MIDLAND CONTINENTAL
CONTRACTOR

Contractor Adams of the Midland
Continental road was an arrival Tues
day to look after work of grading and
bridge matters. He was accompanied
by contractor for grading who will
look over the north end of the line with
the object of taking contract for the
heavy work in the valley. Mr. Adams
says that the construction of the line
will be continued and that the company
fully expects to have trains in operation
this year between Edgeley and James,
town. All work contracted for aud ali
material purchased have been paid for
or the money is ready. No bonds OF
other Indebtedness have been placed on
the road and it is not intended there
shall be. The stock holders are raising
the money and the prospects are good
for the completion of the line. Mr.
Adams will remain here several days
and make trip over the line to Edge
ley.-Jamestown Alert. Bib

tearing down dwelling worth thous-
and dollars to build another worth only
fifteen hundred.
5-Even the price Of a new court
house at Cavalier as fixed by them at
s9l 600 would mean tax of s45, on
an average to each taxpayer who pays
over IS taxes in the country. At the
figures submitted by the Pembina
people, the cost would be 1872 per
thousand dollar assessment, or about
500 per taxpayer paying over SIS taxes
in the county.
We ask each taxpayer to consider
the above claims We have tried to
state them fairly between both sides.
Pembina and Cavalier each have a
personal interest in the location of the
county seat. The average taxpayer
living IN the different localities has
almost no personal interest in such
location. If he makes as many as six
trips to the county seat in life time,
that is more than the average man
does. Very many of the taxpayers,
especially of the younger generation,
have never had occasion to come to
Pembina. Judging from your own
experience, and from what you know
of your neighbor, what is it worth to
you, individually, measured in your
hard earned dollars, to build a new
court house in Brynjolfson & Laxdal's
Addition to Cavalier? If 1T came IN
the form of a subscription paper (and
that is practically what the petition
for removal now being circulated by
Cavalier amounts toy how much would
you subscribe to throw away the
present buildings in Pembina and
build new in Cavalier?

ROOSEVELT THE CITIZEN.

The reception of Roosevelt in Europe
is remarkable from many standpoints.
Mr.. Roosevelt is now but citizen OF
the United states. No more and nc
less. But in European countries there
is no parallel for such q status. It is
true that genius and ability in the
common citizen there enables such a
citizen to rise to very high places.
Even in France which is also republican
but not democratic, "Equalite" does
not yet equalize the lower and middle
classes with the born aristocrats.
Hence in Europe, Mr.. Roosevelt is q
sort of curiosity. He while citizen
was chosen to be the ruler of a great
nation, and then afterward again be-
came a citizen. As such citizen, both
before and after the presidency, both
socially and politically, he was but the
equal Of any other respectable citizen.
He could and did meet in business, In
politics and in social intercourse men
and women of the humblest walks of
life without condescention, as we'll as
those whom wealth. education and
genius made more conspicuous.
In Germany, the best that could be
done for Bismarck, though a born
aristocrat, was to call him a "pr,nce,"
while in England Gladstone refused
any title that could be conferred upon
him because of its emptiness in his
case. He knew the title would lack
the ''blue blood.' Independent and
republican Norway demanded and re-
ceived a "king born to the purple"
The common people Of Europe hear
of the equality of the citizenship Of
this country, but hardly understand
how it can be. To them to whom the
ancestry Of the man means SO much,
Roosevelt is indeed curiosity.
Hence the tour of Mr.. Roosevelt,
has much significance to the common
people. They have heard with varying
sentiments, Of the equality Of the
American citizenship, but in Roosevelt,
whose history they we'll know, they see
. concrete example. In Europe, Mr..
Roosevelt can do what no king can do,
he can shake hands with the poorest Of
dine with the highest, without either
condescention to the one or subservien-
.cy to tho other. n
Mr.. RooSeyelt's tour cannot ha h,,t
Of great value 70 this country. No
better example Of On American has
ever been il Europe. Thousands 81

probably exaggerated, as is generally
the case with the sons of prominent
personages, even in lesser walks of life.
But. as Il king, there can be but little
criticism. He was liberal yet conser-
vative, every inch a king and yet very
democratic and was much loved by
the common people. Perhaps his
greatest though queit accomplishment
was the use of his personal influence
with all nations and particularly with
the German emperor, his nephew, in
keeping peace in the world. America
mourns with the mother country in
her loss. That his successor, King
George, may be as good king as his
father is the hearty wish of every
American citizen.

