Cumber, Antler, Calvin, Fairdale, Gar.
rison, Kramer and Lankin.
During the past year business
throughout the north half of North Da-
kota has been exceptionally good,
more especially in the building lines
than others. The mercantile trade
here Is, of course, better during the
past four months of the year than at
any other time, as that is when the
grain is harvested and marketed and
the farmer gets his money for his
product. During September this year
trade was dull, but October more than
made up that deficiency and as rule
the merchants claim they did larger
business during that month than they
have for the past three or four years.
The fore part of November was q
little quiet, but since then and up to
the present time trade is reported
good in all lines. The commercial
travellers give very fattering reports
of the trade in this section the past
year, many of them running over the
limit of what they are required to sell.
The banking business has made
wonderful strides owing to the open.
ing up of so many new towns on the
Great Northern extensions and new
500 lines, and there is scarcely town
that has not one or two banking insti.
tutions, which get their share of bust
ness.
Farm lands and city property
change hands with seeming regularity
and in most cases to new settlers at
good prices.
AS the year is drawing rapidly to a
close the corrected Bradstreet reports
on the true commercial aspect Of
North Dakota are valuable, as in view
of some incorrect figures which have
gained publicity the state has not re-
ceived all the credit to which she was
entitled, and North Dal1otans are sharp
to notice such things. In addition to
the remarkable prosperity shown in
business and banking the season just
closing will show up very prominently
in tie line of material improvements
in residences. In this line some very
fine ones; business blocks, public
buildings, including additions to near
ly'all the state institutions, and vast
quantity of other civic improvements.

Suggested by the Season

But how about the woman whose
mind is running over with thoughtful
ness for others, who is decent and
kind to her cook, who is considerate
of the aged, eager to help the needy
and always the fine, splendid helper
and friend to all who know her?
Let me tell you something. 1t is
in her heart that you will find genu-
inc contentment. No matter what
horrible anxieties she has suffered,
what dreadful troubles she has drag
ged YEARLY through, what pain and
cares have been hers, she is the one
who knows the calm, sweet comfort
that comes when she looks out into
gray Sky and realizes that she has
done good to some one, that she has
brought smile to quivering lips, a
light to discouraged eyes, life to
heart without hope
She doesn't have to wait until
Christmas. Every day is that-and
more-to her.
There is a woman l know, and she
had nothing at all-father, mother
brother or sister or even home. But
she had something else that lots of
people have not, and that is courage
and she was only little slip of girl.
too. But she worked very hard for
quite number of long years, and
now she has many things which she
has always wanted-little Injuries
that every woman loves-pretty
things in her home and pretty things
to wear.
The other day in shopping crowd
she met another woman who, like
herself, had carved a little niche in
the world of hard work, and this other
woman said:
aren't you proud of yourself for
having accomplished something?
am"
The first woman was silent for a
moment. Then she said:
mo, l am not proud of myself, l
can't be-yet I've done so very little
compared with what want to do, and
learned so little when I wished to
learn SO much. But am tremendous
ly happy that when want to buy
some little comfort for somebody or
send a box of flowers to somebody or
give some little child a happiness it
is in my power to do so. My years of
work have been worth this mighty
sweet reward.
Won't you try to let little more of
the holy spirit Of the hour sink into
your soul, and won't you remember
that your stay and mine and your
neighbours and everybody's is dread
fully limited here in this pleasant
vale of smiles and laughter? There's
no telling where any Of us will be this
time next year, SO live this Christmas
as happily and as generously as you
can.
There's something else, too. II you
are going to help little child hang
up tiny stocking, and if you are now
answering all sorts of questions about
Santa Claus and chimneys and rein
deers and if, on Christmas Eve, you
go to little bedside and kiss tho
sweetest little lips in all the world.
fall upon your knees and thank God.
for you are blessed!
A Merry Christmas to you all.

'N0RTBI DAK0IE IS GROWING fast
Mercantile Reports (show Splendid Record for the
State This Year.

