CINE and will keep on trying until
one is found that will do the work.
We have had all kinds of trouble
until we secured our present en-

nearly a year ago, we have had no
trouble, with but one exception,
and that was our own fault. But
the gasoline engine is Il peculiar

Usury Law consrtued.

The Supreme Court Of the state
has construed an important section
of the law relating to usury and
the penalties therefor. A:mah who
had borrowed money fr'om;;a bank
under a usurious contract, brought
suit to recover the usuripis:amount
and double the interest," paid, az is
provided by the law Of the: state.
The argument was made that the
plaintiff could recover only double
the amount charged usurioasly,that
is. in excess of. what *pnld have
been legal interest. ThesSupreme
Court holds, however, that the law
is intended to mean twice; the en-
tire amount of interest and sustains
a verdict awarding the plaintiff the
full amount sued for. This is a
clear declaration and should serve
as a warning to those whose cupid
ity tempts them to the making of
usauurious contracts with l b.oorTTowess.

In the last issue of the Mandan
Pioneer, Editor futile, who goes to
Portland, Ore. to take charge of DR..
Goes Sanitarium, says
"On many accounts, it is wiSh
sincere regret that Inform the
renders of the Pioneer that for bus
mess reasons, 1 am soon to leave
Mandan, and take UP my residence
in Portland, Oregon: It is impos-
sible that one should live in a COM
munity for twenty-five years and be
largely interested in many business
enterprises without making many
close friends, the severing Of which
necessarily causes regret. But
there come times in ones life, when
such changes are imperative. Since
being in Mandan, 1 have seen the
state, the county and the city grow
in a gratifying manner, and it is a
great pleasure to realize that have
done my share toward their devel-
opment.
prosperity has smiled upon the
Pioneer and it's managers, and I
have shared in the general pros
perity that has attended the efforts
of all earnest workers in this com.
munity during the past twenty-five
years. Of all the former residents
of Mandan who have gone else
where to live, none will speak in
higher praise than I shall, of its
people, its resources, and it's adj
vantage. North Dakota and the
Missouri Slope have a great future
and it is gratifying for me to know
that the management of the Pho
neer is left in able and energetic
hands to continue its good work.
It will in the future, as we'll as in
the past. stand for public progress
and no fear need be entertained
that it will ever cease. tta.ssbe the

GOOD A

Thenew year beginswith hope
full financial outlook, says Henry
Clews. As shown in detail in oul
ANNUAL Review, both the agricult
ural and industrial situations art
exceptionally sound and promising
In both of these great divisions Of
industry, the conditions which pre-
vail are conducive to continued
prosperity, chiefly because produc-
ton has not yet overtaken Goa
sumption; the only exception of
consequence being the enormous
crop of cotton resulting from last
years excessively high prices. Our
principal basis of prosperity, how
ever, is still in the soil, and the
whole country is experiencing the
stimulus Of a profitable harvest.
Trade, too, is exceptionally sound,
and merchants in nearly all sections
Of the county are doing a large
and satisfactory business, and the
situation was never SO healthy and
promising as at present.
While these conditions last, it is
useless to expect any very serious
decline in the stock market. Prices
are certainly high and possibly even
above intrinsic merit; but it will be
difficult to induce anyprolongedsel
ling movementwhen matchmaking
spirit in, business circiessis one<of
we'll grounded hopefulnes. Assoon
as unfavofab1e developments of an
important nature occur we may ,ex.
pect a. downward stock movement.
The financial situation has many
elements of strength. The invest
ment demand for bonds is still good
in spite Of the heavy amounts alb
sorbed during the last two months.
Here is a basis of confidence that
naturally affects the entire market,
and is the healthiest symptom OBJ
servable from bankers standpoint.
The January disbursements will be
larger than usual, and this means a
further demand Of the same char
acter. Money is easy and album
dant, and this also is a bullish fac
tor and will remain SO as long as
stocks command returns SO much
better than money, as they now do.
