will come to us. in the next ten years.
A new continental railroad at our
door and certain to be hauling freight
to and from the city before next fall.
A new buainess district and a new
pay roll for Devils Lake are the first
and most profitable results of this new
addition to our city and business life.
But more than this are the increased
volume of business which our banks,
merchants and wholesale houses, will
do. the making of Devils Lake more Of
commercial center for the territory
northeast and southwest as it has al
ready become a center northwest and
southeast, the new mouths to feed,
new hands and heads to work here
among us, new schools to- build, and
new public enterprises to establish.
We believe that we have progressed
DUNG the past ten years but we ought
to set our faces toward TOMORROW
and try to realize the things that we
can do in the coming ten years. In
1920 we will wake up to say "Who
would have thought it away back in
1902" In that coming ten years the
1nter-Ocean will try to play its part
toward the building up and betterment
of tho town, striving at all times to
make the interests Of sound business,
commercial supremacy for this city in
It's rightful territory, and good homes
for our people, its one aim and ambi-
ton. The Inter-Ocean has, helped in
the past week in and week out worked
and spoken for improvement, progress
and cleanliness, and it will do so in
the future. The Inter-Ocean has now
become established where It can help
more effectively than in the past be-
cause the business Is here to Justify
improvements and the Inter-Ocean |
plans during the coming year to make
great many. At all times II plans
% serve the prosperity, progress and
'ivic interests of the people OF Devils
lake and Ramsey county.

THE ECONOMIC SIDE OF IT,

The economic side Of the prohibition
question is seldom better stated than
in the following article in the Muubeh
Herald:
"The Herald believes that proh5b5
ton in North Dakota is an economic
question. 1t is not merely a question
OF right and wrong and we are not in
the class that believes that drinking In
itself is necessarily wrong although It
often becomes so. 1t Isl not merely
question of what effect on the whole
some regard of people for other laws
the nonenforcement Of the prohibition
law will have. Is it for the best eco
nomic interests of the town, country
and state-prohibition enforced, or
pigs in every town grabbing all the
change the poor, irresponsible. drinker
gets hold Of? The merchant who is
afraid town without pigs" viii die
had better consider this. The well-to-do
man who takes his occasional drink. is
not dependent on the pigs fer his sup
ply. He can send for it and have it
In his home for his PERSONAL use M he
wants to and no law prevents him. He
does not trade in town because there
are pigs in it or not. On the other
hand. the slave of the liquer habit VILE
become an easy mark; for the kind of
men usually found in the. pig" bust
ness. He will lose there bis last cent
while the merchants; either gives him
goods on credit Or loses the legitimate
business he should have had from him.
To take a concrete example: The Her
aid has had certain printer on it's
force for the last three months. I'm
that time he has earned about $170l. OF
this money about $65: has gone for
board and about $25, fur clothes and
not all of this would have, been paid
had not the editor. held It out. The re-
naming $50, almost one-half, lave all
gone for liquor. The man went with
out an overcoat all this time and need
ed several other common necessaries
of life which he, SHOULD have bought
from our storekeepers. Besides this
his drinking lessered his efficiency and
earning capacity. Consider Mr.. Mer.
chant whether 1t would not have been
TO your economic interests to have lent
YOUR influence to keep liquor away
from this man? Without at least the
half-hearted consent of the business
men Of each town the enforcement OF
the prohibition law will be easy. Why
has the south taken such strides re
Gently towards prohibition? Simply
because 1t was an economic question
with them. 1t was either to keep thu
whiskey and beer away from the ne
gro or be unable to make any use O.
him.
The question with US is exactly tn
same. Take this up, ye commercial
clubs, that have the best interests o
your town at heart and discuss it."

