WIRE AND WIRELESS WONDERS.

Marvels Of invention have come so
often in the past few years that the
promise Of the American Telegraph &
Telephone Co. that 1t will be possible
next year to talk from New York to
San Francisco, distance Of 1850
miles, causes no excitement. Fifteen
years ago such a thing would have
been classed as impossible.
At that very recent period to talk a
distance Of 100 miles was considered
something OF feat. BY means OF q
loader" or kind OF coil, distributed
along telephone line at regular in-
tervals, the voice is strengthened by
each device. BY crossing at regular
intervals the two copper wires used
to carry the messages in some mys-
terious manner three telephone mes
sages can be sent over the two wires.
Perhaps one reason why such an
achievement can be received with so
little general interest is that the wire-
less wonders are taking precedence as
being more spectacular. Wonderful
as is the sending Of messages through
the medium of a wire, a more power
ful appeal to the imagination is its
sending through empty air.
On the same day that the announce
ment was made of conversation
across the continent was that of a
message being sent by wireless teIe-
graph between tower on Long Island
and another in Germany, a distance Of
$500 miles. The wireless telephone is
in its infancy, but is following in the
Footsteps Of its parent.
Any contest between wire and wire
less as a means Of communication is
interesting both from the standpoint
Of working and possible re-
duction in tolls.

BRECKENRIDGE HOTEL

Structure.

day from Breckenridge. Mimi. where
he has been looking after the open
ing Of the Hotel Stratford, erected by
his company.
"A year or so ago a fire complete
iy wiped out the principal hotel Of the
city. IT had paid well, but the owner
did not possess sufficient capital to
rebuild it. The citizens Of Brecken-
ridge felt the need Of proper hotel
facilities. and local hotel company
was organized and purchased site.
Nothing further was accomplished, be-
cause OF lack of organization and
energy to make the issue real.

TWENTY YEARS AGO

Jan. 2s.-The legislature took only
one ballot on the election Of u. S.
senator. Eighty-nine members were
present making forty five necessary
for choice. Senator Mccormick pro-
tested against the record Of the vote
of the senate ballot of the previous
day claiming that Benton should have
been declared elected ais he had AZ
votes, but Il was shown that while
he had gained 8 votes, he had lost 4,
and therefore only had As. The ballot
OF the day showed Worst, q; Casey,
10; Kingman. 26; Roach, 81; Muir,
8; Benton i; Walsh, 5 and Louns-
berry, 2.
At the republican caucus the pros
position was taken UP as to how many
would vote for Casey or would not
vote for him under any circum-
stances. This resulted in "a votes for
and 1S against. Anderson was the next
name considered and there were is for
and rs against. Fifteen were in favor
OF Kingman and 20 against him.
Seventeen were for Smith and 26
against him, while Worst had 20 for
and % against. On the basis of all
of these candidates being out of the
way the vote was decidedly scatter
ing, but the highest number received
by anyone was q for Charles A, Pol.

they considered themselves out of the
race.

A committee of ladies accompanied

Judge Lauder of the fourth district

Lisbon, which ended long drawn out
litigation. Mr.. Herrick was indicted
for forgery for swearing that Judge

entries TO be made in the district court
docket and the clerks minutes. The
case was a very spicey one and the
litigation lasted several years.

ballots on u. s. senator and Casey
secured 81 votes on the first ballot, the
most he had had during the contest,

THE NATIONAL FAULT.

Americans, especially in the west,
are too prone to take a gamble on the
future. Many young man has mort
8gaged the best years of his life, be-
Come q veritable slave to debt, in or
1ler TO maintain q position beyond his
incoIne, to 'put on a good 'front.'
Speaking OF this failing in an address
kbefere the conservation congress at
Pierre. S, D.. A. e. Chamberlain, devel-
epment agent Of the Great Northern
said:
The worst disease of the American
people today is extravaganza, and by
that ] mean national extravaganza,
state e&traVagance and municipal ex-
travagance, as well as individual ex-
travagance. Neither as q nation, a
state a county. city, town or town
ship, nor as an individual, are we as a
rule disposed to live within our means
Nationally we have been for years
Speeding In anticipation OF an increas-
%d income from different sources.
states do the same thing and so have
most of our smaller municipal organ
izakions.
When more money has to be raised
to meet these extravagances of the
EaIlOn.
the authorities reach a little deeper
into the pockets of the citizens and ex-
tract therefrom by taxation as many
dollars as is necessary to meet the de-
ficiency.

nation in effect mortgage your proper

sensation. We cuss the aldermen or
the commissioners, or the legislature,
or congress, or some person other than
ourselves.
One unfortunate phase of this fault,
as to be found on many North Da-
kota farm. In many instances a farm
er, who should have confined himself
to quarter section, has reached out,
rented a section or two, bought a lot
OF expensive machinery on credit, gone
into deeper debt for horses, for grain
and for the necessities of life-only to
make himself a slave for years. There
is always the hope of big killing
the gamble with the future instead Of
'piasing safe.%
This trait extends to the business
world. Instead Of being absolutely
sure before making. an investment,
there Is the tendency to take a
chancs' often with disastrous re-
suits.
As Mr.. Chamberlain has pointed out
these slip-shod, happy go lucky ways
extend to public life. There is pop
ular clamor for something. without
studying ways and means, simply TAX
ing chance gamble that somehow or
other 1t will come out all right in the
future the state is plunged into debt
and the taxes mount higher.
1t is high time that a halt was call
ed. The careful, methodicsl man who
knows what he is doing all the time
who discounts the futurey-is the man
who meets with success. The states
business should be handled that way.
North Dakota is wealthy state and
has many and varied interests that

lMMIeRATloN STATIONS.

Since the tide Of immigration first
set towards the shores of the United

ended its work when the newcomers
were safely past Ellis Island. Having
answered satisfactorily all of the tests
provided, the alien as soon as he set
foot on American soil was left to his
own devices. provided he obeyed the

entirely natural thing, for the most of

snage, and right in New York they
found the largest number OF fellow
countrymen. To go farther there was
no Incentive SO to remain where they
were was the easiest thing to do.
Az the stream kept pouring Its mill
lions into this country the foreign
quarter OF the great city absorbed the
new arrivals. until the lower east side
has become famed Tor its polyglot pop
uIation. Many were able to break
away as their self-confidence grew
with familiarity with the language ana
customs OF the country. But timidity
discouraged the more ignorant from
striking out for themselves, ana the
number Of those who preferred to live
in cramued quarters and on low
wage gradually grew. Tt maattered not
