"The radical utterances OF old man

do we dcplorc his unwarranted attacks
on the sin trust and its worthy hoard

Aside from the fact that these gem

In speaking Of Alfred BlaisdelI, the
present secretary of state, the Grand
Forks Times says:
"In these days Of grand stand spec
tacular officials, 1t is gratifying to
note that the quiet, systematic man
ner in which Mr.. Blaisdell is conduct
ing his Office is being appreciated by
the conservative business element of
the state.
"He is the youngest state official
ever elected in North Dakota, but
during his incumbency he has made
an excellent public servant, retiring
from the active management OF his
large business interests at Minot In
order to devote his time to the duties
of his office.
"When asked II lie could afford to
neglect his personal affairs. and as 10
whether the salaries paid the state
officers were large enough, he charar-
REALISTICALLY replied that while lie
thought the acceptance Of q public
Office certainly did generally involve a
personal sacrifice, vet no one was CONF
pelled to make this sacrifice and that
he was satisfied.
.Mr. Elaisdell is more widely known
in the western half ef the state-pop-
ularly known ,as the s'Slope'-but II
he keeps up Ills present record in office
he will not lack for friends in any Sec
ton OF the state.

and time to laugh.
/ Man shall be brought to the grave;
his hours are numbered; the clods Of
the valley shall be sweet unto him;
and every man shall draw after him,
as there are innumerable before him.
The grave excuses no one, nor does
its messenger announce his coming.
Such was our sad experience on July
81, 1907, when, in submission to our
Great Commander, God, the death
angel called from our circle Vice
Chancellor Clint o. Smith.
Therefore, be it resolved by Linton
Lodge No. II, knights Of Pythias, in
convention assembled:
First. That in Knight Clint O.
Smiths departure we have lost a
brother of sterling character, of up.
right and noble qualities; one who ex-
emplitied the friendship Of Damon

Justly said, HE lived to bless man

Second. That we extend our heart.

family.
Third. That our Castle Hall he

Try to Do This.

Take light chair and place 1t with
its back to the wall. Stand In front OF
1t, facing the wall. with the toes about
a foot from the front feet Of the chair,
and, placing one hand on each side OF
the chair lean forward until the top Of
your head touches the wall The prob
lem is to lift the chair from the floor
md, without moving the feet, to take
the head away from the wall and
stand upright. Simple as this appears.
1t is impossible. Very few people. rs
you Will find, would anticipate any diff
ficulty In doing this. Get them to try.
This trick is, of course. very like the
old one OF standing against q wall
sidcwisc with the shoulder and ono
foot touching the wall. It Is then Inn
possible to raise the outside foot with.
out losing ones balance and falling
away from the wall.

Dear Streeter, am enclosing here
with letter from the department rel

interested, stating that railway mail
service will probably be established
between Linton and Bismarck, which
the department thinks will answer
the purpose desired. | would be glad
to hear from you farther In the mat
ter, and II you think this will not give
adequate service, or II you have any
other suggestions, shall be very glad
to endeavOr to carry them out. 1t
strikes me, however, that the eStab-
liShment of railway mail service would
be of great benefit, and II you think
advisable shall be very glad to urge
upon the department that this action
be taken. Very truly yours,

shall, Cakes, N. D.: Sir-Your letter
of the 18th inst, inclosing an extract
from a communication received by
you from the Hon. ID. r. Streeter, Of
Linton, n. d., in which the recon-
mendation is made that railway mail
service be established between Linton
and Bismarck, or, in case this be not
considered advisable. that the former
service between Hartford and Linton
be restored, has been given careful at
tention. In reply have the honor to
inform you that the question Of estab-
fishing railway mail service between
Linton and Mckenzie, which would
provide the direct means Of commune
cation between Linton and Bismarck
desired by your correspondent, Is now
under consideration by the depart
ment. Ii such service should be auth
orized, the proposed star service be-
tween Hartford and Linton would be
unnecessary, and it is thought adviS-
able to take no action with respect to
the star service until the question OF
authorizing the railway mail service
between Linton and Mckenzie, men,
toned above shall have been decided.
Ii it be decided not to establish such
railway mail service, further consider
alton will be given to the question OF
providing improved mail facilities be-
tween Linton and postotiices ON the
Winona- Bismarck route by star-route
service, and your recommendation in
the matter will be given careful atten-
tinn, it being evident to the depart
ment that the existing arrangements
for the exchange Of mails between
Linton and Bismarck, also between
Linton and postotlices ON the route
from Bismarck to Winona, are not
adequate. Very respectfully.
