Mr.. Bryan's Reply.

Senator Bevcridge'S article on The
Nation, which appeared in the March
issue of the Reader. says: There
can be no danger from the national
government except the danger That
comes from the American people
themselves. acting in common. and
OF course. the people are moi going
to iniure themselves Or their own in
terests'
This is very plausible argument
and il would be- sound but for thc fact
that il entirely oycrIOuks the reasons
which are urged III the defense Of

Must Display Signals

Patrons of the rural free deliv-
cry service will be interested in
an order issued by the Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General to
the effect that hereafter it will be
necessary to display signals on
boxes when they have mail in
them for carriers, as after this
all carriers when serving their
routes, will not be required to
open and examine any mail box
es except those to which they
have mail to deliver, and those on
which signals are displayed to lin
dictate there's mailfor the carriers
to collect. Carriers must lower
signals on boxes after making
collections providing no mail is
left therein, and must display the
signal when they deposit mail for
patrons unless they have made
requests to the contrary.
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1907-09-05
A Warning

The postal laws prohibit plac-
ing written messages in merch-
andise packages or letters on
which less than two cents an
ounce has been paid, and the
provisions of this statute permit
of no waiver Of the penalty pro-
vided.
During the last fiscal year
postoffce inspectors collected
$59,O65 for such violations. In
thousands Of cases a short mem
orandum was placed inside a
package of merchandise on which
postage was paid at one cent an
ounce, while the written matter
made it necessary that two cents
an ounce should have been paid.
Finding that in agreat number
of cases the offense was due to
ignorance of the law, and that
the collection Of the fine usually
works a hardship to the very
poor, especially where written
messages are made in returning
coupons, tags and certificate for
premiums. Postmaster General
Meyer has directed that proper
notices be place in postoffices
warning the public against the
practice.

North Dakota has cheap fuel

state. She is fighting for afreight

Unabated Prosperity

North Dakota is diyersifying
her farm products. Sections OF
the state which a few years ago
werethought to be fit only Tor
grazing purpose are now cultivat-
ed farms. This year has seen
the usual progress made in open
ing up new domain and seeding
it with grains that have made
North Dakota famous. There
are streaks and spots in North
Dakota where the crop is thin.
But the general crop condition is
good. North Dakota, as a state,
will have good buying power this
fall. Her prosperity star contin-
ues on it's way unhindered and
undimmed.
North Dakota never had a
boom. The nearest approach to
it came some years ago, when
land values advanced steadily and
rapidly. But that advance had
been accommodating through the
ten years previous. All at once
the hard working renters in the
east realized what North Dakota
offered them in the way Of opport-
unity. Immigrationimmediately
headed that way in streams.
Cultivation of the land brought
crops that the world wanted and
was willing to pay good prices
for. That is prosperity on a
foundation as firm as the hills.
Wheat, flax, oats, rye, barley,
hay, all of the best quality. Veg
etables that no section of the
earth can surpass. Cattle thor
oughbred and otherwise. The
State Fair recently held at Grand
Forks showing exhibits Of all of
her products, gave a valuable les
sonin North Dakota's advance
ment.
The creamery has been slow in
arriving in North Dakota. People
on the farms have made money
so easily in farming that they did
not care to devote the time to
COWS milking, and all of the trou
BILE that the dairy means. But
gradually North Dakota farmers
are seeing the creamery in its
right light. 1t brings them mon
ey at times of the year when
money is scarce in that state,
and in fact the dairy industry is
such a steady profit maker that
no progressive farmer can do
without it long. Growth Of the
dairying industry is the next
step in the material advancement
of North Dakota.
North Dakota merchants have
made money in the past ten years.
Sure, there have been failures,
but these have not been because
there was lack of opportunity.
The North Dakota farmer buys
good quality merchandise, lives
well, and most of them pay their
bills. The North Dakota mer-

OUR TRIP

The writer in company with M. B.
Hanley returned the latter part of last
week from a visit to Pacific coast
points. While away we had the pleas
ure OF calling on a number of old
time Steele county people, and in each
instance found them all prosperous
and enjoying life.
At Spokane our first stop we visited
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
Patterson, formerly Of Finley, also
Mr.. and Mrs. Hort Long, of Finley.
Both families are nicely located and
are we'll pleased with their new homes.
Here we spent a day and a half and
made many trips out thru the country,
Spokane being blessed with a fine
electric railway system. From here
we proceeded to Seattle, crossing the
Cascade mountains, the most beautiful
mountain scenery on the whole trip.
Seattle is a beautiful city, and
is fast forging to the front as a manu-
featuring point, which together with
it's splendid harbor makes it one of
the best points on the coast. It is a
fight between Seattle and Portland
as to which will be "the city" of the
Pacific coast. Onward from Seattle
to Tacoma and from Tacoma to Port
land ''the City of Roses" Portland
has the distinction of having the
greatest fresh water harbor in the U.
s., excepting of course the cities of
the Great Lakes. It lies one hundred
miles from the mouth of the Columbia
river, which is navigable at all times
for any of the largest OF the ocean
steamers; the western terminus Of
observation-disclosures railway systems;
and has a population of something
over SITS, 600. We had the pleas
ure of going to the summit of Council
Crest, an elevation of 1900 feet, which
overlooks the city, from this point
five ~snow-capped mountains may be
seen on a clear day and it is said that
one may look into seventeen counties
in Washington and Oregon. Seattle and
Portland are both wrapped in a beauti-
full panorama Of natural scenic splen-
dor and on every hand will be found
traces of the Creators handiwork.
From Portland we visited Salem, the
capital of Oregon. Here we met u
old friend and neighbor, Cyrus
Skinner. Cyrus is the same good
natured fellow as of yore and is nicely
located on a fine fruit farm ABOUT six
miles south of Salem. We drove out
from Salem with the intention of
spending an hour or so and get back
in time to catch the late afternoon
train south, but this Isl" would not
listen to and before we knew it the
afternoon was whiled away and we
had the pleasure of eating supper with
old friend, shortly after which I'VE
drove back to the city and that eve
ming continued our journey southwark.
Our next stop was Corning, Calf,
a beautiful little city nicely located in
the northern Sacramento valley and
surrounded by orchards, and Vine
yards, consisting of oranges, peaches,
pears, apricots, plums, prunes, nuts,
grapes, etc. AT this point we spent
one day and a night.
Our next stop found US at Oakland
just Gro the bayfrom sanFrancisco.
Just before reaching Oakland the
Southern Pacific Railway has what is
said to be the largest ferry in the
world. On our trip south there were
three passenger trains together with
the engines on the ferry and on the
return trip there were two full trains.
