LESSONS OF
EPIPHANY
Thoughtful and Instructive
Sermon Preached Yester-
day BY Rev. Burleson.

Rev. j. K. BurlesOn spoke Sunday
morning in St. Paul's church OH the
Lessons of Epiphany. He said in
part: This is one of the strangest
of all those strange events cluster
ing around Christ's nativity. 1t shows
the power which faith may have in
man." He then spoke Of what the
Magi must have endured in their jour
ney, and why it was endured. He
spoke of the astronomical signs which
came to pass at that time, and said:
While these signs would have APP
peared even bad there been no Magi
to see or understand them, still they
read them Alright They did accom-
pany Christ's birth, und God had pro-
vlded that there should be some to
see and understand" He then went
on to speak of the lessons we learn
from the Magi's acts. The first was
faith, which was SO certain of it's
revelation that nothing shook it. The
second was unfaltering hope; which
leads men always to strong and active
service for God. But the greatest les
son is that of love. These men were
ready to forget themselves for Christ
Notwithstanding all that they had
done, they were ready on the instant
to forego all recognition or recon-
pense, and return home as they came,
when His safety demanded 1t. And
they did just that"
In conclusion 1t was said: $50 our
greatest lesson from the Magi is the
lesson of growing love, which gives
up all and forgets all self, for the
sake of Him who gave up all for US,
and who gives US the secret Of true
service by that servant of His, who
says, For now abideth Faith, Hope,
Love, these three But the greatest
of these is Love-"

MONDAY EVENING. JANUARY 8. 1906

The fact is that American agriculture
is the strongest industry in the world
by the grace of Providence 1t sue
ceeds with individualistic and COM
has abandoned, only because of the
fertility of the soil and the enormous
market.
The farmer simply raises his grain
and sells it, Thus, usually, a big
production means Il low price, and as
a rule-although in wheat the specu-
lators occasionally help him out-the
lowest price for grain obtains in the
months when the farmer isSelling his
crop; the highest price after it has
gone into the hands of middlemen.
The packers naturally wish low
price for hogs when receipts are heav-
lest, and the hoary old law of supply
and demand usually gives it to them.
Broadly speaking, the farmer gets the
lowest price when he has most to sell.
The production of iron is now the
greatest on record, and prices are very
high. The mills, working as a unit
through their trade agreements, in
crease their capacity only when prices
begin to advance. When prices
show signs of declining, they prompt
ly curtail output. So they get the
highest price when they have most to
sell. This, also, is according to the
law of supply and demand; only they
take the other end of the prosposition.
All the coordinated, unified industries
and that includes pretty near every
thing except agriculture-let the de-
mand come first, then meet it with
their supply; so they have the fixing
of the price. The farmer furnishes
supply first and takes what price de-
mand will give him. The cotton grow
ers are already working, through as
ISOLATION, to keep such control of their
supply as will enable them, at least,
to meet demand halfway. The fruit
raisers of Michigan were mostly
broke" until they formed associations
and thereby kept control of their SUI
ply and had something to say as to
what prices they should get. Now
they are quite uniformly prosperous

shakespeare.
The leaven of suspicion and dis
trust appears to be working overtime
in the ranks of the would-be political
reformers of the state. No sooner
does the new convert to the
cause of the political purists
begin to assert himself than he is
pointed at as one with an Interior
motive-a secret emissary of the "old
gang" who kisses but to betray-by
some of the tried and true apostles
of the new political faith who have
watched long and waited eagerly for
the dawn of that day when they should
be called upon to receive their share
in the promised division of the po-
litical loaves and fishes.
Recently the official organ of the
so-called good government league, the
Searchlight, bitterly attacked Mr..
Thorson, of the Normanden, charging
that gentleman with reasonable and
seditious practices and demanding
his resignation as secretary of the
Scandinavian Republican league.
Then there is the case of the Bot
tineau 'Courant, which recently chang
ed ownership, and which appeared I'M
der the new management as an i'm
piacable foe of the 'old gang" the
motto Of which was declared to be
mo compromise" and mo quarters"
in the war-to-the-death fight which it
was pledged to wage against the exist
ing condition of things political. in
North Dakota. Like many another
apostate the esteemed Courant dis
played such an astoundingly great
amount of zeal in the service of the
cause which it had espoused as to
create in the minds of it's fellow con-
spirators, an apparently we'll found
ed suspicion that it was simply spy
of the enemy, its mission being to SOW
the seeds of discord and disruption
among its ostensible compatriots
The proof of the Courants treachery
was so evident that lengthy COM
munication from Bottineau over the
non de plume Of "A Republican" in
which implied charges of the above
nature was made against the Courant
and its new editor, and in which the
letter was earnestly importuned to
deny the impeachment in the columns
of his paper, appeared in yesterdays
issue of the Herald.
The Evening Times regrets to note
such deplorable condition of affairs
existing among those actuated by such
high aims and grand purposes.

on the social economy of the east as
especially the cities, as compared with
the west. Poverty is everywhere, but
hunger and want are the water works
of idleness and lack Of opportunity.
Eastern cities are full of starving
people, some of them helpless because
of sex or childhood, but thousands of
them shivering half clothed in unde"
sirable dwellings and eating crust of
bread, who could in few brief years
In the great west. with its free lands
and opportunities for labor open ev-
cry day in the year, have comfortable
homes, and not only enough to eat
and to wear, but could lay by COM
petence to ease the struggle in the
evening of life. The west has had
these opportunities for years and
those who have taken advantage of
them are among the foremost of her
citizens today. 1t seems incredible
that with the opportunities for the
man without means and almost with
out hope, in the great west there
should he any arguments necessary
to induce the starving thousand to
accept these opportunities, But the
truth is no argument is sufficiently
strong to influence them These peo-
pie are not the vicious class, but they
are kept in poverty because they have
not the opportunity to work, because.
from the cOngested conditions there
are more men than jobs, and the sup
ply being greater than the demand
labor receives but pittance. In the
east men walk the streets begging
for the privilege of working at any
price. So long as the poor of the
east shut their eyes to these condi-
tons and refuse to accept the oppor-
tunities offered, so long will there be
starving, freezing children, and SO long
will there be appeals for help that
wiring the soul with their vivid por-
trayal OF poverty and nursery.

