The trouble with this philosophy is

bounty from any source without tacit

the role OF migrate. Absolute indie

visited the Red river valley, and said:
sit will be hard to find as large con-
nected body Of good land elsewhere on
the continent, where the best food Of
man can be SO readily produced, as in
the Red river valley. The poorest land
anywhere to be found in Minnesota or

Cass county, North Dakota, in this
famous valley, has more than made

Fine homes on the farms are the rule.
Fargo, the county seat, is the CONNER
cial metropolis of the Red river valley,
and the largest city west of Duluth,
northwest Of Minneapolis, and east OF
Butte, Mont.
! It has the best railroad connections
Of any city in the valley; the third lar,
gest machinery trade of any City In the
United States, irrespective OF size; the

street railway, II miles Of paved
streets, l6 miles of water mains and Il
miles of sewers. The city is lighted by
electricity and gas:
Fargo is proud of its educational syss

which was current 30 years ago about
Judge John Mattocks, who was broad
minds the editor of this paper Of the
times when he used to report cases In
the Chttenden county court for the Free
Press and had Il seat close in front OF

ing the conferences between the judges.
Judge Milo l.. Bennett, who had 20 cleo
was commonly the presiding judge. and
the colloquies between the judges some
times went about as follows: a wit
ness being under cross-examination, the
lawyer for the defendant objects to his
answering a particular question and ar
CUES that no rule of law would permit
the interrupted answer to be admitted as

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.

1t is now thought by the outside
watchers Of the Portsmouth conference
that it's negotiations may be protract-
ed for three weeks. The plenipoten-
tiaries are taking up the Japanese
propositions one by one. NJ. Witte is
quoted as saying:
AT the rate of two days for each
clause. we shall expend twenty-four
days in arguments and then be in the
exact position that we are to-day"
The Russian envoy thus admitted
that there were twelve conditions in
the Japanese note. He added. as re-
ported: Our aim is either peace or
arrive at the former result. so that
the shedding of blood of another one
hundred thousand men may be avoid
ed, especially as this conflict does not
affect only Russia and Japan. for
am convinced that should this war
continue other nations will be in
volved." Mr. witte added ION the
Russian side the question of an armis-
tice has been proposed" NJ. witte
may not be true prophet in predict
ing that no progress will be made in
the discussions.
The New York Tribune's correspon-
cnt says that Russia will not refuse
to pay an indemnity based on the cost
of the war to Japan; but will ask to
be credited with the cost Of the Man
churian railway. with the value Of the
Notifications at Port Arthur and of the
elaborate and expensive public build
ings and improvements at Dalny.
II can understand" said M. Witte,
the Americans. the English, the
French and Germans. but 1 cannot I'M
derstand the Japanese"
Perhaps he will understand them
better before the conference breaks
up.
