BETTER OUTLOOK FOR 1914.

The year 1913 closes with many
reasons for encouragement which did
not exist when it began, remarks Hen
~ Clews. 1t opened with grave un-
certainties concerning tariff, currency
trusts and neutrality-suspicious. which
for many years have been at the bot
tom of much of the discomfort in bust
ness and politics. It closed with sever
al of these problems practically set
tied and with adjustment to the new
order Of things the chief necessity of
the, future.
The tariff bill has been passed and
is now beyond range of a discussion
which keeps so large a portion Of the
business community under constant
encouragement and uncertainty. Our
manufacturers now know the condi-
tons upon which their calculations
must be based, and they can go ahead
without disconcertins uncertainty.
Another very important develop
ment which should tend to the r~estora-
ton of business confidence is the at
titude OF President Wilson on the
trdst question. The president con-
siders the Sherman law sufficient for
all practical purposes, because the SUI
preme our has read reason into tho
statute. He is consequently opposed
to changes further than supplement
tary legislation for cleaning up I'M
bigUous points.

Coming to Know Alaska.

Saturday Blade: The pioneer who
followed the trail blazed by Lewis and
Clarke up the Mississippi river, and
across the Rockies and Cascade noun
tains to Puget sound, and set up the
battle cry Of 1910 or fight, knew
what they were talking about.
Had the United States boundary line
been carried north to meet the then
southern Russian Alaska boundary
line, at Sd degrees 40 minutes north,
Great Britain or Canada would have
been cut out Of ports on the Pecifc
coast, and our coast line would have
been continuous.
The government at Washington, at
that time, knew about as little regard
ing the Pacific a and especially
the northwest Pacific. or Puget sound
country, as it does about parts OF
Alaska and the needs Of the people OF
the whole Alaska today. Indeed, the
great and wise Daniel Webster stated
frankly in the United States senate,
that he didn't know anything about
the country west Of the Rocky noun
tains. IN further, he didn't give a
d-n".
That is about the position through
lack of information, taken by the last
national administration with reference
to Alaska. If aCh member of con-
gress could take six months or a year
off and travel from $1,000 to 5000
miles, he would in~telligently under
stand that Country's needs. And about
the time he a fitted himself to legis-
late for the $4,000 white people (euual
10 about one-siXth Of the population
OF the constituency of a member of
congress) he might fail of election,
and the new representative or senator
would ave to do it all over again, or
guess at 1t.
We now come to the purchase OF
Alaska from Russia. by the United
States for $I200,000. England and
Russia were not friendly and the great
Hudson Bay Fur Co, with its power
full London influence and owning near
ly One-half the land in western Can
ada, was eager to have the crown Sc
cure Alaska. The United States and
Russia were very friendly, and, indeed,
in 1867, the United States was under
obligation to Russia and anxious to
pay off a debt. Both countries desired
to keep England from adding to her
Canadian possessions. Neither Russia
nor the United States considered
Alaska worth anything commercially
gold had not yet been discovered) or
we would have paid more for the Dos
session OF a territory equal to one-
nth the size of our w country. We
have up to and including 1912 taken
out Of Alaska in gold, furs. fish, etc.
$50, 753,251. Adding to the Original
cost of $780, 900 the expense Of gov
erning the country, we are about
$490,OOo, 900 ahead. Not SO bad.

Monthly Digest of
Business as Issued
By First National

The January Business Digest issued
monthly by the First National bank,
Fargo, was compiled Dec. 10 and is
as follows:
As indicated in our report at the
close of November, the volume of
business has experienced a consider
able shrinkage in almost all basic
lines. This has perhaps been more
definitely noticeable in the heavy
metals lines as iron and steel.
The volume Of retail business is
quite generally up to the same dates
of last year and considerably above
he five or ten year average ever If
figured ON per capita Of population. The
holiday business has been quite salts
factory and cash business has beer
somewhat larger. People generally
are hesitating on the mourning of
obligations for the future except when
absolutely necessary.
1t is expected that the currency bill
will pass the senate today or tomor-
row and that it will be signed by the
president before Christmas. While it
is certain that the readjustment of
the entire banking business, as made
necessary by this measure, will take
some years and u much con-
fusion, it is hardly possible to forecast
what the real and ultimate effect of
the new system will be upon business.
The recession in business which is
now taking place is not really large in
It's proportions. although it is alto
gether likely that it will continue for
a considerable period. The falling off
is most marked in the steel business
and is freely commented upon, large
ly because 1t is easy to get definite
information on hat business. At
present, the steel and iron interests
are holding their own and. after a
probable shutdown of a week or two
around the holidays, a resumption of
activity is expected. January ship
ments should be considerably heavier
that December n the same may be
true of bookings. A complete return
to average business in this line can
not be expected for several weeks, al
though there is every promise Of a
change for the better about February.
The decline in business should not
be taken too seriously and will not
discourage those concerns which are
doing business on a sound basis. The
increasing number Of idle men must
shortly affect the retail business,
which a suffered little up to this
time. Should the principal railroads
be allowed to make some freight rate
increases, the new activity in rail-
road buying, which has been In evil
dence for a few days. will increase
tremendously. This would bring about
a unemployment of the idle labor in
railroad and heavy manufacturing
lines. Amy considerable increase In
the number of idle men will naturally
bring about wage reductions which
while temporarily beneficial to. certain
employers, is surely not to be desired
in the interests OF the prosperity Of
the whole people.
During last month, the clearings o.
banks were nearly $4,000, 900, 900 less
than the, previous month and one an6

DEWEY's DAY.

Age cannot wither the fame Of Ad-
miral George Dewey, who sixteen
years ago added an eastern empire to
the possessions of the United States.
The admiral was rs last week, and
no city In the United States failed to
congratulate the gallant sailor, and
wish him q succession Of such rememl
brnnCes fol many years to ONE
AS he grows older Adm.ra! Dewey
counsels peace and Cancellation in Am
erican dealings with foreign nations.
But in connection with this aspect of
his character, 1t is well to recall that
he Is a strenuous advocate of an en-
larged navy.
That the dove Of peace is, an ex-
cellent bird to look on, is the ad-
mirals view, but he thinks more high
ly OF the American eagle, and would
like to see the national emblem so
we'll represented on the ocean that
there could be no possibility of mis-
take as to American ability to take
care Of its many foreign concerns at
any point on the globe.

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS IF YOUR
BACK HURTS OR BLADDER
BoTHERs--MEAT FORMS URIC
ACID.

II you must have your meat every
day, eat 1t, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says a noted
authority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost p~aralyZes the
kidneys In their efforts to expel it
from the blood. They become slug
gish and weaken, then o suffer with
q dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick head
ache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the wealth
or is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine gets cloudy. full of sedi-
ment, the channels often get sore and
irritated, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these Irritating acids
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get -four
ounces Of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take a tablespoonful in a
| glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
| been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, SO it nc
longer irritates. thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts liz inexpensive; cannot in
lure, and makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-Water drink.-AdVk
