The first number of the Oakes Journal
was issued last week. 1t swings the
name of j. NJ Kellogg at the mast
head as proprietor and publisher, and
has indications of a newspaper that
would merit the hearty support of our
people. The Journal will find the busi-
ness men of Oakes the very best kind
to deal with, and will find The Times
cooperating with it in all measures that
will inure to the material benefit and
upbuilding of the city. The Times is

State Treasurer Peterson has put a
sort of ban on the blind pig1 spotting
business. His refusal to pay warrants
issued in payment of spoilers for the
arrest and conviction of those engaged
in the liquor business contrary to the
law will have a tendency to put the
spoilers out of business. The state
treasurer shows that the law allowing
such rewards was repealed when the
temperance law was enacted and he
refuses to be held liable until the
constitutionality of the law is decided
by the supreme court.

Lidgerwood Broadaxe: When there
was talk of electing Marshall to the
United States senate, Senator McCum-
ber's friends were considerably alarmed
because if Marshall was successful
they thought McCumber's chances
were hurt, because both men came
from the southern part of the state.
But here is an interesting circumstance
that may be viewed for comparisons 8
sake: In Alabama, the two senators,
Pettus and Morgan, came not only
from the same section, but the same
county, the same town, and their resi-
dences were so near each other that a
book could be tossed from one to the
other. Both senators died this year.
Another circumstance which our sena-
tors might find interesting is that both
these men entered the senate poor
men and went to their death as poor,
if not poorer. Senator Hansbrough
certainly hasn't lost any money by being
senator for eighteen years.

Editor Andrews is doing good job
at cleaning up Lidgerwood, and though

countenance in the first round it is the
opinion of The Times that the willy editor
will turn up smiling when the final
round is pulled off. John has opinions
of his own and is always ready to fight
for them.

Lidgerwood,N. D.

Dear Sir: l promised to write you and
intended to do so before this, but have
been very busy. l understand you are
leaving Lidgerwood to locate in Cakes.
l am sorry you did not come and look
us over before deciding to locate else
where. think you would have been
favorably impressed with our town.
Besides being a very pleasant place to
live, nice people, ETC., it is good busi-
ness town. believe you would have
done we'll here.
Perhaps you will think me over
jealous, but have been doing a little
advertising for you. There is a party
here, (W. A. Jackson,) whose wife, I
believe is about in the same condition
that Mrs. McCutheon was. I have
told him of your success with her, and
he perhaps will write you. He says it
is barely possible that he may take a
trip down that way later on. If he
should, he will call on you, and there
are others. In fact, think I would
like to haye my own neck stretched a
little.''
suppose it is too late now to ''head
you Off if you have decided on going
to Oakes, but I believe if you had
would not have caught you. If you
were here, certainly would use what
little influence l might have, in your
behalf, and could probably give you a
room in the McCutcheon mansion. The
later proposition, surely, ought to be a
drawing card.
Wishing you success, wherever you
may locate, am, Yours truly,
e. L. McCutcheon.

from Shreveport as far as five
miles out would mean several
millions at once. If in the next
five years as much as $1,000,000
Is spent in graduated sums. there
is no way to estimate the immense
and incalculable benefits.
shreveport and Caddo parish
are just awaking to their wonder
full future, and this is illimitable.
The city is the richest In the
South, in proportion to popaia-
ton, and God has showered
untold wealth in the lands of
Caddo parish. All that now re-
mains to be done is to go to work
intelligently. develop the city and
parish. 1t is possible in the next
twenty years to have 100000
people in Caddo parish. and over
100, 900 in Shreveport.
"The farm after all is the
backbone of all wealth. Let us
provide the means to make Caddo
parish farms as great wealth pro-
ducers as the Illinois farms.
"Now as to the burden of debt
that some talk about. That is all
rot, senseless and without SUBJ
stance. The thousands who are
going to move here to get the
benefits of what we have already
provided will have to pay it.
"There can be no sound oh
lection to issuing bonds to build
good roads, except from knockers
who are born opposed to improve
ments and will die opposed to
them. The bonds could be sold
to local capitalists, and very
easily to foreign bond buyers.
Let's all 60 to work and help add
these increased millions to

Goods Roads add Millions.

