be an inspiration for the creation of
other plants. We have no doubt the

work wherever it can be shown to be
feasible. And We have already point
ed out that the assurances of irriga-
ton, even in a region that Is not arid
or semi-arid, are better for the own
err of the land, than the chances of
natural rainfall, that must be taken
in all agricultural countries. If there
are that many acres of land that can
be irrigated in the state, it means
homes, and good homes, for one fam.
lily to every forty or eighty acres, and
the value Of such an addition is not
easily computed in hasty figures.

forms of candidates for state office
this year is the one that the person.

will be devoted to the duties of the

candidates for state auditor declares
he will, if elected, devote his personal

to the Office. The three candidates

BUILDING
OPERATIONS
in Devils Lake
NEARLY 200 HOUSES ERECTED

YEAR %s3

Devils Lake Journal: The citizens
OF Devils Lake will be interested to
know that last year 1T new buildings
were erected in this city at a cost
of over $500, 00O. ,,tl I.
This is a record that far outstrips
any other city in the state. The fig-
ures are accurate and were compiIed
by the association of contractors and
builders.
Judging from the number Of inouir-
les being made and the number of
plans already submitted for figures
It Is the general opinion Of contractors
that the building record of last wear
Will be equalled il not surpassed this
year. a3 BIZ s.. si.,7
Among the larger contracts already
In sight is the government building
which will cost $15O,oOO or more. and
the new ward school house which will
cost $4,000 to complete. It Is yery
probable that the city will put up a
new building this year to cost s15, 900
to $4,000. A new $4,000 opera
house will more than likely be built
this year. John ~. Maher is figuring
on putting up handsome block on
the corner of Fourth and Uline. e. /. !.
Glbertson announces that he will put
up $4,000 business house on the lot
ne recently purchased on Fourth
street adjoining the Home laundry.
Many new residences are contemplate
ed, the cost of which will run from
$4,000 to $4,000. The building in the
country also bids fair to be as large
as last year, and some big contracts
have already been let.

RIVAL CANDIDATES FOR COUNTY

POSITION

The majority of the people of Nc
Lean, as well as Ward county, may
desire division, but the ambition of
county seat candidates to determine
that question ahead of division will
likely defeat all efforts in the way of
division. The following from the Dem
hoff Voice:
I There will be a mass meeting of
the voters of Mclean county, at Nc.
Clusky on the 10Th of February, 1903
Meeting will be called at O'clock p.
m. The object of this meeting is to
devise ways and means for locating
the western boundary Of the proposed
new county in the eastern part Of Nc.
Lean county, and to discuss any other
matter pertaining to county division.
Every voting precinct in Mclean
county is requested to send a delega-
ton to this meeting who will be call
ed upon to voice the sentiments of
their respective localities. 2Remem-
Der the date, February 10th, at Nc
Clusky.
Without a concerted effort on the
part of eastern Mclean county. the
question Of county division will die
out. II the people really want coun-
ty division now is the time to begin
laboring to attain the wishes. Il
The following from the jamestown
Alert:
Thomas Marrow, a practising at
torney Of Denhoff, Mclean county,
was in the city this week comforting
with Attorney Knauf on the legal
questions involved in the proposed
division of that county. The county
is in parts of its area over 10 miles
long. The scrap is between the east
and west ends of the county and the
stiff fight put up by Washburn to re-
tain the county seat is causing the
divisionists lot of trouble. 1t is
said there is movement to divide
the county into three, instead Of two
Two counties would please most OF
the people better than three, but in
order to get anything in the way Of
division 1t may be necessary to cut
the county into three or attempt it
When roads are bad, as last winter
the residents of the eastern part Of
the county have to make long rail
road trip by way of Darlington

the present county seat at Washburr
or go almost as far in the other di.
rection and double part way back or
the 500 RAILROAD. Many who have
business at the present county seal

the reason that the committeeman will

Lincoln's virtues have been extolled
this week through the length and
breadth Of the land. Few figures in
national history have been so conspic-
uous, none is more reverenced by his
people. A man of the people, he gave
his best energies and finally yielded
up his life for them. Through the
coming years, as long as the memory
of the republic shall last, he will
stand, one of the solitary figures upon
the high and sometimes lonely pin
nacle of real greatness. He was not
an agitator, not demagogue, not an
extremist, but a plain, sober, indus
trious, human American citizen, with
a mind full of breadth and a heart
full of love for his countrymen. In
the minds of many, there is none to
approach him but Washington-both
men felt the pangs, the bitterness, the
loneliness of guiding a struggling ma
ton through the dark days of war. We
cannot too often recall the virtues of
Lincoln. We cannot too frequently
repeat then. and exalt him. For in
the lesson of his life there is guild
ance for this and all generations, and
in the nobility of his character there
is inspiration for all people
