BIG HOTEL BUSINESS rs
DONE IN NORTH DAKOTA
Enterprises Of This Sort Are Excep
tionaIIy Lucrative-Good opportuni-
ty to Establish Profitable Business.
Special Correspondence.
BY w. A. OTIS.

FORBES, N. D., Jan: 1.-THE transient
traveller through this state is continually
commenting on the large business in
every little town done by the hotel men or
hotels think business only ordinary when
they are clearing $3.50 to $500 month
This is, of course, occasioned by the
large number of travelling statesmen who
work this state. and by the land seekers
It is little surprising, therefore, that
no one has yet located hotel in this
hustling little place.
The town is but six months old, but
it already has two elevators, two lum-
Der yards, bank owned by Congressman
Marshall, hardware, harness, grocery and
meat stores, Two passenger trains daily
freight service. The town needs good
hotel. and someone will establish good
business by opening one.
D. N. Tallman, townsite agent Of the
Great Northern Railway, of Willmar
Mimi, controls the townsite, and says
all he desires now to complete the quota
is a good hotel. and that the townslte
company will make liberal concessions te
the right man. >.

CENTRAL BEATS NORTH
Contest at North High Assembly Hall
- Is Spirited One.

Central high won in the joint debate
between teams representing the Central
and North high schools at. the North
high assembly hall last evening. The
lam 6. Leary and Fred E. Barney. The
vote as announced was 2 to 1 in favor
Of Central high. Each team had
strong group Of partizans in the hall
and every speaker was cheered to the
echo, the school yells being given with
much gusto and vigor.
Miss Ruth Ridges opened the debate
for Central, which had the affirmative.
She reviewed in a general way the evils
which had grown up under the conven-
tion of nominating candidates for polit-
ical offices and declared that the direct
or primary system Of nomination was a
logical movement for the elimination of
the practices which had made municipal
and state elections in the United States
the subject Of ridicule to the entire
world. Il: 49,.
Evils Not Cured.
William Anderson, on behalf Of
North high, called upon the affirmative
to prove that the primary system had
cured the evils alleged to have been the
outgrowth Of the convention system.
He called attention to the election Of
DR.. A. A. Ames as mayor Of Minneapo-
lis and of James G. Haynes as proof
that the system did not give the. city
any better or even as good admlnlstra-
tions as the old method.
ttNo man is free unless he is mas
ter of his vote,' declared Miss Bessie
Hull Of Central, and she then gave a
! brief sketch Of how 'caucuses were run
and conventions manipulated under the
former system.
Earling Swanson argued that. if the
primary system had brought reform in
4 city and county administration there
was no reason to suppose that it would
be of any benefit if extended to state
elections. A fair geographical distri
button of candidates was impossible un
der the direct system of nominations ano
it had been shown that the strongest
districts in population monopolized the
