A few citizens never lose an OPP
portunity to give our town and the
business men and people in it dig"
of some kind. Did you ever notice
that these people are class that
would not be much missed in any
community? A class who have
nothing to keep them here, but
stay because they want to stay?
A class who never did anything for
the town in which they live nor
anyone in it except them selves?
They never put their shoulders to
the wheel and help to raise it out
of the mire into which it might
have sunken. They never do any
thing but howl and find fault with
what others are doing. You will
find them in every town.

THE official call has been issued
for the sixteenth annual session of
the Trans-Mississippi commercial
congress. 1t is to be held at
Portland, Or, Aug. Is, II, Is and
10, Immediately preceding the
thirteenth national irrigation con-
gress, which meets in the same
hall on august 81, %, % and a.
Therefore, delegates and others
interested in the work of both
bodies, by arranging to spend the
days named, with the intervening
Sunday, in Portland, will be able
to attend all the meetings. The
attractive parts of the several pro-
grams are planned to occupy the
forenoons only, leaving the after
moons for sightseeing, excursions
into the romantic country around
Portland, etc.
The commercial interests which
the Trans-Mississippi congress was
organized to promote are vast and
varied. But at almost every point
they blend more or less perceptib1y
with those of the younger irrigat-
ion movement. So, while the
senior body continues to lay the
greatest stress upon ideas and pro-
iects looking to the expansion and
facilitation of trade, it finds the
advocacy of practically every one
of these leading up to or becoming
collateral with some of the numer-
Gus branches of effort to which the
irrigation movement lends itself;
like forestry, the improvement of
waterways, the peopling of the
deserts, through irrigation, with
population of producers and buyers,
etc.
There is room for an Infinite
variety of patriotic service along
the lines covered by either organ
ization; and SO influential have
both become upon legislative and
other action relating to the de-
velopment of the country that it
is very important that their coun-
sells should be well guided. The
governors, municipal and county
authorities and commercial bodies
authorized to appoint delegates
should take early action looking to
the representation of their con-
stituents by their ablest men, in
numbers up to the full limit al
lowed. Pioneer Press.

late Chippewa Indian reservation.
We deem it a great injustice TO the
residents of that part OF the state,
that they should be surrounded by a
forest reserve of 225, 900 acres of land,
which debars them from further de-
velopment and progress. If this i'm
mense tract of good agricultural land
was thrown open for settlement, 1t
afford homes to 1880 farmers which
would mean an addition to the popu-
lation of the northern part of the
state of about 1900 people. Looking
up this immense tract of land for eX,
| perimentati0n in forestry is working
an untold and incalculable damage to
the northern part Of the state AND
we firmly believe that the relief the
people have asked for should be grant.
ed. Therefore. we further resolve
that it is ohe duty of the Northwestern
/ Editorial association to raise its voice
in protest against this great injustice
and that we ask our delegation in con
gress to endeavor to assist in opening
the forest reserve to settlement.

MANY parents have boys who ex-
press a desire to quit school at an
early age and get to work earning
something. Many short-sighted
parents comply with. these wishes,
and allow their sons to leave school
when they have very little training.
The cash value of an education is
forcible illustrated, and reduced to
dollars and cents by LATE Young,
editor of the Des Moines Capital,
as follows: "The boys of Des Moines
who are tired of going to school,
should commit the following to
memory: The average educated
man gets salary of 81 1000 year.
He works 40 years, making a total
of $40, 900 in a lifetime. The aver
age day laborers gets $3.50 per day
300 days in year, or $3.50 per year.
In A years he earns $4,000. The
difference of 500, 900 equals the ed
ucatlon. To acquire this earning
capacity it takes twelve years at
school of 100 days each, or 2,16O
days. Divide 500, 900, the value of
an educution, by 2, $50, the number
of days required in getting it, we
find that each dav at school is
worth more than SO to the pupil. :"

EDITORS OUTING.
One of the Most Pleasant Trips
in its History.

1t was a jolly party of editors and
newspaper people that assembled in
ST. Paul on the morning of July 20
to attend the ninth annual outing of
the Northwestern Editorial Associat-
ion.
Through the kindness of the 500
line officials who had placed special
car at the disposal of the editors and
had sent along special represent
alive in the person of L. P. Green,
the genial advertising agent, tile
party was whisked through most
beautiful country, the first stop being
made at Alexandria, that charming
city where the editorial association
had its birth in August 1895.
Here the editors were met by city
officials and citizens and given ride
on the lakes Darling and Carlos. The
entire population, including several
hundred summer resorters turned out
to give the party a good time and
they succeeded most admirably. At
ter the ride on the lake fish fry was
given on the banks of Lake Darling
and fish never tasted better than on
this occasion. Senator Nelson, Con
slant Larson, president of the Com
mercial Club and Senator Ward spoke
after the repast and the gentlemen
were followed by President Pease Of
the Association, and A. G.. Bernard,
secretary. Senator Nelson said: "The
older / get, the more fully 1 appreci-
ate the country newspaper"--a COM
pliment appreciated by all.
The party left Alexandria at 1890
on the way to Winnipeg, arriving
there at ga. m. tile following morning
