RETAILER AND CONSUMER.

Retailer and consumer should be
! very close together, because each is
dependent upon the other. The re-
taller must sell his goods to make a
living-the consumer must buy his
goods to live.
The consumer is willing to be con-
WINGED. but the retailer must prove his
case. Take an arbitrary stand and
let it be widely known that you sell
not only the best goods-and you are
bound to attract the attention of and
convince the consumer that you are
worthy Of his custom. Price is Of
course important, but service and sat
isfaction are the frs considerations.
You can win the regard of greater
number Of people by selling good
rather than cheap merchandise.
al following Of pleased and steady
customers who know that whatever
they bay from you is the best their
money can buy-wiIl mean better and
bigger profits to you than all the sales

EoUALIzING ASSESSMENTS.

The members of the city council are
sitting as members of the equaliza-
tion board They are passing on the
figures as turned in by the city as
SCISSOR. After they get through doc
toring them-the county boards of
equalization will get a whack atthings.
Then the state board will put on a
few finishing touches-making the
ultimate" taxpayer the goat.
This equalization business is great
stpn-principally for the benefit of the
little fellows" The small household
ers are frequently assessed for almost
as much as their belongings could be
sold for at public auction-while the
people with palatial residences, rare
and costly furnishings get away with
nominal assessments.
The state law says that property
must be assessed at 40 per cent of
ats value. There is not farm in the
county-not a stock of merchandise
that is assessed at that amount.
Farmers who refuse $50 per acre for
their lands are paying taxes on a
Sc basis. Merchants who boast-when
the assessor is not around--of carry
ing a 100000 stock-turn in a
$4,000 to $4,000 assessments.
/ There are instances in Fargo where
unimproved property is assessed more
than half the sum the owner will take
for their holdings.
There is little equality between the
assessment in this city and in the
townships in this county. There is
little uniformity between different
counties in the state.
The present assessment methods are
about as crude as can be conceived,
and the people of the state go along
year after year using the same old
Anticipated methods.
There are all kinds of reform
measures suggested-from the pro-
posed tax commission to dozen other
ideas of more or less impracticability
None of them will ever entirely
change human nature--or make tax
payers any more anxious for a fair
assessment-even if they could get it
The equalizers hear some rare tales
OF woe-and probably do the best they
can-following the line of the least re-
sistance.

Census Enumerator John
Froseth expects to complete the
work of counting noses in this
city this week. He has worked
diligently and carefully. There
is however a chance that quite a
number of people have been
missed. especially those living in
hotels and boarding houses, and
those moving from one part of the
city to another. If you know
that you have not been enumer-
ated, call up The TIMES Office
and the enumerator will be
promptly notified and will be
asked to call on you. tits neces-
sary that all people residing here
should be counted. Mr.. Froseth
is not allowed to give out the
figures of the total count. His
sheets will be submitted to the
Supervisor of Census for the
District. We predict however
that the number will exceed
1000.

A meeting was held at the

day evening for the purpose of
organizing Washburn City band
and from the looks of things we
will again have a first class band
the coming summer. The meet
ing was quite largely attended
by musicians in the city inter

band, and the new organization
is to be made permanent thing.
T. Ell. Robinson was elected the
manager and the first band re-
hearsal will be held the coming
week. All of those in the new
organization are old players and
it will be only short time until
they will be furnishing music.
The boys are going into this
with will and they are entitled
to the support of the business

to give concerts two evenings

The Bijou theatre which is
just about completed and which
will open for business Saturday
Of this week, is one of the neat
est show houses in the North
west. No effort or expense has
been spared in it's preparation.
The new proprietors, Otto Olson
and Arthur Aune are we'll known
young men here and are to be
congratulated on their enterprise
and taste. They will begin busi-
ness under most favorable condi-
tions. There is ample business
in this city for two first class
play houses, run every evening
of the week. The two which
have been running for two years
have enjoyed the best of patron
age. Mr.. Bestler of the Sun
shine theatre will continue to
give a clean, intellectual show.
and it is hoped that the new pro-
prietors will do the same. A
proper sense of discrimination
in the choice of films. and the
conducting of a clean orderly
theatre will merit the patronage
of Washhurn slow going people.

Railway Has Farms

For something over a year the
Northern Pacific has maintained a
poultry farm at Kent, Washington
near Seattle, where, on fifty-two
acres, a flock of eleven thousand
White Leghorn chickens is produc-
ing 12O dozen eggs day for use on
Northern Pacific diners.
Experiencing such marked success
with its poultry, the Railway Co.,
will hereafter secure the milk anG
cream for it's Commissary Depart
ment from a herd of three hundred
thoroughbred milch cows main taned
in the same vicinity. In addition to
this the company has also planted
four hundred acres of garden truck
at the station of Paradise in West
ern Montana, favored spot for
vegetable culture. The products of
these three institutions are to be
consumed entirely by the Dining
Car Depar tment.
The Northern Pacific is the first
railway in the country to undertake
the production of edibtes of it's own
for it's dining cars 1t also maintains
a large bakery in Seattle, and is
now building another one in st Paul
which will turn out all of the breads.
pies, cakes and pastry used. The
bakery which the company has been
tanning for sometime in Seattle
became overtaxed in it's efforts to
supply all the cars on the entire
system, herce the necessity of build
ing second bakery in st. Paul so
that the cars may be supplied at
each end of the run.
The Northern Pacific has gained
considerable notoriety from the great
pig baked potatoes which it serves
on its dinniug cars. each of which
weighs two pounds or over: the
Mammoth Spuds exciting much com
met among travellers, and arousing
the interest of Madame Schumann-
Heink recently to the extent of
causing her to get barrel of them
for planting on her New Jersey
farm.

Council to Make Places of
Amusement pay.
Resolution Calls for a Rate
of License That is Almost
Prohibitive.

At the meeting of the common
council held at the office of the
city clerk on Tuesday evening
an ordinance was introduced
whereby it is proposed that all
places of amusement must pay
license into the city treasury if
they intend to run. This will in
clude motion picture shows. con-
cert halls, pool and billiard halls
and bowling alleys. The amounts
of license were left blank and
these were filled in by the coun-
Gil before the ordinance was
brought up for it's first reading.
The council members evidently
felt that these places ought
to be driven out of the city and
the rate of license was placed so
high as to be almost prohibitive.
Motion picture theatres and con-
cert halls are to be taxed at the
rate of $1O2 per year, bowling
alleys at the rate of $25 per year
for each alley, pool and billiard
halls at the rate of $25 per year
for each table used. The ordi-
nance was passed to it's second
reading and will come up for
final passage at the next regular
meeting of the council.
A petitien was presented to
the council asking that road be
opened up on east sixth street,
running west to the Bratley
farm. There is number of
settlers in this vicinity and they
have no way of getting into the
city. except by a roundabout
way. The matter was referred
to the com mittee On roads and
highways with full power to act.
A recommendation of the
school board was presented to
the council asking that the sum
of SIP. 800 be levied this year for
school purposes. The recon-
mendation was ordered placed OH
file.
The council ordered that a new
twelve foot cement walk be built
on Washington avenue in front
of the old library building. They
also ordered that new crossings
be put in on Washington avenue
and Bayfield, street. These are
to be built of concrete as an eX-
pertinent.
