In spite of the dry weather all crops
are looking good through here with the
exception Of wheat. They are all badly
in need of rain. however.

HERE is pointer for the township
assessors Of this county in the action
taken by the board Of county commits
sione.s ofGrand Forks county regarding
assessors down there who through over
sight or otherwise are neglectful of their
official duty in returning valuation of
household goods. Assessors who were
derilict in this matter were notified by
the sheriff to appear before the board
of equalization and make the valuation
as required by the Law. The board of
equalization here in this county figure
that there are any number of people in
this county who own enough household
goods on which to pay taxes. and on
which no return has been made on the
assessment books. This does not appear
to apply to any one particular part of
the county, but almost all over. Besides
the lack of revenue caused thereby there
is also the grave error of nothing being
there to show how an increase can be
made during the following year. The
question, which the board Grand Forks
county went into so thoroughly. was dis
cussed at length by our officials here
this past week and they may be expect
ed to take up the precedent established
and assessors who have neglected in spy
way to do their duty in assessing house
holm goods may be given similar re-
minder Of how it would have been
better had they not been 20 neglectful.

ELECTRICITY VS.. STEAM.

The number of passengers carried
ON American steam railroads Is less to.
day by over 12.000OOO than II was
seven years ago.
-Four times as many passengers were
carried 10y trolley roads as by steam
roads in Massachusetts in 1902.
In Connecticut the trolley lines
carry 90 per cent more passengers
than the steam lines.
On many interurban lines trolley
speed approaches steam speed. on the
Buffalo and Lockport trolley road fifty
miles an hour Is the pace over some
sections of It.

KEEP A CHEERFUL MIND.

To he cheerful when the world Is go.
ing well with you is no great virtue
The thing is to be cheerful under dis
advantageous circumstances. II one
has no money, If business prospects
fail, If there is sickness of self or those
dear to one, then is II indeed a virtue
to he cheerful When poverty PITCHES
day after day, month after month or
through the years as they pass. and
one has ever to deny self of every little
longed-for luxury, and the puzzle of
how to make one dollar do the work
for two has to be solved, then the man
who can still be cheerful is a hero. He
is greater hero than the soldier who
faces the cannon's mouth Such cheer.
fulness is the kind that we need to
cultivate.
TO acquire this self-command, we
need to think OF many things We need
to guard against giving way to irrita-
tiCn about little things. II we can
maintain self-control in small matters
we shall have less difficulty in main
tanning Il when great matters are to be
met. II we meet with irreparable
losses we must readjust our lives to
NJ the new conditions. There is nc
great evil so bad but that IL might
/ have been worse. There is truth in tn,
saying that every cloud has a silver
lining" Though 1t may for tim,
look so dark we can see no CLINT of th'
silver. yet we know II is there.
