The Independent has sent in an order for a
new type-setting machine-a linotype which we
expect will be here within ninety days This
machine has been made necessary by a great
increase in business, for it is absolutely neces-
|sary that we enlarge and at once. Last week
we printed sixteen pages, and was compelled TO
lsidetrack more than two pages OF advertising
until the present week. The new machine is the
late Model 5, the very latest machine on the
market and will cost, with metal and full equip
ment nearly four thousand dollars.
This is a big undertaking for a weekly news
paper but we have faith in Minot and the coun-
try surrounding this city, and believe that the
people will continue to give US a share OF their
patronage While this machine will DO the
work Of three or four men, we do not contem-
plate cutting down our working force III the
least, but rather intend to increase our capa-
city. When the new machine is installed, we
promise our readers a great Improvement IN
the news service Of the Independent, which at
the present time is equal to that OF any weekly
newspaper in the entire state.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Having Steady Growth.

Minot seems to be fully as good city this
year as it was last, though in the early part OF
the season, it was feared that owing to the
blockaded railroads of last winter, and the Sc
verify of the weather in general, business might
have slight falling Off. Merchants inform the
Independent that their business is better this
spring than it was last, month for month
which in good Indication OF course there
may be a few exceptions, but this is the rule.
Minot is having steady growth, which is a
source of great pleasure to the people OF this
city. The knocker who stood on the street cor
ner 'chawing" tobacco and looking wise, and
telling you that Mnot was only the product Of
a mushroom growth, is not in evidence any
more. Only the broad minded, optimistic citi-
zen has place and to say thai man comes
booster in the land. Why, do you realize what
Minot is doing this year? Forty thousand dol
lars are being spent in pulling down the hills
and grading the streets Practically million
dollars worth OF good buildings are being erect
ed this year.
Residences cannot be put up fast enough,
When the foundation for a new residence is COM
pleted, twenty are alter the owner, wanting to
rent the building soon as it is completed, Of
ten paying the rent from the time that the first
stone is laid. Three new churches are being
erected. A 100000 mill, a huge elevator with
10000 bushels capacity a $40, 900 Masonic
Temple a big three story double store for Roel
& Blakey, 5000 wholesale house for the
Stone, Ordean, Wells Co., the completion OF the
mammoth new Lexington hotel the enlarge
ment Of the Leland at a cost of $4,000, and
many other structures, under the course OF
erection, make Minot the best city in the United
States for it's size.
Who can say at looking at any of these i'm.
provements that Minot is having mushroom
growth? The Kenmare Journal or the Stanley
Sun might be base enough to assert such a
statement, but you can't find people with
brains say word against the Magic City.

Someone Else's Business.

The Glenburn Advance thinks that the Iude-
pendent ought to give it's advertising space to
the Devils Lake Chautauqua free of charge 1t
claims that the Chautauqua is a worthy insti-
tuition and is entitled to free advertising. We
suppose that Bro Gilbertsen thinks that the
Chautauqua ought to get it's job printing for
nothing.
The man who sells tickets at the grounds
ought to do the work free of all charges and
feed himself besides OF course the Chautauqua
is a worthy organization. We never said it
wasn't. John Jones may be running store in
Glenburn. His object may be worthy He
may have a family to support and may be run
ming the store for living. Is thct any reason
Bro. Gilberteen thai you ought to give Mr.
Jones advertising free OF charge
Ofcourse you don't run your business on
those grounds. Then why give Devils Lake
concern free advertising when you would be in
suited if any one OF your Glenburn business men
would ask you to do the same with him.
The Independent is purely business propo-
sition, with advertising space to sell. If we
have any space to give away, we will start and
dish it out at home, and if there is any left,
then we might distribute it among the business
institutions OF the surrounding towns.
Again we repeat, the Devils Lake Chautau-
qua is money making concern. 1t charges

Does 1t Paw?

Owing to labor troubles, Butte, Mont, a
town OF &C, 900, was for some weeks without a
newspaper. 1t was the most impressive object
lesson in advertising, and the worth to a COM
munity of the newspaper The universal test-
mony OF the municipality was, business became
stagnant, people lost interest in the life OF the
city, and all progress was at standstill.
In the big department stores the clerks idled
away their time and the managers displayed
their 'many bargains in vain; the proprietors
fretted and counted the days until the unpaid
fell due. In many Of the stores trade fell off to
such an extent that half OF the clerks were dis
charged. In word, the business OF the city
discovered that it was at the mercy OF the news
papers to keep things moving and had the Ia
Dor troubles continued for any length of time,
commercial retrogression would have been well
under way.
The merchant who did not realize the value
OF advertising, became a convert, and the pa
pers Of Butte are flooded with ads since the
strike was declared of. Some of the merchants
in all towns and cities do not advertise and yet
they manage to do a certain amount of bust
ness-that they succeed is either a peculiar CON-
bination OF circumstances or because their com.
petitors advertise and they got some OF the
crowd, but taken as general proposition, the
welfare OF a merchant much more largely de-
ponds upon the newspaper than is generally
supposed. Intelligent advertising, there being
field, will bring success to any merchant -

He May Dodge 1t.

Physicians who prescribe straight whiskey
or other undulated liquors to their patients
and fill the prescription themselves are liquor
dealers, says an exchange. This is what John
w. Yerlles commissioner OF internal revenue
has ruled on the subject and to make the fact
more impressive he has ordered that every ply
sician so prescribing and furnishing liquors to
his patients must pay the regular federal liquor
dealers tax OF $25 year Hereafter the ply
sician who stimulates his patient from his pri-
vate flask is liquor dealer. What Mr.. Yerkes
says in regard to the liquor trade goes unless
reversed by the United States supreme court II,
however, the doctor is wise he can dodge the
tax by ningling some drug with the booze. II
this is done the connection becomes medicine
and the doctor ceases to be purveyor OF alco-
holic beverages. But he mustn't call it a cock
tail. There's another ruling that would get
him on that The text Of MIR. Yerkes, ruling is
as follows: A physician cannot prescribe, and
furnish to his patient alcohol or whiskey, or any
other alcoholic liquor not compounded into a
medicine with drugs or medicinal substances,
without inv diving himself in special tax liabil-
ity under the internal revenue laws, even though
he thus sells such liquor for use US medicine only

OF Great Value.

The Independent desires to call the attention
OF the farmers to the tact that shallow surface
narrowing is OF great value during dry sea-
son. Such narrowing keeps dust blanket
over the ground, breaks up the capillary sys-
tenn which carries considerable moisture from
the soil, thus conserving the moisture already
in the ground. Proper working of the soil will
save an amount of moisture equal to many
aims.
