Tomatoes Make Money for w. II.
Mann,

81 believe that if a man would
plant forty acres to tomatoes
and could sell them for dollar
q bushel he could clean up in q
year fully $4,000 from the field.
That's what l think about rails
ing tomatoes in North Dakota.
The above was a remark made
to an INDEPENDENT representa-.
tive by w. H. Mann, the gar
dener.
"Why, this year have a hun
dred bushels yet to sell, and will
close them out at sixty cents a
bushel next week. I have sold
$500 worth OF garden truck this
year already and have sixty
tons Of hay which | put up. l
make good deal of money each
year in the horse business too,'
he remarked. Mr.. Mann may be
seen in town nearly every day
with a big load Of vegetables.
which he disposes OF easily in
half a day.

Give the Boy a Show.

Bowbells' juvenile robber, Theo.
Hoffman, ten years of age, stole watch
from the vest Of we'll driller, sold it to
stranger for s1.4O, was arrested and
bound over to the district court under
$500, and taken to the Jail in Minot.
The three Hoffman boys are naturally
bad and more to be pitied than blamed.
Two of the brothers would have been
sent to the reform school for crimes, but
for the fact that they were taken into
good homes after committing those
crimes. The reform school stares little
Theodore in the face, yet we believe
that if taken into some good home, he
would yet be man. a credit to a com.
munity. An effort should be made to
give the little fellow show for he has
never had one in all of his life.

which will soon be erected. The
plans for the viaduct call for a
structure % feet in the clear, but
it is unnecessary to build it $50
high. BY lowering it a little the
approaches can be made 100

KEAvIN's

Amid Large Crowds Of Shoppers =
Keavin Is Not Afraid Of Printers Ink
and Expects 10 Cure Many Of the T,
N. Roberts Fever.
The big Keavin's Department Store,
true to its promise, opened in an aus
picious manner Saturday morning
promptly at 8 o'clock. Mr.. .Keavin and
his large force of clerks had but short
time to unpack the large stock ofgoods,
mark them and arrange them. But
they worked night and day, getting a
wink Of sleep now and then. Their
work was for some purpose however for
when the doors were thrown open Satur-
day the large crowds who attended the
sale wore greeted by very pretty sight
indeed. The big store is admirably
arranged and the fine line Of new goods
was tastefnlly displayed. Each depart
msnt was provided with several clerks
and they were all rushed until late At
night. It is estimated that several
times during tho day . hundred or moro
were in tho big emporium at once-and
they usually bought freely.
To run store Of this magnitude in
Minot is certainly big undertaking.
Mr.. Keavin has full confidence in his
ability to make complete success Of it,
as he has confidence in the field OF
operation. He realizes that Minot is a
center and that hs must depend to .
considerable degree to business outside
of Minot. He states he can discount
the mail order houses on prices and
quality and will do his share towards
breaking the people of the West of tie
T. NJ. Roberts habit. He will atteml t
to bring new business to Minot by good
sensible advertising and in that manner
should do most satisfactory business.
The big store is a credit to growing
Minot.

A KAMAAINA'S
VIEWS OF HILO

One of the best known men in the
Territory is Aug. Drier, retired sugar
planter, for years resident of Kauai,
but more recently of Honolulu. He is
here for recreation and has been spend
a couple of weeks at the crater with
his wife.
II remember old Hilo," he said to
representative of the Herald at Hotel
Demosthenes yesterday, but it is not
the Hilo of today. note many
changes, of course but they were to
be expected. l have been laying off
at the Volcano House and find it
most comfortable place where one may
keep out of the way of business and
get plenty of good things to eat. 1t is
quiet spot, just the place 1 have
been looking for an age because 1
can be entirely free from care and
can not be found by people with good
things to promote
Mr.. Drier is the largest individual
stockholder in the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Co. and is considered as
one of the shrewdest and most con-
servative business men in the Terri
tory. With Mrs. McBryde he owned
valuable sugar plantation at Eleele
which he successfully managed for a
number of years until McBryde was
organized and his plantation was pur-
chased by that company and included
in its holdings. He has not engaged
in active business since then but keeps
close watch on the plantations in
which he may have an interest. When
1t was suggested that an additional,
and larger steamer on the route be-
tween Honolulu and Hilo would mean
much for the company and for Hilo
Mr., Drier said: "I can see the need
for 1t and we may put one on. I have
been looking into the matter and will
say that I believe a better steamer is
needed and you may get 1t after
awhile"
Mr.. Drier and wife will return to the
Volcano House this morning.-Hawaii
