HARD UP FOR AMMUNITION

If any campaign where there is more than one
candidate for the Office, it is almost necessary
to hatch up something which be used against
the other fellow" The opponents of A. " Swan,
son who is candidate for sheriff finding it impos-
sible to point to crooked thing about his poll
teal life and finding many things to commend sim,
have manufactured the argument against him that
ne is losing ground. Swanson is all right" they
will say, "but he's losing ground" This is hollow
excuse and the report is unfounded for everywhere
MI. Swanson Is showing great strength. He re-
ceives scores Of letters day from every part OF
the county assuring him that everything looks ex-
ceedingly bright for him. When they tell you that
Swanson is losing ground" just wink the other
eye, for you will know WY they say It,

The Great Northern has cut Minot out . 1 divi-
sion point for the passenger trainnen, and the city
This change went into effect few weeks ago. The
trainmen run from Devils Lake % Williston. OF
course Minot will not feel the change much there
are so many other resources from which to pull,
yet every little helps, and the people Of this city
would appreciate 1t very much II Uncle Jim Hill
could have seen fit to let the work go as 1t did
formerly. The Great Northern of course does not
care for Mnot, or any other city for that matter,
and It is a. cold blooded business proposition vita
them few years ago Minot gave the Great North
ern every old thing she asked allowed them to close
certain streets for all time to come, dot course
the excuse that was made at the time, that Jim
Hill had his eye on Minot and would do things for
to Mnot and about the only way we can make him
be good, is to get the bulge him and make him
recognize us. OF course Mr. Hill has done us q mum
Der of favors OF late such tearing out the ctys
new bridge across the Mouse river at Anne street,
and cannot help but feel friendly to this company
for the life long favor Then agin, Mr.. Hill did just
which would employ several hundred men, or at
least he says he would have done so, but for the
fact that there weren't enough houses for the en-
ployes, yet the village of Devils Lake got the prom
ised shops, while we stood in open mouthed wonder
And the latest recognition he has given u.s. is
to cut out our passenger train men. is to be hoped
that he will suffer the stock yards to remain here
but we are fearful that he will tear out the coal
chute and move the water tank out to Surrey. Jim
did us good turn when he built his depot between
Minot and Des Laos, at least that is what the hack
men say, and they ought to know. Jim probably
would his track out in the country piece and
cut Minot out all together, it not for the fact
that the reliable old 500 is still with us, and even
tho she's little slow at times, she's faithful old
friend Well, let our old friend Jim go ahead and
40 things to Minot We've got the backing OF the
best people in the state business men are the best
hustlers and among the brightest fellows, and in
spite OF this selfish road, we're going right ahead
Ten years ago the Great Northerns actions would
have meant much to Nfnot, but now its merely as
rifle made by throwing pebble into the water
It will soon pass and be forgotten in the pur-
suit of business.

There numerous candidates for the legislature
and it is more than right that they should tell
the voters what they intend to work for, in case
they elected. The average candidate will
pledge himself to do the best he can OF course he
will or at least he thinks ne will while he is max
ing his campaign. But that candidate should have
definite purpose, he should have certain IDEAS
that he intends to carry out in of his election
He is either for against the corporations. II he
is against them, just to what extent is he's against
them? Would he favor legislation that would drive
them from the state entirely, or would he favor al
lowing them to do business within the state under
proper restrictions. Does he believe that the rail
roads are taxed in fair manner az the present
time or would he favor change. 1t is we'll known
that the railroads of this state were constructed on
the average at cost of $4,000 per mile and they
insist on being assessed at half that amount. Yet
they are earning big dividends on valuation of
$4,000 per mile. Would the legislator favor taxing
the railroads the basis of the $4,000 or on
$4,000? There many things that will con
front the legislators within the nsxt three or four
years. The masses deserve some recognition, and
we believe that is the time to insist upon the
same. Send the right members TO the legislature
and some valuable legislation will be erected
a3seee
The City OF Mnot is going to be the cleanest city
in the entire state if the city board Of health keeps
on in the way it has started to do business At
a meeting of this board Friday night, it was de.
clded that the streets, alleys and yards should be
cleaned up and at once. # the property owner is
slow in getting this work done, the board will do
it for him and charge it against his property. A
number of teams have been hired by the city and
within short time the city will put on a different
appearance The police have been, notified to arrest
anyone caught throwing paper into the alleys or
streets. If every property owner would appoint
himself committee of one to see that his place
is put into ship-shape, the city would be saved
good deal of trouble the appearance of our city
would be improved several hundred per cent, there
would be less danger of fires, and the general
health Of our inhabitants would be a great deal
better. Lets tidy up a bit.

CONTESTS OVER LAND.

Several contests will grow out OF

the original squatters who have been

thrown open for entry two months
ago and all OF it worth anything was
quickly taken by men who have been
watching for the date of settlement.
These men. are undoubtedly bona
