new YEARS GREETING
And a H0mily Based on the Great
est Thing in the World, Which
You Might Adopt as a
Rule of Life as you
Go Along.
From Monday s Dai v.

1.-THE old year lies a-dying," dear
ARGUS greets you on it's rounds, 1906
will have been shrouded for the grave
and laid in the sepulchre of the unre-
turning past, and our wish is that the
mornings dawning may usher in for
you,each and all, a bright and prosper
Gus and happy New Year.
And if you would make it bright and
happy, with no flaw to mar the re-
Prospect at its closing-if you will it
so-let charity be your rule Of life; for
whatsoever you may achieve and have
not charity you are nothing that
charity which "suffereth long and is
kind, envieth not, seeketh not his
own, is not easily provoked, thinketh
no evil, rejoiceth not in inquiry but in
the truth; beareth all things, believeth
all things, hopeth all things, endureth
all things" e
So St. Paul believed and taught, as
did. also, the other apostles. They be-
lieved, and they have taught us to be-
lieve, that before all things, above all
things, beneath all things, Is the divine
charity, the love of God-infntte, as
God is infinite; everlasting as God is
everlasting. The charity by which God
that they might be blest as He is b1est,
perfect as He is perfect, useful as He is
useful. This charity, which is Gods
essence, might be content in Itself, be-
cause it is perfectly at peace in itself;
and yet cannot be content in itself,
just because it is charity Tor love) and
therefore, must be going forth upon
errands of love, of mercy, rewarding
those whom it finds doing their work
in their proper place, and seeking and
those who are lost and out of
their proper place.
This is the charity that "never fail |
eth"-as God never fails. Believe this
it with all your heart, and
you cannot know other han that hap
which surpasseth all under
pens to you, or to your loved ones,
happens out of the eternal charity of
God, who cannot change, who cannot
hate, who can be nothing but what He
is, and was, and ever will be-love-I
Lowell! And in this love, we pray
you, trust when there seems nothing
else left to trust in on this whole
And when ST. Paul tells you,a as he
in this beautiful chapter on char
lty, Il Cor. KID, to low charity, to
for charity, because it is the most
ex cellent way to please God, and to
gain hat eternal virtue which will
abide forever in Heaven. when all wis
1om and learning which men have had
On earth shall seem to Us, when we look
back at them, as a child IS lessons do to
grown man. When st. Paul tells you
TO try after charity he only tells you to
be like God himself; to be perfect even
rs your father in Heaven is perfect, to
and forbear, because God does so
to give and forgive, because God does
so to love all, because God loves all,
md willeth that none should perish,
but that all should come to the knowl-
edge OF the truth.
So may it be with you, beloved, dur
the new year on which we are about
to enter.

An Explanation.
EDITOR ARGUS;

EDITOR ARGUS;
I notice a communication in yester-
days ARGUS by Mr.. Matthew'S, in
which he promises more than / think
can be done, both as to cut in rate and
payment of debt, (if debt referred to be
for money borrowed for enlargement
The debt made for enlargement ought
not to be paid by the Board of Public
Works, which would mean the users of
lights we're buying and giving to the
town property.
The debt is 81 900, and the Electric
than that of property added to the
plant as turned over to the first Board
OF Public Works. I do not think the
rate can be put at 10 cents maximum,
as the towns which have that rate
usually pay to the lighting plant some
thing for public lighting, and, as far as
I can learn, with better equipment
than ours.
Some reduction can be made in the
rates, and better service given, when
the plants are consolidated. The light
ing plant ought to be owned and con-
trolled and run by the town for the
town. Some saving can be effected by
increasing the salary of the Mayor and
having him look after the public plants
and more by consolidating the office of
Secretary of Board and Aldermen.
I would call attention to the fact
that Mr.. Mathews signed his article as
an individual and not as the consider
ed action of the board of public works.

