NORTH DAKOTA CITIES
Show Wonderful Growth in Last Ten
Years by Census Figures
issued Last Week.

People who have watched the growth
OF North Dakota cities as announced
from time to time by the census bureau
have been gratified at the remarkable
evidence of prosperity which this sub
stantial growth tells. Especially is
this true of those who have made in
vestments in North Dakota properties
and one Fargo institution at least can
feel special sense of qualification as
its investments are wholly in the fast
est growing cities in the list.
North Dakota investments were never
better than right at the present mo-
ment IN spite OF crop conditions that
have been unfavorable there is not the
slightest sign of a decrease in values,
on the contrary there is every evidence
OF still more important growth and
a constant rise In values during the
coming season
Security of the best possible sort is
found in the investments which North
Dakota city property offers. Profit OF
the most satisfactory nature will re-
suit from such investments; no better
investment can be found for large ar
small sums than the limited term cer~

SEA WATER TO SAVE LIFE.

When physician, even one of more
than national reputation, advances
new theory, the layman does not
know whether to accept II as real
scientific discovery of great value. 1t
may be merely a new fad which may
have an ephemeral vogue-and which
4 is destined to be heard of but little
thereafter. There is something fasci-
mating about all of the theories, how
ever, and they are certain to be ex-
plotted. The theories of Pasteur. Koch
! Metchnikoff and others have looked
at times like flights of the imagination
but they have proved to be intense
~ real and practical. On the other
hand. DIR. Brown Sequard's alleged
discovery for the prevention of old age
although backed by name which
stood high in the scientific world
is heard no longer.
The latest prescription for the saw
ing of life comes from DIR. Quinton.
He insists that in marasmus or in
fantile cholera and similar wasting
diseases of early childhood splendid
results have followed from the injec-
ton Of sea water into the circulG.ion.
The water Ii taken from point far

depth below the surface-to insure its

tenn has been on trial with gratifying
results in hospitals in Paris, and it

Verona News.

Verona, N. D., Feb. 13--To The
Forum: Grant Benoit and brother
recently returned from the state Of
Washington.
A number of the faculty and pupils
of our schools attended district court
at LaMoure this week.
Cashier W. c. Mowery was called
to Stark county this state the first
of the week to attend to some inter-
ests the Farmers e. Merchants bank
have in that part of the state.
Michael Lehrer advises Mayor Jo-
.ph M. Kahle that he is in the Ever
glades of Florida improving his few
acres of land which he has purchased
for a summer home.
Eli Utecht received news by wire
that a near relative of his died last
Friday. Mr.. Utecht and his brother
Erick left Friday evening to attend the
the funeral.
Verona will, before the year 1911,
terminates, have one of the largest
and most complete garages in this
county. The parties interested in this
concern are figuring on erecting a
cement building 50x140. This will af-
ford ample room for caring for a
number of machines and automobile
accessories, also furnish abundance of
space for those here having joy We
hicles stable room. This sort of in
dustry has been sorely needed here
for some time and we wish the TEL
lows involved success.
One of the leading bankers in tLis
place has suggested that 1t would be
well for the banks and real estate
men to get together and do a bit of
experimental farming In this vicinity.
The gentleman ventures the opinion
that a division on the part of these
men would be rewarded in a few
years in no uncertain way. His idea
is to rent for a term of years fifty or
sixty acres OF land, put this into three
or four different kinds. of crops ac-
cording to the best theories of farm
ing. The gentleman is positive that
alfalfa can be made a profitable in

TUESDAY, FEB. "a, 1911.
FARMER BEARS BURDEN.

The Objectionable feature about the
proposed Canadian reciprocity is that
1T makes the northwestern farmer the
sacrificial offering. Naturally the peo-
pie of the eastern cities will welcome
q proposition that will lower the price
OF -four and bread. Neither will the
farmers of the south object. The
wheat growers and the lunbermen of
the northwest are the ones that will
be hardest hit--if the reciprocity
treaty goes through.
The wheat grower will be smitten
with double force. Not only will the
price of his chief product be cut
down--but the same treaty that will
annually rob him of a certain portion
of the value Of his crops-will also
cause a decrease in the value of his
lands. q
1t is unfair to make the wheat grow
ers bear so much Of this burden. 1t is
also adding insult to injury when it
is considered that Of all the benefits
claimed for the Canadian reciprocity
for manufacturers and a few others
there are none that will either theo-
retically or materially help the wheat
growers OF the northwest.
The farmers are already feeling the
baneful effects of reciprocity in the
reduction in the price Of grain. The
twin city papers, in commenting on
the lower price Of wheat-announce it
is due to the reports from Washington
which look favorable to the ratifica-
ton of the Canadian reciprocity treaty.
If favorable reports have that effect
what will be the result of actual rati-
flcation?

Messrs Fowler & Smith have been
very fortunate in their recent bookings
and the Offering for the current week
will please the most fastidious.
There is no man who ever went to
a minstrel show who is not familiar
with Billy Van, either by seeing him
or by reputation. He has starred tie
country as the premier fun maker OF
several leading minstrel organizations
and is known everywhere that the
black face comedians reach. His work
in vaudeville Is the kind that gets the
laughs at every stage. That falsetto
strain in his voice is enough to make
the audience scream. His dream at
Grand Forks and his secret story
where he takes the audience into his
confidence, all get the applause.
Zeno & MandelF have singing.
dancing and piano playing turn. Both
the man and the woman are good and
their act is well received.
Lew Williams & Co, put on play
let, Ais Fair in Love, that meets with
the emphatic approval OF the audience.
Orletta and Taylor appear in The
Butterfly and The Prince. 1T is beau
tifully staged with special costumes
and scenery. The turn is highly eff
fective. Both people can sing well.
