dependent, with the agricultural in
terests as the foundation. Pennsyl-
vania will always be one sided and
therefore abnormal commonwealth be-
cause it must pay a heavy tribute to
the other parts Of the country which
supply its millions with food. 1t has
more people than it can support with
out the assistance Of other sections.
1t can never develop its agricultural
resources beyond where they now are
because the limits of this class of in
dustry are fixed by nature.
1t was against conditions similar to
these which President Hill warned the
people Of Montana. The time has come
in our industrial progress when it is
an essential element of business that
interdependent industries be in close
proximity to each other. The farmers
of the northwest have paid heavy tri-
butte to the coal fields of Pennsylvania
in order to procure the fuel necessary
to protect them from the rigors of
our climate. Had our own supply
been utilized it would have saved the
people of the state millions of dollars.
If Montana was prepared to raise all
the food consumed by the miners en-
ployed in the state it would add mil
lions to the wealth of the state. This
is one of the suggestions contained in
the Great Falls speech.
Conversely there is a lesson for
North Dakota in the state statement.
The wonderful fertility of our soil has
caused an acknowledgment of our
agricultural resources compared with
our industrial and instead of there
being crying demand for the food
| to supply our non-producing class
there is demand for class to con-
sumo our surplus products and give
JUS consuming market nearer home,
and especially one for the millions of
| dollars worth of perishable products
which could be produced at an enor-
nous profit if market easy of access
| existed.

BIG FISH IN HOLLOW LOGS.
Great Catches of Catfish Made Right IN

At this time of the year the men who
are working in the sawmills along the
Mississippi river are somewhat puzzled
to decide precisely what their occu-
patton is. Sometimes they think they
are mill men and sometimes they think
they are fishermen.
Catfish seem to be the 'coons and
'possums of the river world. They
take to the hollow logs up to the car

When they find one of that sort they
are pretty sure of big catfish hiding

caught about two weeks ago.
The prize was an immense blue cat

So. pounds. The sawmiii fishermen
were not prepared for such big fell

DIvERsIFYING INDUSTRIES.

In his recent speech at Great Falls
Mont. President Hill of the Grea,
Northern road stated a fact vel
known to every observer of our pres.
ent industrial conditions. He stated
that while the miners of Montana
were a beneficial class of citizens I,
was the man who had the roots in the
ground who was the bone and sinew
OF state, and who were in a large
: measure the source of its wealth.
To one who has seen the condition
of the coal fields of PENNSYLVANIA is
able to realize the truth of Mr.. Hills
statement. That state is practically
devoted entirely to mining. The agri-
cultural resources cut but little figure
in the wealth of the state. In fact
except In the river valleys farming on
an extensive scale is out of the aues-
ton because of the mountainous char
acter of the land.
The population of the state is tran
sent in character and uncertain in its
fidelity to the development of the state.
1t can therefore be seen that the man
VINO owns a farm and is consequently
attached to the state and to the COM
munity in which he lives is worth
more than the man who has nothing
more than job to bind him to any
locality. 1t is this condition of the
people of the mining states which give
to their citizenry the UNSTABLE char
acter which is so pronounced. e.
Let it not be understood that the
Industrial classes are not important in
the prosperity OF a community or
state. They serve as an auxiliary to
the agricultural interests and create
market for its products which could
not be found elsewhere. But the two
classes go hand in hand and must be
SO developed that they are mutually

OUR STATE FAIR.

That North Dakota has finally sue
ceeded in securing for itself state
fair commensurate with it's Importance
as one of the banner agricultural
states of the nation all who were in
attendance at Fargo yesterday will
cheerfuly admit. No loyal North Da-
kotan could view the splendid exhibit
ton of the states resources and thu
material evidences OF its rapid ad-
vancement as eXemplified on that oc-
casion without experiencing a glow
of honest pride in the greatness and
grandeur of the young commonwealth
with which he has elected to cast his
lot. Our sister city of Fargo has, in
/. deed, we'll earned the high encomiums
of praise which was so generously
lavished by the multitudes in attend
ance yesterday for the high state of
efficiency to which the exhibition has
been brought by the well-directed
Efforts and tireless energy of those
of its citizens having the matter in
charge. 1t is but simple justice to
say that no city or section of the state
could have excelled Fargo's efforts on
that occasion, if, indeed, any could
have equalled it. Grand Forks evinced
Its fraternal regard, as we'll as its in
terest and pride in the success of the
fair, by furnishing a representative
delegation of its citizens to the num-
Der of several hundred who, one and
all. We'd with representatives from all
parts of the state in materially con-
tributing to the unparalleled success
Of the enterprise. In this instance
Fargo has by far exceeded the ex-
pectations of the most sanguine, not
only in the thoroughness of its pre-
paration, but in the magnitude and
completeness of everything connected
with the exhibition. Fargo has set
Grand Forks pace for next year to
follow which will test our ingenuity
and enterprise, and one which to ex-
cell will call for the united efforts of
our business men and citizens-from
the least to the greatest.

FARMERS ELEVATOR PROFITS.

