The city of Fargo, N. D., must
be an ideal place for the tax
payer. Not long ago, after all
Improvements had been made
and all expenses of municipal
government paid for, the city ia
theirs found themselves with a
considerable sum of surplus
money on hand, and, like good
business men, they met together
and declared a dividend of 6 IL
per cent, which will be paid in
cash to the taxpayers on March
/, 1918. The new city govern
ment saved SIC, 900 by economy
and good management, and in
stead OF squandering it, as other
cities have done, they concluded
to return it to the people. Ordi-
what the people receive is
an empty treasury and a deficit,
but under the new dispensation
of affairs business methods
can be adopted, and the public
carried along as success
fully and as economically as any
private business.

Genius Not Wanted in Surgery.

Sir Frederick Treves, whose
fame as a surgeon has been
world wide for years, has just re-
tired from his various official
posts. He retired from active
practice as a surgeon some time
ago, when his fame was at its
height and long before there was
any reason to apprehend any de-
cay of his faculties, for he has
only just celebrated his fifty
ninth birthday. Il gave up,"
he explains, mot because | was
by any means past work, but
simply because | had got tired of
my work after 26 years of prac-
tice."' He was once asked what
were the qualifications of an ideal
surgeon, His reply was rather
surprising. Genius, at all events,
he replied, was not necessary.
Genius" he said, lis some sort
of neurosis an uncalculated ner-
vous disease. The few men of
genius | have met were exceed
ingly impossible persons. They
were certainly entirely out of
place in the medical profession,
where even cleverness is not to
be encouraged. Indeed, of all
desperately dangerous persons,
the brilliant surgeon is the most
lamentable. 'Cleverness' finds
its proper field not in the operat-
ing theatre, but at the Egyptian
hall, the well known establish
ment in Pickadilly where, until
a few years ago. Maskelyne and

Mineral Point Company Gets Franchise.
The Mineral Point Public Service
company stole a march on the Inter
State Light and Power company by
beating them to a franchise which ex-
tends out of Linden through to Livings-

land Cobb, Edmund and back to Lin
den and Mineral Point. The Dubuque
capitalists who had in mind the extern
sion of the main line with the ultimate
object in view of an interurban car sys-
TEN are now shut out. They can still
build their interurban system, but it is
hardly probable that this will be done
since they have been deprived Of the
lighting and power privileges. Az that
it is now minated that interurban ears
may be a feature Of the Mineral Point
system within the next two years.

The city is big corporation with an

is to be quite large and the plans
have been drawn by James M. OAR

park. The whole will present very
beautiful approach to the cemetery
and will serve as the main entrance.
