WHAT PARTY MEANS.

Pembina Pioneer Express: There
are many honest, well-meaning vot-
ers who say party is nothing, but
person is everything-in local offices.
We are just now having an ex-
ample of what it means to elect a
governor on that theory. Perhaps it
doesn't make much difference wheth-
er a democrat or a republican rules
the state as governor in purely state
affairs-but a senator is surely par
tisan Office if there is one-and your
democratic governor is sure to select
a democrat for appointment as sen
ator. ~
This works out the same in many
minor officers. When you vote for a
democratic governor you are also
/. citing to fill all appointive offices
with democrats. -. s.

Twenty Years Ago
Items Of Interest Cleaned From Issues OF the Tribune
Printed Score of Years Ago

Long, now a leading attorney in Chi
cago were leaving for Duluth to OPEN
a law shop.
Navigation was not yet closed on
the Missouri river and the prediction
was made that the boats would make
several more trips.
In the local tug Of war w. T. Per-
kins came out victorious, he having
been appointed by the county COM
missioners superintendent Of schools
and F. " Barnes was selected as
states attorney. F. H. Register was
opposed to Perkins, likewise o. P. M.
Jamison. Editor Quinn humorously
drops into rhyme on this event as
follows:
"Rej" grabbed. Barnes grabbed
''Barnzy' got the best of it.
Come" says "Rei" to Jamison,
'let's go and drown our woe"
Best Michigan apples $3.50 per bar
rel-they are $3.50 now.
Nov. IA conspicuous arrival In
the city was Hon. P. j. McCumber,
member of two successive sessions or
the legislature and now an open and
avowed candidate for United States
senator. 1t was some years later be-
fore his early ambitions was graft
fed.
The Tribune speaks of the arrival
of the dark-eyed orator from Ransom
county, R. N. Stevens, who has open
ed quarters at the Sheridan house
and begun wires for the speakership
which finally went to Honest"
Dave Wellman, Of Eddy county.
Even in those days those est. Paul

instance it is recorded that there are

HORSES RAN BACK TO FIRE.

At the Kensal Livery fire, the total
loss will aggregate about $4,000.
There were II head OF horses de-
stroyed, IA of which belonged to Mr..
Neva, the proprietor of the stable.
A large quantity of robes, vehicles,
harness, hay and other property were
destroyed. Several horses were got
ten out of the barn after the fire first
started, Mr.. Neva cautioned the boys
in charge of the animals to look af-
ter them, but they were neglected in
the excitement. and following the
strange fatality that horses often ex-
hibit on such occasions ran back into
the barn and were burned. 1t is we'll
for every farmer to remember that
horses led from a burning stable are
very likely to return If not pre-
vented.

the record of the clearances for the
entire country have also been broken
in 1909. This Is larger achievement
than may appear on the face of this
statement, for the exhibit in the ear
lier months of 1909 was not favorable.
The gains over previous years have
been won through the upward bound
of the past two or three months. For
October, 1909, Chicago, St. Louis.
Washington, Denver, Seattle, Kansas
City, Omaha, Savannah and Few
other towns broke all their records.
Moreover, as the tendency is upward
the country's clearings record for
the entire Calendar year are likely to
leave all former figures far behind.
In iron and steel production, which
are the country's basic industries, we
are making new records. During &C.
tober the pig iron output was 1884,
900 tons, as compared with 2,3S5,OOo
tons in September, which broke the
record along to that date, and 1885,
900 tons for October, 1907, on the
eve of the panic, when production
reached level which was not touch
ed until September of this year. Oc-
tober's production was at the rate OF
10000 900 tons a year, while the larg-
est output ever reached in any twelve
monts was 25,7S1, 900 tons in 1907.
In steel the gains, proportionately,
over the largest previous records are
still more marked. AS would natu-
rally be expected from the increase
thus cited, railway earnings are also
beginning to make new "highests." A
further expansion in them will un-
doubtedly take place in November,
when the volume of the crop move
ment reaches a high figure. For Sep
TENDER and October our merchandise
exports broke all records for those
months, though the high mark of De-
cember, 1907, which exceeded that OF
any single month in any year, has not
yet been touched, but it probably will
be passed in November or December
of 1909, from the rate now shown.
The monthly reports of idle cars
throughout the country, which were
an ominous feature of the industrial
situation for the past two years, will
greet us no more. At the opening OF
1909 the number of the cars out of
commission was $4,000. 1t was 300,-
900 as recently as the beginning of
May. When the total was reduced
to about 100000 on July I, new rea-i
son for jubilation on the big holiday
Just afterward was furnished. The
number had shrunk to $4,000, how
ever, by the beginning Of September,
and by the end of October all the idle
cars had not only disappeared, but
there was a shortage of more than
5000. The familiar cry of the boom
days of 1906 and of 1907 along to the
setback in October of that year of
mot enough cars to handle the traf-
fic," will be with us once more in a
few weeks.

