A PACKING PLANT.

The Armour Co. IL to establish an
immense packing plant in Minneapolis,
spending millions on the work. Fol-
lowing their example to 80 after
northwestern trade the independent
packing house OF Schwarzchild &
Sulzberger will also enter Minneapolis.
There is no reason why this firrn-or
some otheT--couId not be interested
in Fargo-if the proper effort was
made. A dispatch from Minneapolis
says:
Minneapolis has been selected by
the firm OF Schwarzchild a. Sulzberger,
the independent packers, as one OF
their distributing points in their chain
Of plants which extends from coast to
c0ast.
Representatives have been in Mime
apolis a week looking over sites for
liable location. A. Gavin, the
f1rm's Minneapolis agent, is authority
for the statement and that 100 acres
will be required by the plant. which
will be a model one.
Schwarzchild e. Sulzberger iS one OF
the oldest firms in the packing and
meat making business. 1t has had q
branch ONCE In Minneapolis for many
years at SIS Third avenue south. All
packing house products wiE be turned
out OF the Minneapolis house and 1t
viii be a killing establishment as well
as a distributing point. What the cost
of the plant will be has not been
learned.
The entry of the firm here win make
1t interesting for Armour g. Co. The
Schwarzchild G. Sulzberger firm have
their eyes upon a piece of land but a
short distance from the site in North
east Minneapolis upon which Armour
g. Co. may build. Schwarzchild &
Sulzberger are rapidly placing dis
tributing and killing points at large
centers of the country Land has late
ly been bought In Denver for a plant
similar to the one projected for Min

POLITICAL HARMONY.

The plan of National Committeeman
Kennedy to have the nominees on the
republican state ticket meet here Aug.
Is for conference is a most excellent
one. 1t will be the initial step in a
big harmonious political movement
that guarantees republican success at
the polls this fall.
The nominees on the republican
state ticket are well divided between
the two factions. The ticket was
selected by the people of the state
and every man had the opportunity to
exercise his preferences. The press
and the voters have signified their ac-
ceptance Of the ticket with a unani-
nifty that has been lacking In recent
campaigns. There is absolutely moth
ing TO keep alive fectional differences
and it is real happy republican fam
lily.
This conference tc be held In Fargo
VIII be the anal burial OF facuonal
hatchets and the Inauguration Of a
regime Of republican harmony. II
means that there are no more sore
heads and disgruntled ones-every in.
terest has something for which TO
work-and the democrats are to be
beaten to frazzle.
The work OF the campaign will be
outlined at the meeting and each To-
cality will present it's needs. Ar
rangements win be made for the in
auguration OF a campaign early In
September that will be whirlwind
anair TO arouse the voters of the state.

COOPERATIVE cREAMERIEs.

The following item is going the
rounds of the western press and It's
worthy of the attention of North pa
kotans:
OF the 5000 creameries in the Unit
ed States something like 1900 are CO.
operative The proportion or coop
erative concerns is gradually increas-
ing. The annual output is about 500,-
100000 pounds. which sold during
1907 for an average of about twenty
eight cents per pound. This means a
gross return Of approximately $140,~
100000. There Is no way OF deter
mining how much OF this IS net profit,
but careful investigation of several
individual cases shows that the CO.
operative creamery patron gets more
for his work and HIS investment than
the man who sends his milk or cream
to proprietary creamery. Like ali
other human institutions, cooperative
creameries are, occasionally. unprofit-
able. The proportion of failures is
growing smaller each year as the
dairymen become familiar with handi-
ing their own business.
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1908-08-07
TAFT AND ROOSEVELT.

The striking feature OF Taft's speech
was his manly attitude. He paid high
tribute 70 Roosevelt and the admins
istration policies without any servility.
He has been criticized on the ground
that he was a Roosevelt man. His
attitude is the only one politically
possible and honest. The convention
which nominated him, had endorsed
Roosevelt and his policies-the policies
which 1t is generally conceded that
Taft has helped to formulate-as
member of the cabinet. These policies
have been immensely popular with the
people Taft could not repudiate them,
and at the same tinne stand on the
Chicago platform. Taft is aggressive
and able. His attitude is sound and
1t has vote getting possibilities as
we'll.

RECLAMATION WORK.

The work that is now going on tor
the reclamation of arid lands is COM
mended in the platform adopted by
the republican national convention.
and the democratic convention ex-
pressed itself in favor of the irrisa- :
ton of arid lands. For the story OF
actual accomplishment we must turn
to the reclamation service itself. and
1t has all the materials for a very in
teresting story.
The present reclamation protects
OF the government extend to fourteen
or fifteen states and will affect nearly
two million acres OF land. says The
Chicago Record Herald. This is but
. very small part Of the desert do
main. but If it were brought together
1t would make state nearly as large
as Delaware and Rhode Island com
bined, and already the projects are
providing homes for hundreds OF fam
ilies on terms that may be considered
favorable both for them and the gov
ernment
Under the reclamation law s5 per
cent Of the receipts from the sales OF
public lands in the states named ts
set aside as the reclamation fund
which is used by the secretary Of the
interior to carry out the purposes Of
the service The various projects are
handled as seems best IN each partic-
ular case. and an efficient engineering
corps is ready for every emergency,
