Please don't hint business depres:
sion to me. Perhaps just for the mo.
ment, slight slackoess may be nottc-
ed but it will be only for. the moment:
The great Northwest is too big, its in
terest too great, it's resources too gig
antic, its reserve too large, for bust
ness stagnation, at any stage of the
game. A partial failure of crops,
caused by high water and heavy rain
falls, might o :cur in certain localities,
but the whole will come to the front
with just as big averages as usual.
Business enterprises are getting alto
gether too sensitive on the subject of
prospects, and more courage is neces-
ssry. Every i'll wind that blows does
not strike but few, and there is no
need OF borrowing trouble before it

MAYNARD BLIND PIG COMES TO GRIEF
At the village election held last
March Maynard decided by an over:
whelming majority that no saloons
should be tolerated within it's borders
for the period of one year. In accord

he even abandoned his hatred for for
the temperance cranks of the village
and had come to believe that no Ii.
cense was the only logical solution of
the liquor problem after all. Thus
matters stood one day when Mr.. Hauge
was surprised to see the sheriff, the
village police authorities and the
members of the council come march
ing into his place of business in a
body. These worthy representatives
of the people At once demanded an in
terview with him, stating that they had
reason to believe that he was conduct

disposing of Intoxicating liquors with
out license and contrary to the ex-

of the village. After some parleyi ing
the interview was granted and as a
result of it the sheriff removed from
the place more than one thousand dol
lars worth of bar fixtures and liquors
and in addition to this he also took
Mr.. Hauae into custody. The 'confis-
Gated liquors were destroyed and the
bar fixtures will be sold at a public
auction tomorrow. Mr.. -Hauge plead
