SARLES is PRAISED.

1T is with great pleasure that refer to the record
made by Hon. E. Y Sarles as governor, and all the
members of the state administration. It has been
showing the best business in caring for the inter-
ests of the state giving just taxation and conserving in
the best possible the vast OF the go
rious state which have helped to build up We be-
lieve that the voters of the republican party and in fact
the entire population of North Dakota will overwhelm-
ngy endorse the administration of Governor Sares and
his associates and the work of this convention at the
polls next November.
The republican party fully sympathzes with the
use of organized labor in the state and nation its his
tory showing that has helped the Of the labor
ing man the nation in shortening his hours OF la
bor aiding him to receive proper compensation for his
services and thus giving him better opportunities for the
education of his children and lettering the condition OF
his home and family.
We repeat the pledge of the republican party to i'm
prove all laws upon the statute books
NorE-A claim favorng complete primary law
adopted but received the opposition of the present
state republican organization.

We Must Have
More Houses

There is no longer any question
about the necessity of houses in
Devils Lake. We need at least
100 residences of five or six
rooms or more. There will be
at the very least 200 persons
move to this city the coming
summer, whose residence here
will be permanent. These people
cannot live in tents in the win
ter. The people are coming here
now and they have to go to the
Chautauqua grounds five miles
south Of the city to find places to
live.
Something must be done.
The building of houses is a
good investment. At the pres
emit time a house costing, with
the ground, 81, 800 will rent for
$40 month, and taxes and in
surance and improvements will
not be over $50 or $40 a year. 1t
is easy to see that this is a bet
ter investment than any other
that can be made, as houses are
always increasing in value.
There is not a house in this city
at the present time that is not
worth from 33 to so per cent.
more than it was five years ago.
At Grand Forks a few years
ago many houses were built and
people said the persons erecting
the houses for rent were making
bad investments. Rent is higher
in Grand Forks now than ever,
ard the houses have also increas-

pany, the stockholders of which are
all to be residents of North Dakota.

gerously wounded at the home of his
father in Walsh county, opposite the

Norman Gcmbo is being held in the
Walsh county jail awaiting the result
of Frederick-s injuries.
Minot.-The prospects of securing

guards of North Dakota now seems
bright. A petition requesting Adjt.
Gen. H.. M. Creel to establish COM
pany here has been signed by a large
number of young men.
wn.-Improvement has been
made in the telephone service to Cour-
tenay, a central Office being established
there SO that residents may call James,
town direct without calling up Valley

this city. However, if it is desired to
reach Wimbledon from Jamestown it
is necessary first to call up Courtenay,
which then connects with Its sister
town.
