Following the purchase Of 10000
worth of gilt edge farm loans by the
Northwestern Insurance company OF
Milwaukee, through one Of Bis
marck's financial institutions, men,
ton of which was made in the Tri-
bune last week, comes tle announce
ment that other eastern companies
have their agents out looking up in
vestments of this nature. This is the
healthiest sign in the development
of the Missouri slope region. While
investors have found this good field
for several years, the fact remains
that not until this season have the
old line, conservative insurance COM
panies extended their operations to
the western part of the state. This
is an incident of more than usual
significance and coupled with increas-
ed values in realty as exemplified
in all the recent sales of school and
institutional lands, the extension OF
railroads to and radiating from the
twin cities of Bismarck and Mandan,
the establishment of jobbing and
manufacturing enterprises-all these
emphasize the correctiveness of the
position taken by many of the far
seeing residents of this section that
in the near future the Missouri slope
with it's diversity of interests would
some day constitute the most pros
porous region in all the northwest.

WHAT BAD ROADS COST.

Statistics recently prepared by the
department of agriculture and the
interstate commerce commission
throw an illuminating light upon the
manner in watch the farmer robs
himself each year by his refusal to
maintain good country roads. The
figures shows that the railroad COM
panies last year transported total
Of S5,4s7, 100000 pounds Of freight,
which originated on the farms and
which vas hauled an average dis
lance OF 9.4 miles from the farms to
the point of shipment.
In France, the average cost of
hauling produce from the farms is
13 cents d mile per ton. In this coull-
try It is rs cents. II the roads in the
United States were as good as they

Purpose of Histori cal Society

| the halfbreed hunters from Canada,
down to the middle of the nineteenth
century.
The passing of this primitive life,
and the sudden and impetuous in
rush of immigrants from every state
in the Union, and every country of
the Old World, is the marvel of our
present generation. The vital prob
lens of the assimilation of foreigners
and the consequent readjustment of
our political, social, and religious
conditions concern us all deeply. We
are making history at an exceedingly
rapid rate just now, and we need the
help of every thinking man, and es-
pecially of every writing man in
keeping a record of this wonderful,
changeful period of our state life.
livery town, village, city, and coun-
ty in the state is different from every
other one; nationalities, dialects and
religious sects crowd and jostle each
other in strange confusion. AS one
pastor put it: 81 do not preach to a
congregation, I simply talk to pro-
cession; five years sees the personnel
of my church almost entirely chang
ed"
What does the State Historical So
ciety want? In general we want
everything bearing on this and any
other earlier stage of our state his
tory. A word of suggestion from you
may turn into our hands records or
relics of great value. You may not
have time to write the life of the old
est settler but some one will do so at
io cly
ind it's place in somes volume of our
collections. Are there old newspapers
in a forgotten box in some attic?
Suggest that they be sent in for pre-
servation and future use. If you can
not get them as gift, we are glad
to take them as loan, and as re-
sponsible state depository of public
and private records we can assure
you everything will be cared for in
our hands. Specifically we would
like to be kept informed as to local
development In all parts of the state,
and to have in our library all the
works bearing on the history of every
community in the northwest. II
possible also, we should like to keep
such imprinted records as may be
intrusted to us, and to have them
published as opportunity offers.
It is not necessary to say more.
This appeal is to your state pride,
and in the interests of our state his
tory, as yet unwritten. You are not
asked to make any sacrifice of energy
or of time but simply to bear us in
mind while doing your work, where
ever it may be, and to say the right
word in our behalf whenever an op-
portunity is afforded.

