WHO srARrED IT.,

In some unknown manner tho
report got in circulation Tuesday
that Wahpeton has the smallpox
"in its midst" OF course there
isn't any truth in the report, there
having been only mild case of
varilOid several weeks ago, and
there has been nothing even re-
sembling smallpox since. But
Tuesday afternoon somebody tele-
phoned from Fargo to learn if
that was the cause of the opera
houses being closed, as had been
reported there, and about mid
night the same night Fergus
Falls called up to know if it were
true that We had the smallpox
here. Funny, isn't it? how such
false reports get in circulation
to the injury of the city's busi-
ness.

EQUITY EXCHANGE NOTES

The fact that the big mills i'm
. Minneapolis, refuse to buy the
farmers wheat shipped to the
Farmers Co-Operative Exchange
is arousing the Indignation of
thousands of farmers all over tho
Northwest.
these big mills are all MEM
herS of the Minneapolis Chamber
of Commerce combine. In some
of his letters to Farmers Eleva-
tor men, John &. McHugh, sccrc-
tary of the Chamber of Commerce
has made it quite clear, almost to
boasting about it, that none of
the large Minneapolis mills will
buy wheat of the Farmers CO.
operative Exchange.
AS there is no good business
reason for this attitude. it natur-
ally follows that the big mills are
doing this to help the combine
fight the farmers movement.
We are receiving inquiries FROM
farmers asking what mills these
are and what brand of flour they
sell. Many of these farmers say
that if the big Minneapolis mills
will not buy wheat from the
Farmers Exchange they do not
propose to use the flour made by
those mills. Here is the list:
Washburn-Crosby Co.. Gold
Medal and Ben Hur flour.
Russell Miller Milling Co.. De-
cident.
Pillsbury Flour Mills Co, Pill
lshury's Best.
j Consolidated Milling Co.. Ccre-
sofa.
None of the mills outside of
Minneapolis have taken this atti-
tude. Practically all of the wheat
handled by the Farmers. Co-op-
erative Exchange is sold to mills
located at interior points.

A SOCIALIST MEETING

The Socialist meeting held iu
the old Booster Club rooms last
Monday night was we'll attended
and was addressed by j. l.. Keep
pier. Esq, of this city, Socialist
candidate for Attorney General
and Leon DurOcher of Grand
Forks, Socialist candidate fol
Congress from this district.
Both speakers confined them
selves mainly to their party is
sues, and neither of them in
dulged in abuse of those who dis
agree with them to the extent that
Socialist speakers usually do, and
in that respect. at least, are to be
commended. However, Mr.. Duro-
cher did considerable knocking OF
the old parties, millionaircs, news
papers and banks, and few people,
If anybody present, agreed with
his ideas concerning the bad re-
suits of advanced land prices, or
his statements justifying the INV.
VS.. in their conduct at Minot
last summer.
The doctrine of dividing up
property was not alluded to, and
it is understood that modern So
cialism as presented by the more
intelligent Socialists does not fav-
or that absurd idea.
While eulogiZing the Socialist
dream of thoroughly sociaiized
system of government, neither
speaker made any attempt to sug-
gest how it. is to be brought "a
bout. The reconstruction neces-
sary to 'enthrone a Socialist sys-
tenn of government would require
much constructive craftsmanship
concerning which no suggestions
were made. Probably they wisely
conclude that Sufficient unto the
day is the evil thereof
No really intelligent person to-
day questions the fact that there
will be other things socialized
than schools, roads and the mails.
but those things which il is prop
er to socialiZe will be socialized
gradually and by the people ire
spective of party. However, the
Socialist party has mission To
perform in calling peoples atten-
tion to these matters and in agi-
tating them until they are accom-
plished.
Both speakers were closely and
attentively listened to, and there
was not the slightest attempt by
anybody to disturb the complete
harmony of the meeting by even
asking a question.

TWO FACTORIES
WANT TO COME
To Wahpeton and They Mako Fea
slbIe Propositions to Our
Commercial Club.
BOTH OF THEM LOOK GOOD
And Il ls Believed That At Least
Ono Of Them will 8e Aooep-
tod BY the City.

The Commercial club is cOnsid-
ering at least two factory propo-
sitions, either of which would
mean considerable for the city
and both Of them might mean a
great deal. One of these factory
propositions comes from q Richr
land county young man, and is
likely to be accepted as it looks
good and is eminently fair to the
city.
Geo. Mankowske, discoverer OF
the windmill process of manu.
featuring electricity for lighting
farm and other buildings, appear
ed before the Commercial club
at its last meeting with a prop"I
sition that is eminently fair and
in all probability will be accepted
Mr.. Manikowske, the inventor.
together with his father ami
brothers, propose to capitalize /,
plant here for the manufacture oil
these mills, and while it is n.s,
yet known what the demand fo1
them will be. their cheapnes;
and their great value to farmerk
seem to place it beyond any reas-
enable doubt that it will sooi
make their manufacture great
industry. !
AS above stated, the Manikow-
ske Company will capitalize til,
plant themselves and ask III
bonus whatever for locating here
their only request being that the
city supply them with ali acre OF
ground for plant and yards, ana
guarantee them free water, light
and freedom from city taxation.
There should be no question If
the propositions acceptance, and
a committee is now at work to Sc
cure guarantee of the only con-
ditions required.
The other proposition comes
from Minneapolis promoter of
foundries, who proposes unde:
certain conditions to form s25,-
900 incorporation to absorb the
IWahpeton Iron Works and manu-
facture a very salable new article.
that seems to leave no doubt If
its financial success and the ree,l-
lar employment of a large num-
her Of men
The conditions required for this
are more difficult to be complied
with than are Mr.. Manikowskc $.
but the plant would probably b"
still more profitable to the city.
Th" matter is still open and The
Times hopes there are .enou..
men with the capital in the city to
assure it's coming.

SOCIETY,".
Christian Church Picnic.

The members Of the Sunday school
and the congregation Of the Chris
tlan church spent the day very enjoy
ably Thursday picnicing in the large
grove of r. N. Moore ON the Bear
Creek pike. The ladies Of the party
provided bountiful lunches, which
were spread at noon beneath the
trees in the big grove. The rain in
the afternoon interfered somewhat
with the festivities, as all were fore
ed to seek refuge to keep from being
drenched by the heavy shower that
fell for some time.