The Farmers elevator at Knox has
declared dividend earned last wear
OF So per cent on the. capital stock.
The concern was financed, built and
operated by farmers and whatever sue
cess has come to it is the result of
their work. If they have been able
to earn dividend OF so per cent it
proves one of two things-that the
wheat ring is reaping an enormous
profit from the handling of the crops
OF the farmers, or the people who have
been managing 1t are the ablest finan-
ciers In the country.
It may be admitted that the farmers
Of North Dakota have proven in many
instances that they are among the
shrewdest financiers in the country
20 far Fas the management of clean
and conservative business matters are
concerned, But no man, however able,
could7n mot make business devoid of
speculation which under the same con-
fitjons would only yield reasonable
profit. earn such an enormous divi-
dend as that declared. BY the Knox
Elevator company.
1t is therefore necessary to look
for the reason. The deter
animation Of this matter will be of in
tsrsst as well as importance to the
formers Of this state The dividend

mentioned was derived from the
handling of the crop of the farmers
of that section for one year. Had not
the farmers have built and operated
the elevator one-half of the cost of
building it would have gone to line
elevator. In other words, the farm
ers are building an elevator every
two years for the wheat ring. This is
after all operating expenses have been
deducted and represents the net profit
in operating grain elevators.
1t must be admitted that the buying
and selling of wheat and other grains
is something of gamble The fact
that the buying markets are in the
control of interests which are able to
change the price without reference to
the question of supply and demand
renders the matter of selling at an
advance over the costa legitimate
this reason it is necessary that the
margin of possible profit be larger
than it need be if there were GER
tainty of gain.
:; The Evening Times believes that the
hope of the wheat growers of the
northwest is in securing control of
the marketing of the grain. Instead
of selling to the elevator companies
at whatever price they may choose to
fix, the sales should be moved nearer
the consumer. and the regulation of
the available supply should be fixed
by the producers rather than by the
spectators. 1t is a fact that the
scarcity of grain is made by holding
it in terminal elevators until con-
sumption has exhausted the available
supply. and that after the price has
been forced upward by this means the
spectators reap the profits.
This does not in sense concern the
mere shipping of the grain by the
farmers themselves as is done by the
elevators which are able to declare
so per cent dividends, but it is the
ultimate result which is certain to
come from the development of the
farmers elevator idea. When the
farmers have found that they can
manage their own shipping they will
not hesitate to enter the larger field
of owning and controlling the terminal
| elevators also. And when this comes
the grain growers will be able to have
something to say as to the price they
will receive for the products of their
| farms.
1t is said that nearly half hun
dred elevators are being built by
farmers in this state this year. These
with the ones already built will give
the farmers themselves large lever
age on the control of the present crop
Sufficient to influence the price at
least. If they operate in harmony.
There should be no trouble in Sc
curing money to build and operate
elevators when the farmers can get
the principal shack in two years and
have a property worth more than it
was at the beginning.

WHERE PINS CONE FROM.
This Country Supplies Practically
the Entire demand.


Though the demand for pins the
world over is enormous, the mills of
the United States practically supply
the entire demand. Formerly pins
were expensive, but no wthey cost
mere trifle. In 1905 the $4,000, 900 peo-
pie in the United States used 10000 900
gross of common pins. which is equal
to $500, 100000 pins, or an average of
about 1926 pins for every man, woman
and child in the country.
The total number of pins manufac-
tured in the United States during 1900,
the census year, was 68,S89, 260 gross.
There are 43 factories in all, with
1858 employees. The business has
grown rapidly during the last 20 years,
for, although there were 40 factories
in 1880, they produced only half as
much, employing only about half the
capital and only LOTT hands.
The automatic machines, which turn
out pins and hooks has minimized the
cost of their manufacture till the cost
is practically only that of the brass
wire from which they are made. A
single machine does the whole BUSH
ness. Coils Of wire, hung upon reels,
are passed into machines which cut
them into proper length, and they
drop of into a receptacle and arrange
themselves in the line of slot formed
of two bars. When they reach the
lower end of the bars they are seized
and pressed between two dies, which
form the heads, and pass along into
the grip of another steel instrumnt
which points them by pressure. They
are then dropped into solution of
sour beer, whirling as they go, to be
cleared, and into hot solution of
tin. which is also kept revolving.
They here receive their bright coat
of metal and are pushed along, kill

The recent statement of Thomas A.
Edison that he hoped to live to see
electricity derived from coal by what
might be termed a direct process is
interesting from scientific stand
point. In this age of wonderful and
startling discoveries in the fields of
science it does not seem so far fetched
to believe that the latent energy of
coal will be derived from it by chemi-
cal action. This is the idea suggested
by Edison. 1t is we'll established
fact that when coal is converted into
energy by being fed into furnaces for
producing steam, that not more than
one-tenth of the actual worth of the
fuel is realized. When the coal is
converted into gas and that product
into energy probably one-fifth is saved.
But if the coal should be converted
into electrical energy by chemical
process the entire value would be util-
lied, and because of the elimination
of shafting and friction because of
the direct application of the power to
the machinery, the power realized
would be much greater than that of
steam or gas even when the loss from
leakage of the electrical conduits is
considered. Should the present era of
scientific discovery and invention give
the world the only realized dream of
the great electrician it will work the
completion of the greatest work in the
history of the world.

as he can keep up to the high grade
