IF you want a live town, push
the hustler. Few towns are with
out men who have more push and
energy than means to carry out
their plans. Perhaps the hustler
may occasionally make a mistake,
possibly he may over reach in his
efforts to build up the town. Bet
ter thus than not do it at all. If
you have such a man in town, keep
him going, help him push. He
may become weary at times and
should be encouraged. Don't get
jealous of him and throw cold wa
ter on his efforts. 1t is more diff
fcult to build up than to tear
down. that is why SO many are en-
gagged in destroying what the few
are creating. A half dozen active
men in town are worth more to 1t
than a hundred passive men. It
takes more enterprise than money
to build up town. Get behind
the hustler and don't push back.
If you can't push, crawl out of
sight and sit down. If you can't
say agood word, say nothing

WILTON LIGNEYE
NOT ADVANCED
SENATOR WASHBURN SAYS
THAT NORTH DAKOTA RU-
MORS ARE ERRONEOUS.
Prices Are UP on Kenmare and
Minot Coal, Keeping Level of
Strike Period Last Summer
No Reductions at Other Points
on Account of ..Publicity."

Gas far as the Wilton Ignite is
concerned, there has not been any
increase in prices, and hence
there has been no necessity for a
reductionin prices because of pub
licity,'" said Senator w. D. Wash
burn, in referring to a dispatch
from Bismarck saying that Ignite
prices we're SO high in North Dako-
to that the people we're beginning
to buy anthracite coal in prefer
ence.
"The complaint of the high
prices for Ignite, which have ap-
peared in many of the North d.
kota papers, and of which the artl-
Gle in the Journal of Saturday
gave the purport, have their foun
dalton, not in the high price we
have been charging for Wilton
Ignite, but in the high prices
charged for Kenmare and Minot
coal on the 500 line.
"The local demand for that lig-
mite has been so strong in compar-
ison to the output that the high
prices which we're charged during
the big coal strike of last year are
still maintained and the miners
get 1925 and $3.50 at the mine.
$50 it happens that when they
ship into Fessenden or Darlington
or other points on the northern
500 line, we who sell at the mine
Tor $1,25, are able to invade the
northern territory by shipping on
the 500 by way of Hankinson or
on the Northern Pacific by way of
jamestown. And that is what has
reduced the price of Ignite at GER
tain 500 points.
$50 far as I know, there has
been no recent reduction in Ignite
prices in Fargo, which we serve al
most exclusively.
At Bismarck the price ruling is
below that fixed by agreement as
the maximum.
Senator Washburn emphatically
denies that the Northern Pacific
holds a mortgage on the Bismarck,
Washburn & Great Falls railroad,
which is developing one Of the
North Dakota Ignite fields. He
says: "A year ago we borrowed
money from the Northern Pacific
for construction purposes, but that
money has been paid back and the
Northern Pacific never hrd mort
gage on our road.-Minneapolis

We have from time to time pre-
sented to our readers articles on
the vast amount Of good to be de-
rive from a creamery. Last weeks
issue contained a short article re-
garding the Kindred creamery and
the amount of money that has been
made. Now these are all facts,
and if other towns are doing this,
why can't we do the same right
here in Washburn? We have just
as enterprisine business men and
we have an up-to- date town as
any of them, and we cannot see
why aproposition, such as a cream
cry, is not more fully discussed.
It looks now as If Washburn was
going to secure a well equipped
plant, but some more work 10 nee
essary on the part of our citizens.

We would like TO see tie size of
the donation made by the man of
many means and a bray like jack
ass, which he claimed he gave
towards the fire bell. We have an
idea that it was SO small that it
took an awful bray to get the fact
before the public. If Mr.. Harris
would only look up the records he
will find that the city council has
no bell that we know of. The young
man must have felt that he made
one grand discovery when he letout
that bray anent the city council.
He has tried everything else, even
trying to collect subscription from
a man to whom he had presented a
years complimentary subscription.
Before there is a boiler it is al
ways a good plan to look over the
ground first and learn all the facts
and then tell the truth. When the
little Jim squirt" chemical engine
was purchased, we all felt that the
move was a good one and that the
engine would give us protection
from the fire dend. The edict has
gone forth that the % representa-
tive business men Of Washburn,
who signed the notes that pur-
chased the outfit. But their judg-
ment has been set at naught by a
man, who never saw but one good
thing in Washburn, and that was
his handsome self. The tears come
to our eyes as we think ofour brave
fire fighters haulinga "Jim squirt
to a fire. It is hard but then it is
another bluff.

It is gratifying to note the many
who are taking advantage Of the
opportunities afforded by the Agri-
cultural college at Fargo, to secure
a, practical education. Farming
has become a science, and to be
successful along these lines, it is
necessary to prepare for it. The old
slip shod methods have passed
away and to-day we have the sci
enti6c man who makes a study of
the soil and it's conditions and the
best means to combat them. The
short term in agriculture is prov
ing a success.

The list of victims of the theater

The list of victims of the theater
fire in Chicago still grows. It has
caused the officials of the large
cities to see that a more rigid in
spection is made and that the laws
governing the fire protection are
carried out and laws enforced. It
is hard thing to say, but it is just
such a calamity as the destruction
of the Iroquois to awaken the Off
Gals to their responsibilities. 1t
can be noticed in the short time
since the catastrophe how the Off
cials have busted themselves along
these lines.

Don't take no for an answer.
North Dakota should receive some
benefit from the irrigation fund.
Every effort is being made to OBJ
tain the use of these funds. It is
justice that it should be used in
this state, where the settlers have
paid the money in. There are sec
tions of the state where something
is occasionally needed to supple
ment the rainfall. These settlers
on these lands are the ones who
should have the benefit of the in
vestment of his money-instead Of
going down into the strictly arid
regions to improve land which is
still owned by the government, or
which has been secured by spec
.ulators. It does not matter whether
the law has heretofore been thus
interpreted or not. tits right that
the settlers here should be amply
protected before any Of the money
they have paid goes to such Sec
tions as is proposed to be benefit
ted by it. It is believed that every
member o. the congressional dele
cation is trying to do all that poss-
ible for the state, but they need
help. One of the ways each man
in the state can help is to write to
at least one member at Washing
ton, and state the case just as
strongly as he can. No matter if
you do not know the senator or the
member of the house you write to,
he will be glad to hear from you.
Don't make this a pro formo mat
ter, but put your heart in it, and
the representative you write to will
thank you for the assistance you
thus render. Let the officials see
that the people of North Dakota
will not take no for an answer in
this matter. Keep the letters going
never let up, and the state will
win.-Forum.

Our contemporary in last weeks

that for truth and veracity he is an
unknown quality. He tells the
public that owing to the rise in
print paper and other material he
is compelled to raise the price of
paper to $3.50 a year. We have,
purchased-for cash-just as much
print paper and as much new ma
terial as he has, and we can buy
just as cheap to day as we could a
year ago, but he is trying to run
another bluff on the people. W.
