TALKS ON West
Says There is no Reason Why Minor
Should not Take Place With Fore
most Cities Of the Country-its up
to the Business Men.

Mr.. and Mrs. y. M. Pierce have
returned from a visit OF several
months through the southwest and the
west. They visited Mexico, Texas,
New Mexico, Arizona. California and
other states.
Mr. Pierce made particular study
in in the cities which he visited to
ascertain what had contributed most
to their success Concerning his
trip he said to an Independent re-
preventative:
Everywhere l learned that where
a city was successful, that success
could be traced to the agricultural
conditions surrounding it. Take
Great Falls, Mont. for instance
That is great city, and while it has
immense water power, all that power
is used for, is for creating electricity
for lighting purposes. Great Falls
without it's agricultural benefits,
would be nothing. Everywhere |
noticed this same thing, Comparing
the cities which visited with Minot,
| came to the conclusion that ours
was city with a future, but it de-
pended entirely upon ourselves. The
business men must make Minot, with
the assistance Of the surrounding
country. We must foster. our agri-
cultural interests. We must cater to
the farming trade. Take Kalispell,
Mont for instance. There is city
located on no main line of railroad
at all, just at the end of stub. The
business men of Kalispell got to-
gether and asked themselves the ques-
ton of whether Kalispel should live
or die They decided in the affirma-
tive and put their. shoulders to the
wheel to make that great city and
they are succeeding.
What Minot seems to lack L motto
ed in practically all the cities ! visit
ed, is a park. We should lose no
time in laying out beautiful park.
This is important.

requirement tina. the city of Minot

for the school, was passed. Lana
near Minot is worth 500 an acre.
The normal school site therefore will
be worth $4,000 which must be donat-

be made Sixty acres near the north

Reception Giv~r for Members Of the
Legislature From Northwestern
North Dakots, at Commercial Club
Rooms Tuesday Nisht-6anquet at
Leland.

The members of the legislature
from the northwestern part of the
state, were given royal welcome in
the shape of big reception given in
their honor at the Commercial club
rooms Tuesday night.
A large number of the citizens gath
cred to praise them for their exctll-
ent work at Bismarck, and quite
number Of the ladies accompanied
their husbands.
J. NJ. Devine presided over the
happy gathering, and number of
interesting talks were given ny he
returning members.
James Nanley, speaker Of the
house during the last session, was a
guest of the northwestern legislators.
Mr.. Hanley's home is in Mandan.

the work they were expected today
He considered that the 18th district
had sent down an ideal lot Of legts-
lators, who worked in perfect har-
mony.
Speaking of the Cowan impeach-
ment matter, he said that it was too
bad that It became necessary to con-
slider such a question when the legis-
lators were anxious to do the routine
legislative work. He thought the law
in such cases should be amended, to
provide for hearings Of that sort to
Be held after the close Of the legis-
lative assembly.
Senator Steel in speaking said that
this was the first time in the his
tory OF the state when the legislators
lived up strictly to the pledges of the
party. In the future the parties will
be more careful in adopting their
platforms.
Senator Lnde Of Mountrail coun
ty made some happy remarks. Linde
can be considered one of Minots
best friends, and senator of sterling
worth for his constituents.
Senator diversion of Williston said
that there was no reason why Minot
and WillistonS should not boost for
one another. They may be business
rivals, yet they are far enough apart

without detriment to either city.
Mrs. H. II. Steel, who possesses
a rarely beautiful voice, sang a solo

TWO GIRLS RAN
away FROM HOME
N label Monesnith and Ida Buttke
Twelve and Fourteen Years Old,
Powder Their Faces, Put on False
Hair, Glasses and Long Skirts and
Hike Out. -

Two young Minot girls disappeared
from their homes about noon Tues
day and until this morning their par
ents have been nearly crazed with
grief. Finally Police Commissioner
Vandenoever located them at Deering,
where they had gone to visit one Of
their girl friends, the daughter Of
Jim Bolen, a farmer living half
mile east of Deerins, and where they
stayed last night.
The girls who disappeared are
Mabel the twelve-year-old daughter
of M J. Monesmith and Ida, the
fourteen-year-old daughter of Fred
Buttke. The girls had had some mis-
understanding with their teacher, We
understand, and decided to leave Mi
not forever and forever. One of them
put on long skirt, both secured some
false hair, one put on pair of glass
es and they powdered their faces just
like some of the older girls do. They
had q little money left so went to
Granville. Mr.. Vandenoever learned
from the marshal there that they had
gone to Deering and he telephoned
this morning to the Deering marshal
who located them in short time.
The girls will return home today or
tomorrow.

TRAIN LOAD AFTER
TRAIN LOAD OF
SETTLERS
ARE GOING TO CENTRAL CANADA

The question Of reciprocal trade re-
lations between the United States and
Canada has provoked considerable
discussion and interest Whatever
else the discussion may have done, It
has brought out the fact that on the
Canadian side of the line the agri-
cultural situation Is one that forces
attention, and 1t has also brought forth
the fact which 1t Is well to face. that
on the American side Of the border,
there Is a vastly increasing popula-
ton to be fed with somewhat de-
creasing proportion of food products.
This article Is intended to point out
to those who may wish to become Of
those who can raise wheat, oats, bar
ley. fax. cattle and hogs at the least
cost that the opportunities in Central
Canada are what they are seeking.
During the past year the Official fig
ures show that upwards Of 10000
Americans located in Canada, and the
greatest majority Of these have settled
on farms, and when the time comes,

The immigration for the spring has
now set in in great earnest, and train
load after train load of q splendid
class of settlers leave weekly from
Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago, De-
troit, st. Paul and other points. Most
OF these are destined through to points
in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al
berta- The reports that come from
the different farming districts there
are that the spring is opening up well,
and the prospects for splendid crop
this year are very good. In some dis
tricts good homesteads are yet avail
able. The price of all farm lands has
naturally had an increase, but 1t is
still away below its earning capacity

A trial package Of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills win be sent free to anyone on re-

IN need of medical advice, do not fail TO

and YOUR case viii be diagnosed as care

view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or catharucs. Iney
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they 90
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
consultation is responsible for most all
mcnts. There are 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II
had my way would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of Indigestion,
and SO paraly1e the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.

mvigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead Of impoverish

FIVE years with this trouble, and more
especially for the first three months of

out much success, and any relief obtained
was only temporary. had severe pains
in my back and at no time was free Of
pain. When / stopped down it was with

weight of consequence without great
pain. I would be compelled to arise and
give the bladder relief. A friend of mine
advised me to take DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, whereupon I wrote to DR.. Kilmer
for q sample bottle which so benefited me
that was led to believe it would be .
great help to me. Accordingly / pur-
chased two bottles of Swsmp-Root from
Mr.. A. P. Perry, my Druggist, and the
effect has been truly marvellous.
/ feel like q new man and have every
reason to believe that I am cured, and
that no other medicine could have accom-
plished 30 much. Now can raise q

desk all day, and feel none the worse for
it. In view of the foregoing facts, ]
sincerely trust that this testimonial may
