CONDITIONS AT AMBROSE.
John Hteiand Reports That, Although
Everything Comes High, There is
no Suffering.

John Efteland drove in from Ambrose
last Saturday, arriving here after a
trying drive of two days. He made a
welcome call on The Tribune, and told
US that while fuel and other supplies
came pretty high in his town, still there
was no suffering to speak Of. Supplies
for the mercantile establishments are
hauled over by team from Flaxton,
where many cars of merchandise billed
for Ambrose have been sidetracked for
several weeks past, and the charge
made by teamsters for the haul is Sl.50
per 100 pounds, so that it is not at all
surprising that consumers are taxed
considerably above the ordinary for
commodities. Ignite coal is hauled in
from a distance of between Is and 80
miles, and sells in the town at from $40
to Sl2 per ton, but there is not any
kick made against the price, and the
supply has thus far been quite equal to
the demand. Taken all in all. circum-
stances considered, John says the peO-,
ple Of the town are not faring bad at
all. and everyone appears perfently
reconciled to the fact that conditions
now prevailing will undergo no change
before the first of April next, the rail-
road company having made public an
nol,ncement that the line is abandoned
and will not again be opened for traffic
before that date. ssa'

Seven short years ago what is now
known and famed the country over as
the "Bowbells country" was ought but
vast prairie waste with but here and
there, far apart, the monotony relieved
by appearance of lone sod hut of
some hardy settler who saw and be-
]ieved in the great future Of the coun-
try. The then hamlet Of Bowbells,
later organized village, and now char
tered city of Bowbells, was then COM
prised of a shabby railroad section
house, a couple of shack stores and
small lumber yard and machinery shed.
From that small beginning the place
rapidly sprung into prominence, not by
the "boom" route, but through unex-
ampled business opportunities which
shrewd business men, visiting the
country, could perceive and were not
slow to take advantage Of. From that
small beginning the place has steadily
forged ahead year by year till at pres
ent it stands forth as one Of the most
inviting and prosperous young cities of
the state, having population of about
900 intelligent, wide-awake and up-to-
date people, three substantial banks,
six large general stores, three we'll
stocked hardwares, four groceries, two
good local papers, three large agricul-
tural implement and machinery depots,
four lumber yards, seven grain eleva-
tors, with quite as many more inde-
pendent grain buyers, two clothing
stores, three hotels, four well-stocked
livery stables, three blacksmith and
carriage shops, one large feed mill, har.
ness shop, three barber shops, mer.
chant tailor, and the usual quota of at.
torneys and real estate and loan agents
all doing a prosperous business ir
their respective lines. The city is sub
stantially built, a number of fine brick
store buildings and many of the grand
est private residences in this part q
the state standing out as mute evidences
of the faith its people have pinned ii
the city's future. The principal streets
are graded up and cement sidewalks
have replaced the old plank ones, while
an up-to-date system Of sewerage and
waterworks are about to be installed,
and a well-organized fire department
insures the city's safety against the de.
vouring element. In the matter of edu.
cational facilities the city boasts one. Of

Gus products of combustion are thrown


directly into the atmosphere we
breathe. Above all things, they should
never be used in sick room. In one
instance, called upon a patient in \
small room which was heated by a ker-
osene heater. The room was so tightly
closed that l almost staggered upon
taking my first breath of the atmos-
phere The oxygen Of the room was so
nearly exhausted that there was just a
small yellow flame, in fact, it was
scarcely burning. AS soon as the air
rushed into the room, the flame burned
up brightly. The patient in this case
was almost in a stupor, but, strange to
say, did not realize that there was any,
thing the matter with the atmosphere.
Very large kerosene lamps are some
times used for heating, of course, with
bad effects upon the atmosphere. Cas-
oline stoves and even gas ranges should
not be used in the winter time unless
provided with a vent in connection with
the chimney for carrying off products
of combustion.
If a proper amount of fresh air was
furnished, and if we did not live in too
close and warm an atmosphere, we
should be Just as robust as and more
| free from disease in North Dakota
than in any other state in the Union,
for the reason that we do not have
sudden changes of temperature and
atmosnherical conditions: Many peo-
pie believe that when one has any lung
trouble, they must be protected from
the cold and fresh air. Nothing could
be more erroneous. The fact is that
thew need more fresh air than well
person. If the individual has pneumonia
or consumption, and part of the lung
is out of commission, the part which is
well, must, necessarily, work harder to
make up for the part to which the all
does not enter. If, on top Of this, the
atmosphere is extremely foul, anc
loaded with poisons which have been
breathed off, we futher embarass the
lung and render the chances of recov
ery very much less. Most people now
understand that consumption can be
cured by fresh air alone; but to do thi!

