PROSPERITY IN NORTHWEST,

In a statement issued at Minneapolis
yesterday the 500 railroad announces
a. new earning mark, which is conclus-
i've evidence Of the prosperity of the
northwest, and particularly Of North
Dakota. Much Of the 500 system run
through this state and the North Da-
kota lines have been among the big
gest factors in contributing to the sue
/ cess of the 500.
The company's statement shows the
most prosperous year in its history.
It's earnings have passed the $32, 0OO.-
600 mark and surpassed the former
high record of S ,260,421.
This statement Of the 500 tells a big
story. A few years ago the 500 line
was looked upon as something Of an
experiment. 1t has made a great
gain in earnings every year and has
been a big factor in the uDbuiIding of
North Dakota. On the other hand. the
natural of North Dakota
have made it's lines in this state an
assured success from the start.
The history Of the 500, as has been
the history Of every other railroad
coming into North Dakota, is the same.
Immediately a new line is laid in this
state, the country tributary to it is
developed and, supporting it, makes it
a splendid paying investment.

on encounters a rut. and he thinks
| nothing Of 1t. Moreover. a minute or
two Of time at a. setting would recov-
er a bushel Of wheat, otherwise
wasted. 49,
There are about $4,000 farmers in
the state, and If farmers would con
tribute on an average one bushel
each, no one would feel the sacrifice
and the boys at the agricultural COL
lege would lave a safe and comfort
able place to live while attending
school.
The boys certainly are entitled to a
dormitory. The farmers should have
dren, while away attending school at
the agricultural college, should be
properly housed.
The boys feel the need Of a dormi-
tory and have effected an organization
to secure n in this way, having
faith in the generosity and good will
OF the farmers generally.
1t may be argued that the funds
should be appropriated by the legis-
lat1Ve assembly, which is true; but
even then the money would come out
OF taxes to which farmers contribute
much the larger portion. Every farm
er contributing, therefore, will be aid
ing a generous cause.
The agricultural college is distinct
~O "A OPCl 1ICu DII1IldI l.
IN n interests of agriculture, the
mechanic arts and their associated
sciences. Farmers and others desiring
TO give their children an education
calculated to meet the demands of
country life and home making, find in
this institution special facilities for
that purpose. The agricultural college
can be made the finest of it's kind of
any in the northwest if each farmer
VIII give it a little personal attention
ana make the small personal sacrifice
suggested by the A. c.. boys. More
over, II the farmers of the state would
agree to contribute, each one bushel
or wheat annually for ten years. while
they would scarcely feel the sacrifice,
it would enable the agricultural col
lege authorities to build up an insti-
tuition that would be in keeping with
the greatest OF all Industries, and
winch would have a material bearing
upon the future prosperity Of our
state. The best thing that can be said
or this plan Is that it would not con-
fict with the interests of any other
educational institution.
Many Of the great educational in
Stltutlons Of the country have been
DulIt up and are largely sustained by
private donations. Farmers, however,
nave never yet acquired the habit Of
making donations for permanent i'm
'roVements having a direct bearing
upon their w great industry. but
such great things can be ACCOMPLISHED
by each n contributing a trife-tust
the price Of one bushel of wheat an
nually-that this idea should bear
fruit without question. The agricul-
tural college boys have organized a
movement entirely creditable in itself
End one that should appeal to every
farmer in the state. In substance it
means that the dormitory the bows
ask for will cost a farmer one bushel
OF wheat. He can donate the bushel
OF wheat, and the boys will enjoy their
dormttory, or he can withhold the
bushel of wheat and the boys, unlike
nose in other educational institutions
Of the state, will have to board in
town and take their chances against
temptations.

FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR now
WELL-KNoWN LOCAL DRUGGIST
SAYS EVERYBODY IS USING
oLD-TlME RECIPE OF SAGE TEA
AND SULPHUR.

Hair that loses its color and lustre.
or when it fades, turns gray, duh and
l~ifeless, is caused by a lack of ulphur
in the hair. Dur grandmother made
UP a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands Of women and men VINO
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous nix
ture by asking at any drug store for
a SO cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" which dark
ems the hair so naturally. SO evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. Besides, it takes off
dandruff, stops scalp itching and
falling hair. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it n draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a. time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur is that, besides .beauti-
fully darkening the hair after a few
applications, it also brings back the
gloss and lustre and gives it an ap-
pearance of abundance. -Advt.

Lind's Money Mission.

Baltimore American: 1t may be- that

pride Of Huerta, and very honorably,

seems not yet to have failed, shall take
up the threads of negotiation and spin
through them the golden thread of
American finance for the dismantled
southern republic, the way Of peace
may be shown on by the sun rays Of
prosperity for the lesser republic.
For the outlook of the comfy of
relations between the two peoples,
with the big American loan as an ex-
elusive financing proposition, is very
enhancing. The tie would be very
firm, and the line Of commercial en-
terprise and interest would be close
and investment made ~gilt-edged.
Mexico would blossom as the rose,
and altar of rose would be the fra
GRANGE of good will on this side of the
border, where the material benefits of
the financing project would be very
great. In the meanwhile, who would
be scoffer enough to say anything

The boys at the North Dakota Ag-
ricsltural college have organized q
unique propaganda for the purpose OF
building a boys dormitory, by invit-
ing the farmers of the state each tc
contribute one bushel Of wheat to de-
fray the expenses of the building. This
action on their part indicates consid-
erabie initiative, and the proposition
should appeal strongly to the farmers
of the state. One busllel of wheat is a
small contribution, in view of the

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Immense Timber BUILDING,

Engineering Record: The high cost
and the difficulty Of securing lumber
in large sizes long ago eliminated
wood as a structural material except
In falseWork temporary construction
and structures of small size. Machinery
hall, now being built for the Panama
Pacific exposition, is therefore, of
more than usual interest, since its
frame is entirely Of wood. 1t has a
floor area of. over eight acres, and an
extreme height OF 5135 feet. Using, as
it does, about 1900, 900 feet board
measure) of lumber, it is fairly safe
to venture the prediction that it will
be the last great monumental struc-
ture to be built Of native timber and
we may even hazard the statement
that never again will its equal be
erected of such material in this coun-

reading with avid interest, if with a
minimum of understanding. Every
journal has opened its columns, as we
have, to the discussion Of some vital
question touching human life or the
state of society, and, if some of the
letters which are published (and many
of those which are not) deserve the
epithet silly, the great majority give
evidence that they are the outcome of
real and serious thinking while not a
few are actually useful contributions
to the solution of the questions with
which they deal. The sea serpent now
adays rears his ugly crest in vain;
the gigantic gOoseberry turns green
in win envy. The public heeds
them not. 49,.
In point of fact the "silly" season
Men Inc women use their leisure to
disentangle and coordinate to weigh
and to formulate some of the impress
sions which they have acquired sub
consciously in the hurry Of daily life.
We think that we and u contempor-
aries do good public service by putting
forward at this season Of the year
some subject for serious debate. The
mischief of the age is that the ordi-
thing. He is always doing. His mind
becomes a rag bag of useless expert
ence; but in the hours of leisure he
has time to read n to think in an
orderly name if he will give himself
the trouble to do SO. The effort does
him good, not harm. If his heart be-
comes, hot within him till the fire kin
dies, and at length he speaks with his
tongue or writes with his pen, he is
the better for doing SO, whether he
contributes much to the common
stock of ideas Or not. ..s SEW
