that the balance of trade will turn in

argued that creditors frequently do not
press for payment when they are as

The situation. however. is without
parallel. owing to conditions brought
about by the war and for the present. at
least, il would seem natural that London
will take all the gold she can get from

science-stricken, and desiring to re-
turn to his wife and little child, Chas,
Gum, who lives eleven miles from
Willow City, N. D., wandered into the
Office Of Sheriff Johnson and asked
that he might be placed in pail, ad-
hitting that he stole a Wagonload of
wheat at Willow City, December 2,
later selling it at Bantry.
On being admitted to the sheriff's
! Office, Gum said: Wat
II wish you would arrest me-"
"What for?"
II am the man who is wanted in
North Dakota for the stealing of a
load of wheat answered Gum, his
eyes filling with tears.
Gum cried while repeating his
| story to the sheriff, and said that he
wanted to return home and tell the
whole story. He told of how he and
Lewis Anderson, who is still at large,
stole the wheat, selling it for $43.20,
dividing the "spOils."
Sheriff johnson telephoned to Sher-
if s. o. Sampson Of Towner, Nc
Henry county, of the confession. The
sheriff wired to hold Gum. He ar
rived here early Monday, returning
on the next train with his prisoner.
Gum had walked forty miles Sat

without a cent when he arrived here.

BISMARCK, THE
BUSINESS Center
Merchants Estimate Large In
crease Of Trade Over Any
Previous Year.

No sooner has the Christmas rush
been cleared up in the mercantile
houses of the city than the merchants
plunge into the work of taking stock
of business done last year. Some of
them started yesterday, but probably
all Of them will be engaged in this
work after today until the figures are
ascertained which viii put the red
gaudily upon the right side of the
ledger.
While unable to give more than es-
Inmates, several of the leading local
merchants yesterday expressed the
opinion that the business Of this
year would exceed by one-third to
one-half that of last year, and GER
tainly everyone will hope these esti-
mates hold good.
In addition to local trade, Bismarck
wholesalers and retailers have an i'm
mense territory to draw from, and no
city in the state is more fortunate
in it's railroad facilities, for in all
directions the steel streaks radiate
from the Capital City like the main
strands of a spider web, and il addi-
ton there is a good river service of
steamers on the Missouri. From all
points more in the telegraph and tele-
phone lines, making communication
with surrounding territory easy, cheap
and unexcelled. These facilities for
trade have greatly induced business
of all kinds to come to Bismarck,

for the commission was exhausted,
and he never received his last ex-

fruitlessly the suit which was decid-

result of a Judgment for principal

to nearly $500.
Mr. Hammond is we'll know in the
state as one of the old-time political

has not only eschewed politics and
removed to Minneapolis, but has pur-
chased the famous Chippewa springs