Goods Roads add Millions.
Concerning the subject of good
roads the following reprinted
from Mondays Shreveport Times
brings out some good argument
as showing the great profits to be
made on money invested in better
public roads. Everything said in
the article as applying to Caddo
parish will apply to Winn parish.
The article is rs follows:
A system of good roads extend
ing throughout Caddo parish
would bring thousands of the
very best homeseekers of America
here, substantial people with
means, and who are looking for
such opportunities in q Western
country.
EVERY piece of land in the
parish worth $50 an acre would
jump to $50 an acre or more, and
lin = decade land here would be
worth as much as 1t is Ia New
York, Illinois and Iowa, where
you can't touch it for less than
$3.50 to $3.50 an acre.
sGood roads would develop
the small fruit, trucking and
vegetable industry to colossal
proportions, and every one knows
that this industry properly
handled would add several mil
lions of dollars of new wealth
annually to Caddo parish.
1T would also bring fancy
farmers, stock nurseries, breeding
Establishments, live stock farms
and farms of various products
which are not now local to Caddo
parish.
ssGood roads would put the
entire parish into quick and rapid
touch with Shreveport. Not only
would they add millions of new
wealth, add millions to present
values, but would increase the
Wholesale and retail commerce Of
the city BY milIions each year.
ut would start . network ol

WHAT'S ANAMEl

Names, names, names. Columns
Of names go 10 ill up the Baltimore
daily news papers. It is the same
old name day after day, year after
year. Whether a woman or man is
out on. Charles street or Mount Yer
non Place for Sunday afternoon
walk, or whether they go to the opera
or attend a pink tea, the long list OF
names must be published in the Bal
timore daily press.
Yes, we know that people like tc
see their names in print, lat tlero is
such a thing as a sufeit of names,
aud In the Baltimore papers it is be-
coming disgusting. But, then, what
is the city press TO do when 1t pub
fishes a I6-page or 20-page daily paper,
Il must have something to fiji up with,
and names are as good as anything
else. especially as everybody whose
name is in print buys several extra
copies TO send friends.
II is easy to print names. The re-
porter has only to get down the Bal
timore social directory of the elite 400,
and there they are. 1t reminds us
Of the names, names, names that are
published i'm the Baltimore daily pa
pers every time there is a ball at the

tory Is consulted and the list publish
ed verbatim. II doesn't matter il
some Of the families are dead, or have
been ordered TO Cienfuegos or PinaI
del Ria, their names are published in
the list OF those present at the ball just
the same.
Frequently we have seen the names
of dead peope i'm the list, or people
whose physical Condition would not
permit them TO be present, while the
names Of many who were present are
omitted. It's a great scheme, this
publishing of names everywhere, al
everything, but there is time when
the limit is reached. Now, let the

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in Washington has an expert
statistician who after an exhaustive
examination of the cost of the trans
portation of the United States mails
by railroads find that the Government
pays the road $3l.75 per ton for con-
veying mail matter from New York
To Buffalo but that the Express Com
panies pay only $l2.50per ton between
the two cities for the same weight.
The question is why should the Gov
erument pay more than the Express
Companies:
The same satistieian estimates that
n railway mail car cost 50, 600 and
that the Government pays an annual
rental of s., AT for this ear and that
tho roads subtract $1,000 for main
tenance and repairs, giving the road
net annual profit of $4,247 on an
investment of Sc, 600 and Congressman
Tawney, chairman of the Appropria-
ton Committee has found that there
are postal cars that have been running
for twenty five years and have earned
$l06, l75 each, but he, in fairness.
states that the average life of such
cars is only fifteen years, which
would make their net earnings little
more than $4,000.
These figures suggest that Govern
- ,,,,-,,a~Sbif, and anarafiDu r,airl,s
be one hundred times as profitable
as the patent Office, from which the
United states derives a large annual
profit through fees from inventors.
