FREMoN1's BIG INDUSTRY.
Fremont Townships New Brick Yard Turns Out
fine Samples of Finished Product.

4 Cavalier county manufacturing in
dustry which cannot fail to attract con-
siderable local attention is the plant of
the Mayo Brick & Tile Co., situated on
the banks of the Pembina river in FIRE.
mont township, few miles west of
Walhalla. For some time past the
company have been operating their
plant and the output has been awaited
quietly, as certainty of the quality was
wanted before any ''noise" was made
regarding it. The hollow building
brick and tiling are as good as any ever
produced, while the pressed brick is the
best brick manufactured in the state.
although Mr.. Mayo says it is not as
good as they will place on the market
when they open up for business. The
present product will be used at the
works and next season the company
will place their output on the market

now on file. Samples of the present
manufacture can be seen at the Offices
of Messrs. Alert & Winter, of this city,
who in company with others in this city
are stockholders in the company.

A COMPARISON exceedingly fattering
to North Dakota is found in an article
printed one day last week in the
columns of the Fargo Forum. The
statistics compare the progress and
development of North Dakota with that
of Minnesota. In substance it says:
In this state 85 per cent is improved;
and in Minnesota only 20 per cent. The
latter have about 10000 more popula-
ton, and therefore the comparison
would be expected to be more favorable
in Minnesota than to North Dakota,
but it is right the other way. In North
Dakota the production Of wheat per
acre was 14.s, barley 25.6, and oats 3l.2,
while on the other side Of the line the
figures were 1875. pa aud 2s.7 re-
spectivsly. The Minnesota counties
have 1900 moro mich cows but North
Dakota sold 100000 more dairy pro-
ducts and 100000 more Of live stock
al because Of the better grade of stock
kept in this state. The average value
ofthe farm products per acre was s5.41
against s4.11 N Minnesota. It is evil
dsnt that the work aof he agricultural
oo,Iege and experimsntai station is hav-
ing IN important effect % the income

An incident of the election over in
Pembina county of more than passing
interest was the part taken at the polls
in their respective precincts by Father
Wilson, of Bathgate, and Father Ward
we'll, of Pembina, the former being the
parent of the editor of the democratic
Pink Paper, and the latter bearing the
same relation to the editor of the re-
publican Pioneer-Express at the county
seat. Father Wilson. who is eighty-five
years of age, has voted the democratic
ticket ever since attaining his majority,
which fact by the way shows that
Editor Frank A. Wilson has a demo-
cratic ancestry to be justly proud of
Father Wardwell has voted the repub-
lican ticket for about the same length
of time.

The legislator who wants to do some
thing that will commend him to the
thinking people of the whole state ir-
regardless of party will take the initia-
tive toward rearranging the present un-
fair legislative apportionment. A new
legislative apportionment is necessary
in fairness to the northwestern section
of the state. Cass. with 4,S00 votes has
three state senators and nine members
of the lower house, or total of twelve
IN the three districts. Ward county
with more votes. does not even have a
complete legislative district, as it is
combined with Williams. Ward with
one-sixth more votes has only three
members of the legislature to twelve
from Cass county. The instance here
cited is but one example of the condi-
tion existing throughout the western
half of the state as compared with the
older portions lying along the Red
River Valley.

That everything wasn't exactly lovely
and that the recent election left some
very sore spots among the republicans
over in Nelson county is learned from
the following editorial comment OF the
Lakota Herald in referring to Congress
man Elect A. j. Gronna:
A. j. Gronna, republican congress
mau-elect, and deposed boss and would
be car of Nelson county politics, is out
this week with an editorial in his paper,
the Lakota American, charging the de-
feat of B. G.. Serns, former republican
candidate for register of deeds, to Hon.
c. N. Frich. This article is so william
ously false and misleading that the
Herald cannot let it go unchallenged,
as people not familiar with the local
campaign may be misled by Gronna's
lies. Everyone at all familiar, with
election in Nelson county believes that
formed an alliance for the purpose Of
defeating Mr.. Serns. Mr.. Lindvig, MIR.
Telander. Mr.. Swenson and Mr.. Kelly.

man of the county campaign committee,
to whom was paid by the candidates a
fund of more than 10000. Gronna
hired poll workers in many precincts
who worked openly against large part
of the county ticket. More than this
Gronna. as everyone knows, spent the

counseling and aiding the democratic

to secure votes against the republican

THERE is not today an industry worth
cornering but the trusts have their
deadly grip upon it, and the bare-faced
peculation and wholesale coercion is SO
marked that the blind man cannot fail
to see it. If we want ton of coal we
must pay the miner for digging it, the
railway company for transporting it and
100 per cent to the trusts for the privi-
lege of buying and selling it. And SO it
is with almost every natural product
that goes to make up the necessaries Of
life, even the meat We consume is pur-
chased from the stockmen at fraction
of its value, and sold to him who must
have it to sustain life at figure that
sends shiver through his wasted
frame. The people have lost faith in
the promises of the republicans and
in the much-vaunted battle cry of
s.Stand Pat" and there will be such a
change in 1908 as will astonish the
world.

WE discredit the statement of the
Crystal Call when that paper says
democracy is thing of the past. I'm
like the Call, which has only openly
espoused republicanism since the cleo
tion of month ago we would rather
lose on principle than win on policy
The democratic party is just as stable
and unchanging as it was at the time OF
its inception hundred years ago, and
its principles are eternal. The rank and

As the abstract of votes cast at the
last election show the aggregate number
of votes cast for presidential electors
this year was only 245O against 2e51
votes cast at the presidential election
of 1900, four years ago. This fact Of
itself is sufficient to show that the vote
this year was extremely light in all
precincts. The candidates who failed
to get majority can naturally attri-
butte their defeat to the stay at home
