MUST LOOK FOR POUCHES
Some Postmasters Have Failed To
Pick Up The Mail.

Complaint has recently been mad to the
Postofdce Department that a number Of
mail piuches have been lost after having
been thrown of trains passing stations be-
cause the individuals sent TO get the
pouches believed the trains had passed
without dropping the mail In order TO
remedy this situation, the following gem
eral order has been issued by General
Superintendent Alexander Grant, Of tha
Railway Mail Service;
Information received at this office in
dicates that occasionally pouches thrown
of at stations are not discovered and
cared for by postmasters because they are
not dropped in exactly the prescribed
place. It is difficult under all conditions.

pRooREss or HUGHES BooM.

A LTHOUGH Governor Hughes OF new
1 y York, has declared that he is not an as
pirant for the Presidential nomination, his boom
IS in motion in the Empire State. Already he is
being introduced at the country fairs as our next
President This is a sure sign that the governor
is "in the race" His friends have put him there
whether he wishes it or not. 1t would have been
easy for the governor to retire from the eyes OF
the public for the time being, but he has deter
mined TO round the circle and his secretary ac-
companies him. This is the second or third spell
binding trip Of the governor, and he is improving
with experience. The governor is not reiterating
the views OF anyone else, but is standing on his
own platform and declaring for standard in
public office which he considers is badly needed.
At the Washington County On. ~ Fair, his re-
cepton is reported to have been very cordial. lie
will visit other fairs, and explain to the farmers
what he expects in the lines of State railroad leg
islation
Public welfare is the text of all Of the speeches
the governor is making, and he declares strongly
against politicians and special politics.
"A man walks to his political doom who thinks
of anything else but the public welfare in con
necton with public Office is the way the gov
ernor put it for the benefit of his farmer constt-
uents He has also served notice in his speeches
on the big traction companies of New York and
the railroad system of the State generally, that
they must not attempt to defy the public service
commission. Neither corporate nor financial
power will be permitted to interfere with the
compulsion OF Just exercise of public franchises
is what the governor said, and those who know
him best believe that he will attempt to make
good this statement.
Hughes will talk along this line at the various
county fairs, but he will make an important speech
which may touch upon national issues at Buffalo
next week. While his friends have urged him on
a number of occasions to admit that he is can
didate for the Presidency, he has steadfasty re-
fused. He is not expected to depart from this
line, at least until after the next State committee
meeting, but his boomers are trying to influence
him to define his attitude on national issues at
Buffalo, and there is a possibility that he may
do so.
The warmth of the Hughes receptions through
out the State may bring about an effort to retire
"Tim" Woodruff as State chairman. Woodruff
is anti-IIughes, as is we'll known, and has sue
ceeded in keeping the State committee from en-
dorsng Hughes as New Yor<s choice for the
Presidency. But at the meeting in New York
next month there is likely to be "show down.
Former Governor Odell intends to introduce a
resolution advocating Hughes, which was voted
down in the last meeting He is quoted as having
said that the increase in the Hughes sentiment
was having its effect on State committeeman who
were afraid to come into the open before and
Cdell asserts that the majority is behind Hughes.
If this is SO, Mr.. Woodruff may have to retire

GRIp on zee STANDARD ON.

IT WOULD be a curious turn in the govern

pany were Uncle Sam forced to help pay the
large penalty imposed, and yet that is what is
more than likely TO happen. The Navy
Department is puzzled since it became apparent
that the Oil Trust is the lowest bidder through
an agency OF auxiliary company on a large
amount Of luhricating oil, for which proposals
were opened at the Navy Department.
Although the Standard Oil Company did not
appear openly in the bidding, it was represented
by the Vacuum Oil Company, Of New York.
This company was by far the lowest bidder for

The Dickinson Fire & Pressed Brick
company was incorporated in January,
1902, with an authorized capital of
100000. The officers of the company
are David H. beecher, president; c. F.
Williams, vice president; w. s. Rus
sell, secretary and treasurer.
The company owns 200 acres of rich
clay-bearing lands near and adjoining
the city Of Dickinson. Among the va
rious kinds of clay deposits found on
these lands are two excellent grades
of fire clay, rare plastic semi-fre
clay that works into sewer pipe and
fire brick and also burns into fine
buff shade when used for facing brick.
There are also SILICA, iron-bearing
clays, and semi-shales and red clay
that work into fine terra Gotta shades
when made into facing, common and
sand mold bricks.
The analysis of the fire clays COM
pares favorably with the best st. Louis
and English clays.

CARDINAL FEATURE
Noted Boston Educator Will Come to
North Dakota. and Speak at Yves.
ley College In May.

One of the cardinal features of the
program of Wesley college is the
bringing to North Dakota of eminent
educators and thinkers, not only that
the students of Wesley college and of
the university may have the privilege
of meeting these leaders, but that the
people of the state may also share in
this opportunity. This year the initial
course of lectures will be given by
Prof. Borden F. Bovine, Phi. D., LII. D.,
for the past thirty years professor of
philosophy in Boston university and
dean of the graduate school. DR..
Bovine is easily one of the few great
thinkers America has produced. In
addition to his professional and execu-.
erary work. His Theory of Thought
and knowledge, Metaphysics and Phil
csOphy of Theism, among others of his
works, have been long accepted as
standard works, having passed through
several editions.
He has also been in demand for more
popular lectures and such books as his
treatises on the Atonement, the Chris
tian Revelation, The Christian Life are
the printed results. Before the great
educational bodies of the country, in
universities, before conferences and in
other ways Dean Bovine is in con-
slant demand. Within the past year
he has returned from trip around
the world and his journey was a con-
tinuous ovation.
The date, May 1911, is favorable,
occurring as it does at the same time
as the May festival, and it is hoped
that all pastors. educators and all low
ers of the. muses. will plan to be in at
tendance. A better opportunity never
came to North Dakota, and an intelli-
gent and apprec;ative people, such as
are those of this state. will gladly

That the Dickinson Fire & Pressed
Brick company's products are recog-
nized as being superior, it is only nee
essary to mention that the brick from
this plant was adopted and used in the
construction of federal buildings at
Grand Forks, this state, at Waterloo,
Ia, and Seattle, Wash. The fire brick
trade has been successfully prosecut-
ed in st. Paul and Minneapoli in COM
petition with the st. Louis product,
and last year the trade at Billings,
Mont, was especially good on account
of the extensive sugar beet works.
The company is also building up a
good trade in standard shape work
supplies, and during the past two sea-
sons has given particular attention to
stills and water tables, thus displacing
the extensive stone usually shipped in
from the east with better article at
much less cost to the consumer. In
mantel settings the company has also
won an enviable reputation.
