PREDICTIONS TRUE
RELATIVE MERITS OF RED
AND JAMES RIVER VALLEYS
e. P. WELLS CHATS WITH A
REPORTER.

President E. P. Wells of the James
River National Bank has been spend
ing a couple Of days in town check
ing up business relating to his various
enterprises here. He feels greatly
over the prospect for the
steady growth and development Of
Jamestown and Stutsman county.
and In fact for the central and west
ern part Of the state. Twenty years
ago he remembers making a predic-
tion to the prominent farmers Of the
Red River Valley that the James
River Valley lands would in time be
more profitable for small farmers
than tho famous RED River Valley.
His prediction was secuted at, at
that time, but the other day ono of
the large land on ners and business
men Of tho Red. River Valley &C.
knoWledged that the rolling lands
and higher. elevations IL the central
and western part Of the state were
better profit makers. cne year with
another, than the deep soil of the
low lying lands in the Red River
country. Nj. Wells In speaking Of
tho prospect for continuing settlement
in this part Of the state says:
!. /. II SEQ no reason Why this county
and the James River Valley as we'll
as the other pa;ts Of the state
wat Of us. should not continue to
increase By steady additions Of the
better class Of farmers. We have
passed tho doubtful point and our
land values have become fixed. This
region il becoming better known for
it's agricultural possibilities in all Of
tie states from which We get our
best settlers, and financial circles are
recognizing this fact over large area
Of county. i think today that farm
els are paying OF their old scores.

ing moro money in the James River

REGISTER OF DEEDS.

Geo. B. Mckenzie, the republican
candidate for register of deeds. is an
old resident of Stutsn an county, and
has won the respect Of all who know
him for his integrity of character, ,and
capable, courteous relations in what
ever capacity he has been placed.
The only time he has held an Office
is when he was a member of the
legislature two years ago. which
position he filed creditaDly to himself
and faithfully to the best interests Of
those he represented. Although
having been a farmer since coming
to Stutsman county, he is well quail
fed to attend to other lines Of duty.
He was instrumental in securing the
passage OF a bill through the legjsla-
ture known as the Mckenzie personal
injury bill, the object of which was
to afford protection to railroad men
injured while on duty.
The Office Of reg lister OF deeds is an
important one, and Mr.. Mckenzie
will bring to the Office the same care
and faithful attention that he has
given to his other official duties.
The office which is filed by the
present register, Mr.. John Fried, has
been we'll conducted, Mr.. Fried hay-
ing held the Office for two terms or
four years to the general satisfaction
Of the people, and it will be the same
with Mr.. Mckenzie, should the voters
favor him with the election.
When Mr.. Fried was elected it was
not on..account OF any inefficient con-
dues Of this Office, 70, his predecessor
Mr.. McElrOy, was also an excellent
Official. The only reason that Mr..
McE!roy was not elected to the Office
for another tern, was that the voters
deemed that he had filed the Office
long enough. and 1t vas time to give
another man chance. MIR. Fried
was elected on this ground and now
it is Mr.. Mckenzie's turn, having
been nominated tor the position aid
being well qualified for the same.
Two terms are believed to be enough
for any man to have in Office. This
has come to be the republican doc
trine and the voters IN the county
will no doubt sustain 1t.