The purpose of the State Historical
Society Is to begin the collection, pre-
servation, and publication of the local
and state records of North Dakota.
These records cover a wide range OF
material, and differ from each other
as the sections and nationalities OF
the state differ. It is tr1te remark
that very often people or a civiliza-
ton is judged by the ruins or the
rubbish piles that remain as the sole
evidences of a forgotten race. In
other words the waste materials, the
most trivial or the most common
things in daily life may serve to re-
veal what otherwise would be lost.
In the effort of the Historical society
to save newspapers, pamphlets, old
books, pictures and maps, letters,
diaries, account books, and other
manuscript records relating to the
history of our section, it may seem
that much of it is worthless to pre-
serve. But when we bear in mind
how important these insignificant
things may become, it is certainly
acting the prudent part to take the
utmost pains in making our records
complete.
Our state history is very old. 1t
runs back Of English occupation to
that of the French, and back of that
to the Spanish. Before the coming
of the whites to the continent, the
Indians dwelt, hunted, and fought on
the prairies and in the valleys of
North Dakota. The Turtle mountain
region for example, was one of the
coveted spots contended for by ASSN
iboine, Cree, Sioux, Hidatsa and
Chippewa. These all have left their
mark upon our soil, If we can but
interpret and record it. Their trails,
their camping places, their. village
sites, and their burial mounds are
still to be SEEN The broken frag-
ments of these great tribes still ling
er in our midst, and the records of
their early days, their wandering
and strife, will soon pass with them
into oblivion for the lack of an in
terpreter.
From the point of view of a stu
dent of American history, no state,
except perhaps New York, presents
in its history so strikingly, the con-
test of the rival interests Of France
and England and later that of Can
ada and the United States. Our lands
were explored by the Frenchmen who
trapped and hunted over them for
century before any but wandering
Spaniards knew or cared for them.
Later, during the English period, GER
tain Scotch and English pioneers
raced with us neck and neck for the
th4
try. BY what narrow margin we won
in this contest, the history Of the
northwest can tell US. The Turtle
mountain region and the Pembina
district still later were occupied by

have saved 10 cents a ton per mile
on their produce last year, making q
net gain to them Of SIS, 900, 900 on the
more important crops. The depart
ment of agriculture goes further and
makes the claim that the farmers
lose annually fully 100000 900 on
account of bad roads. Prosperous as
the American farmers are, they must
be convinced that they are paying
very dearly for the luxury of bad
roads.

EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS.

Pembina Pioneer Express: John
Anderson bought a dollars worth of
eggs and butter from John Miller
and paid him silver dollar. That
was a small transaction and was no.
body's business and didn't concern
anybody else in town. Well, let us
see about that. John Miller came in
and paid the dollar on subscription
to the Pioneer Express. We gave it
to Heneman in payment for some
clothes. He gave it to Joe Rondo
for taking away some banking. Joe
bought some groceries of A. D. Cavi-
Ieer with that same dollar. A. D.
Cavileer gave it to Fowler the dray-
man for hauling. Fowler paid it to
Akers for ferry. Akers gave it to
r. r. Shaw for some medicine for his
'quinsy. and Shaw-but p'shaw what
Is the use? Tom probably paid it out
to somebody else and may be it has
been in half the different pockets in
town since that time.
What we want to illustrate is how
dependent we all are on each other.
The simplest sort of transaction that
goes on in town is really of interest
to everybody in town. And it is just
as true whether the act is beneficial
or the opposite. Everything we do is
like throwing a stone in pond; the
waves never stop until they have
moved over the whole surface Of the
water.
It don't make any difference wheth-
er It is a dollar paid, something said,
or some act done, it counts. It counts
for your neighbor's advantage or dis
advantage. You don't, you cannot,
live alone. Your affairs are your
neighbours and your neighbor's are
yours. John Anderson never took
a second thought of the little trans
action Of buying the dollars worth
Of eggs and may say that if he ever
bought the eggs that he had forgot
ten tive are not too certain of that
particular transaction ourselves-butI
it might be actually true. The fact
that John Mjller's hens do lay eggs
and John Anderson may buy them
means something to everybody in the
town.
We are all trading all the time
either words or deeds, money or
merchandise. We buy and sell. We
know not the origin of what we buy,
or the destination of what we give !
In exchange. But we are absolutely j.,
fnterdependent for comfort, happi- !;
ness and progress on one another.
Just imagine the difference If John |
Anderson had sent that dollar away !
to some catalogue house in the city ,
for his eggs. He might have said it |
was nobody's business, it was his own !
money, but it would evidently have
made a difference of many dollars,
collectively, in many peoples bust
ness-if he had not bought John
Miller's eggs. That dollar would |
never have been seen in town again !
if sent to Sawbuck & Co.
And as we have said, while money !
gives concrete example OF our in
terdependence-it is just as true in |
many other ways. You cannot do or
say anything in a business way but /
it affects the town, and - 1t affects !;
the town then it must affect you-
perhaps in a far different direction |
than you thought. If you sell eggs
be sure they are fresh ones.
