The Shells bill for the regu-
lation Of the sales Of liquor by
druggists has been signed by
thegovernor aud will 60 into ef-
fectat once. It is claimed that
the bill win be likely to put some
druggistssin the state out Of busi-
ness, where drug Establishments
are maintained largely for the
sale of liquor, as is the case in
some parts of the state. The
Shells bill has an emergency
clause SO that it viii take effect
as soon as it is signed by the
governors It requires the sigma
lures Of eighty per cent. Of the
free holders and seventy per
cent. Of the women in the town
or village or ward OF the city in
which the drug store is maintain
ed to obtain q liquor permit. The
present law requires the sigma
lures Of twenty-five free holders
and twenty-five women to obtain
q permit: In some parts of the
state the provision requiring this
large percentage of signatuv es
win make the law practically pro-
hibitory. The afddavits have
been changed so that the ap-
plicants for liquor must give
their residence and street
number if in a city and the quar-
ter section, township and range
if in the country. This pro-
vision is to prevent the sale of
liquor to "dum mics" as is COM
planned Of in some cases. And to
cap the climax, the amount of
liquor that may be sold TO any
one person in twenty-four hours
is limited to a half a pint.
In addition to this law, the
legislature passed q law author
izing the pay ment of a reward Of
$50 to any person furnishing in
formation that will lead to the
conviction of a blind pigger or
person violating the prohibition
law. AS this law will probably
encourage the presence of q large
number Of '.spotters, . persons
violating the law will have to be
exceedingly wary if they escape
the tolls Of spoilers and private
detectives.

RACING CIRCUIT.
Secretary Brown of the
Fair Association Working
up a Racing Circuit.

J. N. Brown last week visited
Hope and other places in the in.
terests Of q racing circuit and
the prospects are good for a
favorable wind-up of negotia-
tions. We clip the following
from the Fargo Call:
It is up to Fargoto say whether
she will or will not be in a racing
circuit this season. That the
spirit of the true sportsman is
rampant in the city goes without
saying. Whether she will step
to the front and assert her posi-
lion, is at question. That the
northern portion of the state has
lined up for series of meetings
is t matter Of record. There is
plenty of room in the southern
portion for a fine series of meet
ing without interference. In con-
sonance with this spirit j. N.
Brown of Cooperstown and A. j.
King of Hope are in the city, as
representatives of their town to
see what can be done in the mat
ter of forming a circuit. After
consultation with local horsemen
the gentlemen express the
opining that the outlook is the
best.
The proposition, as expressed
by them, is to organize a circuit
to include Cooperstown, Hope,
Page, Buffalo, Fargo, Mayville,
Portland and possibly Browns
Valley and Sisseton.
Certainly Fargo horsemen will
be in line with the proposition
and do their portion toward the

A GOOD SHOWING.

March Goth marks the close of the
first years business of the Iowa-North
Dakota Land Co., in Cooperstown.
The COURIER editor has cleaned the
following facts from the members Of
the firm which shows up what rust
ling and 'get there" qualities will do.
The business transacted by this firm
for the first year is certainly very
gratifying to them. Their books show
that they have sold 1880 acres,
amounting, at the price sold at, to
$A5, ,280.OO or an average price Of
sl9.4 per acre. OF this amount
s83,972.0O was paid in cash when the
deal was made and the balance divided
upinto yearly payments and mortgages
assumed. Most Of this land was sold
in the spring with another payment
due in the fall 50 that the amount Of
money brought in from the outside is
considerable more than the amount of
the first payments. The lowest price
per acre was $3.50 and the highest OBJ
tained was S31. so for NJ. F. Washburn s
farm mile and a half east of town.
From present indications and the
number of inquiries received almost
daily, now at the opening of the sea-
son, they think there will be consider
able business done this summer.
There are few things not quite as
favorable as they might be such as the
great rush to Canada and the high
rate Of interest asked here by the
seller. The latter is the worst enemy
we have to contend with and we
think it about time some Of the land
owners are awaktng to the fact that
they are standing in their own light
and holding back the country by ask
ing high rate of interest. AS long
as land can be bought for lees than it
is really worth the eastern speculator
will not kick on paying two or three
rates, but when it gets up to what it
is worth or about that it drives them
to other localities. A lower rate of
interest and optional payments on
mortgages is the crying need of this
country.

