In THE HOTEL LOBBIES

william Billy Donneiy, the well
known travelling man, has returned to
ais home at the Waldorf hotel in this
city from an extensive trip east, and
while away he visited Iowa, and Illi-
nois and Indiana, spending consider
able time at Marshalltown.
What astonished me- said Mr..
Donnely, fin my travels about the
country was the great corn crops in
the middle tates that | visited. I
never saw the like OF the corn crops
and the country Is sure going to have
something great in corn this rear If
it never did before. Then coming
through on the train / noticed the
great wheat crops up in the northwest
and Icould not help but marvel at the
hotutifulness Of providence. truly
think from what | have heard all over
the country that North Dakota while
ing the breadbasket of the world
must give some of the other states the
title of the corn bin of the world. BY
the way | have been told and in going
about the state / have seen that North
Dakota is up some in the way of
growing corr herself and / have heard
the people down in the three ~ states
wonder what North Dakota is going
20 do in the way of cor this year.
There is a good deal of talk down that
way Ui pGODtG GOAitAt1S up AtIO ANOAt4A
Dakota to live n you a rely upon
1t that | gave the old state a good send
)f and | was not exaggerating either"

aker of the Northwestern railroad, was

said he, and already it has begun to
show up, The big crops of this season
in the northwest mean plenty of travel
IN all of the roads both east and west
and south" he continued because the
average North Dakota farmer, as we'll
as the farmer of Minnesota, likes to
see what is going on in the world
when he has lots of money and he
loves to travel and the big crops OF
his season means plenty OF money,
SO I expect the business in railroad
circles to be excellent"

greater satisfaction to me than tn

Of the new third party movement y

aThere are many differences la tn
platforms OF the new party and tn
democratic party. The greatest feat
Gre I think Is the plank proyidinl
far votes for women. An equal SUI
rsaga pIank could be gottei

slnporters this fall, There are man
aeonle who still cling to h idea tina
thig is d part of the republican party
