WHAT'S THE MIDLAND
sathsate Pink Paper Does Some Con.
Jscturins about the Winnipeg
to Gulfv Proposition.

Bathgate Pink Paper: last week
the editor Of this paper was at Edge
ley and made Inquiries regarding the
Midland railway. There is much talk
IN that place regarding 1t and the
statement is freely made that the con-
tract Tor grading the, entire line to
Pembina has been let. AS vet there
mas been no earth moved and there
are no ties or other material for con-
struction work, nor are there any
grading tools on the ground. Every
thihg regarding this proposed railway
iias Oeen surrounded by mystery and
no one seems to know whether II is

What Is intended. The line If COM
ptetea could not at present serve the
purpose for which it Is claimed il

south line to the gulf for the lack of
conhections.. and for some time could
only be operated successfully in con-
nectlon with some eastern connection
with the lakes and the twin cities,

OF the connections may be gained bv

oe pretty fair evidence that chat road
is. interested IN it and will build north
ana west from Fargo to connect with
1t and give a more direct route to a
market than the present line by the
way of Aberdeen. The indications
seem to point to a promotion scheme
with the promoters looking for a pur-
chaser.

OLDEST BISMARCK
MAN Is BURIED

| Bismarck, N. D., Nay 2S.-The fu-
neral of the late Patrick Brown was
held yesterday morning at 10 o'clock
from the Catholic church and inter-
ment was in the Catholic cemetery.
Patrick Brown was born in County
Kerry, Ireland, in March, 1911, and
came to the United States in 1S47, and
hrst settled in jamestown, N. Y, and
later moved TO Dunkirk, the same
state, where he met and was married
to Miss Margaret Martin. Eight chill
dren were born to them, but only two
of them are now living, Thomas, who
lives near Bismarck, and John, who is
now resident of Oberon. this state.
Soon after their marriage the Browns
moved to Marshall, Mich, where they
lived until 1885, when they came to
Burleigh county and settled on a
claim, moving to Bismarck ten years
later where they have made their home
since.
Up to within a few days of his death
Mr.. Brown retained his brightness of
mind and was able to converse upon
all subjects with a fluency that was
remarkable for a man of his age.
Death came Monday morning at 8
O'clock. s
h. Mrs. Brown WHO survives her hus-
band, will be 103 years of age on the
Fourth Of July, and is as spry and ac-
tive as many people who have many
years less to their record. She has a.
distinct recollection Of the events that
followed the battle of waterloo in 1915
and is able to converse well upon noted
characters Of ireland and England,
who lived over ninety years ago.
The pail bearers were James Nc
Garvey, Patrick Naughton, Thomas
Weleh,. Steve Welch, Patrick Kelly
and Mike Moran. @> .@~@

TREE GROWING in N. D.

Says Medora Herald.

Medora Herald: If Superintendent

that there is a demand for this kind
Of forestry. The cedar of the Bad
Lands is hardy, though slow grow
ing tree, fine of grain and firm. 1t
will grow to a fair size, and the
reason IL does not, is the good old
one that 1t has not had the chance.
1t makes fence posts uneuualled for
lasting qualities, and, with care should
grow straight and of sufficient dame
ter for a certain finishing lumber. This
| tree is found only on the north stones
of the buttes, probably because the
sun dries the south sides so quickly.
| it Is not found on the lowlands be-
cause there the grass is tall and thick

carefully get few Of che small trees
and plant them and when they had
grown some, transplant them, there
would be. money in It, Each square
yard will grow tree for some years
and there are 4,840 yards TO the acre.
/ A nursery would charge about a dollar
for such a tree; so even allowing a SO
per cent loss there would be something
in it. The greater part Of the work
would be done at the season when
YOU are ordinarily industriously polish
ing chair seats or counters. There
is many a farm in our county that is
treeless. the proprietors fearing to buy
outside grown trees for fear OF them
dying. These OF natsve growth would
appeal to them and they would un-
doubtedly thrive.

or Broadaxe fame is now the editor of
The Fargo Daily News. Just what he
has done to its editorial page is still
a subject of speculation, but he has
surely knocked the everlasting stufflng
out OF the advertising patronage-and
that's where the newspaper eats.
/ Bathgate Pink Paper: The Fargo
News thinks The, Pink Paper very
weak representative of democracy, at
least as applied to pale people" That's
just the point. The local paper cannot
do justice to. so great. matter and is
the great reason why. the democrats
had hoped for "a strong central repre-
sentative at Fargo. The News editor
thinks so little of the party that he
would enirely eradicate the demo-
cratic party, or at least take from it
"a chance for reasonable presentation
Of it's political views. If The News
| hads been one OF ftne many republican
papers the position would have been
different, for that party would still be
numerously and well represented.
There is nothing which pleases the re-
publican politicians better than to have
the democrats without representation
in the daily newspaper field. If they
could cut out The Devils Lake Journal
such would be the case in this state
at the present time. Say Editor An
drews succeeded in breaking up the
democratic party. there would be then
but one party left. the republican par
ty. The News editor styles himself an
independent republican. Whelf he has
purged the augean. stables he viii re-
turn to his party, or he would not be
SO particular to add republican, to
the Independent" Then there would be
but one party What a splendid. field
for exploitation that would offer to the
political boss. He would soon have
the whole situation so securely cinched
that the boss trust would be the great
est trust in the land. No amount OF
argument can make it appear that
there should not be two parties in
country like this, representing the two
ideas, conservatism and radicalism
and the more nearly evenly divided
these two parties the better, The in
dependent is not bad fellow, very
much in earnest, but as general thing
where he accompIisfes anything, and
he aims for good generally it is in
combination with one or the other of
the great parties. In the south it is
with the republicans and in the north
with the democrats. The independent
needs these parties and he may use
them to quickly accomplish results
and he must accomplish them quickly
or the strength of the independent
movement will spend itself before any
thing is accomplished. They cannot
hang together long enough to follow
any definite plan to successful termi-
nation. IL they did they would have
formed party, the very thing which
The News declares unnecessary. If
a public movement meets with any
measure OF success. it must have or
ganization and that organization is, for
the time being, political party. The
independent says there is no necessity
for party while at the same time
he proves the sfalsity Of his statement
by trying to organize one.
