GRAND FORKS BUSY Win THE FAIR.

Everybody in Grand Forks is prepar-
ing to give all North Dakota and in fact
all the Northwest the time of it's life at
the State Fair July % to %. The Fair
will be complete in every detail. The
displays of stock, farm products, ma
chinery, etc., will be the best ever seen
in the Northwest. In addition there are
to be all sorts of attractions and all good.
There is to be a complete race program
every day, as we'll as a corking good pro-
gram free every afternoon and evening
in the grand stand. The fun producers
engaged include everything worth while
and to miss it will be to take a slap at
the best opportunity that ever knocked
at a North Dakotan's door.

The plan of the American Society of
Equity to have a terminal elevator at
Duluth or Superior is fairly certain of
success. The North Dakota bankers
association is cooperating with the
society and arrangements may be made
by which the plan can financed. The
members of the society will probably as
sist in the movement by taking blocks
of stock in proportion to their ability.
The proposition to finance the entire
movement IS a big affair because it will
include more than the erection of the
elevator. There are some members of
the society who will be unable to hold
their wheat, to assist in the control of
prices, without at least some advance
being made to them to meet pressing
obligations. The more prosperous mem
bers a keep their grain till prices
reach the desired point.

NORTH Dakota people received more
than 100000 from life insurance COM
panies last year, the sums being paid to
the benefciaries of deceased persons.
Notwithstanding the disclosures that
have been made during the past few
years with regard to the %extravagant
management of the companies, life in
a is a form of protection that is
net to be overlooked or lightly consider
ed. While other of saving
might be superior from the investment
point of view, the difficulty lies in induc-
ing the saving. With life insurance,
the man who carries it feels an especial
obligation to make his payments and the
result is found in the fact Of a great
number of persons who die, life in
surance constitutes the greater part of
the estate.

BETTER EQUALIZATION.

The state board of equalization, which
meets in August, will have before it q
matter of Importance to all tax payers,
the question of assessing property at its
real or full value. The matter has been
agitated through the state for some
time, and at the recent meeting of the
county auditors, and states attorneys of
North Dakota held at Grand Forks it
was recommended that the assessors of
the different counties should assess
property at it's full valuation. Since
that time it has been decided to leave
the matter with Gov. Burke. The pres
ent system, by which property is assess
ed at anywhere from 90 per cent to 40
per cent of it's actual valuation works an
injustice upon many property owners
and is undesirable. State Auditor
Holmes has issued a letter to the various
county auditors c%autioning the county
boards of review to exercise the utmost
care in the equalization of the several
townships of their respective counties,
as the state board of equalization will
only be able to make corrections of as
sessments between counties, and in case
the equalization is not carefully made
between the townships of the county
board, a great deal of injustice will re-
suit. The state auditor realizes that 1T
is going to be difficult to bring about an
assessment at true and full value at
once but believes that by working along
the present plans for fairer equalization,
within the next year or two all the prop
erty of the State of North Dakota will be
listed according to law, and the in
equality of assessment of property in a
number of tho counties corrected.

AN inquiry among druggists brings
out the fact that no denatured alcohol is
in the market, in this part of the country
at least. While IN Germany the con-
sumner has been able for many years to
buy a good grade of this great heat pro-
ducing liquid at about 20 cents a gallon
and it is very largely used for cooking
and Illuminating, we in this country are
unable to secure 1t at all, ~notwithstand-
ing the efforts of our senators and con-
gressmen in securing the bill for the
manufacture of the denatured article.
1t seems that there we're enough jokers
introduced into the bill to prevent the
ready distribution of this much needed
article and the means adopted was by
requiring such an amount of red tape
for the dealers to go through in the
securing and handling that they deter.
mined not to order till compelled to do
so by the puplic demand. 1t was ex-
pected that by this time the market
would be flooded with various kinds and
sizes of alcohol stoves anticipating the
public demand for them, butsuch is not
the case, even the largest cities not
offering any greater variety than pre-
vious to the enactment of this law. The
''nieger in the woodpile" does not ap-
pear, but that there is sinister design is
very plain. The red tape must be
eliminated and our farmers be given a
chance both to manufacture and burn
denatured alcohol. 1t is stated that at
present it costs but a small amount to
install a plant for its manufacture, and
what is to prevent there being a small
factory in every county does not appear,
except the aforesaid red tape.

EVERY loyal son and daughter of North
Dakota is planning to attend the State
Fairin Grand Forks July 23rd to 2Sth.
Grand Forks is noted for doing things
right and the fair this year will be right
in more ways than one. 1t will be all
right and to miss it will be to lose an
opportunity to see the products of North
Dakota at their best. Variety which is
said to be the spice of life will be the
spice of the fair too, for never in the
history of Northwestern fairs have more
things been brought together inside of
n fence than will be gathered for the
state fair this year. There will be some
thing doing every minute and everything
will be good for the fair is to be educa.
tional and worth while as we'll as anus
ing. The success of the fair from the
standpoint of the displays is assured
Over $4,000 will be distributed in
premiums and purses and the
ment of these rich offerings will bring
in the cream of the products of the state
There will be stock of all kinds. Ex-
hibits of all the newest and best things
in farming machinery, IS well as dis
plays of fine arts, manufactured articles
in daily use in the state, and ever the
home arts of baking and sewing. The
sensational speed programs that have
been arranged will be a drawing card
for every lover of fast horses. The races
both harness and running, and a full
and complete program is on for each
day at the fair. Already thesowners OF
the speeders are sending in their entries
and the best line Of asteppers" ever seen
the state will do business on the

WHAT WILL 1T STAND FOR?

What will the republican party stand
Tor in the next campaign? Will its
platform contain a frank and candid
statement of the party's purposes, or
will it contain simply a eulogy of the
party's past and leave the public in
doubt as to the party's Intentions?
When President Roosevelt was elected
in 1904, his platform was about as vague
and indefinite as any platform ever
written. He was not committed to any
thing in the way of reform, and his way
has been a thorny one because he was
accused of attempting things which the
people had not instructed him to under
take. Will the party learn a lesson from
the past and instruct it's next candidate
as to what should be done? 1t is not
always safe to start a commander out
with sealed instructions. Such a policy
may be excusable in war, but it is not
.defensible in the ordinary operation of
government. Platforms are of no use
except as they disclose the plans and
purposes of those who write them. Let
us have a republican platform that is
explicit and definite and a candidate
representative of the platform. Then if
the democrats will adopt the same course,
we can have a contest in which the
people can choose and in their choice
a act intelligently. Where does the
republican party stand9 What is it
going to stand for? To what politics
will it commit itself.

The Doctor Away from Home when
Most Needed.

People are often very much disap-
pointed to find that their family physi-
clan is away from home when they most
need his services. Diseases like cramp,
collie and cholera morbus require prompt
treatment, and in many instances are
fatal before medicine can be procured
or a physician summoned. The right
way is to keep at hand a bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. No physician can prescribe Il
better medicine for these diseases. BY
having it in the house you escape much
pain and suffering and all risk. Buy it
now; it may save life. For sale by N. 3.
