A great many of the Northern and Eastern roads have been increas- ing the wages of the railroad em- ployes, and it is very probable that the two orders will be granted an in crease in wages on the Western roads This will affect all the roads which enter Little Rock and large number of mon will be concerned.

The slate makers have already
got busy for the next campaign
and nave slated Judge Cowan and
Gov. White for congress and Tom
Baker of Cass county for COVER
nor. No wonder the politicians
were ''agin" primary election
the slate making business would
have been put to sleep. Howev.
er we apprehend that the people
will not see Congressman Spald-
ing and Marshall laid upon the

opine that a hole will be kicked
in that slate that will be too large
for repairs. If the people were
allowed q chance to vote these
early slate makers find them
selves tagged the first heat.

The Passenger Train.

The Passenger Train.
The following letter in reply to
petitions sent in from the towns
along the branch for better train
service explains itself:
jamestown, N. D. 4-29 O3.
Mr.. Maynard Crane,
Cooperstown, N. D.
Dear Sir:
Doubtless you have received .
communication from the g. p. &
I. A. in regard to the petition of
Cooperstown and other points on
the Cooperstown branch for pass
enger service.
I went to st. Paul and talked
the matter over with the Gen.
Manager and the G. p: & T. A.
They decided that the business
at this tune did not warrant a
passenger train on that branch,
and that they could not run trains
z and 8 through to McHenry, as
they were going to run these
trains through to Mandan, in or.
der to relieve the through trains
of the local business west of
jamestown.
The new card, which will take
effect May 3rd, will make connec-
tion at Sanborn, with train No. 8,
for the north, returning will con.
meet with both trains 8 and l,
thus doing a way with the possi-
bility for q late connection east
bound. North bound, there will
be wait of but II minutes at
Sanborn, and the south bound
train will have a wait of but 90
minutes for eastern connection,
or so minutes for western con-
nection, with train No. 1. Train
113 will arrive at Cooperstown at
II a. NJ, train 118 leaving there
at 4 p. M. If not established be-
fore the fall business, there will
certainly be established, at that
time, as good or better service
than was in effect last fall. l very
much regret that the business at
this time does not warrant a reg
ular passenger service between
McHenry and Fargo.
Trusting that you people will
be content with the one train for
a short time longer, I am,
Very truly yonrs,
G. J. WILSON, SUPT.

For about the steenth time in
the past few months the citizens
of Cooperstown are called upon
to meet at the fire hall to vote on
granting a franchise for a gas
plant. 1t is about time that we
got throughvoting thesepropo-
sitions and hereafter it would be
a good move if the town board
would settle the matter them
selves. We have a good board
and it's Judgment would undoubt-
edly be endorsed. The Courier
takes the stand that the gas fran
chise should not be granted for
the reason that the town has al
ready given a franchise for an
electric light plant and the com
pany is getting ready to install
the plant, the machinery has been
ordered, and ia a few days work
men will be here to prosecute the
work of installing the plant. The
Courier does not believe that it
would be wise move to grant
another franchise for lighting
plant at this time as we believe
that if two plants we're installed
it would be detrimental to one or
maybe both of them-the town is
not big enongh to support two.
The electric light people we're the
first to apply for the privilege
and it has been granted to them
and we believe that the town
should give that company a fair
trial. 1t is not an exclusive fran
chise therefore the company and
not the town will suffer if the
right thing is not done. :-'he ar
gument is used that the gas plant
will run the other out of business.
This is poor policy and of the dog
in. the manger order. The elec-
trio light firm will invest from
fifteen to twenty thousand dollars
in a plant and it would be mani
festly unfair to Immediately give
some other concern a chance to
cripple its business without first
giving it a fair chance. We will
admit that gas is the cheaper but
we also admit that electricity is
better, cheaper and more conven-
lent. We hope the citizens will
vote the gas proposition DOWN.
