TRY PROHIBITION

Can't something be done to straight
en- out our mountain boys and men?
We have said something of the habit
too many of them have of carrying
and using pistols. Now we have from
Patrick long list of indictments
against Tuggles and Bowmans and
others for making and selling block
AIDE liquor, disturbing religious wor-
ship and other similar offenses. From
South Carolina we have the story
of another Babb in trouble. One is in
the penitentiary for killing a Eman
and another is up for blockading.
They have been making and selling
peach brandy and corn whiskey these
forty years past and they are people
who ought to be in better business,
as probably is the case with the
Patrick county men-hospitable and
generous and courageous people, with
the markings of good and useful citi-
zens, If they could but be brought to
have sense and to understand their
responsibilities to the law.
If somebody instead of hattering
these people and favoring their
offences would give them some
straight talk and get their con-
sciences aroused, perhaps it would
not be necessary to have them locked
in jails or lodging about hunting
bail. They arc too good to be wasted
and ruined. The preachers do the
best they can; but the preachers are
so few and their reach is so short.

tious citizens in the neighborhood OF

Every section has its commercial
and industrial center, and the good
citizens Of Wiriston believe that their
city will be the center Of trade and
commerce for western North Dakota
and eastern Montana. If any one
doubts the soundness of this belief, let
him take out his map and satisfy him
self that Williston has the geographic
cal location to make it one of the most
important cities between the twin
cities and the Pacific coast.
When James ]. HILL some twenty
years ago, named the city for his
friend and business associated. VIII
lis James, a New York multi-million-
aire-he with that infallible vision of
his which has made him the great
railroad king and empire builder that
he is, foresaw her great future. He
knew that the great cities Of the coun-
try are located either on the oceans,
the great lakes or on the big rivers.
Here at the northern most bend of the
Missouri river, six hundred miles west
of the twin cities, in the center Of Da-
kota's and Montana's fertile prairies
and I'm the heart of the vast Ignite
coal fields, he laid the foundation of
the wilhston Of today--the "city of
opportunity"
1t is admitted that North Dakota is
one of the greatest agricultural states
in the union. 1t is freely predicted
that when we learn how to utilize our
immense Ignite coal deposits, she may
also become one of the greatest manu-
featuring states. Whether that be so
or not. North Dakota when she de-
velops, is certainly large enough and
rich enough to build and support a
few large cities within her borders.
Iowa has her Des Moines Sioux City
and Dubuque; Nebraska her Omaha,
Lincoln and Hastings, and Kansas her
Topeka, Wichita and Kansas City.
These are cities In chiefly agricultural

early part of the summer, one, II not

would have been established here be-
fore the spring OF 1912. 1t is safe to
say that with one or two good crops,
the city win have at least half dozen
wholesale houses within a short time.

west to be supplied, Williston will
within a few years rank as the most
important distributing point in the
northwest.

distance greater than that which
separates Milwaukee and Chicago. To
the west there is Montana at her very
threshold, the immense eastern part
of which will see greater development
during the next decade than has any
other equal area during a similar
period. In this direction, too, we have
to travel 400 miles before a city is
reached-Great Falls. About her flu
ture there can be no question, but
she is too far distant to encroach on
Willistons territory. Somewhere near
the center of this vast territory be-
tween the twin cities and the Rockies
will be built the metropolis OF the
northwest. It's got to come as surely
as night follows day. Williston will
be that metropolis.
