This has been one of the best
years in North Dakota for a very
long time in the building industry.
From every portion of the state
comes reports of extensive improve
ments, substantial evidence of the
happy and hopeful condition of the
people. Not only the cities and
villages has there been a remarka-
able building boom, both Of bust
ness blocks and residences, but
there have been erected during the
year an increased number of mod
ern farm residences. The more
substantial character of the edi-
fees mark the permanence of the
prosperity which has been accum-
ulating during the past decade. In
no state of the union has greater
progress been made in the pay
ment of mortgages than in North
Dakota and the deposits in national
and state banks indicate the fnan-
cial status. The building move
ment shows that the people are
using their added wealth to build
more comfortable homes. They
couldn't appropriate it for a better
purpose.-Forum.

It takes something more than a
book agent to do job work, and some
thing more than a few old cuts to
prove that the Miner does job work in
Mclean county, and does not send
it out of the county. The Miners
cuts do not prove anything more than
did that cut of Heart river, in Morton
county, published as a Mclean county
farm scene. Wonder If the Miner man
got the cuts he published last week
from Morton county. That cut Of the
Miner Office, possibly, that was sent
over from Morton county also. The
fact that the Miner has a few oil
presses, a composing stick and some
stock cuts does not prove that it does
job work, for which it takes local mon
ey, when it can get any, and sends I
outside of the county.

Among the invited guests at the
recent Old Timers celebration was
Judge Winchester Of this district, who
was here twenty years ago when the
county was organized. Judge Win
chester paid the county a high CON-
pliment, in speaking Of it as an or
derby community, and he also COM
plimented many old timers, who had
helped to upbuild 1t. The calibre of
the Miner man is evident by the in
suit he offered an invited guest OF
the city. His criticisms were a breach
of every courtesy Of hospitality. The

Washburn show what they think O.

and stands high wherever known.

BUSINESS MEN TAKE ACTION.

A meeting of the citizens of
Washburn was held at the Court
House on the evening of Nov. 9th,
for the purpose of considering an
article that appeared in the Nc
Lean county Miner, Nov. 9Th, 1908,
casting reflections on Hon. Judge
Winchester.
The meeting was called to order
by Geo. P. Gibson. Motion was
made and seconded that Frank
Thompson be appointed chairman.
On motion n. G. Olson was elected
secretary.
After a few remarks made by the
Messrs. Gibson, VAIL, Wallin, Best,
Ranard, Holtan and Patterson, a
motion was made and seconded that
the chairman appoint a committee
Of seven to draw up a set of reso-
lutions regarding the article pub
lished in the Mclean county Miner
criticizing Hon. Judge Winches-
ter's speech on Old Settlers Day.
The motion was carried.
The chairman appointed the fol-
lowing committee:-Geo. P. Glib
son, Martin Holtan, G. NJ. Best,
L. M. Wallin, Ed. Charlebois, j. M.
Patterson and F. j. Thompson.
The following resolutions were
drawn and adopted by the meeting:
WHEREAs:-There was an article
published in the Mclean county
Miner issued on the 9Th day of No
vember, 1903, criticising the speech
made by the Hon. Judge Winches-
ter on Nov. 8, 1908 during the Old
Settlers Reunion at Washburn,
N. d., and referring to the remarks
at that time as being "disgusting,"
and unworthy the utterance of a
man holding the official position
occupied by him.
REsoLvED:-That we, as citizens
of the village of Washburn, and
Mclean county in meeting assem-
bled this 9th day Of November,
1908, and who were present and
heard, and are acquainted with the
remarks made by the Hon. Judge
Winchester, express, and show our
strongest disapproval of such state
ments made in the paper, for the
reason that the same is false and
untrue.

PARKER'S BOON.
He Seems to Be Favorite Democrat
ic Candidate for President.

Philadelphia, Jan. 26-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Ledger says.
The Alton 3. Parker boom for presi-
dent IS growing with great rapidity
Most of the Democratic statesmen who
have been interviewed recently about
the party's candidate in 1904 have come
out for Parker. This is merely the out
ward manifestation of a sentiment
which, according to all reports. seems to
have gained complete possession of the
south.
Prior to the New York state conven-
ton, nine out of every ten Democrats
IN the senate and house expected that
Parker would be nominated and elected
governor. and under this impression
they sowed the seeds of a presidential
boom in their home districts. Parker
was not nominated. but the seed had
been so effectively soWn that the south
had come to regard Parker as the can
dldate for president, and his failure to
be chosen governor had not the slight
est ERECT in checking the boom. In
stead, 1t added strength to it. for the
Parker boomers are saying that if Par
ker had been nominated he would have
4 been elected.
4 The Parker sentiment is found even
among active Bryan men, The latest
Of these to come out for Parker is Sen
4 ator Carmack of Tennessee. He says:
Judge Parker would make a most
excellent candidate. have heard 4
great deal of Judge Parker, and
York Democrats are frequent and lib
eral in their encomiums of him as &
leader. There may be reasons why he
should not be nominated, but 1 have
not heard any of them
Certainly no objection could be
made to his nomination by Mr.. Bryan
or any Of the latter's followers. I
has been argued in this connection tina
perhaps Judge Parker's record upoI
the financial question might initiate
against his desirability as a candidate
cannot see it in that light. AS a mat
ter of fact, the money question, in M
Judgment, is not to cut much of a fig
ure during the next campaign.
There has been a great deal of tall
about nominating ex-senator Hill. Sen
ator German and ex-Secretary of Stat
Olney of Massa chusetts. Each of thes
gentlemen would, no doubt. make al
excellent president but I do not thinl
that any one of them is available as
candidate. In order to win we mus
select a man from the state of New
orl. Therefore, I am favorabIy in
clined to the reported candidacy o
Judge Parker. The probabiht is h
could carry New York state"
