The proposed schedule for
this branch of the Great North
ern is meeting with strenuous
opposition from all of the towns
along the line. From what we
can learn Of the situation the dis
satisfaction does not only exist
among the business men. The
travelling men are very much
opposed to the change and the
farmers do not grow enthusiasts
tic over the prospect Of having
to leave their homes in the mid.
die of the night in order to catch
the east-bound trains. Fargo
papers are working overtime in
trying to convince us of the ben
efts to be derived but we fail tc
see the point-we are from the
state of Missouri.

The question of electric lights
and water works is one which
has often been discussed by the
citizens and business men of
Hope but until recently the sub
ject has been merely one of
speculation. The expense of
putting in a frstclass plant is
enormous and that fact alone has
had a tendency to discourage a
serious consideration, of the pro-
ject,, For various reasons, one
of which is the inefficient fire pro-
lection, the matter has again been
brought up and it is probable
that it will only be a question Of
time when the citizens of Hope
will becalled upon to decide for
or against an improvement of
this kind. There are many
things to be considered and it
will be well to thoroughly inves.
tigate the feasibility of the under
taking before putting the matter
before the people.

The following. from the India
napolis News is well worth re-
Numbering in these days of gang
rule and bossism: we must all
learn that the only way to keep.
political parties clean and honest
is to refuse utterly to follow them
when they go wrong. There will
be no improvement as long as the
managers and bosses are able to
count on support no matter who
the candidate is or what are the
principles at issue. Philadelphia
and Pennsylvania are what they
are because and only because,
good and honest men have per-
sisted in voting the party ticket
simply for the reason that it was
the party ticket. Why should
the gang nominate good men
when it knows that the voters
will support bad menquiteas ear
nestly and loyalty? Theonly ques-
tionwitht the gangi can
succeed in getting the bad men
elected. Thus it is that blind
partisanship corrupts and en-
feebles the very party itself"

The shortage of cars still con-
tinues to harrass the farmers
who are anxious to market their
crops. Why this should be SO
is a conundrum, as the terminals
are full of empty cars and some
of the terminal elevators have

THE PUBLIC LAND FRAUDS.

Richard Hamilton Byrd.

Three men went out west to seek
their fortunes. One located in the
Middle West-not the Middle West,
perhaps, as it is generally known,
but the central section of the west
ern half of the United States-in the
desert country. He started his sue
cessful career by taking up govern
ment claim under the desert-land act.
He was in the cattle country-the
cow country-and he made his strike
in cattle.
His friend went further north, still
In the desert area, close to the Cana
took up government homestead
claim and commuted it.
The third man went into the far
northwest-the Oregon country of
Lewis and Clarke-and he took up a
government timber Calm. He located
in land where numbering was done.
And these three men became great
cattle and sheep and timber kings,
and incidentally landlords; and their
operations while widely different
were singularly similar. They filed on
their government claims and at the
earliest possible moment each man
proved up and sold OUT for cash to
larger land grabbers. And SO they
learned the mode and got their start
toward land grabbing themselves.
The desert entryman was supposed
under the law to live at least three
years on his 800 acres and to expend
during that period $500 in construct
ing irrigation bitches and other i'm
prOvements, and make it his home.
This was what was promised for the

Mr.. Kramer is Washington florist
with large experience in the flower
line, many new and interesting nov
elites having originated in his green
houses. Among the popular garden
roses which he produced are the
"Climhing Meteor climbing varie-
ty with large red blooms; champion
Of the World" Robert E. Lee" "F.
H: Kramer" and many other sorts
which have been sold to catalogue
houses and named by them. He has
just originated the climbing Ameri-
can Beauty which will probably be
listed by tlower-sellers next spring. He
recently exhibited in Washington the
"F. II. Kramer" carnation-a deep
pink sort-which many wellknown
florists have declared to be the equal
of either the Lawson" or "Fiancee."
He states that no plants of the

Comfort on Uncle Sans
Annie BrcaSf.

Cupid is one of the best recruiting
officers that Uncle Sam has" contided
one of the sergeants attached to the
recruiting headquarters. Back of
nearly every enlistment there is a
woman in the case. Lovers quarrels
chase Il lot of fine lads into the scrv-
ice. Your romantic youth gravitates
to the recruiting office after Il serious
break with his sweetheart as naturally
rs duck takes to water. 1t seems
TO him the most fitting way in which
to sacrifice himself when loves young
dream is apparently dispcllcd. Way
down in his heart he nurses the idea
of making his erstwhile inamorata
sad. and It's the army or navy. with
the possibility of death in battle. for
him. Again. other first class material
is recruited by the desire of young
fellows to sport a uniform before their
girls. In such cases Cupid does his
recruiting through vanity. But in both
ways he manages to fill up big gaps
in the ranks of Uncle Sans fighters
