Rockefeller Goes Down.

The passage Of the free alcohol
bill into law BY the last Congress
is coming to be more thoroughly
priced. When the law becomes
operative, not only will the price
Of all liquid fuel be reduced one
half, but denaturized alcohol will
be given the preference for many
reasons. For heating and light
ing it will take the place of kero-
scene and gasolene, and in the
various economies Of the house
hold and the farm, it will, by rea-
son of its cleanliness and cheap
ness. become the popular motor.
power. In Germany it is used to
propel the sewing machine and the
churn, and the farmer uses it to
pillow and reap and thresh. It is
the popular light for lamps. It is
clean, and the labor Of trimming
wicks and cleaning lamps is al
most dispensed with. It is an
admirable cleaner for clothes when
besmeared with grease or other
wise soiled. In fact it will revo-
lutionize the home life Of our
country. This will be the result
Of the law given us by the last
Congress. 5.

After Chautauqua Session.

In an interview with Hon. Geo.
w. II. Davis the other day re-
garding the finances Of the Chau-
tauqua Association, he said that
the income from all sources this
year about equalled that Of last
year. There were no "big days"
this year. but the average attend
ance was greater. There we're a
greater number Of season tickets
sold this year than ever before.
This fact shows the growing popu-
larity of the Association program.
Alta meeting called to hear criti-
cisms and suggestions, the Man
agement was highly complimented
in every particular, and the only
suggestions we're along the line of
improved sanitation which, tho
better than last year, still needs
attention. Mr.. Davis says that
everything necessary to the com
plete sanitation of the Campus
will be done. There was very
little to complain of this year, and
there will be nothing at all to
offend the most sensitive next year
for extensive improvements are
contemplated. Many more con
tages will be built the next season,
and they will be built by those
who intend to live on the Campus
during the whole heated term.
The Management is much en-
couraged to go on with their i'm
provements, and the proposed in
creased expenditures on the pro-
gram. They are determined to
make it the leading association of
its kind in the world.

A Flat Contradiction.

Some of our insurgent exchang-
es claim that the Inter Ocean
said the pronounced extension
of the primary law farce. This
is as near the truth as an insurg-
ent can get. The Inter-Ocean
never said any such thing. Look
up your files again. We know
you are anxious to, discredit this
paper, but we will not allow you
to lie without telling you about it.
The Inter-Ocean stated the facts
about the fight that was made
Oh the Davis bill by Stalwart and
Insurgent alike, and that in con-
sequence of this cutlery the modi-
fication was made. Seventeen in
surgents voted for the bill as it
passed. How many voted against
it? The present bill was a com
promise measure. And now that
a Stalwart convention declared for
a blanket primary law, no doubt
the Legislature will give it. The
lnter-Ocean never opposed the
full primary law. It defended
those who, not able to get it. took
all they could get. When some
of these North Dakota insurgents
reach their final home, Annanias
will feel that he is out of business

principal provision we quote as

who can not speak the English
language: Provided, That this
requirement shall not apply to
aliens who are physically unable
to comply Herewith, if they are
otherwise qualified to become
citizens Of the United States: And
provided further, That the require
ment shall not apply to any alien
who has prior to the passage Of
this act declared his intention to
become citizen Of the United
States in conformity with the law
in force at the date Of making
such declarations: Provided furth-
er, That the requirements Of sec.

HE WEEK
The New Public Building.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS;

When contemplating a site
for the coming public building,
do not fail to calculate on the
growth Of Devils Lake. This
city must attain to at least
twenty thousand people before
the present generation of active
business men have given place
to their successors. This is a
very conservative estimate.
This growth seems to us inevi-
table. Consider the geograpni-
cal position Of this city. It is
the natural center Of a territory
within a radius Of fifty miles.
It is eighty nine miles west of
Grand Forks; to the west Minot
is one hundred and eighteen
miles away, while to the north
there is no town nor city which
can hope to be it's rival.
v The city has won the victory
necessary before it could claim
with certainty a great future.
We refer to the victory which is
embodied in the Great Northern
Railways decision to make this
point a division center. The in
vestment of about one quarter
of a million dollars by that COM
pany to furnish facilities for
the handling Of business at this
point is the guarantee of COM
merclal growth that no pessi-
mist can ignore. Mr.. Hill can
be trusted to make no mistakes
in this particular. He makes
his investments to be prepared
to take advantage of the enevi-
table. His local system of
roads center here. That fact
makes inevitable another fact
the building OF this city into a
distributing center. Even with
out any other railway we must
become distributing center for
the territory of which we are
the natural center. Measure
out radius of fifty miles and
sweep the circle, ard there is in
cluded within the circle the
richest agricultural region in
the state or in the west. The
products Of this region will act
as ballast in the hold to steady
the craft on the commercial sea.
We feel justified therefore in

Scratching Each Others Back.

The Herald OF Grand Forks is
very considerate of the democratic
party. At the same time the
Evening Press is very heligerent
towards the Grand Forks Times.
The Herald suggests how the
democratic party may gain many
republican votes, and the Evening
Press berates the Times and mocks
at its claim to represent the re-
publican party. You who can put
two and two together, reach your
own conclusion. The Herald has
not placed the State ticket at the
head Of its column, nor has an in
surgent paper in the state done So

Stole His Horse.

Last Saturday night Tom Warren drove
into the city and tied his horse on the
east side OF the Friedman store and pro-
ceeded to transact what little business he
had to do. An hour later, when he got
ready to return to his home his horse and
buggy we're missing and no trace of it
could be found anywhere The officers
were notified and telephones were sent in
every direction but no trace of the rig
could be found.
Sunday night somebody brought the
horse and buggy back and tied the horse
in the ! 0 Mt barn and it was returned
to Tom on Monday morning. If the
person who took it did it for joke, Tom
wants it understood that it was no ioke
and if he can apprehend the party who
took it he will give him all that there is in
the law for him.

that nothing will preserve the natural

Such cases are rare. Most people
can have their natural teeth all their
days by taking proper care of them.
Proper care means thoro and regular
cleansing with harmless, antiseptic
dentifrice like our BUSY BEE

Keeps the teeth sound and white.
Costs but 25c for large package.
