INDIRECT RESULTS.

The Commercial club in pursuing
the right course in making friendly
visit to the interior cities and villages.
There is already the best of feeling
between the varied business interests
of the state, but if the Commercial
club returns next Friday night with
nothing more than assurances that
that feeling is to continue unbroken
it will have accomplished all that
could be desired.
Too many men spend their lives in
a rut, without knowing or seeming to
care what their nearest neighbors are
doing or what they are thinking about.
None of this class of men ever be-
come leaders in trade, politics or the
professions. The touching of elbows
among business men brings remark
able results. 1t brings out the strong
est characters in a community and
excites emulation, friendly rivalry and
honorable ambitions. Isolation breeds
selfshness and retrogression. Men
must look each other in the eye; they
must measure and be measured.
The country storekeeper comes to
regard the city merchant with sus-
picion and distrust until he knows hin,
personally, and then it frequently hap
pens. through an exchange of ideas,
that the city man has discovered what
he has for years been looking for
a live partner. Most of the merchant
princes of today came from the coun-
try store and did not know of their
own possibilities until they came into
personal contact with the wholesaler
The real Napoleons of finance grew up
on the farms and got their first view
OF the world when they went to the
circus or visited an opulent relative in
the great city.
The Commercial club members will
return from their trip this week re-
habilitated physically and regenerated
from a business standpoint Their
views will be broadened. They will
place a greater value upon the tri-
butary country. 1t will be the biggest
dividend they ever received on any
investment.

NEEDS ENFORCING.

The change in the law upon which
the distribution of the school moneys
of the state is based, has caused some
thing of commOtion among the
school officers throughout the state.
Formerly the distribution was based
upon the number Of pupils who resided
in the school division irrespective of
whether these children attended
school single day or not.
Now the distribution is based upon
the actual attendance, and the officers
in order to increase their share of the
general fund must get the children
into school for the period required by
law.
But the officers were not left with
out method Of securing the desired
result. The law of compulsory at
tendance is sufficient to compel every
truant to attend school the required
time. The trouble has been in most
instances that the truant law has not
been enforced.
1t was for long time a serious
question with thinking teachers
whether child could be improved in
tellectually-that is educationally-by
sending him to school when he had no
relish for it and made no effort to
utilize the advantages. This is not the
belief now.
1t has been proven that the right
sort of teachers can influence any
child brought under her Jurisdiction,
and to limited extent develop the
mind and thus give the child the ele-
ments of an education.
If child remains away from school
because of its own vicious inclinations
it would indeed be a difficult task to
convert it into either a. lawyer or a
doctor. But the germs of a higher
ambition and nohler purpose could
be instilled into him so that he would
be better citizen than he otherwise
would have been.
The sad truth is, however, that the
majority of the children who remain
away from school do so because they
they are kept SO by those into whose
care they have been committed in the
great plan of perpetuating the race.
The children are longing for the OPP
portunity of the school rooms and once
in it they will be the most Jealous in
improving its opportunities.
The officers need to reach the people
who are responsible for these condi-
tons and make them understand that
the law in this particular must be
respected. 1t is hoped that the lessen
ing Of the funds and the consequent
increase in the taxes in the divisions
where this custom prevails will oper-
ate to cause the compulsory attend
ance law rigidly enforced.

Always, when injustice is unearthed
and mistakes are revealed, the tend
ency is to put the blame where it least
belongs. If all men were upright and
obeyed the moral code there would
be but small use for statute law.
Every man should question himself at
least once day. One individual may
not reform the world or even a small
proportion of it, but he may reform
himself, and this done he will have
accomplished something toward the
aggregate betterment of the human
family.

Who Bides His Time.

Who bides his time. and day by day
Faces defeat full patiently,
And lifts a mirthful roundelay.
However poor his fortunes be
He will not fall in any qualm
OF poverty-the paltry dime
1t will grow golden in his palm,
Who bides his time.
Who bides his time-he tastes the sweet
OF honey in the safest tear;
And though he fares with slowest feet.
Joy runs to meet him, drawing near;
The birds are heralds OF his cause;
And like the never ending rhyme,
The road sides bloom in his applause,
Who bides his time.
Who bides his time. and fevers not
In the hot race that none achieves.
Shall wear coOl-wreathen laurel,
wrought
With crimson berries in the leaves;
And he shall reign a goodly king.
And sway his hand DER every cline,
With peace writ on his signet ring.
Who bides his time

Around Batheate.

Pink Paper: A very large part of
the wheat is already in the shock and
by Saturday of this week it will all
be cut except here and there a piece
OF late sown. Threshing will probably
begin next week. and conditions re-
naming favorable, nice start in
threshing will have been made by the
nrst OF September. While there is
much grain there will probably be
enough threshing machines to handle
1t before the freeze-up comes, unless
we have exceptionally wet weather.

Into Rismarck.

1t is persistently humored among
railroad men that there has been a
deal made between the Northern Pa
cific and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul whereby the latter is to obtain
possession Of the Linton branch of the
former road and SO secure its long
coveted entrance into Bismarck. 1t
is impossible to secure official con-
firmation Of the story, but it is gen.
orally accepted as true.

No News From Strebeck.

Sheriff Turner has not received a
word since Saturday morning concern
ing Strebeck, the man who escaped
from Jail in this city. In the last tele-
gram from Eau Claire the chief of
police said the sheriff had just left
for the country, where they had the
fugitive cornered. The authorities
here have been expecting word all day
telling whether the man was captured
or whether he escaped from the sheriff.

Fellow Feeling.

