No town will become a good bus
mess center when the majority of
the business men rely upon a few
merchants to bring trade to town.
Too often the men in a few lines
of trade are about the only ones to
reach out after trade. Other mer-
chants wait until these business
men influence people to town and
content themselves with trade that
naturally drifts to their place. A
public spirited man asks himself if
he is doing his part to attract peo-
pie to come to town. Any person
who induces people to come to
town to trade is helping the entire
community, and no town is q Sue
cess unless all lines of trade are
working to extend business as far
as possible and trying a large ter
ritory in the center Of which the
town is the business center Elk.

PURE SEED A

The idea Of a train instructing
along agricultural lines while not a
new one in the west in all respects
has never been attempted in exactly
the same manner as that in which
the 500 Line is taking up the sub
iject. The cars now is course of
preparation. will be thoroughly
equipped for the purpose intended
and will visit all stations on the
500 in North DAKOTA, stopping a
sufficient length of time to allow
those interested to pay a thorough
visit to this novel exhibition. It
will be in charge of the North D.
kota Agricultural College, which is
an assurance that all inquiries will
be answered in an intelligent way.
Samples of all varieties of grains
at present grown in the country
will be carried, but a specially will
be made of the finest exhibit Of
Seed Grains that can be gotten
together. It will furnish an oppor-
tunity for inspection of all the new
varieties which are now attracting
attention. such as Macaroni wheat,
Russian oats, etc, as we'll as seeds
of such hardy vegetables as recent
experiments have demonstrated
can be grown successfully in the
latitude Of the Dakotas. The train
cannot fail to be OF interest and
everyone is invited to call and see
it upon it's arrival and to make the
most of an excellent opportunity.
The dates Of arrival of tie train at
different points will be given as
soon as schedules can be prepared.

The post Office Of this place was
very fortunate during the holiday
rush regarding lost articles. The
only article found was a toy watch
which had dropped out of a broken
package. The article is worth
about five cents. The people as a
rule, are becoming more careful in
the preparation Of mail matter. The
post office department is DESTROYS
Of impressing upon the public the
necessity Of placing a return card
containing the name and address
of the sender upon all mail matter.
1t requires only a few moments to
do this and the necessity of the
government sending the mail to
the dead letter office in case the
mail cannot be delivered, is thus
removed, and the mail matter is
returned to the sender if the re-
turn card is properly filed out.

RECOMMENDATIONS.

Superintendent of Public Instruc.
ton Stockwell has some sugses-
tions in his report to the legisla-
ture in regard to the public schools.
AS the school fund of the state is
in such good condition, and the
school interests are so important,
the following recommendations of
the superintendent are worth con-
sideration:-
lst:-Some change in the method
of choosing county and state super
intendent which will eliminate the
element of politics and introduce
that of professional ability. The
establishment Of higher qualifca-
tions for county superintendent.
End. Better wages for teachers
through raising the standard of
qualification and the establishment
by law of a minimum wage.
3rd. Better school buildings and
grounds, made possible by allow
ing a larger expenditure of money
upon the same and the erection of
school buildings in keeping with
plans approved by educational ex-
perts. Power to condemn unsani-
tary buildings given to a county
educational board.
18th. Codification of school laws
which will harmonic many pres
ent conflicting sections.

Indications are that the sessionof
the state irrigation congress being
arranged by President Williams
and Secretary Plumley for January
oath in this city will be one Of the
most interesting and beneficial
sessions of that body held in the
state. Director Newell of the Gov
eminent Reclamation Service will
be here if possible, and MIR. H. A.
Storrs, who has been charge of Re-
clamamation Surveys in North
Dakota, Elwood Mead, a Govern
ment Irrigation expert, and other
distinguished men are expected to
be present. The convention of the
Congress in the session of the leg
islature will give the members a
better idea Of irrigation possibili-
ties and will also furnish educa-
tional material for the people of
the state, in cooperating with the
Department of the Interior. This
is the principal thing necessary at
this time, now that the government
has made an appropriation for the
beginning of irrigation work.--The
Bismarck Tribune.

For killing negro Head the jury
in Burleigh county, returned YER
dict of guilty and fixed the penalty
at eleven years and ten months in
the penitentiary. The whole coun-
try is aroused over the number of
murderers that are being commit
ted. And why is it? Just be-
cause the punishment is not Sc
we're or quick enough. Take the
recent Burleigh county case. A
young man deliberately kills a
man because he could not collect
money due for wages, and eleven
years and ten months is the penal
ty imposed by a Burlelgh county
jury. 1t establishes a bad pre-
cedent in the manner of collecting
y debt.

Farmers and others will be in
terested in the Pure Seed" train
which will make a visit to the
towns along the line Of the $500
railway. This is something new
in the way Of instructions for the
farmers and all should take advan-
tage of the opportunity thus offer
ed to study the pure seed question.
Pure seed is Il serious one, and the
management Of a great railway
system appreciates this fact, and
by the means Of a pure seed train
are trying to educate the farmer as
to what constitutes pure seed
and the benefits to be derived from
sowing pure seed. Watch for the
date Of the train.

KIND WORDS FOR MccumBER.

lis there any danger that Sena-
tor Macumber will be defeated for
reelection" inquired SenatorW. B.
Allison, the recognized Republican
leader Of the Senate of a Herald
correspondent the other day. [ in
formed him that the indications
were that the Senator would be re-
elected without opposition.
Il trust he WILL" replied the
venerable senator. Il have never
known a man in my thirty-two
years ssrvice in the Senate who
has impressed me more tavorably
than Senator McCumber. If his
constituents continue him in his
present Office, they will have no
reason to regret their action. He
is a conscientious public servant,
and a man who is growing rapidly
in the estimation and esteem of his
colleagues in hat body. He is a
very valuable representative Of the
state and one that the people should
feel proud Of"
This statement made to the Her
aid correspondent by the recog-
nized leader Of the party in the sen.
ate expresses the general sentiment
prevailing in the Senate with refer
ence to the junior Senator from
North Dakota. He commands the
universal respect Of members of
both parties. As chairman of the
Committee on Pensions, he has
shown unusual ability. So general
is the confidence reposed in him
a case calling for the expenditure
Of public money, his recommends
ton is almost universally accepted
without question. If reelected, Sen.
McCumber can, if he should desire
have the craftsmanship of the COM
mittec on Indian Affairs after the
4th Of March. It is doubtful, how
ever, if he would give up the chair
manship of the committee on pen
sions, which is recognized as one
Of the important committees of the
senate, for the craftsmanship of the
committee on Indian Affairs. He
is today the second ranking men,
Der on Indian Affairs and exercises
as much influence in Indian legis-
lation as though he were chairman
of the committee. If reelected, he
will, within the next two years, be
eligible to appointment on tie CON-
mittee Oh appropriations. This is
the most important committee Of
the senate. 1t is the one commit
tee that passes on every appropri-
alton make by congress. With
Sen. Hansbrough on the commit
tee on Finance, which committee
has jurisdiction on all Legislation
affecting the finances of the coun-
try, and with Senator McCumber
OH the committee OF Appropria-
lions, North Dakota would be in a
position to obtain almost anything
she desired.-Forum

 There were present at the conference twenty-five men, seven of whom were members of legislature. or the seven members present four spoke in sup port of Senator Depew, one was non committal and two were for Black, while it is understood that a majority of the rest of the conference was in favor of Governor Black.
