more Of your time. / simply want to
say in closing that you be little more
moderate on that proposition. Don't ad I;
vertise any part Of the country bad.
Write equally well about all Of it. There
should not be any bad in North Dakota
You don't make the good look any better
by telling something worse than 1T is.
You real estate men, you are missionaries
and a missionary has to be q peculiar
class of a fellow and admit that is the
kind OF fellows We are. You have a kind
OF work to do that makes you one Of the
great factors and really the mostimp port
ant factor in building up the state.
North Dakota cannot come into the full
measure of what it should be without
population, and the more people North
Dakota has, The better will be her con
dition. i don't care where you go, no
matter how populons q state, it has too
few people and whatever you do tell
everybody wherever you 60 that there Is
nothing that is bad in North Dakota.
Everything here is good. and you win
run very few chances, particularly out Of
the state, because I never have seen,
never have noticed such q unanimity in
opinion as there is about a North Dako-
hen he gets out Of the state. They
are absolutely the best liars about their
state Of any lot Of people ! have ever
seen. And North | akota will never get
bad reputation from the tales that is
told Ct it by the people who live here.

gentlemen with no thought but to make

PROHIBITION FOR GEORGIA.
No Disorder Mars Closing Days Of
Liquor Regime.

ATLANTA. Ga. December 31.-Because
the prohibition law. enacted by the last
session Of the Georgia legislature. pro-
hibits the manufacture or sale of intoxi-
eating liquors from and after January
1, next" the point has been raised that
the law does not become effective until
January 2.
1t is the opinion Of leading attorneys
that the point is well sustained, but as
all city licenses expire December 81, 1t Is
not believed advantage will be taken of
the additional day by saloons and whole
sale houses.
Notwithstanding that only one more day
is left before prohibition becomes effective
no disorder is seen and no trouble is an
ticipated. The city authorities are pre-
pared to act quickly should the occasion
arise. Several saloons have already sold
out their stock and closed UP.

less than the estimated cost OF public inn
already authorized. The con-
troller announces that he will ask the
next legislature to amend the state con-
stitution so as to enable the city to in

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The last day of the year on the Wash
ington Stock Exchange was a time OF
cheer and good feeling and hopefulness,
and that state Of mind and expression on
the part Of the brokers were due, in part
at least. to the improved condition OF the
local market. as shown by the advance in
prices and the changes made in the fg-
ures.
The most notable In the latter respect
was achieved by the preferred stock OF
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company. which sold In a quotation lot Of
fifty shares up to 69k and broken lots
went as high as 70. At the close the bid
was 10 and the asking price n.
The advance made IN the former figure,
as compared with the closing bid of yes
terday. was exactly 81 Of q point. which
is big Jump in the present state Of tho
market and tins highest price attained by
this security since the depression set In
last fall.
There was no trading in the bonds dur
ing the call. but afterward the bid ad-
vanced TO IN without bringing out any.
The plentiful supply Of these securities
which seemed to exist a few weeks ago
has apparently now disappeared. and the
ascent to better levels Is being made
without bringing out very much.
Mersenthaler also attained higher 1ev-
els, and a tent share lot sold for la1. Yes
terdsy the stock vas for sale at 100.

BOTTLE BLOWERS RESUME.
No Truce, However, in the Window
Glass Fight.

MILLVILLE. N. j., December 81
Three thousand glass bottle blowers have
returned to work in the large glass plants
here after shutdown OF ten days.
That there will be a stop now inn
any Of the local plants before July Is
very improbable, as the companies claim
that they were never more rushed with
orders than at present. Their only pres
ent difficulty is in securing enough help.
The movements Of both the Amalgamated
Window Glass Workers Association and
the Manufacturers association. during
the past week indicate that neither or
ganization intends to sue for peace in the
wage scale controversy.
The conferences which have been held
almost weekly are. by mutual agreement,
at an end. and no movement toward set
thing the differences has been called for
a couple of weeks. The deadlock will
continue and the factories will remain
idle for months to come.

Early Advances Wiped Out.

In the early part of the business session
advances. which. in number of cases,
amounted TO about one point or there
abouts, were commonly scored but by the
middle of the afternoon these gains were
generally converted into corresponding net
declines. There was little news relating
to one stock or another. and such gossip
as accompanied the transactions was of
the same purely technical character that
has been heard Of late. Atchison natural
ly gave a rather pronounced reflection to
the statement Of earnings published to-
day. but equal maximum declines were
scored in other instances.
AS has been the case for several weeks,
Union Pacific and Reading furnished
large proportion of the total transactions,
but aside from the fact these stocks ap-
pear to have been selected as the best
mediums of speculation, by the profess
sfonal element, there was little to be
deduced from the trading in those is
sues.
The United States Steel shares were
comparatively heavy. but otherwise the
industrial and miscellaneous stocks show
ed a somewhat smaller degree Of pres
sure than WAS exhibited in the railway
list.
Pennsylvania was exceptionally heavy
throughout the whole Of the business ses-
sion. chiefly in connection with the fur
thef predictions that the November state
ment of the company would set forth an
exceedingly heavy reduction in earnings.