to treat such cases in this state. On

good for the officers and the service.
American officers Of the army and navy
are practically without exception hon-
orable men and it is calling to say the
least to be compelled to remain silent
while some man appointed over them,
that he may bolster up the adninistra-
ton, decides what is the best plan of
procedure for the good Of the service.
It has been ever thus, but the gag is
drawn tighter from year to year over
mouths of those who have the service
most at heart.

stop to consider that most prominent
politicians of today are known by their
first name or "all' their name? Will

become prominent until he was COM
PEELED to use all the names he had to
be distinguished from the other Smiths.
And while going over the names of al
legged great men with long names, do
not omit William "Jay'' Brian, with
accent on the middle name.
The halls of Congress are not liber-
ally patronized during set speech un-
less there is going to be some "fun, :"
but when Senator LaFollette of Wiscon-
sin starts in there is strictly Demo-

HEALTH POINTERS.
Furnished for Tribune Readers by II.
II. HeaIy, N. D., Superintendent
of the State Board Of Health.

At this season of the year, the ques-
tion of fresh air and good ventilation is
All extremely important one, especially
in a cold climate like North Dakota,
for the reason that when the thermom-
eter registers very low, it is hard to
heat building 1t is, therefore, GUS
tomary to put on storm windows and
make the building as tight as possible.
Many put on storm windows without
ventilators. Many more have ventila-
tors which are altogether too small to
let in sufficient amount of fresh air,
even if left open all the time. 1t is
calculated that three thousand cubic
feet of air is required by each adult
person every hour in order to be in per-
feet health. The great majority of
people do not get anywhere near that
amount during the winter months.
Therefore, colds, pneumonia, lagrippe,
bronchitis and consumption are very
prevalent. Many more emerge in the
spring very much devitalized ("run-

Washington, D. c., Jan. 81, 1907.
To The Bowbells Tribune:
The enforcement of the regulations
of the Civil Service Commission has
brought about a great change in the
personnel of the service. Theoretically
the selection Of the best individual for
the position will produce the best re-
results, but the reverse has been the
case. The government gets fair
service from its thousands of workers
by comparison of the good and the bad,
but under the spoils system all the i'm
portant Offices were filled by political
vagrants, and the amount of work
done was not worth considering.
This condition still exists today to a
considerable extent in the appointive
Offices. A man is appointed to have
charge of branch of the Government
service. and within few weeks he
comes out in the papers with an elabor-
ate scheme of reorganization. What
are the facts? The employees are not
allowed generally to have a word to
saw about the merest routine detail.
They nurse their ambitions and study
the system of operation of the work,
and when the new chief comes in, they
run to him with their ideas and he puts
two ard two together and promulgates
an innovation. Then after the change
is made, no one is listened to until
another change is made. For instance,
the Land Office Of the Interior Depart
ment will soon have another head.
Wonderful ~ things will be forthcon'
ing within a few weeks after the new
head assumes charge, although it has
required years for the employees te
gain a working knowledge of The
elaborate system of public lands.
Army and navy officers and civil EN-
ployees Of the Government must fight

sin to be caught talking to Congress

rests with those placed at the head O
