Year after year, the Reporter has
warned the good farmers and home
steaders of this county against de-
s%truction of property and perhaps
lives, in conseauenceo of prairie fire.
This year seems to be favorable to
disastrous fires than any that has
preceded it for a number of years.
The grass is exceptionally high on
the uplands as we'll as in the valleys
and when it becomes dry, should it
catch fire, the prairie would be
nothing more or less than a seeth-
ing furnace. For this reason the
ordinary firebreak will not suffice
this year. The tirebreak of last
year should be doubled this year,
and wherever practicable, grain
be stacked on plowed ground. The
old adage that a stitch in time will
save nine, might be applicable in
this case lnot Reporter.
This is the doctrine The LEADER
has been preaching for years. This
year, when blowing is so easy, there
is no excuse for failure to pillow good
firebreaks. Prairie fires do more
annual damage than any other ca.
lamity that befalls the farmer. Il
you have not plowed your fire.
breaks, do not wait a minute, but
do SO now.

was working to build UP Mclean
county, but would have resulted in
a law suit. as the road had enjoined
the collection of the taxes on the
ground of an unfair assessment.
Mclean county people are satisfied
with the action of the County Com
missioners, which was done in good
faith and as a:matter of fairness to
the road.

The Flickertail Flicker is en-
deavoring to make some political
capital out of the fact that the
County Commissioners of Mclean
county accepted taxes from the Bis
marck, Washburn & Great Falls
road at the rate of $4,000 per mile.
It will be remembered by citizens of
this county that in 1902, this road
was assessed in Mclean county at
$1,000 a mile by the state board of
equalization. The road was a pri-
vate enterprise, its business in this
county was small and it was MAX
ing a struggle for existence, and to
build up Mclean county. In the
following year, the road was raised
from $500 to $4,000 a mile, not
because it had increased in value
by any such amount, but because
of spitework on the part Of the
Great Northern road and it's rep
resentatives. Any fair minded man
will admit that to have raised the
road to $4,000 a mile, an increase
of $500 in one year would have
been enough. The County Com
missioners, in accepting taxes on a
basis Of $4,000 mile, we're doing
only what was fair, and what was
done in Burleigh county, where the
road was assessed the year before
at $2,5OOa mile, and where there is
much greater traffic between Will
ton and Bismarck. Now the road
has been sold to the 500 Line and
is assessed as q part Of that system
at 5000 per mile. To have refused
to accept taxes at the rate Of $4,000
per mile would not only have. been
unfair toa private enterprise that

GROWTH OF MCLEAN COUNTY

GROWTH OF MCLEAN COUNTY
EDITOR LEADER
[ note by the Fessenden News
that President Elliot of the North
ern Pacific and J. j. Hill of the Ct.
Northern road took a trip on a spe-
cial train from Denhoff, toward the
river to McCluskey, twelve miles
west of Denhoff, returning from
there through the fine valley to
Dawson. I wonder if you IacLean
County people realize the great
changes that will be made in the
next year, with the railroads that
are now building or prospected.
McCluskey promises to be a rail
road center Of considerable import,
ance before the year is over. 1t is
we'll known that the Northern Pa
cifc intends to make a cutoff on it's
main line, the new line to extend
from Edgley to Dawson and thence
north to McCluskey, to connect
with the Denhof branch which will
be built westward. The line from
Edgeley to Dawson will be part of
the main line, and will cut off the
hills at Valley City and jamestown.
The main line will extend west from
Dawson, but the branch to McClus-
key will give the road an excellent
opportunity to tap this fertile and
thickly settled valley, extending
past Langedahl, O'Brien's ranch,
and to McCluskey. This is a we'll
settled country, the northern part
Of Burleigh county being thickly
settled as in Mclean county. The
road has an eye on tlis settlement.
as we'll as on the coal business and
finally reaching the river. Messrs.
Elliott and Hill have expressed
themselves as highly pleased with
the country between McCluskey
and Dawson and are preparing to
push the roads, the Denhoff branch
west, and the branch from Dawson
to McCluskey. The work may be
begun this fall and completed next
year.
This will give Mclean county
four roads, including the 500 Line,
which will build northwarG, and the
Farmers Road, diagonally across
the county from the north. These
roads will practically center at Nc
Cluskey. which seems the favored
spot. 1t is we'll to remember that
two years ago, as I see by a recent
statement in The LEADER, there
were nearly 1000 homesteads taken
in Mclean county. Last year there
were about 1000, and there are only
3,400 remaining. In another year,
with the present railroad building,
there will be no homesteads left.
The entire aspect of the country
will have changed, and there will
be new towns and new commercial
centers. Your growth is remark
able, and in the course of a year or
two you will have to adjust your
self to new conditions.

AN APPEAL TO THE RECORD.

The history of financial leglsla-
ton in America can be summarized
into the very brief statement that
the Republicans have advocated
and the Democrats opposed every
act of legislation calculated to per-
feet the system which now obtains.
The consensus of mature Repub-
lican judgment has been right. The
consensus of opinion Of the Demo.
cratic party has been wrong usually.
The Republican party has made
mistakes and rectifed them. The
Democratic party has made mis-
takes and insisted on repeating
them.
The National Banking Act was a
Republican measure, calculated to
redeem the country from the evils
of wildcat banking. The measure
was opposed by 80 per cent of the
Democrats in Congress and is to-
day opposed by avery large num-
Der of them, in spite of the time
test of it's merits. In 1896, the Dem.
%ocratic platform declared the issue
of national bank notes unconstitu-
tional and SO recently as 1900, the
platform demanded the substitu-
ton of government notes or silver
certificates for bank notes as rap
idly as possible.
Every Republican in Congress
voted for the resumption of specie
payments and every Democrat was
against it, and a Democratic house
in 1877, passed a bill for the repeal
of the resumption act. A majority
of the Democrats voted against the
bill to repeal the silver purchase
act, and only II Democrats voted
for the establishment of the gold
standard, while 178'voted against it.
The Republicans in 1896 and 1900
declared for the gold standard in
their party platforms. The Demo-
Gratis declared for the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver in 1896 and
lin 1900, and remained silent on the
subject in their platform of 1904.
That, in brief, is the record and
yet the Democratic party comes up
and asks the voters of the country
to entrust the destinies Of the ma
ton to its unsafe hands and uncer-
tainpolicies on a question that con-
Germs the welfare Of every Amer
can. 1t is like asking the owners
of a vessel, freighted with a valua-
bic cargo, steaming strong IN q well
known current with a trained pilot
to surrender it TO an unskilled pilot
and an untried crew.
