BY THE RIGHT OF WAY
CHUZZLEWIT

A mistake has been made. Some
body has erred. In some manner
the man, in the vernacular. has fallen
down. Perhaps he has been salts
fed to give up the ghost and stay
down. If he had, instead, been big
enough to rise above it all and fight
it out to a finish there would have
been no failure. At such times he
who is up and doing and keeps his
eye on the trigger commands the
situation, takes up the battle and
WINS"
Henry Clews.
The man who wrote the above
paragraph, evidently is man WHO
has experienced the trials and diff
culties and has travelled over the
rough, deep and rugged hills of life
anil whose words express to me
world of thought. Every person in
this wide universe who possesses a
normal brain and intellect is blessed
with one of the greatest gifts the
Great Creator, has bestowed upon
mankind. That gift is called Self
Analyzation., In the dark and still
ness of the night you and | have
looked back over the winding road
of our past lives. We have put
aside pride and dignity as we aim to
get it's focus under the microscope
of our mental vision and we have
then clearly seen the outline of our
own individuality. We readily per-
celve the defects in our armor and
how we have been.defcient in firm
ness, energy, ambition and persever-
ance; in integrity, intuition and rea-
son and we then realize by this
analysis the improvement, progress
and stability which have been lack
ing in the formula and composition
of our lives. The most successful
men of past centuries and of modern
times have been and are men who
have failed, time and time again.
Failure has come to them just as
the sun of Success seemed to them
to be in it's glory and they have
struggled to their feet and pushed to
the front again with more vigor, en-
ergy, hardihood, perseverance and
knowledge than they ever had be-
fore, and regardless Of every oppos-
ing obstacle and adversely which
have only been more of an inspira-
ton to them to push forward and
they lave won out.
You and I, my friend, although
handicapped to some extent, have
many opportunities within our reach
and if we only grasp them we have
almost as good an opportunity to
win out the great battle of life as
the next man.
We have all made fool of our
selves and you and / both know
when one begins to realize that one
has been a fool in the past, that
there is some hope for that individ-
ual. / may ad that when one
comes to that conclusion, 1t shows
an extraordinary, thorough and COM
plete analysis of ones self.
Always remember that railroad
train has to pull up the long, steep
and heavy grades and down as well
as over the flat, smooth and level
road bed, and so you and | have the
uphill climb ahead of us.
When we begin to make this
analysis of our lives and the reaction
shows us it has been a failure and |
we fully realize it, then you and l
have just begun to buck up and saw
wood. We may have the best things
of life, like the rest of men who have
won out; if we only make strong
determined effort.
The world despises gutter. Are
you and /, my friend going to stay
down just because we have had tn e

l. R. Pence, a prosperous Surrey
farmer, was in Minot Monday. Mr..
Pence says that he has succeeded
well with potatoes, corn and other
products of mixed farming for the
past six years. He was one Of the
first farmers of that district to grow
corn. Last year he raised a good
many bushels Of good corn, which he
has been feeding to his COWS and
hogs. "My COWS, hogs and potatoes
have helped me out wonderfully dur
ing the past two years." he said. II
sold more than a thousand dollars
worth OF potatoes and will plant Is
or 90 acres this spring. We can
make good money from potatoes some
years and can always break even or
better on them, any year. My
small potatoes, boil and feed to the
hogs ..
Mr.. Pence keeps an account Of ev-
cry cent spent and received during
year and takes an annual inventory.

NORTH DAKOTA TO
GET NEW RAILWAYS

"A number of reasons, preniAsAt
among which are lack OF national
business extension tendency and pres
Mential election year, are respoAst-
bic for the fact that little railway
construction Is planned in the Unit
ed States" said prominent Grand
Forks railway man recently. IN
spite OF this fact, it seems that North
Dakota Is to have over eight hundred
miles of new railway, and that SOA-
struntion work win begin as soon
as weather conditions will permit.
Prominent among the new lines 70 bo
built are the extensions of the Great
Northern and the 500. They have
teen assured, and the contracts IL
grading and track laying are let.
while two other lines, the Stanton
extension Of the Northern PaciAe and
the line of the Chicago, Minneapolis,
Rd River Valley & Canada iroz
Fargo to Winnipeg are being plan
ned. Much work has been done on
the Great Northern from Ayr to Mi
not, and the coming season will see
this line practically completed.
On the new 500 line, known az the
Medford-Devils Lake-Drake line, the
contractor is now assembling mate
rial at Esmond, N. D., and will move
north and establfsh camp at once.
Supplies are arriving and twelve hun
bred men will be housed at the camps
north Of Esmond, and the work viii
be rushed In order to complete ~
July l., the time limit in the con-
tract. Ii seems probable that mere
acres of land will be made cassidy
available and more lines Of railway
track will be laid the coming sum-
mer in North Dakota than during any
year in the past ten.

for Judge of the circuit first be
nominated and that next there be
selected one member from each of
the counties as a member of the ex-

"A motion was made to limit nomi-
mating speeches to fifteen minutes
each and the secondlng speeches to
five minutes each, but it was op-
posed by George NJ, Hoffheimer and

Several delegates declared this an
attempt to adopt gag rule. AS the

much time. the motion was with
drawn and all we're thus given priv
ilege to speak as long as desired.
John j, Davis presented the name