WORD OF APPRECIATION.

Editor Streeter of the Emmons
County Record says: The, country
newspapers are always ready and
willing to give their space for the ad-
vertising of farmers Institutes. Ere
quently these Institutes are held at
time of the week when the rural
publishers and their help are rushed
getting ready for press, and do not
find is possible to spare a man for
several hours to sit in hall and lis
ten to talks a good part of which he
does not understand sufficiently well
to give an interesting and instructive
writeup of it. There is no doubt that
these institutes are doing a world of
good: and, if through the country
press a clear and concise summary
of the talks of the instructors and
the experience of the farmers could
be given, those farmers who are I'M
able on account of distance or for
other reasons to be present would
be greatly benefited. It would seem
that, if the institute system is of
sufficient importance to have con-
siderable sum Of money spent in
sending out able and competent in
structors, it would pay to have some
one with the instructors versed In
farming matters who could prepare
copy that would be gladly published
and would reach the adsentees, much
to their advantage. These Thoughts
came to US when reading some very
clear and interesting reports of the
farmers institutes recently held on
the Missouri slope published in the
Bismarck Tribune. Prof. Hoverstad
and his assistants who knows what
he is writing about and tells it in the
Tribune in good, clear newspaper
English. ...- .-....,.-...'. ,..e...

Never before in this section Of the

do this fall, and they have reason to

WEDDING ANNOUNCED.

Announcement was made Saturday
evening of the approaching wedding
Of Ethel Vivian, only daughter of Mrl
and Mrs. Dan Stewart of this city, to
Mr.. H. A. Davidson Of Fargo, who is
connected with the collection depart
ment Of the Garr-Scott company and
the younger Davidson. is one of the
rising business men of the state, he
being state agent for the Phoenix fire
Insurance company. Both the young
people are receiving the congratulate
tons of their friends both here and
in Fargo, where they will make their
home after the wedding. which takes
place Nov: rs, at the home of the
BRIDES parents, in this city.

practical to feed. One man we talk
ed with recently brought in his first
load Monday. He figured that he can
make only two trips each week and
that it will take him 10 weeks to haul
in his grain. Another man figures
that at 80 bushels each load, 1t will
take him thirty-hve trips to haul in
his grain, and so on; we might tell
of many in the same or worse shape.
1t will take many of the farmers all
through the long cold winter months
to get their grain to market and
every means possible should be taken
to make the task easier. The roads
are far from what they should be.
and right here let us say that the
farmers are hauling their grain to
the town to which the road Is best,
and in which the merchants, hotels
and liveries treat them best. 1t will
pay the business men to welcome
these hard working men who have to
suffer such hardships, and to have a
cozy corner in their heart for them.
See that they have comfortable quar-
ters for themselves and their teams
while in town. See that places are
provided where they can get good
hot lunch and coffee when they get
in from their cold ride at any hour
of the day or night (for some of
them will do some night driving too)
and show them in every way that
they are welcome in your town, and
if possible send a detachment of men
and teams out to fix up the roads
little. There are many little holes
and sharp pitches which need fixing
and the farmers would appreciate it
more than words can tell. We are
in sore need of a Commercial Club
in our town to ook after these things
and we would suggest that one be
organized at once to do such work.
