The Colorado Northern.

$4,000 10000 would be no small amount of money turned loose
in this and other near sections of the state and Colorado, TO open up
some of the richest coal, mining and oil districts in the west. 1fthie
should come to pass we would in no time be one of the biggest CEN
tiers in the west with our individual resources, along with what the
big company would open up.
Unquestionably the Sage creek basin and surrounding territory
will some day be prospected and drilled and the result will be that
it will be an oil field second to none in the west. We have the miner
ais in big bodies waiting to be developed in both mountain ranges on
both sides of US, and this entire valley can't be beaten for stock rails
ing and agricultural, beside we have mineral water, both hot and cold
here at this point that can't be surpassed any where. We have
printed this fact 81 many times that we, our selves, become tired of it
at times, but it is the truth and each time we print it, some new per
son may read it, and this valley in the long run, profit by it.

Would Make Good.

The talk of running Mr.. Mondell for Governor next election
sounds good. We believe that he would make a better man than the
average, yet it would be a shame to take him out of Congress where
he has been &c efficient and worked to a position where he has be-
come a power in that body. His new bill for enlarged homestead for
the relief of the western people in q grazing capacity, should be
passed. 1t yet remains to be seen whether 1t will be wise to run him
for Governor o retain him in his present position.

To hold a great encampment of veterans, whose average age is
about 10, in midsummer, at a place where the heat is generally al

than ought to have been put upon the aged heroes-Laramie Repub-

A bill has been introduced in the
Wisconsin legislature which has for
its purpose the breaking of the
strangle hold which the big brew
cries have on saloonkeepers. The bill
prohibits a brewery from paying for
the license of any person to conduct
a saloon. it likewise prohibits a
brewery from holding retail liquor
license, and makes a contract void
which contains d clause compelling a
saloonkeeper who rents building
from a brewer to use the beer manu-
featured by that brewer. If, with
the powerful interest exerted over
legislation by the Milwaukee beer
magnates, the legislature passes the
bill, the action will be equivalent to
O. miracle. - " .

Agricultural Progress and Profit.


A farmer correspondent at Devils
Lake, N. D, raises serious objection
to the experiments and efforts of Mr..
J. j. Hill and others to increase the
productivity of northwestern farm
lands, on the singular ground that it
means increase in total product and
consequently lowering of prices re-
allied by the farmer. He points out
in his letter that the crop in 1911
was small, and that in, consequence
farmers realized top prices for their
grain, whereas in 1912 the crop was
large and prices have in consequence
seriously declined-to the great loss
Of the farmer.
A moments thought will convince
our farmer friend that his argument
is untenable, even when considered
from his own individual standpoint.
Suppose by intensive farming meth
DDS he is able to double the yield per
acre of his wheat fields. Suppose his
neighbors do likewise, and in conse-
quence the price of wheat drops to
half its former price. Still he would
be making greater profit. For it
would cost very little more to raise
the increased yield per acre than to
take off the present inadequate crop.
AS the yield per acre increases, in
other words, the cost of production
per bushel steadily decreases. Thus
it lis more profitable ito raise thirty
bushels of fifty-cent wheat than to
raise fifteen bushels of dollar wheat:
on an acre Of land. The money re-
.ceived in each case would be fifteen
dollars, but much less would have to
be taken out Of this for cost Of pro-
;duction in case of the high yield than
in case ot.'thes low one. The fifty
cent wheat would give greater net
profit.
But, as a matter of fact, increased
production in the northwest would
have no such depressing effect on
prices as our farmer friend fears.
The fact is that the world is produce
ing less wheat and other grains than
there is demand for: American
grain exports are steadily declining,
because we eat sdp at home nearly all
we raise. The problem of the not
distant future'is going IS be, how

Asquith's home rule bill has passed
the house Of commons by a, majority
vote of ITO, but it is anticipated
that the lords will reject it.. How
ever, the nationalists feel confident
that they can eventually ram the bill
down the lords Threats Through the
agency of the so-called veto act
which recently became law. !: This
veto act provides that any measure
passed three times by the commons
over the rejection of the lords auto.
matically becomes law. Hence, if
the home rule bill isl rejected by the
lords, the government coalition in
the commons plans to pass sit= again
at the March session OF parliament
and, if necessary, in the 1914 session.
For forty years irish leaders,; have
strived to obtain home rule.

Coming Into Their Own.

We notice that this year the pub
fishers generally are being awarded
the legal rate for public printing, an
indication that official bodies are
getting onto the fact that the print
er-laborer is worthy of his hire.
When it is considered that the price
of type has increased SO per cent in
the past three years. paper stock 10
per cent in the past seven months,
and considerable increase in the
cost of other printshop necessities,
together with. higher wages and
higher cost of living, it is plain that
the price-cutting demands of So
called economical public official bod
les cannot consistently be granted.
The mechanic gets SO to 100 per cent
more than he did a very few years
ago, the price of common labor has
more than doubled, salaries of profess
sional men and women have been
raised, the banker charges all the
law allows him for interest, commits
sions and etceteras, the insurance
companies boost their rates at pleas
ure. If we want anything in those
lines we must pay the price-or go
without. Then why should the
printer, whose work is just as neces-
sary and just as important as any of
those we have mentioned, be asked,
yes, expected to reduce his prices?
We are pleased to note that there is
a growing tendency in most official
circles to recognize that the printer
is entitled to the same consideration
accorded to any other white man.

The Graham committee, appointed
to investigate conditions on the
White Earth reservation, made it's
official report to congress few DAYS
ago. Among other things, the volu-
minous report says that the Indians
of the reservation have been, the
victims of series of governmental
acts designed only to aid lumber
companies and real estate speculate
ors, and that the "Clapp rider: of
1906 was the climax of. the drama. :"
In consequence of the passage of this
'rider" practically all the pine on
the reservation came into the pos
session of the Nichols Chisholm, the
Wild Rice and the Park Rapids lum-
Der companies, the territory being
apportioned to them by prearranged
subdivisions, and in most instances
linked blood leaders plotting the
unoffending victims to their down.
fall" The Clapp 'rider'' is vigor-
ously denounced and the committee
says that the act :'may be of more
than passing interest to congress. -
1t is an abominable shame that con-
gress should have PASSED this Clapp
lava law framed in the interest of
the lumber sharks and which made
it easy for them to rob the Indians
of their possessions.

to raise enough food to feed the
world? Under these conditions
prices must continually tend to be
high. The wise farmer is he who
raises the utmost possible from his
land, and who at the same time re-
stores its fertility continuously by
proper soil treatment. His profits
will be larger and his land will con-
tinually become more valuable.
Progress in agricultural methods
means more money for the farmer
every time. There is no escape
from that. Minneapolis Journal.