A DRAINAGE EXAMPLE.

The survey made preliminary to the
drainage of Lake Irvine near .Churchs
Ferry shows the numerous benefits to
be derived from. drainage work on
even small scale. Lake Irvine is a
shallow body of water not over six
feet deep anywhere. according to the
report of the engineer, and covering
the larger part of an entire township.
1t was formerly connected with Devils
Lake by means of coulee and when
the lake is full this outlet still car
ries off the surplus. The blowing Of
the adjacent land has permitted a large
quantity of dust to be carried into the
lake which the spring overflow carries
to the. outlet where it accumulates,
and the outlet becomes more choked
every year causing the surface of the
lake to rise and overflow the mean
dered lands. Last year the farmers
decided to push the drainage of the
lake by lowerig the outlet about three
feet below the normal and the en-
gineer who made the survey reported
that this would reclaim about is 900
acres of hay land which is now worth
less. Farmers living in the vicinity
OF the lake estimate the value of the
hay obtained from one acre at $40, so
that the increased income of the land
by this one drainage work would be
100000. The land itself will increase
from nothing as 1t is now to $50 or $40
per acre. The cost would be small in
this particular case because of natur-
al advantages, but some idea of the eX.
penditure that could be afforded with
profit can be gathered from the above
facts.

AN ERA OF BUILDING PROS.
PERITY.

1t is regrettable fact that there is
no way of ascertaining the actual val
lie of the building done in this state
during the past year. The figures
would be appalling, if a cursory view
of the field of improvements is any
criterion upon which to base an esti-
mate.
Enough new towns have been built
to alone make the business centres
for fair sized state. In all of these
the buildings have been of the most
substantial character, and the fact
that the railroads in practice, if not
in theory, fix the townsites, and thus
make them permanent, has induced
the building of business blocks not for
tempory convenience, but for perma-
nent business purposes.
In the older towns, the tearing down
of the old landmarks and the erection
of modern buildings is going resist
lessly on. Men whose business has
outgrown their former quarters, are
tearing down building greater. They
have outgrown former conditions.
Another line of building that has
been extensively carried on the past
year is the erection of costly farm
homes. commodious barns and other
buildings. Hundreds of farm homes
ranging in price from three to seven
thousand dollars. have been built,
while barns that would be objects of
amazement in almost any other state,
have sprung up like stars on clear
October night
This passing of the old and expert
mental order of things, this outgrow-
ing of things which a few years ago
were amply sufficient for the needs of
the country,sand this building of per-
nlanent homes by that great class of
citizens who constitute the fountain
head of agricultural wealth, are
abundant proof that the state has en-
tered upon a career of permanency
and prosperity, that is without paral-s
lei, and that the people are becoming
permanency and who will remain
in the county which they have so
much helped to make great.

GRAND FORKS A FLOUR CITY.

1t is the purpose of The Evening
Times to devote part of its energies
to the building up of the trade de-
mand for the flour manufactured in
the mills of this, state. The import
ance of such a line of industries has
already been pointed out. 1t is the
purpose of this article to meet some
of the unfounded objections made
against the products of local mills. 1t
is theory made by the large manu-
featuring concerns and kept eternally
fresh by them, that the products of
such establishments are superior to
those of smaller concerns. The beef
trust claims that it can kill better
meat than the small butcher. yet some
of their sirloin steaks do not equal
the rib roasts of local butchers. The
mills of Minneapolis have made the
American housewife believe that the
flour which bears their brands has
been made by some secret and mys-
FERROUS processes known only to their
experts and which give it bread maxi
ing qualities without which this house.
hold necessity could not be produced.
A comparison of the processes used in
the Minneapolis mills and those in the
mills of this and other cities of the
state will show that the local flour
is taken through exactly the same pro-
cesses as that made by the larger mills.
The same process of cleaning, puri-
flying, and treating is used, the starch
and gluten are handled in the same
manner and with the same kind of
machines in both mills. The large
mills are merely Implications of the
local mills. If these things be true,
it Is difficult to see any reason why
should be superior to a similar one at
Grand Forks. People have been ac-
customed to accepting Minneapolis
flour as the acme of perfection SO
long that any adulteration is all right.
The trade flourishes because it has be-
come a custom and because of the
prejudfces kept alive by representa-
tives of the large mills. 1t will be
necessary to change the custom of the
people before the demand for local
flour becomes general, but once they
are set thinking on the matter. they
will see the fallacy of the theory and
will demand the home product. When
the people demand it. merchants will
sell it, and when they sell it, there
will be mills to manufacture it.
1t is no pipe dream" to believe that
Grand Forks can be made great flour
manufacturing city. 1t is in the great
est wheat producing region of the
world, it has progressive business men
who are wide awake and fearless, and
its citizens generally are enthusiastic
boomers. The field for manufacturing
b here, the shipping facilities are all
Sufficient, the raw material is at our
very door, and the destiny of the city
is for an unparalleled development.
Immense milling plants will do much
to help, and the practicability of the
thing is certain. The flour brand of
Grand Forks mills should be an Amer
lean household word The Evening
Times has faith to believe in the GER
tainty of the thing.
