FIGURING Mill
' ''' FOR BISMARCK
AN ENTERPRISE THE MERCHANTS
oFTHIs CITY OUGHT 70 TAKE
..'% < HOLD OF. q ~ y
RETURN TO CONDITIONS WHEN
IS "cLlMAx" FLOUR WAS MADE,
ADVISABLE,

Every new enterprise in a city helps
that city-it helps every one in that
city by helping the city, even though
it helps them in an indirect way.
Along this line of thought one is led
to recall the days when the old roller
mill was in operation and was grind
ing out that good old brand of
'fClimax" -four, than which there was
none better. When the merchants
wanted flour or feed they sent their
rigs to the mill,-just as now they
send them to the branch of foreign
company, and loaded up. The old
mill long since burned; it burned after
having passed into the hands of the
corporation from whom we now pur-
chase our flour, and which only had
an agent here, which meant that all
the profits went out of the city. Now
our flour is made in another mill be-
longing to this same foreign corpora
ton, in another city and is shipped in
here just as If we did not grow enough
and to spare of the best four-making
wheat right here in the Bismarck
neighborhood to supply all our wants,
and yet have some to ship. This is
not So. Our "Climax" -four was made
almost entirely of Burleigh county
wheat. The grade of that wheat has
not deteriorated in quality one jot
while the production of it has steadily
grown. Surprising there was mill in
this city which was turning out a
grade of flour equal to the original
brand of "Climax?" How many more
people are there now in Burleigh, Nc.
Lean and Emmons counties than there
were then and to what central point
are these districts tributary if not Bis
marck? There is plenty of outlet for
all the flour that local mill could
possibly grind and it would be a pay
ing proposition from the start-if
started right. It is quite probable
that no one would care to go in single
handed and try to fight for a living In
the milling business in this city with
one of the mills of the Missouri Valley
Milling company as close as Mandan
but there are other means. The mer-
chants of this city can circumvent
this state of affairs if they would. Let
the merchants who handle -four, feed
and such products join together and
build mill, employ a good miller and
turn out a good, first-class product
with the determination of making it
as good, and of putting it on the
market for as reasonable a price as
any similar product and to handle no
like-product of foreign mills and the
question is solved. There is no rea.
sonable excuse that city the size of
Bismarck has to offer for the absence
OF such an enterprise as first-class
flour mill.

treatment of leguminous plants es-
pecially such as peas, beans, clover
and alfalfa. Much can be said on this
subject but briefly, its purpose is to
prepare storage on the roots Of the
plants to hold the nitrogen extracted
from the air by the vines. These bac-
terra produce growth of nolules or
bulbs on the vines that fill UP with
nitrogen and are left in the soil to
decay and distribute the nitrogen to
the soil, which has been proven to be
superior to the application of an ordi-
nary amount of barn manure. These
bacteria also increase the yield of
crops. -" }:E-f ~

New Orleans and the Canal.

In procuring materials to be used in
the construction of the Panama canal
the commission has decided that ship
ments shall be made from San Fran
cisco, New York and New Orleans
only. New York and San Francisco
have the advantages of old established
lines of steamers, both connecting
with the Panama railroad, and both
now practically owned by the United
States. New Orleans has no such
line, and until the trade between New
ed it can have none. Shippers of ma
.terials take advantage of fruit steam
ers returning empty to the isthmus.
The New Orlans board of trade
therefore asks that some of the steam
ers plying between Colon and New
York be diverted to New Orleans,
which is 500 miles nearer Colon than
New York. A regular line will be
established between Colon and New
Orleans later on, but at present such a
line would not be self-sustaining. New
Orleans therefore asks that the gov.
eminent open the way. This Is certain
ly a reasonable request. and it should

SIX BEST BOOKS OF APRIL.