Senator Money roasts Presi-
dent Roosevelt and says that the
south hates him. The hatred OF
the south is more than Offset by
the admiration of the north, east
and west, and the fiery southern
senator will find it out next year.
Mr.. Roosevelt has the courage Of
his convictions and does not
cater to these southern fire eat

fearless and independent manner
that appeals to all classes OF
American citizens who love JUS

The proposed electric light
franchise published IN the papers
last week seems to be a very fair
proposition. There are q few
slight changes to be suggested,
one of the mostimportant ofwhich
is fixing the price as to watts. 2Oc
per 1000 watts is considered too
high, q majority claiming that Is
to Ice being sufficient. However
this matter could be remedied.
The fat rate of SOC per month
for 16 candle power lights is con-
sidered very fair. The company
desiring the franchise has plenty
Of capital and compose some of
the oldestand most reliable citi
zens Of the state. They expect
to start in with a $15, 600 plant at
this place if granted a franchise.
The town has nothing to lose nor
does it have to use a single light

any citizen and the company is
willing to put it's money in here

This. is the way the Fargo
Forum see it: Woman's suffrage
seems to have proven decidedly
beneficial in educational matters
in North Dakota. It is right
that the ladies should have some
say in school matters since
education is so closely connected
with the home and with society.
The same holds true in regard
to the matter of the prohibition
Of the liquor traffic. It's as i'm
portant in connection with the
home life and society as the mat
ter of education and it is fully as
important to the fair sex. The
ladies should be permitted to
vote in the final settling of the
liquor problem. They are more
vitally interested than the men.

An exchange knew what it was
writing about when it published
the following: The trade terri.
tory of q town is not at all de.
pendent upon the distance to
neighboring trading point. The
territory depends upon the en-
terprise of the merchants and
the residents of the town. If q
town does not reach out after the
trade it will only come as fast as
lit has to and the town will only
grow as it is forced to. But il
the merchants go after the busi.
ness in the surrounding country,
advertise in every possible way,
and make good every word OF
their advertising, the trade will
come from ever increasing
radius and the town will gain q
reputation for being awake and
it will forge to the front. It is
the men in the town and not al
together the men living within 8
certain number of miles from
town that are good or good TO,

An effort was made to induce
the North Dakota legislature to
adopt a primary election law
similar to that. in Minnesota
The opponents claimed that the
sold political system cannot be
easily improved upon until the
average man is persuaded tt
take a great deal more interesI
in things remote from his daily
life than he does now." If tn,
opponents of the primary election
law really desires to bring abou
that result they would have fav
ored the Minnesota primary
election plan, because it has beer
demonstrated in this state tina
it tends to persuade men to take
a great deal more interest il
things remote from their daily
life than they have taken hereto
fore. Up to date the larges1
benefit derived from the direct
nominating system in this state
is the larger interest in politics
which it has undoubtedly de
veloped among average men. -

NEWSPAPER PROVERBS.
Wisdom Drawn From Twenty Yea4F' Tx
perience In the Business,


s. w. Gillian, the funny man Of the
Baltimore American and secretary of
the recently osganized Association Of
Newspaper Versifers and Humorists,
has coined the following proverbs out
of twenty years experience:
The chap who tries hardest to work
n newspaper for special favors is the
one who never spends u cent with it
and is not even subscriber
The one who demands the highest
excellence in typography, subject mat
ter and quantity of contents does the
least to help the cause along.
The man who kicks most about the
inaccuracy of newspapers in general is
the one who does least to assist in get
ting the facts accurately when lie has
an opportunity to do SO.
The man who has it in for the news
papers in general has had the bitter
truth told about him once by some nm
usually AAHhA lCIbIbNA dll1 AiuS y biB
sore spot
The man who brings in the longest
obituary of the late deceased was not
model husband always.
The woman who declares it's none of
the public's business and she won't
talk, So there, always winds up by
giving the reporter rafting good
story so fast that he can't take it down
in shorthand.
The man who begs that his name be
left out of the list of drunks for fear it
wlll hurt his mothers feelings never
considered that good lady's sensibilities
before in his life.
The men who spend the most money
with the paper kick the least.
If You expect man To find compli-
ment about himself, you must put it on

If you put in one line roast in non
