"7hev Are Comma Back"

fefrihg TO some wiser and sadder ones, who are re-
turning to North Dakota after q fruitless attempt to
lind that mythical pot of gold said to be located at
the end of that beautiful irridescent rainbow. ..
The pot Of gold in these instances was supposed
to be IN Canada and the returning wanderers may
deem themselves lucky that they are in a position
to give the lie to that dictum Of Daseballists and
~pugilists. to the effect that no one ever comes
back" en-. - >.
Canada, and particularly the western parts, has
been much overrated, misdescribed and exploited,
the unfortunate factor in the case being that this has
been done, in many instances, at the expense of some
of North DakOta,s best citizen farmers. High winds.
drought alkali land and early frosts do not recognize
International boundaries, unless it is to make their
evil effects more apparent the nearer approach Is
made to the north pole, and our returning friends
have found this out by bitter experience. rc
However, as there is more joy in heaven over one
sinner that repenteth, etc, so do we hail withopen
arms those, who have at last arrived at the correct
conclusion that North Dakota is the one best spot
on the globe for the man with willing hands and
Intelligent brain. To then, we say, come to Bismarck
some time between October 7th and 10Th, and per-
ceiye for yourselves what can he done in your own
state by the application of those desirable qualities
which you undoubtedly possess. Bismarck is holding
open house at that time and in viewing the wonders
Of the Third State industrial Exposition you will find
surcease from your unhappy "reminiscences and in
%spiration for. a successful future, to still further i'm
prove our splendid opportunities. - ~c3.-.

Probably not 4ftegature3 setting forth these
things is very we'll but cold arrays of figures and
