TRAVELLERS.
Things asISee Them
By Chappie

Don't let the catalogue houses scare
you. If there was catalogue house
in every large city in the land there
would still be retailers left to sell
goods to. and thinking it over, some
one would have to sell the catalogue
houses their supplies.
This for the YOungster.
When the shrewd looking, chilly
old buyer goes to smothering you over
with objections to your goods. and
prices. just remember he would do
the same thing if you were selling
government bonds at the price of
waste paper.
Some Sense to This.
Selling man what he wants is
nothing artistic. It's selling man
what he really needs and what will
prove profitable to him, but he doesn't
know it. That's the trick people are
paying fine figure salaries for.
Adaptability is the biggest word in
the English language for a CONNER
cial traveller. The man who hasn't
got it. no matter how many other
brilliant qualities he may have, his
name is MUD.
Enough. -Chappit.

DOLLAR WHEAT SCHEME.

The meeting of wheat growers of
this state which has been called for
the purpose of fixing the price of
hard wheat at one dollar a bushel
and providing the ways and means
for accomplishing this result, deserves
much more attention from the farm
ers of the state than it is likely to
receive. For years the wheat grow
ers, and in fact the producers of every
agricultural commodity, have been
giving attention to the best methods
of making two stalks grow where be-
fore but one grew, and as result
the farms are producing the fullest
harvests possible. But while the
farmers have thus been giving atten-
ton to the best ways of increasing
their output, they have given little, if
any, attention to the price they were
to receive for their products when
marketed, and as result they have
accepted whatever the buyer chose to
give.
In every commodity which is pro-
duced save that of the farm, the pro-
Queer figures the cost of production
and a reasonable income on his in
vestment, together with a percentage
of profit and from the sum total of
these items he fixes the price his COM
modify is worth on the market. Not
SO the farmer. He plants his crop
and takes his chances on drouth and
other disasters, harvests the same and
accepts a price with the making of
which he has had no more to do than
the king Of Abyssinia.
Yet with all this subserviance to
the interests which have nothing to
do with the production of the COM
modify, the farmer is the primary
owner of the very things with which
the markets of the world can be most
easily controlled. The food stuffs of
the people are in his keeping, and
did he desire he could so handle them
that he could dictate the prices which
they would bring, and do it without
recourse or appeal.
It is true that the farmers have
never attempted until late years to
do this in systematic manner. 1t
has, however, been done by the spec
ulators and the producers have to
some extent reaped a reflex benefit
from the same, as was the case in
the celebrated Letter wheat deal of
a few years ago. But they have never
been the primary makers of the mar
ket for their own products. This is
the purpose of the meeting which is
called by the American Society OF
Equity to meet within the next few
days. The figure set is one dollar

Heard on the Curb

Charles j. Evanson: I wish some
body would explain the method of
computation OF the heighth OF the
water as shown by the water guage
on the DeMers avenue pier. A good
many people are in doubt as to what
the figures mean. For instance. when
the water was at it's high stage the
old guage showed about 40 while the
city engineers new guage showed
nearly Sc.
City Engineer Smith: How do you
figure from the water. guage on the
DeMers avenue pier? Well, in the
first place the top of the guage, 81
feet. is the level of the Third street
grade so when the water is at Sc you
know the cellar line has been reached.
The old guage will tell how much
water there is in the river but it
gives absolutely no information as to
how far the water is from the city
street or the cellars. The ice has
broken our new guage but it will be
repaired.
F. T. McCrea: 1 came down last
evening from trip through the Dun
seth country. There is considerable
snow in that neighborhood but not so
much as has been reported from

a slight tie-up on account of snow on
Thursday.

the one expression: IAN irresistible

law" 1t begins to look as though
Thaw would have to spend his time
in jail. Had there been seven for
acquittal instead of the reverse. he
would undoubtedly have been let out

ILLUMINATION ON

sides of the question and whose SYM

per 'bushel, and it is interesting to
note that the figure is merely sufii-
GENTLY high to give the wheat grow
ers fair profit for their product,
figured as every other business man
figures his profits.
The plan of fixing this price is that
the farmers shall hold their wheat
until the available supply is so re-
duced that the milling interests-or
rather the consuming markets so
much in need of the product that the
demand will raise the. price to the
figure set by the farmers. In a gen.
eral sense this is a feasible plan.
But there are certain contingencies
which must be met and certain con-
ditions which must be overcome be-
fore the plan can be successfully car
ried into perfect execution. All the
farmers engaged in the production of
any commodity, like wheat, must be
so firmly Joined in the plan that they
will under no circumstances break the
compact. Then plans must be per-
fected by which those producers who
are compelled to secure money on
their crops before the same could be
marketed under the proposed plan can
secure reasonable advance on their
crops, using the stored grain as
collateral. This is merely side line
of the proposed plan, but it will be
found to be decidedly important fea-
ture.

