between 1900 and 1910. 1t Is not
generally known that there are al
most as many turkeys raised in
Washington as chickens. while
ducks, geese and other fowls are
practically negligible Quantities, and
nave fallen below the number in
1900.
The report says that there are now
opportunities for between 1000 and
5000 families to engage in poultry
raising alone, and it is pointed out
that instead of importing its poultry
products for home consumption the
state should be exporting such.
The book is called "Dairying.
Poultry Raising and Stock Raising in
Washington" and Secretary Howell
has had 1900 copies printed for gem
eral distribution.

Advertising the West

The Panama Pacific Land Show
and Illustrated Lecture Bureau. a
California project, the president of
which, f. A. French, is an erstwhile
resident of Phoenix, has most ambi-
tlous plans for advertising the west.

ing out effectively. The title does
not set forth fully the purpose, for it
leads one to believe that it is merely
an organization of boosters, while it

Is TO be its business. 1t recognizes
That the great west has homes for the
millions, that the millions need the
homes and will be willing to nav a

concerning the opportunities in the
west. 1t is designed therefore to
cover the east with capable lecturers.
charging an admission fee such as
would be charged for any other lee
ture believed to be worthy the money.
Believing also that the great west
which needs the settlers will be will
ing to help a little bit, booklets de-
scriptiye of the sections referred to
In the lectures, will be distributed
free to all who attend and the west
ern business men will be given an op-
portunity to advertise in these book
lets. Between the advertising and
the lecture proceeds the bureau ex-
poets to make its expenses and mod
est profits.
The product is not of mushroom
growth for it was organized about
year ago, but is only now perfecting
its plans for actual work. Ira d.
Ninton, former engineer in the re-
clamation service, is in charge of the
lecture bureau feature of the work,
and it is expected lecturers will be
placed in the field about the first of
September, beginning in Illinois and
Iowa. Permanent lecture rooms will
probably be maintained in Los An
geles, San Francisco, Seattle and
Portland, to catch the big crowds
that constantly travel to the coast
cities and thence scatter everywhere
The last year has been spent in
financing the undertaking and in
gathering data. Mr.. French, who has
made Phoenix his home for eight
months will leave in few weeks for
the coast.
The bureau is not organized for
the special benefit of any one sec
ton, but will lend its services to any
section that has anything worthy of
publicity and will cooperate in ad-
vertising it. Commercial bodies are
asked to furnish information respect
ing their localities, and where pos
sible moving picture films and stere-
opticon slides for the illustration OF
the lectures.
1t is planned to have a series of
six lectures so a speaker may stay
in one place for a week or perhaps
alternate between two or three ad-
iacent places for two or three weeks
Each lecture will set forth the fea-
lures of different localities and those
who attend will be able to make their
choice of a new location from the
many that will be offered.

Official Council
Proceedings

Valley City, N. D., Aug. 5th, 1912.
Council Chambers, o'clock, p. m.
Regular meeting of the council.
Called to order by Mayor Platou.
All aldermen were found present
upon roll call.
The minutes of the meeting Of July
18th, 1912, were read and approved as
read.
The mayor stated that since the
last meeting he had sold to the Glen
wood Mill & Electric Company, for
the sum of $212.5O, the old so K. w.
belted dynamo, which had been at the
light plant for number of years, and
discarded on account of being too
small, and requested that his action
be approved.
Moved by Alderman O'Malley, Sec
onded by Alderman Mackey, that the
action of Mayor Platou in selling the
cid dynamo be approved.
Motion carried

gether with cash in the sum of $500

plant or the water works plant, or any
oe their appurtenances.

elect a reactionary and they did not
wish to lessen their sphere of influ-
ence by defeat.
A Democratic victory means that
Murphy, Sullivan, Taggart and the
other bosses of the party will be con-
tinued in power. No matter how good
man Mr.. Wilson may be, the bosses
will not support him or the ticket with
out valuable consideration, and with
out their support he could not be
elected. Nobody knows that better
than Bryan. The result is an old
story, a compromise and the reform.
ers reason that it is better to get
half a loaf than no loaf at all.
In the open Bryan was the most
ferocious of lions and he knew its
political effect, but behind the scenes
he and Wilson compromised with the
reactionaries. They sincerely believ-
ed no doubt, that it was for the best
interests of their party, and the coun-
try as a whole. The platform gives
evidence of this compromise in many
particulars, as for instance, one of the
most important issues before the peo-
pie since the civil war, are the Initia-
tive and Referendum, and the Right
of Recall. Both bryan and Wilson
are in favor of these measures and
have emphasized their Importance,
but the platform is silent upon the
subject. Such important measures
could not be forgotten, and is a plain
case of compromise. After election
the reactionaries in the party will be
much bolder and harder to deal with,
as they are satisfied with no action
at all, in fact wish it.
This is something for the progress
sive Democrats to think about. Who
will the privilege seeking classes sup
port this fall? Not Taft, as he has no
show of election, and they are prac-
tical politicians. But they will sup
port Wilson as in his party they have
already a strong foothold, if not con-
troll. AS fast as the progressive Dem
ocrats realize this fact they will turn
their support to the Progressive party
in order to be free from those influ-
ences.
No man in modern times has the
power of Theodore Roosevelt to
awaken the public to condition of
this kind. Before the campaign has
far advanced there will be unmistak-
able signs of his strength. The now
bemuddled candidate for Office will
see the current and jump in. The end
will be a tidal wave for the new party,
the only party that gives promise for
the future.
(Sipned) A PROGRESSIVE.
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1912-08-22
FOR WHOM SHALL We PROGRESS
S|vES VOTE, ASKS LOCAL VOTERS
Local Progressive Asks Pertinent Questions and
Gives Views as to Third Party Ideals.
Advocate Reduction of Tariff.

The Times-Record is in receipt OF
the following communication from q
we'll known Progressive of Valley City
and gladly gives it space, as it com
ments pertinently upon several phases
of the coming campaign which are OF
the utmost importance.
FOR WHOM SHALL WE
PRoeREssiVEs VOTE?
And the answer must be, for that
party Or those men whom we believe
it elected, will accomplish the most
good for the greatest number.
Not Taft under any circumstances
If we wish to figure in practical re-
suits. His election even by his friends
is conceded to be impossible.
Woodrow Wilson is entitled to SER
ious consideration. He is able, honest
and advocates much that is progress
sive, but however much we admire the
man, we must not forget that 1t is
administration results that we are al
ter. What can be accomplished will
depend in a great measure upon the
party elected with him and what in
fluence he has over his party.
For many years the Democrats have
opposed strong federal government
and advocated states rights. This
would handicap the government very
materially in regulating trusts and gail
roads.
Tariff for revenue only might be ad-
visable if adopted by all other impor-
tant countries, but it has been aban-
doned by all save one and exists there
because of peculiar conditions. Both
on the tariff and state rights the Dem
ocrats have failed to keep pace with
the times.
The Progressive party advocates a
reduction of the tariff on the neces-
stiles of life and where they are re-
sponsible for trusts and monopolles.
They advocate policy of protection
that enables us by reciprocity to let
down the tariff bars to those that let
them down to us. This seems to be a
necessary weapon of defense and this
view is taken by all countries that are
really progressive.
No matter how progressive Wilson
might be, he must depend upon his
party for legislative results and the
Democratic party, in point of influence,
is less than half progressive. This
was demonstrated by the Baltimore
convention when they elected Parker
over Bryan to preside as temporary
chairman and to sound the keynote
address. They were willing to accept
Wilson for their candidate because
they knew it would be impossible to
