Because Lauritzen Bros, the Furgus
Falls firm whose bid was the lowest,
failed to qualify, all bids for the con.
struction of an addition to the Fargo
federal building in this city have been
rejected by Acting Secretary of the
Treasury Taylor.-Forum. -.
Fargo has a pipe dream about the
500 leasing track privileges on the N.

also use of depot and yards at the Red

The opening of the public schools

The Fargo Forum has given it out
that the Bad Lands of this state
are the rendezvouz Of many tough
characters and alluded to the thieves
and cutthroats" that abound in that
vicinity. Indeed, we are of the opin-
ion that the Forum does an injustice
to an honest and hard working class
of ranchmen and settlers. Even the
editor of the Forum would find it
difficult to place his finger upon any
of the thieves and cutthroats" in that
region. The Bad Lands are peopled
with a hard working class of ranch
men There is an occasional indiyid-
ua1 who is off color, but we feel certain
that the proportion Of them is much
smaller than it is in the city Of Fargo.
We fear the Forum has been led into
error by some enthusiastic reporter
who desires to work up a Harry
Tracey story for the readers Of that
excellent paper.

CONDITION OF CATTLE MARKET

Prices Still Low But Trade in Better
Shape than Last week-special Ad-,
vices from Jos. Dietrich of Evans
snider-7ueI Co., Chicago.
Union Stock Yards, Chicago, ELL,
Aug. 2S.-Receipts OF range cattle to
day, 5000 against 5000 for one week
ago. Range cattle values have shown
an appreciable gain in late days last
week as compared with the level in
force two weeks ago. Bulk OF sales
last week ranged 10c higher. Last
week we had $4,000, against 10000
two weeks ago and $4,000 one year
ago. While prices were lower in the
early part OF the week the reaction OF
late has put trade in quite satisfactory
shape. Good teers sold generally
steady and the movement in trade was
fairly active, though common and
light steers went slowly and sold weak
to 10c lower than closing prices Of
last week. We sold some North Da-
kota cattle last week loaded at
Sentinel Butte 81 head averaging 1874
at sc; % head averaging 1854 $4.55.
Cattle sold today one lot of Montanas
sold at $3.50. The KIT steers sold
at $4.25; while a big train OF Tombs
cattle sold at $500. We sold II cars
OF Scott & Robinson heifers, 526
head. average 1884 pounds, at $3.50.
We also sold a string of Dakota cattle
for feeders at $40, and some thin
500 pound cattle for stockers at $3.50.
The cattle runs from the west from
now on are going to be very heavy and
would advise shipping right along to
avoid the heavy runs from the west.

WE WILL HAVE PEACE.

1t is well that the peace commits
sioners of Japan and Russia have
come to an agreement. 1t means an
ending of the bloodshed and waste of
war. Japan valves some claims,
among them those for indemnity and
for the interned warships and Eimita-
ton of Russian naval power. These
latter claims were put in as make
weights and there will be little lost
to Japan by the waiver of them. The
question of indemnity to Japan is also
waived. Sakhalin will probably be
divided, Russia taking the northern
half. y
Japan's waiver of indemnity, thus
putting peace upon a higher basis
than that OF barter and sale, elevates
Japan to a high place among the ma
lions and will earn her statesmen the
praises of the civilized world. Russia,
shrewdly seeing the trend of public
feeling, practically assented to all Of
Japan's demands but the indemnity,
thus leaving it to be said that the
island kingdom was holding off for
money alone. Japan, seeing the trend
of public opinion, wisely decided not
to let the peace negotiations fail for
this cause alone. =.
JapanSs gain is substantial from the
war, She gets a practically suzerain-
ty of Korea. She becomes the lead
ing influence in Manchuria, from
which Russia retires. She gains Port
Arthur, with costly Notifications and
buildings. She gets a good part of
the railroad built by, the Russians
through Manchuria. She will get a,
fair compensation for the cost of
maintaining Russian prisoners and al
together the outcome Of the war is of
substantial benefit to her. She has
paid large price in men and money
but she has settled the Eastern ques-
ton for the time being and she has
gained assurances of the safety Of
her empire !
President Roosevelt, to whom more
than any other ruler, the making of
peace is due, is entitled to the
plaudits and praise of the world. He
brought the combatants together to
discuss peace. He stepped into the
breach when the negotiations were
threatened TO be broken of and con-
tinued them. He put forth bases Of
compromise which resulted in peace
being reached. He had a splendid
opportunity and awaited himself Of it,.
Today he is the most prominent hg-
