ness, is reported as showing a hest
fancy in making investments, due to
the Mexican situation, the Currency
bill, and the tariff situation.
If these same gentlemen could
spend a few days touring the great
northwest, investigating the condition
Of the crops, the optimistic spirit
which prevails from Chicago to the
western coast, it is probable that this
hesitancy would be removed. The
evidences Of prosperity are on every
hand. Not in years has the country
looked forward to a crop such as is
being harvested this year. Merchants
are placing buying orders larger than
ever before, and if the East will only
assimilate a small part of the good
feeling, the temporary hesitancy caus-
ed by Democrat, his administration
will be fully dissipated.

THE BALL AND CHAIN

An excellent suggestion was that
made this week by business man of
Valley City that the idle unemployed
hobo, with no means OF support, who
refuses to work, should be provided
with a striped suit, ball and chain,
and set to work on the streets of the
city.
This section of North Dakota is for
tunately, less liable to labor troubles
than such cities as Minot, where there
is large floating population, but even
here there are scores of men hang
ing about the city who can work, but
won't.
They fill the sidewalks, stretch
their lazy lengths along the sunny
side of buildings either on or just
adjoining the main thoroughfares, and
their conversation is many times an
insult to the decent women of the city
who are compelled to pass them.
Valley City has a police judge who
is not afraid to administer a stiff sen.
tence to such men if they are brought
before him, and if the police are Civ.
en- the proper instruction, the streets
can be cleaned, unsightly humps will
disappear, and the whole thing be
done at nominal cost.

Tomorrow the Brewers win drop
over from St. Paul and a regular dog
fight will start in the Nicollet enclos-
ure. Milwaukee has been giving
splendid exhibition Of a hlowup for
the last week and there are many ex-
pert followers of baseball who do not
hesitate to predict that the Brewers
are hopelessly gone. They won yes
terday, but the whole team Is said to
have lost that confidence and pepper
with which they were performing
month ago. The rush of the Mflfers
has thrown scare into them and
among local fans there is a confidence
that when the next series is over the
Brewers will have dropped the lead
and the Millers will be on top and
ready to fight for it to the last ditch.

A year ago Barnes county sent to
the Bismarck Agricultural exposition,
an exhibit of her grain and fruit prod
ucts which was admired by thou
sands of visitors from every part of
the Northwest. At the close of the
exposition the exhibit was given the
second award over all other counties,
and the county profitted much
through the resultant advertising.
Again this year, the Commercial
club of Valley City has taken In hand
the matter of preparing display,
which will be sent to Bismarck under
the charge of Mark Smith. Mr..
Smith has been securing the county
for top samples of grain, and has had
, excellent results, but necessarily
there are many places which he is
unable to visit, where some of the best
products might be obtained.
1t behooves every farmer and every
other man who wishes to see the value
of his land enhanced to watch fol
samples Of grain which are the best
to be had, and send them to Mr.
Smith at Valley City. They will be
carefully sorted, and may help prove
the deciding factor in the contest.

MORE GOOD STREETS

Once more Mayor Platou is to be
congratulated upopn his interest in
lettering the streets Of Valley City.
An expert highway engineer some
months ago informed that mayor that
the city streets needed no paving for
many years to come if they were gray
eled and properly cared for, and fol-
lowing out the suggestion, several
hundreds of loads of gravel have been
hauled onto Main and other streets,
the good result is being seen after
each rain, No matter how heavy or
long the down pour, two or three drag
gings puts the street into excellent
shape again, and at minimum cost
to the municipal government.
