motive power of their locomotives for
the sole purpose of avoiding the dOu
bic header system entirely but the
company contends there is no reason
for paying the men employed on dou-
ble-headers in Montana twice as much
as the men in Minnesota receive for
practically the same amount of work,
where trains are pulled by singIe To-
comotives This is the position of the
company Officers of the trainmen's s
organization admit that the Great
Northern has offered them all the
wage concessions demanded, but main
tain that they must receive the same
treatment on the douhle-header ques-
ton from the Great Northern as they
have from the transcontinental roads,
all of which they say have agreed to
abolish the double-header. They pay
double time to train crews on such
trains. Trainmen officials have gone
to their homes and the question of
whether or not there will be strike
has been submitted to vote of the
employees of the road Each side is
confident that the vote will sustain its
position. 1t will probably be week
or ten days befOr ethe final result is
known.

Some Garter Customs.

1t was common custom with our
forefathers to wear the garters Of q
pretty maiden either on the hat or
knee, says the New York Press. Brides
usually wore on their legs host Of
gay ribbons, to be distributed after the
marriage ceremony among the bride
grOOm's intimate friends. The piper at
the wedding dance never failed to tie
a piece OF the brides garter around the
stem OF his bagpipe. The Lombard
country girls used to wear daggers in
their garters.

fishes the following letter from A. q.
Fox: l am just in receipt of COM
munication from gentleman in Indi-
ana to whom l have submitted the
Rugby Bismarck railroad scheme and
they are SO well pleased with it that
one of them is planning to come here
and thoroughly investigate it, He will
go over the entire route from Rugby
to Bismarck and if the proposition
seems feasible one they have mon
furnish all the backing necessary to
put the road through to Bismarck
Rugby people should not delay in
getting in line and show disposition
to want the road as this line if put
through will surely mean boom to
Rugby as it will be the initial point
of the road and there would certainly
be heavy passenger traffic coming
into Rugby to start to Bismarck or the
points along the line The road does
not necessarily have to start from
Rugby 1t could start on either side
for that matter and therefore it is of
importance to your town to get the
starting point
What we should all do is to sub
scribe all we can and show that we
want the road and have it going along
as best we can before this man comes
out to make the investigation. I am
almost sure it will be a go if we can
show the proposition up to them in
good shape which we should be pre-
pared to do.