According to the state school
census the population Of North

ring the past two years. The to-
tai population Of the state today is
672,671 people There are 10000

increasing by leaps and bounds.
Figures given out by the COM
mission of the general land office
show that the public lands Of the
northwest are being rapidly set
tied by homesteaders. During the
past year 1,l34, 1856 acres we're filed
on in North Dakota, 842,862 acres
in South Dakota, and 353,295 in

year we're greater than that of any
year since the boom in the north

SEEMS WELL
SATISFIED
Thinks the People VIII Insist on
Some Reason for Making
Changes.
Can Our Growing State Afford to
Swap Horses in the Middle
of the Stream?

Senator Hansbrough arrived in
the city yesterday afternoon and
, will remain until after the Elks'
meeting. He will speak at Carpio
Monday evening, the %, and also
at Donnybrook, Tuesday after
noon, the 20, at the farmers big
festival. From Donnybrook he
goes to Crosby and will speak
there on the 31st on the occasion
of the anniversary Of the compe-
ton of the railroad.
In response. to injuries by an
Optic representative the senator
said:
"To be here just in time to at
tend the reception and celebration
at the Russell mill was a great
privilege. What impressed me
was the great number of people
present and their metropolitan ap-
pearance. It was a scene that
could not be duplicated outside OF
great city, save in North Dakota
The mill is a mammoth affair, and
and will be of vast benefit in this
section. With your cheap fuel
you should have other manufacture
ing concerns of equal importance
and magnitude.
"Politics? Well I am very we'll
satisfied with the situation. With
out disparaging any of the many
candidates for the senate, [ have
no doubt the people will demand a
pretty good reason for a change
It is a serious business PROPOSE
ton. Can our growing state,
which has excellent standing at
the nations capital, afford to swap
horses in the middle of the stream?
Up to the present time North Da-
kota, like New England, has main
tained a pretty steady front in re-
gard to representation at Washing
ton. This is the secret of New
England's prestige and power.
Most of the western states, except
North Dakota, have fallen into the
habit of displacing their senators
and members. 1t has proved te be
a losing policy. I may take sell
fish view of it, yet it is the correct
view.
"Roosevelt don't want the presi-
dency again, but the American
people want him. He will take it
he cannot refuse it-if it comes
to him spontaneously, as l think
it will. In any event the republi-
cans will win. Taft is my second
choice.
"Few people.in the east realize
what a wonderful country you
have here, but they are coming to
realize it most emphatically. Just
keep on pushing. Avoid local dis
sention. Grown Folks are too big
to quarrel over small matters.
Everybody is prospering. There
is plenty for all. Evening Times.

make that trip. In 1869 we left

We proceeded on the trip. Moth
ing of interest happened, except
the river woulG be full of game,
such as deer, buffalo, geese and
ducks. We delivered the vege-
tables to all the posts, except Bu-
ford. After leaving Stevenson the
weather turned cold and kept
growing colder. Floating ice made
our progress very slow. On Oct.
22, when at a point about two
miles river closed. When it turned
cold we put the vegetables in the
hull of the boat, built fires and
had men to watch them and in that
way we kept them from freezing.
We had two Rec Indians on the
boat as it was the custom in their
day to have some friendly Indians
along as hunters to furnish meat
for the boat. We sent them to
Buford to notify the commanding
officer the condition Of things.
The commanding officer sent a
troup of cavalry down and took
Maj. Bannister and his clerk to Blu
ford. A few days later trains of
covered wagons with small sheet
iron stove in each one came and
got the vegetables. [ am told
there never was bushel lost. l
received more credit for that from
the military authorities, including
the quarter master general at
Washington than anything I ever
did for the government Had we
not taken the precaution we did
and lost these is meant that isolat-
ed garrison to live eight months
longer on bacon and canned goods.
AS it was they had plenty Of po-
tatoes, cabbages, onions, turnips,

soldiers had taken the vegetables
the weather turned quite warm
Ice started to move in places. l
