Jermane in the Minneapolis

ligent activity and foresight of
Representative Marshall of North
Dakota the way is opened for the
establishment in the northwest
states of large plants for the dis
tillation Of depaturized alcohol for
use in the arts and sciences, in
general manufacture and in a vari-
ETY. of other practical ways. The
general plan as as outlined looks
first to suitable legislation in Con-
gress at this session, then gettin
together capital for investment in
the distilling plants. Ifthis scheme
is worked out, even in a small way
will develop many new lines of I'M.
dustry in the northwest, give the
farmer a permanent market, a
good prices for his potatoes, corn.
sugar beets, and other crops pos
sessing quantities of starch.

THE MISSOURI SLOPEl

The Times is in receipt of a let
ter from an eastern farmer who re-
ceived a copy through a friend,
asking what, if any, part.of the state
offers an opportunity for men in
moderate circumstances to get a
start with reasonable prospects OF
realizing a competency.
1t is not our policy to boom any
one part Of the state to the detri-
ment Of another, but it must be re-
membered that the opportunities
in different parts Of the state are
also different.
Foraman like our correspondent
who has only his labor and enough
property to realize him four or five
hundred dollars, the Missouri slope
certainly offers the greatest oppor-
tunities.
There he can procure a quarter
section of land for the asking. On
this, with a few hundred dollars
and his own labor, he can build a
home.
He can always find employment
at good wages during the time his
first crop is growing, and from this
income he can live until his lands
can make returns.
The life will not be a pathway of
roses, but it will be no worse than
that which hundreds Of families
are experiencing in their present
locations with no hope whatever Of
the future.
In the North Dakota case it is
different.
If the increase in land values in
Ward county and the territory con-
tiguous to it is any criterion, land
on the Missouri slope will be worth
when patented, from ten to twenty
dollars per acre.,
What has the owner made? A
living for his family,a home worth
on the market two thousand dollars
and the foundation Of an independ-
ent living.
These figures would not be at
/! tractive to millionaires. but they
mean much to men who have spent
half the allotted period of life, and
are hardly able to make the books
balance.
To such, the sacrifice is worth
the reward.-G. F. Times.

The purpose Of this meeting is to
discuss methods and adopt some

Of operation for the coming season
and to vigorously present the
claims Of North Dakota unitedly.
The object is a meritorious one,
and should be attended by all who