The Lounger in the May Critic.
/ have had a number of letters in re-
gard to the list of best books publish
ed in the April number of The Critic.
Most of my correspondents agree that
the list could not have been improved
upon. Others insist that THE Garden of
Allah should have been included in the
six best novels. And another enthusiastic
correspondent would add Pam" to the
list. and still another says Paths of
Judgment by all means' | admit THE
Garden of Allah" and Paths of Judg-
ment," for it is an unusual book, but
I am not so sure about Pam clever
as it Is.
OF the publications, fact or fiction, pub
llshed since the April Critic went to press
in the opinion of the group of readers who
made the previous list published in this
department the six best books are:
1.-The Autobiography of Andrew D..

There has been no epoch-making book
of fiction published in the last few weeks,
but there have been some notable books
that are not fiction, the most imoprt-
and of these being Mr. Whites Autobio-

LOUISVILLE 8 NASHVILLE
Offer to Buy on Per Cent Basis the
Atlantic Coast Line.

From the Wall Street Journal
Boston-the preliminary papers which
have been signed to give Louisville and
Nashville stockholders an opportunity OF
getting per cent upon their stock prob
ably relate to banking negotiations for
the issue of bonds to take up Louis
Vile and Nashville minority shares upon
a per cent basis
A stakeholder says Large minority
holders inNashvile, Chattanooga and st.
Louis were offered a per cent guar
antee upon their stock, but they de
cllned and made a counter proposition
that as s. per cent had been accumulated
while dividends had been suspended a
fair proposition was first 30 per cent
stock dividend and then per cent upon
the shares. There has been no trade
here yet. but Louisville and Nashville
people secured privately additional blocks
of Nashville. Chattanooga and st. Louis
for cash.
II have reason to believe that an of
fer will be made to buy Louisville and
Nashville shares on a per cent basis,
possibly by giving 200 in S1a per cent
bonds of Atlantic Coast Line. 1t would be
dangerous to attempt per cent lease
of Louisville and Nashville with the At
lantlc Coast Line owning $l6ooO,o00 out of
$50. 900 coo.
NO court in the world would permit
the majority stockholders to make such
lease terms to themselves, but nothing
could prevent the Atlantic Coast Line
people offering to buy the stock at any
hot he r

COL. RUSSELL AND THE SENATE

From the Washington Post
Col Edward l.. Russell of Mobile. for
mer president of the Mobile and Ohio
railroad and now its general counsel, is
a guest of lie Raleigh. F or years Col
onel Russell has not only ranked with
the ablest lawyers of his state, but he
has been one of the foremost men in the
dem acratic party and in the last national
convention headed the delegates at large
from Alabama. In 1896 he was one of
the wv railroad men of prominence in
any part CT the country who gave sup
port &c Coisnel Bryan's candidacy, and
this he did not because he believed in
the Net, askan's theory of finance, but
for the sake of party loyalty.
II has been freely predicted by friends
OF Colonel Russell that he will at no

Senate. Ro.b the ga senators are

probable that either will seek another

This drift leads away from strikes

Alabama Cement.

The sale of some state lands on the
Alabama river, about forty miles
above Mobile, is an indication that
wide-awake manufacturers of true
Portland cement are studying the gov
eminent report prepared by Prof. Eu-
gene A Smith relative to the cement
rocks of this state. The new company
prefers the st. Stephens limestone to
the Selma chalk. The former contains
an abundance of lime, while the latter
is thought to contain enough lime to-
gether with enough clay. But the new
investors have given the preference TO
the rock richer in lime, Given lime
in sufficient quantities marls or clays
can be added without great cost.
They are near at hand.
DR.. Smith government report should
be scattered far and wide, for they
show beyond doubt or controversy
that Alabama contains more high
grade cement rock than Michigan and
Pennsylvania combined, the two lass
named states being the chief sources
of true Portland cement in this coun-
try. Every cement plant can, too, be
placed on river nayigable the year
round, thus enabling producers to
place their product at tidewater at
the lowest possible cost.
The new plant on the Alabama
river proposes to get to work in
time to catch the Panama trade 1t
should do a little better than that,
unless indeed it intends to supply the
contractors on the canal with cement,
and the Pacil9 trade afterwards. But
whatever its plans may be, it is the
beginning af movement that will yet
render Alabama the chief seat of pro-
duction of true Portland cement in
this country. The cement rock OF
Alabama may yet Guido her iron ores
in value and productiveness.
