EDITORIAL COMMENT
Minot a Great City.

The large crowds who visited Minot during
the present week, many for the first time, were OF
one opinion regarding our city, and that is that
Minot is great. OF course Minot's the magic
city, farmer who had not been in the city for
two or three months said he came near getting
lost. He didn' t know the streets. New build
ings had changed the appearance OF certain
streets. The graders had changed the physical
nature of them. The magnificent new build
ings which are now under the course OF con-
struction, add to the appearance OF the city.
The new ive-story $25O,OOO mill, several
new elevators, the three story Masonic temple,
the three-story. Roell- Blakey block, and we
might mention many Others that are being
erected, add greatly to the appearance OF the city
Occasionally you will meet a man who shakes
his head as if to say" "Wait and see You
will see Minot 90 to the bow.wows some day
Those same fellows have been talking this way
for the last twenty years.
Do you suppose that jim Hill would be
building one Of the largest round houses and
machine shops in the state if Mlnot was going
to the dogs? Do you think that the Russell
Miller Milling to, Que OF the strongest concerns
in the United S, ales, would be spending q quar-
ter of a mi lion dollars on buildings if they
thought that the farmers would be unable to
raise any wheat? Business men OF means who
are far-sighted, are investing thousands OF dol
lars in e, cd improvements here. OF course Mi
nOt's going to be the largest city in the state
somedaY. She's the best already.

A Rotten Condition.

An article in the Chicago Tribune states
that the United States Steel corporation is sell
ing rails to the Japanese government at it's ex-
port price, which is $40 ton less THAI the
home price, and is making them in strict &C
cordance with the Japanese specifications. The
Japs will not accept rails Of an inferior quality
such as American railroads claim are being sold
to them AS the Philadelphia Record says
"There is something rotten in the condition
that enables foreigners to come into our market
and buy better rails for less money" American
roads are needing more rails and seem to be
largely at the mercy OF the steel trust. The
roaus might combine and start a rail mill Of
their own. The public is interested in the mat
ter The safety Of travel depends on good
rais-Nasllville American.

Two Gents a Mile.

At a meeting of the Presidents Of the great
railroads in Chicago last week, it was decided
that after July /. all railroads in the United
States, should charge only two cents mile for
passenger service instead Of three cents The
Presidents agreed that it was not fair to charge
two cents in some states and three cents in
Others This decision on the part Of those mag
lie. 1t is limited that the railroads do not care
50 much about the lowering OF the passenger
rates, if the legislatures will only ettheirfreight
rates alone. s9t HE-

Sold for Scrap Iron.

The last of the famous DeMores packing
plant at Medora which burned to the ground a
few weeks ago was disposed of the other day to
a junk dealer in the shape of IS tons of scrap
iron. The Marquis De Mores was an adventur-
Gus Frenehman who backed by Zeigler, the New
York millionaire, whose daughter he married,
built large packing plant at Medora with all
the improvements and convenience in use at
that time. This was in the eighties when west
ern North Dakota was ranehing country only
and while there was ample supply of live beef
70 meet the needs of the plant, the marquis
could not compete with Swift or Armor in dis
posing of his products, and after short time Of
= precarious existence the plant was closed. 1t
has for many years been under the care of a
private Waterman
After the failure, the Marquis went to Eu-
rope and in touring Abyssnia few years ago
was treacherously killed by native guides. He
was man of indomitable nerve and killed six of
his assailants before the fatal bullet struck
home. It is said Of him that he challenged
President Roosevelt to a duel. Roosevelt was
then living on his ranch south of Med0ra and
was sheriff Of Billings county. Roosevelt being
the challenged party had the choice Of weapons
and chose boxing gloves. The Marquis not
being familiar with such weapons withdrew his
challenge.
His widow makes occasional visits to Medora
to look cfter her interests and where she has
many warm friends. Two years ago she gave
the people of Medora and vicinity grand ball
and banquet during her short stay there.

In certain localities, farmers are in sore need
of rain. The rains thus far this season haveall
been local and while some portions OF the sur
rounding country have had an abundance OF
rain, other strips look pretty 'sick." If the
showers commence soon in those localities, the
wheat and other grain ought to come along
fairly we'll, but as far as bumper crop is con-
cerned this season, the country in general will
not see it. Of course, if the farmers in certain
localities get ouly half crop, they expect and
will receive much better price for their grain
which viii in a degree make up for the short
crop. The early sowing, Rcod blowing and
good general farming, will tell this year more
than ever BEFORE There is one farmer at least
who will not suffer greet deal if the crops are
all lost He is l. V. Tracy of North of Burlil,g-
ton, who was wise enough to start milking six
COWS a wear ago. .
Mr.. Tracy was SEN BY an Independent re-
porter the other day and stated that his COWS
bad made on the average for him, $3l apiece
during the past year, besides the family had all
the butter and milk that was needed
The Independent has ever advocated the
dairy business for this country in connection
with farming and readers, sooner or later,
whether you believe us or not, or whether you
want to milk cows or not, you will have to do
it. 1t means work, but it's the only safe; sane
method Tor this country
