The Polite Rurman.

In the cities of Burmd, where the
natives have been long in contact with
Europeans, says the author of Bur
ma, Painted and Described" they have
lost some of their traditional polite
ness, but in the country districts old
school courtesy is still the custom. An
English gentleman who had bought a
new pony was trying him out. on a
Burman road when the animal bolted
and ran at top speed down n narrow
road. In the way ahead was a native
cart, in which was family party out
holiday making. The pony dashed into
the back of the cart, threw his rider
into the midst of the merrymakers and
severely injured the Burman who was
driving. Before the Englishman had
an opportunity to explain his uneXpect-
ed onslaught the Burman picked him
self up and bowed low. "My lord,
my lord" he said apologetically, ''the
cart should not have been there"

BOstOa Wool Market.

The market is extremely strong and
there is unqucstionably a better tone to
the situation. Dealers are very firm on
all their holdings. This strong position,
eve with only a moderate demand, may
be attributed to several causes. First,
the strength developed throughout the
London auctions which closed Thursday;
second, the successful opening of goods
in New York, and third, the compare
lively light stocks of suitable wool now
available.
The London position is simplya refec-
ton of Europe's need of wool. The
French, German and Russian mills are
entering ON an era of prosperity, greater
than for three or four years, and that,
too, with small supplies of the raw ma
terial. Not for some time have those
mills been SO we'll occupied.
The territory %sheepmen are elated and
happy owe the strong position of Lon
don as we'll as Boston. Their views on
prices are still what eastern operators
call extreme. Considering the general
situation in all its phases, the question
may naturally arise, "Are they really
cxlremc?' The advances in London,
Australia and South America raise the
possibilities of higher values in America.
The question is one for the Boston wool
merchants and those from other markets
to determine. AS far as the grower is
concerned, the situation is giving him no
cause for worry. He has money in the
bank, and can easily borrow it from the
banks if necessary. 1t is only three
months to clip time, and the period
dangerous to sheep may be said to have
passed. The wool is now too we'll grown
to be affected materially by any condi.
tons that might arise. Prices are being

City Franchise.

This week the city council gave the
Ist and and reading to the Interstate
Electric Light and Telephone Co. fran
chise ordinance. and it is noted that the
council adjourned subject to the call of
the mayor.
The ordinance asks for a franchise for
80 years and the maximum rates, both
for telephone and lighting, are higher
than what are being charged in the city
at the present time.
There are many stories aloat about
this ordinance, and what the PRESS
would like to know is who is behind the
deal and what it all means? 1t may be
that the men behind the scenes do not
have my intention of establishing an
electric lighting plant in Dickinson, and
that it is merely a blind to get tele-
phone franchise. If such is the case it
is probable that the Northwestern Tele-
phone Co. is behind the move, desiring
to get this connecting point. This COM
pany, through l. p. Baker and Alexan-
dar Mckenzie, built a line the past year
from Bismarck to Jamestown, and it is
definitely known that the company de-
sires to get its system extended west.
People who live in the big cities know
that telephone service is not cheap and
that where there is dual service business
men are forced to buy Of two concerns.
We do not want this; we do not want a
big monopoly, neither do we want to
give any corporation a 3o-year fran.
chise.
Our aldermen should get thoroughly
posted on the proposed ordinance and
every citizen should make it his business
to look into the matter.
W. cannot think that aldermen, hav-
ing the interest of Dickinson at heart,
will allow this ordinance to be taken up
and rushed through on its grid reading.
1t would not be right. The people want
to know what is up, and if there is a
w%oodchuck somewhere, let him be ex-
posed.
The PRESS will make an effort to find
out the true situation before another
issue. In the meantime let the business
men and everybody interested in the
welfare of the city see what they can
find out. Ask people who have lived In
larger places about dual telephone SER
vice.
Just before going to press we were
able to see Alderman Dehlinger, COM
mi,tee on ordinances, and secured a
copy of the ordinance, which may be
seen at this office.