Yet, We have always been ready to
acknowledge ourselves In the. wrong

Eshown to be correct. In all ur advo-
cacy for better conditions here we
have harbred no i'll will toward any

good Intentions, So in the future, no
good deed, no service to the people,
will go uncommended, no matter who
the doer of the deed may be. It. will
be our constant care to get behind any

meaced operations in April, 1909, andl
since then there has BEEN manufacture
ed 1880 pounds of butter, and the
patrons have been paid sa6,701.ss. On.
the first day of May it, WAS decided toll
grade all the cream received at the
| factory and pay according to the qs,aar-
ity and this scheme has proved a great
success
The farmers are beginning to neals
lze the benefits of bringing in sweet
cream and getting fran three to, four
cents a pound more than they would
get for sour cream. There is consider
able difference to the farmer dairy
man at the end. of the year when he
brings In sweet cream instead Of sour
and this indueement has made a hit,
with the farmers around Mckenzie
judging by the great increase In the
amount of sweet cream being receiv-
ed.
Paying fer quality is good thing
for both the buyer and the seller.
Since the cream grading plan has been
adopted at Mckenzie the creamery has
been under the management Of Hans
4 Larson, who is also the butter maker
and he was winner of the first prize
In the four months educational but
ter contest in the state OF North Dako-
: ia. There were 4s creameries repre-.
: scented in the contest and $50 packages
Of creamery butter were exhibited
"This was the first contest, Of its
kind ever held in the state and both
4 the patrons of the creamery and MT.
Larson are naturally elated over the
, success Of the creamery and the high
} scores obtained in the contests. On
the strength Of winning first place Mr..
Larson was awarded a trip to Chica,
go where he, attended the meeting 81
: the National Dairymen's association
and probably picked up a lot OF poin.
, tiers on the conduct Of creamerles.:
"The Mckenzie project is just sam,

, are a number Of farmers who lost

4 From the Stalls. r.: = 1. + W ,.
!, In the orchestra Of a London t1eater
there are only eight or ten rows Of
stalls, and Immediately behind Them Ia
the pit, which Is walled off by a bar
rier or fence that stretches clear across
the theater. In the pit there are no
individual seats-merely rows of long
benches on which the people sit rather
closely together.
1t is, Of course. impossible to reserve
seats in advance, and people who are
going to the pit have TO come early on
the evening Of the performance In or
der to secure the best places.
Hence in the case Of popular play
a long queue Of people may be seen at
O'Clock stretching from the. pit door
all along the sidewalk. waiting for the
house to open. They keep their places
very patiently in line. united by COM
mon mood of pleasurable anticipation,
One manager awhile ago made the
experiment of selling reserved seats in
the pit at the usual price. but to this
the pit people objected strenuously on
the ground that they could seldom
know in advance just when they would
find themselves possessed of that hap
py combination of money and an even.
ing off which would permit Of theater
going and preferred to take their
chances waiting In line when the for
tunate opportunity arrived.
The pit is patronized by people Of a
very estima BILE class and Is often fire.

women who wish to save money and

EVENING on THE mo GRANDE
(By Miss Adele Goss.)

The western world is now agleam-
For myriad shafts of light arise.
Rend'ring the clouds as molten gold.
EmblazOning the sunset skies.
Then, softly. as the sungod's car
Sinks rapidly within the west.
A rudy glow effuses all,
And all in crimson robe is dressed
Ere long the car Of light sings lower.
The crimson turns TO limpid fire,
As 'twere the sungod's followers.
Succeeding him in gay attire.
They flaunt their banners DER the
plain.
Upon the hills and wales they rest;
The waters clasp them as they speed
To kiss the eastern mountain crest.
Then. as a heart which has grown
cod.
ouickens again at loves caress,
The cold blue mountains cease TO
frown.
Ana straightway change to ioyli-
ness.
Quito nnabasheed they lift their heads
With dignity and lofty mien.
Arrayed In robes OF purple hue.
OF texture rich ms marvellous
sheen.
So mountain crest and unset kiss.
Nor Will the sunset farewell say.
Till All beneath is shadow Yelled
Till twilight takes the place OF day
At last the lingering lovers gone,
And. gently, even as he goes
The evening shadows wrap the crest,
And leave il TO lis lone repose.
