One does not hear it said so often as
formerly that there are no longer such
opportunities for young men as were
open to their grandfathers Leslie NJ.
Shaw, formerly secretary of the treas
ury, in speaking Of his return to active
commercial life the other day, ex-
claimed "Oh, the opportunities that
there are in this country for the young
man of push and enterprise! They are
almost limitless. TO me the field of
business is as alluring as any romance
ever written. There are always new
chapters opening, new characters de-
veloping, new plots thickening." This
is the kind of talk that has taken the
place of the old wall over the good
times that have passed.

In the extreme southwest of Africa, in
section known as Damara land, or
Hereroland. 1t has a coast Tine Of 400
miles. On the north is Guinea, and the
British possessions surround it on the
south and east. The country some
years ago came into the possession of
the Germans. In the mountain region
1t is fertile, and in spots wheat can be
raised. Copper and iron are said to
be abundant, but the country has been
prospected but little as regards the
mineral wealth. Since the Germans
have been in possession some attempts
have been made to work the country.
Windhoek is the principal town in the
northern section. The diamond find is
many miles from the town, and near
the coast, in a section of country not

MARKET DAY A WINNER.

Devils Lakes first Market day was
indeed gratifying to all concerned, as
the success of the venture far out
classed the brightest expectations of
everyone. 1t took the proportions of
mammoth Fourth of July celebra-
ton, minus the fire crackers and other
disagreeable features. It is the first
time in many years that Devils Lake
has attempted anything of this char
acter. The Chautauqua is generally
In session about the Fourth of July
and the people have always stood be-
Lind that institution with the LOYALTY
which is at all times apparent with
them, and for this reason there has
not been any celebration and hence
no opportunity to demonstrate what
the business element of this city can
do.
When 1t is take. into consideration
that only weeks time was consumed
in advertising this event, soliciting
the support of the people, and making
all arrangements, the success of the
venture is nothing short of marvellous.
The floats that were in the parade
would do credit to a celebration in
city much larger than ours after hav-
ing been agitated for several weeks.
1t but shows what the people Of Devils
Lake will do when they get together
on anything.
We would feel that our comment on
this affair would be incomplete if we
failed to mention the part that our
fellow townsman frank Hyland took
In it. Without his energy and push in
the affair it would not have been the
success that it was. He took it up
with his customary energy and was
backed by the unanimous support of
the bushes men of Devils Lake.
While it was a great success, it
would be impossible to form any sort
of an idea of what a gigantic affair
IL COulU nave Deen maze had 1t had
more time for properly arranging for
everything and advertising it prop
erly.
One thing is sure the citizens of
Devils Lake are we'll pleased with it,
those who attended from outside the
city were well pleased and everything
about it savors of satisfaction. This
is but the starter and it is the feeling
of everyone concerned that this
should now be made an annual affair,
and the experience gained by this, the
initial event will aid greatly in max
ing it grander and more successful
next time.

HOW THE FARM Frs TAKE THE.
= APPEAL: -,

Bryan's appeal to the farmers for
contributions to his campaign fund has
met with a chilly response, from the
tillers of the soil. We print below
an open letter from a farmer which
gives the matter in nut shell:
w. J. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb.
Dear Sir have read the appeal
made by you and Mr.. Kern for cam
paign funds. Your story of the con-
tribution of the Swede farmer is very
touching indeed-just the thing to
touch other farmers with.
Il am farmer, but was born in In
diana-not in Sweden, and am not
surprised to hear that johnny Kern
wants money, as he most always does.
But | thought since you had got to
be a farmer you were better fixed, as
most farmers are in good shape now,
having made lots of money since 1896,
and are still coming it, thanks to good
crops and high prices.
Our cattle, hogs, corn and wheat
and most everything else we raise are
higher right now than ever, and we
get spot cash for the stuff. The only
sort of farmers who are not making
money are the fellows who do not
raise anything to SELL
| am one of the thousands who
could give your campaign fund hund-
red dollars and hardly miss it, but |
would rather give it to insure condi-
tons to remain as they are. am not
afraid of single predatory corpor-
alton on the face of the earth so
long as get good prices and buy
manufactured things, machinery, etc.
cheaper than l used to buy them, and
can ride on railroads cheaper than
ever
The corporations certainly have not
the best of the farmer, whatever they
may have of politicians.
Your own appeal for funds is proof
that you know where the money is,
and who has it, and you have the
cheek to ask lis to give it up to you
to use to change conditions! Well,
you can't have it, Bre'r Bryan. pre-
fer to invest my 500 in young mule
and not Democratic mule either.
am afraid you can never. again
raise as big fund as you had in 1896,
when the silver trust put up it's big

They have not so soon forgot what the
conditions were when Bryan's party
was In power. When Mckinley was
elected in 1895 the biggest stocksfn
