A commendable anxiety is mani
tested by the people of all the states,
and particularly by the residents of
cities, with respect to the results of
the enumeration just completed by
the census officials. 1t is the hope
of every municipality that the re-
turns will show marked increase
in population, and particularly that
some gain in "city rank" may be
scored. No community is too small
to be inspired by such desire. 1t
is the natural wish of every assem-
blage Of people to become larger.
Yet there is no particular advan-
tage in municipal size. The quail
ties that go to make the ideal city
are not confined simply to those of
mere physical proportions. 1t would
be better for the social health of the
country if this truth were more thor
oughly realized. Indeed, the anxiety
over the census count is an indica-
ton that the true meaning of NUM-
cipal greatness is not yet appreci-
ated by the majority of the people.

municipality becomes mere agency

the investigation from Alaska coal
lands questions to probe Of the

sites under the Ballinger regime. At

COLONEL LOST
DUMMIES HOOP

WON'T TALK TO RABBITS FOOT
ON BROADWAY ANY MORE FOR
SOME ONE sNATcHED 1T FROM
HIM THIS MORNING.

Invoking the aid of the police de-
partment, sheriff's office together with
the United States marshal's force, and
last but not least "Siddoo," the rubber
footed boy. Col Frank Plummer. the
coIored bailaff at the federal building
this afternoon figured on calling on the
militia to recover a rabbits foot--the
most highly priced article that he
owns-which was stolen from him
this morning.
Frank was standing in front of
Storms store, and while dosing off he
had the rabbits foot in his hand in
front of him, invoking the muse of the
mysterious little Dummies hoof. Be-
fore he had time to know what had
happened, the precious little foot was
snatched from him, the thief dashing
down the street. Frank turned white
and liz was more than a moment before
he recovered sufficiently to know what
had happened
This afternoon Skid. located the foot
on Broadway and returning it to Frank
was informed by the colonel that the
country was saved. The foot was pre-
scented to Frank by BILLY" Allen, now
located in the west.

The wooden footbridge crossing the
river from Fourth avenue south.
Moorhead, to a point on Fourth street
south, Fargo opposite the waterworks,
is again in use. The agitation begun
in The Forum, two years ago and sug-
gested in the spring OF 1909 advocat-
ing the erection OF suspension bridge
may bear fruit this year as those in
terested have become very weary Of
the annual Inconvenience caused by
the removal of the timbers every
spring to save them from being wash
ed away during the spring freshet.
As has been stated scores of times
the continual expense of taking away
and rebuilding the wooden affair
would soon pay for a single span
structure which would not be affect
ed by floods.

started it generally being about May

This means the employment OF about

thieves will have the thoughest meal
of their lives today il they attempt to
masticate that biddy, who has passed
her tenth mile stone and who was kept
at the Russ place more out Of senti-

However, that don't excuse the
thieves for taking nine other fine spec
linens of biddies. for a total of ten
were stolen during last night by some
culprit.
The loss has not worried Mrs. Russ
to any great extent and to make situ-
alton real good, she offers to leave
a freless cooker on the back porch to-
night to cook the birds that would
probably resist any effects Of common

Grain Opinions.

Bartlett, Patten a. Cove cannot
advocate following this break In
wheat as we are still believers in
serious damage in some states west
of the Mississippi and think 1t logi-
cal that a good reaction at least
should take place after such de-
cline as we have had. While we be-
lieve stiu in lower prices for corn,
we would advise caution in selling on
the weak spots, as rallies will occur
from time to time.
Finley, Darrell e. Cove continue
to feel that advantage should be
taken of all natural reactions i'm wheat
in order to make sales. We would
not advise increasing short sales
holdings of corn around present level
Harris, Winthrop & Cove again
caution against sales of wheat on
weak places, but think sales of Sep
TENDER on fairly good bulges still In
order. May corn is not placed yet and
market is still a sale on bulges until
Ii is.

corn is not over and the good swells
would keep to the selling side.