losers of considerable money. But
the confidence which they have dis
played in the same will inspire others
to follow their example and capital
will be brought to the city for in
vestment and that which is available
in the city will be called into re-
QUESTION and the city will experience
a business development unparalleled
in its history as the result.
Such are the advantages for good
which come from the investment of
capital in the city by those who pos.
sess such capital rather than invest
ing it in business outside the city
which improves other communities
and retards our own.

HITS THE HERALD.
Roosevelt Republican Gives Some Rea.
sons for Herald's Onnosifian.

A Roosevelt Republican sends the
Evening Times the following reasons
why the Grand Forks Herald is not
in favor Of Roosevelt for another term
as president" The reasons given are:
Frst-Because Roosevelt would
carry the republican party by an over
whelming majority. and the Herald
claims that not even the purest man
or party can remain pure if he or it
has an overwhelming majority. This
Is the Herald hobby-that even the
best man has his price. One man
looks like thirty cents. and another
one looks like thirty-six per cent.
SecOnd-The reason why Roosevelt
should not be nominated is because
the Evening Times was the first paper
In North Dakota to advocate Roose.
velt's nomination.
Third-Because Senators Hans
brough and McCumber and Congress-
men Gronna and Marshall, the whole
Washington delegation, want Roose-
welt nominated. and are such warm
friends of Roosevelt that the Herald
would have to "go way back and sit
down."
Fourth-Because the entire repub-
lican legislature of North Dakota vot-
ed for Roosevelt's nomination.
Summing up-Since all these re-
publican leaders are for Roosevelt,
the Herald turns its back on the
driver of the political band wagon
Roosevelt-for fear the republican
party win become impure because of
the big majority which Roosevelt
would secure Thus the Herald turns
its face backward toward the demo-
cratic party and shouts, Come on,
democratic boys. l am democrat
and will remain one If you will give
me enough democratic donkey clover
to keep me filed"

BUILDING, THE CITY.

The announcement yesterday in the
news columns of the Evening Times
that some 81 TIE progressive business
men Of the city had purchased the
old Brevoort property and would erect
on it during the summer a business
block which will be credit to the
city in every way, was a source OF
pleasure to every one who desires to
see the city improved civically as we'll
as commercially. Fortunately how
ever both these features are combined
in the contemplated improvements.
1t is not necessary to prove to the
general public that splendid business
structures on the principal streets of
the city are the index of city's pro-
gressiveness and prosperity. 1t is a
self evident truth that dilapiiated
buildings and waste places do more
to detract attention from the real inn
portance of city than anything else,
so far as the stranger is concerned.
The eye-sore which was purchased
yesterday and which will soon be
graced with three story brick struc-
ture, has detracted materially from
the worth Of other property in that
part of the city, valuable as the other
property is.
It is only justice to the men who
have undertaken to convert that piece
of city desert into city beauty, to say
that they have for years been engaged
in the work of improving the city by
the erection of some of the substan-
-tial properties to be found in it. They
have made money in this city from
their business, and they have invest
ed practically every dollar so made
in city property. They have not hesi-
tated to make heavy investments when
such investments would be of benefit
to the city in a public way. They
have erected number of apartment
houses which have done much to fur
nish the residents of the city with
modern dwellings at moderate cost,
and have by this means made the city
more desirable as a home for very
worthy class of citizens.
They have carried on their pay roll
in their own business and the con-
Germs in which they are heavily inter-
ested financially, a large number of
people who have added materially to
the business and wealth of the mer-
chants and other business men of the
city. In fact the name of Dinnie has
been one of the conspicuous ones re-
sponsible for the material growth of
this city.
The erection Of the magnificent
business block which is MANNED for
the Third street property is one of
the most convincing arguments of the
future possibilities of this city. The
entire investment will not be much
short of hundred thousand dollars,
and If the future of the city is not
what the promoters hope for and ex-
pect, they must necessarily be the
