fixed upon as the northwestern
terminus is not known to the Times
and probably no one else. It has
been stated, however, by parties
claiming to have special knowl-
edge Of the affairs Of the Northern
Pacific company, that it has inter
ests which will attract it to Fort
Stevenson. This was the predic-
tion Of twenty years ago, and now,
while Washburn has had her am
bitions gratifed in the railway
line, the Fort Stevenson country is
still waiting.

to the name, so says the Times.
We have no sympathy for the
merchant who howls abouc hard
times and the encroachment of the
mail order house and the Hebraic
gentlemen with his auction sale
The home merchant can double dis
count either of these by getting
business if he would patronize the
advertising pages Of his home pa.
per and keep going the editors jot
presses with circulars. Quote prices
and state the nature and quality ot
your goods. The home merchant
can sell as low if not lower than
the auction man or the mail order
house. and in addition to this, he
would have the confidence of his
patrons. Just try some printers
ink in the right way and see if it
would not be a good investment
You can't expect returns from a
$500 adv. carried week in and week
out without change, nor can you
expect results from an adv. run an
occasional month. Take a moder-
ate amount of space and keep at it.

way what you've got TO sell. Fur

the way to get the business.-Ex.

Bismarck Tribune: -" Charlie
Weller has sent some specimens of
wheat and oats from his Mclean
county farm to the Tribune Office,

Editor Quinn, of the Bismarck

New York city, where he makes a
speciality Of North Dakota business
visits Washburn and writes as fol.

aristocracy begins. Officers treat
men as il they were not only of
lower military position, but almost
of different species of being. The
American soldier or sailor is not
worshiper of rank. He never feels
that obsequious admiration for his
superiors that makes it easy for the
European to accept contempt, abuse
and humiliation as a foreordained
part of life 1t is impossible for him
to establish any sort of friendship
or admiration for his officers on auy
basis approaching recognition of
equality of any sort. He does not
unders tand the relation of the private
to the officer when he enlsts, and
when he does understand what a
worm he is in the eyes of officers he
stolidly waits for his term to expire;
or, if especiall7 goaded, deserts
The theory is that the only way to
maintain discipline is for the officer
to live in an entirely different world
from that of his men. 1t is a fallac-
ious theory, as the splendid discip-
line of American industrial life
proves. Every workman considers
himself just as good imam as the
foreman or superintendent, but that
high estimate of himself does not
lead to interference with the effiic
iency of the shop. 1t ought to be
possible to establish in the army and
navy some sort of friendly human
relations between officers and men
without destroying discipline or i'm
pliring efficiency. = Minneapolis
