How Residents Of a Western COmmu.
nifty Are Booming Their Town.


almost any town can be doomed and
built up If its residents will put lit
tie brains and money in the effort, "
said the president Of western board
Of trade recently. Take some Of the
towns in this part Of the country, for
instance. which have been growing
rapidly in the last few years.. The
residents of these communities are not
asleep and letting things run them
selves, but they are up and doing all
the time and losing no opportunity to
make the most Of every chance that
presents itself. Not only that, they are
reaching out after chances and have
landed more than one good thing.
Zone progressive western town that
l have In mind, and that I will call
Blankville, has attracted much bust
ness and many desirable residents by
means Of writeups in the newspapers.
This is an excellent plan, as capitalists
and others are continually on the look
out for desirable towns in which to
locate. Here is the way the progress
i've people Of Blankville call attention
to the advantages of their town:
Blankyille is inhabited by ener-
getic and enterprising citizens who are
thoroughly alive to the interests Of
the town and community. They join
heartily in any enterprise that tends
to advance these interests. They want
manufacturers to locate in their midst
and are prepared to offer substantial
and liberal inducements to secure them.
Any one seeking location for any
kind of manufacturing plant in
operation and the proper encourage
ment on the part Of its citizens. They
are united and public spirited in pub
lie enterprises as well as in other mat
tiers.
"'Splendid railroad and shipping
facilities, cheap lands, plenty Of wa
ter, an abundance Of cheap fuel
and a mild, salubrious climate are
some of the inducements offered.
The advantages afforded by the
two lines of railroads in the competi-
tive freight rates are items In the
transportation Of products and sup
plies that cannot be overlooked. The
cheapness of lands for factory sites
and homes for employees should also
demand attention. An ample supply
of cheap fuel and an exceedingly
healthy location are features that
should not be passed over lightly

q SeRIO COMIC AFFAIR.
County Attorney BOner Looks Down
the Barrel Of a six Shooter.

the Barrel Of q six Shooter.
One of those funny mistakes that
sometimes occur happened in Aberdeen
last Sunday night. and it vas not un'
alloyed fun for couple Of the parties.
When Rev. +. r. Prichard and family
lett week ago for Portland, daughter,
Miss Carrie, who is nurse at the Aber'
deem General hospital, was: given the
keys of the house, with request 10 &C.
casionally look after things at the manse,
but her father failed to mention the fact
that he had requested County Attorney
Boner to occupy one Of the bed rooms
during their absence, so that the house
would not be unoccupied at night. The
failure to inform Mics Prichard of this
arrangement was the means of giving
that young lady the time OF her lie on
Sunday night. q.
Miss Carrie went up to the house in
the early evening, and, after playing on
the piano awhile was in quiet meditation.
When she entered the house the young
lady left the keys in the door on the out
side, and presently was startled to hear
somebody fumbling at the door. Run
ming back to the kitchen, Mss Carrie
heard someone enter the front door aud
walk up stairs. BY this time her fright
ened condition may better be imagined
than described. She heard mans loot
steps in the second floor bed room, and
soon listened to his shoes dropping on the
floor, and later the bed squeak as though
he was retiring.
BY this time Miss Prichard was too
frightened to M w. That a burglar
should so boldly enter the house and re-
tire, was sure indication that he knew
it was vacant, and she well knew that to
reveal her presence by the slightest noise
was to bring his vengenancee upon her
head. There she stood in the center OF
the kitchen, leaning on chair, afraid
to sit down or move. Meanwhile a
couple OF hours passed, and Carrie deter
mined on a bold stroke for liberty. On
her hands and knees she made her way
to the front door, only to find it locked
fast. Back to the kitchen and to her old
position seemed all there was to do, and
there she remained until the clock struck
two, a. m. Qnietly raising the kitchen
window, she crawled out; climbed over
the fence, and ran all the way to the
Aberdeen General hospital, where che
fell exhausted to the fl Dor
As soon as she recovered sufficiently
to tell what was the matter, DR.. omlts
was awakened, and decided to investl'
gate the burglar, The doctor, Mr..
Tambly and officer Searles went up to
the manse. accompanied by Miss Prich'
ard The officer, Mr.. Tamblyn and Miss
Prichard entered the house by the open
window, while DR., SHIFTS stood guard

Value of Good Schools.

When a manufacturer contemplates
locating in a town one Of the first in
quiries he makes is concerning the
towns school facilities. In nine cases
out Of ten he has family Of children,
and where he goes they must go, and
where his factory Is located they must
be educated. II the town has schools
that are the pride and that have the

meets the fact is often the means Of
largely influencing him to locate.

DUKES FOR PEACE

st. Petersburg, April 5.-A meeting
Of all of the members of the grand
ducal circle was held in the palace of
the Grand Duke Vlsadimir, at which
the czar was present and at which the
question Of war or peace was thorough
ly discussed.
A majority of those present favored
the beginning Of peace negotiations,
but the Grand Duke Vladimir and his
intimate associates stated that in their
opinion it would be far better to con-
tinuethe fighting at least for the pres.
emit. This view apparently met the
approval of the czar, who, in an i'm.
passionate speech, declared that he
could not conceive how any Russian
would be willing to abandon the filed
to an army that could yet be conquered.
Another conference is planned TO,
the near future.
The newspaper Slove, which is usu'
ally inspired by the Grand Duke Alex
ander Michaelovitch, prints an article
in which it sets forth the necessity fol-
immediate peace in order to give Rus
STA time for the preparation of a new
and successful campaign. The news
paper declares that Russia must ulti
mtaely defeat Japan, retake Port Ar