North Dakota is gro5 ing so fast
commercially, and alorg every other
line, she can't keep up with herself, -
was the remark of a successful bust
ness man and shrewd observer to a
Fargo Forum reporter few days ago.
To look into the carefully compiled
figures from the best authoritative
sources and note the advances which
have been made since the opening of
last spring. showing the remarkable
growth Of North Dakota in one season,
would appall one almost-a growth
substantial without any of the fea-
lures of boom, just firm enough to
meet advancing conditions and grad
ual healthy increase of population.
The secret is in the fact that at the
present time no state in the Union Of
fers greater opportunities for the
sturdy young homeseeker than North
Dakota. Many of these. new Corners
bring with them means to greater or
lesser extent, and those who came,
say three or four years ago, were of a
class who are now beginning to reap
velvet" out of their small capital.
No more pertinent and convincing
record Of North Dakota's business &C.
tivities and substantial growth could
be furnished than the figures shown in
the proof sheets of the January vol
ume of the Bradstreets' reports, for
no agency keeps in closer touch nor
is better authority on matters COM
mercial in the State of North Dakota
than the Bradstreet Mercantile COM
pany.
For the six months preceding Nov.
Is, 1905, the reports will show that
North Dakota's record during that Pc
riod was sixty-eight new towns estab-
lished, 1858 new names added, and
the record of 105 new banks estab-
lished. The total number of banks in
the state up to the closing of the re-
ports was 105 national banks and $40
vtate banks.
The reports give the following clus-
ter Of towns and cities in the state
which have made "liyely growth"
during the past six months: OVERLY,
Rolette, MaXbass, Rock Lake. Russell,

INDIAN SCHOOL is ASSURED.

All Necessary Details Cleared UP and
Work on Indian School Assured for
Coming Year.
Capt Downs, Special agent of the
Indian department., has completed his
work at Bismarck in connection with
the new Indian school, made his re
port to Washington and is awaiting or,
ders
In speaking of the school, he said
that every prerequisite has been com.
piled with and that plans would soon
be ready for bids. while I have not
heretofore been in favor of Indian
schools off reservations" he said, II
feel compelled to compliment Major
Mclaughlin on his selection of the
site for this school. 1t commands a
fine view of the Missouri river far to
the north and south and of the west
side. The location is admirable on &C.
count of it's proximity to the large
reservations and the school ought to
have a large attendance and it's near
ness will certainly please the Indian
parents. who often dislike to have
their children sent to far Eastern
schools. The location is splendid in
every way, and, as I said before, the
site is beautiful one"
The buildings at the school will con-
sist of two large dormitories, one
large school building, one employees
quarters, two work shops and pump
ing station. Unless the plans are
changed the water supply will be
pumped direct from the river, but
Capt. Downs has suggested to the de-
partment that it might be cheaper and
better for fire protection to use the
city water.
While nothing definite is known OF
the departments plans, it is surmised
bids for the construction of the build
ings will be called for some time in
February, SO that work can commence
early in the spring.

WITTMAYER CONVICTED.
Jury Was Out About Half an Hour
Considering the Case.

jury was OuI ABOUT Tatf an t1out
Considering the Case.
1t took district court jury at Grand
Forks just half an hour to find Chris
Wittmayer guilty of obtaining money
under false pretenses.
Wittmayer, who claimed to be rep
resentatiye of the Hackney Land COM
pany, st. Paul, was arrested last July
on a warrant charging him with OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
The particular charge was for secur-
ing meney from Jacob Rau and John
Weiss-something like $500, which
represented a partial payment on
lands located in Kidder and Burleigh
counties. Several of the witnesses eX-
amined had also been victinlized by
Wittmayer for various amounts, and
strong case was made out against
him.
Wittmayer was the only witness
ed to have authority from the Hack
ney Land company, as we'll as various
other land companies. He admitted
that he had told Rau and Weiss and
the other men that he represented the
company and that he had accepted
their money, with the understanding
that he was to go to st. Paul and see
whether or not the company would
carry out the agreement that he had
figured out for them. He told them,
he claimed, that the company would
require 81 per acre down on all the
land and second payment to be
made the coming fall. On cross-exam
ination he said that when he left
Fargo, after giving the German colony
the slip, he had something over $400,
and that, he had sent $44O to a man
named Hank Murray, in Iowa, and
that he had also sent him $245 few
days before that time. All told, he
said, Hank Murray had between 5000
and $1,000 of his money, most of it
taken from the farmers who secured
his arrest. He also admitted on cross
examination that he had got 5000 from
\ farmer named Berth, in Stuttsman
county, who Lad never received any
consideration for it. Wittmayer made
poor witness for his own case, and
said that the contract Which his sew
eral victims had signed had been de-
stroyed but short time ago, the time
for a second payment having expired.
Wittmayer said that he had Been
engaged in selling lands for the past
four or five years. and with the Grand
Forks and Stuttsman county cases
known of. 1t is evident that the bust
ness proved very profitable one for
him. Il
