different points, running all the

is understood that the average will
be about 30 per cent.

What a difference a few sun
shiny days make in the views peo-
pie take of their conditions and of
those ofthe world generally. Cold
winter months, late spring, food
scares and personal troubles are re-
moved as if by magic. From the
depths of the deepest pessimism
the citizen is boosted to the supre-
ment heights Of optimism, and
sings a gladstone song of the pos
sibilities and future greatness of
North Dakota. Sunshine is a
wonderful thing. It warns the
hearts of the cold and forces them
to acts of charity and kindness.
1t causes great plans for the future
in all that concerns men most.
North Dakota has more sunshine
than most states, which partially
accounts for the hopefulness and
boyancy of it's people and their
success in life.

There appears to be a spirit Of
irrepressable poetry in the air
First Governor Burke sends out an
unusually poetical Arbor day
proclamation and now Commander
Bigelow Of the G.. A. r. Of the
state follows with a Memorial day
proclamation that takes rank with
the best, in which he says:
That sweetly solemn day, so
dear to the heart of every citizen,
and doubly dear to the heart Of
the veteran who more than two
score years ago led to its inception
has now become an institution Of
the land as firmly rooted as indie
pendence day itself, and we'll it
should, for in the whole worlds
history no more beautiful senti-
ment could be expressed than is
the fidelity Of the loyal living to
the loyal dead. The observance
of Memorial day has become SO
wide spread that at the present
time scarcely a city or town can be
found in this republic that does
not in some manner pay tribute to
the nations honored dead And
what a graceful form the tribute
takes. The fresh and fragrant
flower produced by the power Of
natures God, and the stainless flag
with it's stars and stripes emble-
matte of thirteen colinies that gave
it birth and of the forty-fve states
that support it at the present time
Glorious blending-God and coun-
try. How fitting it is then that in
death the graves of our country's.
saviors should be crowned by the
emblem of the watchword that was
theirs in life. Let the whole pat
riotie world including the CON-
rades of the Grand Army, regard
the day with honest pride, and
look upon it's coming as the bright
est jewel in the crown that decks
the brow of the Union vetran.
Comrades will therefore observe
Thursday, May 80, 1907, as Mem
orial day.

order Of the Minnesota Railroad

New Law Firm.

new Law rim.
The law firm of Mockler & John
son of this city,has purchased the
Office building of r. A. Lamb at
Washburn and will open a branch
law Office in that city May first.
The Washburn Office will be in
charge Of Vigo III. johnson, the
junior member of the firm, which
is an assurance that end of the
business will be in excellent
hands. The firm of Mockler &
johnson has grown into an i'm
mense law business and is rapidly
becoming one of the statewide
known firms, the clientele having
spread beyond the confines of Bur-
leigh county. Both Mr.. Mockle1
and Mr.. johnson are exceedingly
popular in this city and the only
regret expressed over the new ar
rangement is that Mr.. johnson
will practically become a resident
of Washburn. He has been here
but a year or two, but in that time
has made a great many friends and
will doubtless have the same good
fortune at Washburn. MI. Mock
Ter will have charge Of the Bis
marck office and look after the
large business Of the firm here.
The people Of Washburn are to be
congratulated in having this
firm represented there Bis

Peterson Machine Co.'S. Editorial.

This is not a dream of the Rare
bit fiend, but a glorious Fact.
We are really in earnest when we
say that we r going to reduce our
stock of Farm Implements. That's
why we are offering them at prices
unheard of before. Competitors
don't seem to realize our in
tentions, and have been trying to
beat ou" prices, but we know they
cannot continue. W. are here,
and we have an enormous stock to
dispose of, and we are going to
force prices down., when as a
matter of fact, manufacturers and
jobbers are advancing prices.
For instance; Following a SD adj
vance last fall, there was. last week
another 5% advance put on farm
wagons, making the same wagon
cost the dealer approximately $500
more than last year. Do you know
that we started out this spring with
IS wagons on hand from last sea-
son; These coast us$6,OO less than
they would right now, besides we
are cutting the old price all to
smithereens. The same applies to
gang plows. We we're caugh
with an enormous stock on hand
which came in to late for last falls
trade, in fact everything in the
line of farm Implements is going
to be sold at prices that will APP
peal to you. We want to make a
cleanup, and have decided that
this is the year todoit. We would
not be surprised to see wagons sell
for from 800 to 500 next year,
and everything in farm imple-
ments will go skywards in like pro-
portion. Remember that all deal
ers have been up against gradual
advances for a year or two, but
have stood for it, but these adj
vances now amount to so much
that he must advance his price or
go out Of business. We are not
out of business. Weare not
advertising a CLOSING out sale" or
"Fire Sale". It is a business
proposition to reduce a stock which
is to large. What is our loss is
your gain.
Yours truly
