'FORESTERS ARE
NON PRE- PAIRING
Continued from page one.

There will likely be at least two
hundred delegates in town on the
eleventh of June, to attend the sun
day event. and to take part in the
parade, which will be record breaker
in fraternal celebrations. At least,
eur local members promise US that
much, and they are fairly good pro-
pheSs in forecasting what they helped
bring about.
ST. John Court has been boosting
and hustling with thousand details.
Il has been hammering railroad rates
down until they look like compliment
tary tickets, and it has been fixing
things for an event that will place New
Ulm stock away up toward the top on
the convention exchange wherever
that is.
This gathering will be the seventh
biennial convention of the Minnesota
State Jurisdiction, and our own st.
John Court is going to have charge of
all details. This court, We may add.
will be eight years of age on the
twentieth of June and it is certainly a
healthy infant it years may be taken
as a guide. The members of our local
lodge have been hustling for the pre-
paration of this convention. They
have been securing quarters for the
visitors and they have induced the
Minneapolis & ST. Louis railway to
reduce the round trip rates from the
Twin cities to $3.50, while the other
roads entering New Ulm are also
down on the low excursion rate list.
The departure of the passenger trains
from the Twin cities to this place has
beenleft to the people of Minneapolis
and st. Paul SO that the time may not
in convenience any great number of
those wishing to attend. In fact, it is
going to be easy to come and go, and
the good time the visitors will have
while they are here will be sufficient
evidence that st. John Court is as
able at entertaining as at promoting
its own growth.
All citizens, all business men, every-
body who has New Ulm at heart will
be pleased to witness this great gather
ing. 1t will be a convention that will
be of invaluable aid to the city, and
1t will demonstrate the growth and
strength of the Foresters of which our
local court forms no inconsiderable
part.
Sunday evening the various courts
and the citizens of this city will be
addressed by bishops and priests by
an officer of the High Court of
Chicago and by the Chief Rangers of
North Dakota, Wisconsin and Iowa.
All these speakers are able men who
will handle interesting topics in their
addresses.
The members of St. John Court de-
serve the hearty support of thecitizens,
whether in the order or not. They
very likely will have that support, but
let. us not lose sight of the fact that
they should undoubtedly have it.
Were our citizens to spend $40, 900
advertising the town, they could not
scatter a more favorable impression
to equal the one they will spread
through the delegates to this
convention.

In March l26,0o immigrants land
ed in this country, against $4,000 in
March, 1904, and $4,000 in March,
1893. The March arrivals this year
included 10000 Russians. So far the
expectation of 100000 immigrants
this year is fully warranted by the
figures.

The failure OF the Commercial Union
to secure the appointment of a park
commission independent of the city
councilhas not daunted the progressive
business men of the city and now the
Retail Merchants association has
taken matters up and is attempting to
accomplish the same thing. The idea
is to have a commission created com.
posed of men whose duty it will be tc
look after the park interests of the city
and not be hampered by election OF
other influences and who will be mer
capable of giving intelligent direction
to these affairs. The merchants have
rightly concluded that such BODY
can better handle the park interests
than a committee Of councilmen and
the Review is of the opinion that they
are right and that the best interests Of
the parks deserve a permanent com.
mission.

Many People Coming to Lewistown
and the Adjacent Camps.
Travel in and out of Lewistown con-
tinues very heavy and the hotels and
rooming houses are filled with trans
tents all the time. A large proportion
of the arrivals are interested in one
way or another in the adjacent MIN
ing camps, and the stage lines ale
well patronized. Many Of those COM
ing in are looking for business loca.
tons, either in this city or the camps,
having been attracted by the reports
of the rapid development of this Sec
ton. Some have come in, too, for
the purpose of looking at farming
land, and although the season Is not
favorable for such missions, those
who come are evidently pleased with
the outlook. The permanent pop'lla.
ton of Lewistown is constantly being
added to, and the demand for houses
is quite unprecedented for this time
of the year. There are practically no
desirable houses to be had just now.
although number are in course of
construction, and will soon be ready
for occupancy. These are nearly all
spoken for in advance, but the con-
tinued activity in the building line
would indicate that the supply will
soon nearly equal the demand.

what surprised last Thursday to hear
that there was wedding in town. 1t
was soon located at the residence OF
l.. Coryell. Mr.. F. f. Carr, of Trout
creek, and Mrs. Putnam, of Moore
being the contracting parties. The
usual charivari party was quickly
formed. lest the couple might give
them the slip before evening. After
few minutes bombardment the
boss" responded with a box of Ha-
vanas and some candies.
Rev. A. B. Sheldon, OF Beaver creek
was business caller last Thursday
and Officiated at the Carr-Putman we'd
ding.
A telephone message from the coun-
ty board of health last Saturday gave
orders to discontinue all public gath.
erings within fifteen miles of Moore
until further notice. This was deem.
ed best to stop the further spread OF
smallpox. There are not SO many
cases now in the neghborhOOd OF
Rockford as there wele month or
So ago and none at Moore. The break
ing out of new cases at Mr.. Peters
and Mrs. Browns show that the dis
ease is not under control, and the or
der of the board should meet with the
approval of all and should be strictly
enforced.
The literary society south of town
has been discontinued until further no
tice. The society expects to meet
again after few weeks and will sure
ly have time to prepare a good pro
gram for the next session.