The Drayton Echo has been sold by
C.L Fairchild to Ralph A. Gilroy.
MIR. Fairchild was brought up in the
Echo Office as his father Editor Fair
child Of the Cavalier Chronicle was
for many years it's publisher before
going to Cavalier and leaving the Echo
to Luverne. 1t will therefore be a
strange experience to him to relinquish
his connection with that paper. The
Pioneer Express has always had the
most pleasant and fraternal relation
ship with the editor of the Echo and
has only the best wishes for his future
welfare Mr.. Fairchild has not yet
settled on what or where his future
business may be. The new publisher
Ralph Gilroy has been connected with
the Echo for a long time and is good
printer and we have no doubt will make
a good editor. Drayton is good news
paper town and we hope that the mu-
tial interests of the town and the Echo
may be prosperous.

COUNTY SEAT UP TO DATE.

The Chronicle did not have a word td
say last week on the county seat ques
tion. AS between the newspapers the
matter now stands this way
From the Cavalier standpoint,
1.-The present court house is 6
tumble down affair liable to fall and
crush the officials; the outbuildingt
used as offices are shacks.
2New buildings mus be erected in
the near future, hence they may AZ
we'll be erected in Cavalier as at Penn
bina.
3-The excess mileage paid by the
county and other extra expenses will
pay TOR new court house in Cavalie,
in the next twenty years.
4-The first cost of a new court
house will not be more than $4,000
The ultimate cost, with interest only
9l,OOO.
From the Pembina point of view.
1.-The present court house buildings
are in first class condition as to re.
pairs and permanancy. They are good
for the next twenty years without
other repairs than those naturally
made by wind and weather. They are
in far better condition than they were
fifteen years ago. There has been
added since that time outside Offices
and vaults making ample room fol-
all offices, paper and books. Wate,
works, sewer. heating apparatus, side.
walks and stone foundation are also
among the additions since that time.
2-The census proves that there has
been no increase in population fol
the last ten years and that there is nc
immediate prospect Of an increase,
hence the. needs for new court house
are no greater now than they we're
fifteen or twenty years ago.
3-The total court expenses for the
last ten years according to the county
auditors books have been less than
$4,000. Hence the statement that
the amount paid by the county fol
excess mileage which is but a very
small part Of the total expense is non.
sense, because all the court expenses to.
gether in that time would not be enough
to build : court house even on the Cava.
lier low estimate oi5such cost.
We estimate the first cost Of q new
court house to be at least 100000
Anything lees might perhaps build i
fner looking building enthusiastically
speaking. but would not afford any
better Accommodations than the present
buildings. There would 30 no use ii

HAVE YOU TRIED AN AID?

We overheard business man COM
planning few days ago about the
dullness of business and the man to
whom lie addressed his remarks asked
if he was advertising his goods and
the merchant said no. Then the
man told him the little story: Why
is merchant who doesn't advertise
like a man in rowboata" The mer-
chant could not answer and being
anxious to know ventured an answer
quickly, Because he goes backwards
l SUPPOSE NO, you are wrong,
said the questioner. Still the bust
ness man was anxious to find out and
the answer came. Because he has
to get along without SALES" This
is literally true. The man who
wines to everybody about his bust
ness being bad should get the frown
off his face and begin to build up in
stead of making everybody miserable
by his constant knocking. Get up
and hustle your business, advertise
in these columns and see the trade
come rolling in to your place of bust
ness. You owe it to the public, to
your family and yourself to advertise
your business.-Ex.

BACK TO The FARM.

With the American soil pouring
forth its wealth at the rate of IS, 7oo,-
100000 year we may look for a
rush back to the farms. This soil is
paying better than gold mines, Sec
rotary Wilson shows, and hence the
return of people from the cities to
the country is liable to resemble a
rush to newly opened gold field.
Thirty billion dollars is to-day the
estimated worth of America S 7 ,ooo,-
900 farms.
1t was when farm products were so
cheap that it was difficult to dig a
living from the earth that people be-
gan to desert the farms for the city
shops and Offices. That was in the
days when Kansans used to burn
their corn for fuel, because coal cost
more than they could get for their
corn; when piles of grain and other
products of the field and garden lay
spelling on the ground as the result
of olerprodeetion and no market.
And the migration to the cities kept
up, and the nations population kept
on increasing, until now the reverse
conditions are true. Instead ofover-
: production there is shortage in all