I've noticed as I've gone through life
You've noticed. too. perhaps
That those who aid one in the strife
Are not the richest chaps.
When in the slough you've wandered
far
IT'S apt to reach your ken
The biggest hearted Outlines are
The unsuccessful men.
I've naught against the millionaire,
The banker rich and fat,
The railroad man with wealth to spare
The bloated plutocrat.
I'd merely state that IL your star
Be sinking you'll find then
The bfggest-hearted often are
The unsuccessful men.

Miss Matte NJ. Davis, superintend-
ent of schools of Cass county, who
was nominated at the Minot conven-
ton of democrats for state superin-

is no truth or foundation in the re-
port. Miss Davis says that she was
never notified that she had been NOM

EXCITEMENT AT WADsWoRTH.
New Gold Discoveries Are Import

H S. Joseph, president of the Peet
Russell Engineering company. an organl-
cation of mining engineers and surveyors
who have two crews of men at work In
Nevada doing professional work and who
at the same time, are ever on the alert
for good mining properties, received cheer
ing news from c. A. Peet yesterday. Ac-
cOmpanying the letter was package OF
''pannings" from a discovery that had
Just been made in new camp and this
sample and the enthusiastic letter of Mr.
Peet combined. had the effect of making
the recipient wish that he could take the
first train for the west.
Two miles from WadSwOrth. at camp
which has been chriStened Chlorine, Mr..
Peet reports that a number of new dis
CoVeries have been made and he believes
the district is going to cause more eX-
element than has been witnessed in Ne
vada for a long time. He states that
water is easily to be had and that there
is a forest of timber within short dis

made
The lodges do not crop prominently. but
ii is little trouble to strip the ground in
which they are found and thus trace
them along their courses for great dis

from $12 ton up into the thousands. and
the rock taken from the three-foot ledge
discovered by the Peet party, shows, &C
cording TO the paintings made and the
samples forwarded to Mr.: Joseph, values

Mr. Peet urges Mr.. Joseph to drop
everything and get into camp as soon as
he possibly can and the latter states that
he will leave at the first opportunity.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. July 5.-Clear weather
throughout the northwest and southwest
induced liberal profit-taking today in the
local wheat market and resulted in con-
siderable decline in prices. At the close
wheat for September delivery was off IS
corn was up 1s@A. Oats were down 3s
Provisions were unchanged to 2h@5
higher
The wheat market was weak almost all
day. There was free selling by cash
houses and local longs, and support came
principally from shorts. The chief factor
responsible for the selling pressure was
the generally favorable weather condi-
lions in the United States, the weather
bureau reporting clear weather both III
the winter and spring wheat sections. the
exceptions being in Iowa and Nebraska,
where some rains had fallen. The sales
by cash houses were prompted mainly by
liberal acceptances from the country.
Late in the day the market experienced a
fair rally, which was due to reports of
rust in the wheat fields of North Da-
kota and Canada. The close, however.
was easy September opened y TO LAS

development has been progressing for
a year or more. 1t was to look over the
property and plan for future develop
ment that Mr.. Mcmillan made the trip.
He states that some strong lodges are
being opened up by tunnels and that
the prospects for making good mine
could hardly be better. in one portion
of the property they have fine ledge
carrying carbonate and galena ores
while in another they are developing a
vein that is counted upon to make good
as high grade zinc proposition.
Up to the present time the owners
have handled the property simply as
Individuals but the probabilities are
that during the present season COM
pany will be organized for the purpose
of equipping and working the ground
on a more extensive scale. With ma
chinery and means to go at the business
right Mr.. Mcmillan is confident the
property can be converted into good
producer in short order. A splendid
road connects the district with the rail-
road at Ketchum and conditions all
around are ideal for obtaining big re-
suits. In the meantime crew of men
are kept steadily at work upon the
ground.

Free Coinage Company, After
FourS Years Layoff, Is to
Resume Operations.
VALCALDA TO HAVE A MILL
NEW GOLD DISCOVERIES NEAR
WADSWORTH REPORTED.

The Free Coinage Mining & Milling
company, with valuable property at
Alta, has decided to resume operations
after a suspension of four years dura-
ton. To start the ball rolling the dlrec-
tors met yesterday afternoon and levied
an. assessment of $1,000, the proceeds
TO be applied to driving the tunnel
distance of 200 feet farther into the
property. Contracts will be awarded
and the work will be started during
the coming week and by fall, the expec-
tation is, there will have been sufficient
ore developed to make regular ship
ments possible.
The company owns three patented and
two unpatented lode locations westerly
of the Peruvian Consolidated and west
of the ground that was Incorporated
by the West Columbus Copper company
a few days ago A tunnel has been
driven for a distance of 700 feet, shaft
has been sunk about SiXty-flVe feet
and an upper tunnel was sent IN on
the ledge for over forty feet. In all
of the workings ore is exposed and
most of it runs high enough in gold,
silver and copper to give it value
exceeding $100 per ton. To get under
the shaft workings the 700-feet tunnel
will have to be driven something ike
l60 feet and from there on is where
the management expects the ore 10 pc
gin making in quantity. The ledge is
a true fissure in granite and IT mas
been traced entirely through the three
patented claims of the company. In
the distance that the tunnel has been
driven the pay streak has been narrow,
but the shaft workings. as well as those
of the short upper tunnel indicate that
large shoots of fine ore will be FOUND
when the distance mentioned above mas
been added TO the tunnels length.
There is a good blacksmith and car
penter shop at the mouth of the tun-
mel and there is a stream of water run
ming down the guleh near by when,
if the developments of the next ninety
days show things up as expected, VIII