Wants the Parcel Post.
EditOr Arguc.


Moore, Mont, Jan. 20.--I have read
with interest the article in the last
issue of the Argus on the increase of
business at the postoffice showing the
amount of money sent out, together
with your comment on the practice
of the people of this and other coun-
ties tending money away for their
goods. 1t seems to me that such fig
ures should set some of our merchants
thinking and lead them to devise a
plan whereby they may keep a GER
tain amount of this money at home.
They surely cannot do 1t by charging
exorbitant prices for wares, and es-
pecially for machinery. l would like
to ask you if the ranch improvements
have kept pace with those of the city.
And why not? Because the rancher
and laborer have not received their
equal profit on their product and Ia
Dor. Would it not be natural for a
man, If he could save ten per cent on
his wearing apparel by sending away
for it, to do so? AS it has been here
tofore, the home merchants would
make the price on our products and
also on the necessaries of life. Now
we have a cash market for our pro-
ducts, and why should we not have
the right to buy where we can do the
best? Should we get the parcel post,
the business of the postoffice will
double by leaps and bounds, and don't
you forget it. SUBSCRIBER.

"'When prohibition went into effect

all the business which the saloons
bring, and the magnificent revenues
from them, would spring up into great

find that for once the newspaper men
were false prophets. The Minnesota
towns still have the saloons and the
revenue of from ten to thirty thous.
and dollars a year from them, but the
business, the growth, the prosperity,
have gone to the prohibition towns.
East Grand Forks, Minnesota, has
forty.two saloons. The assessed valu-
alton of all the property is $3S4,OOO,
with a bonded indebtedness of 25 per

critical last week that he decided to
undergo an operation as the only hope
of prolonging his life. 1t was believ-

"DoEs THE SALOON PAY?"
The Subject is Discussed by Rev.
Henry Quickenden.

Henry Quickenden.
In his discourse at the Presbyterian
church Sunday evening, Rev. Henry
Quickenden took up the saloon ques-
ton, and under the topic docs the
Saloon Pay?" discussed it at consid'
cradle length. Mr.. Quickenden said
in part:
"This discussion is pertinent to the
assertion that a wide open town
makes business good We grant the
assertion If the increased business re-
ferred to is that of the saloon keeper.
the jailer, the hospital, the poor house
and the undertaken. We submit that
meant that the business Of the grocer,
the lumberman ana the clOthier is in

recent restrictions of ~" city council
ought to receive the loyal support of
every patriotic citizen, regardless of
party affiliations.
Does it pay the patron of the drink
shop? Two hundred thousand dollars
was the amount Appropriated by bus
mess men as having passed through
Lewistown saloons last year. What
have patrons to show tor their expen-
diture? Has their health been increas-
ed, their property appreciated? Some
can show blood, tears, rags and degre-
dation. With that 100000 in one
year we could build six handsome pub
lie buildings-churches, libraries or
gymnasiulns, and with $4,000 we
could meet our LewistOwn school de-
felt that now threatens the closing
of educational privileges to hundreds
of our coming citizens. Ten thousand
dollars to run all the churches OF the
town, 100000 to run the salons.
Where is the value received from
the saloons?
Does it pay the man who sells groc-
cries, or clothing or lumber? Super
fetal observers say it does. Let us
see. Do the men who spend the $780,
900 in the saloons have it to spend for
the above necessaries? You reply
that the two hundred men dependent
upon the saloon business have it to
spend. But can that, even in small
measure, compensate for the loss of
custom from the far greater number of
possible patrons and debt payers who
have dumped their earnings in the Sa-
loon, and have been OftentimeS inca
phCildIcu AOI Aull wage cdIull6.
ITO say that the saloon makes bus.
mess good is like saying that to burn
100000 worth of Fergus county S
wheat crop each year would improve
business conditions. You see their
logic? 1t would require a fire depart
ment to put it out, salvage corps
to gather up the charred grain to feed
to hogs. more carpenters to rebuild
the granaries, and more lumber saw
ed to put into them. and more men
to SOW and increase acreage next year
You see how it makes business good
to set fire to our granaries. Let's
burn the whole crop next time. In
stead of the fire department, the sal
wage corps, etc., put their correspond
ing terms-ministers, schools. hOspit
ais, jails, bartenders and undertakers
and you have the logic that makes
the saloon business helpful to the com
munity.
