THE AUTO BUSINESS.

This is an age which has ceased
to marvel at unusual instances OF
commercial development. Progress is
made with such tremendous rapidity
that it has ceased to receive more
than passing attention. But even this
age is compelled. in he language OF
the street, to "sit up and take notice
when it contemplates the auto
industry.
EJust what has been done with the
automobile is told in a most graphic
way at the Fargo Automobile show
which opened this morning at the
auditorium. Fargo has reason to feel
proud of this show. 1t is undoubtedly
the most complete that has ever been
given in the northwest outside the
twin cities and Duluth. and in fact,
because it is the first automobile show
in the northwest in 1914 it really sur
passes anything ever seen in this sec
ton Of the country.
The automobile business has grown
TO such proportions that it is now
said to be the second industry in the
United States. which is "some'' record,
as records go, when it is taken into
consideration that every living adult
can remember the time when there
were no automobiles,
The great business is Of vital i'm
portance to Fargo, and this is also
proved and brought home with telling
force by the auto show. There are
twenty-five different exhibits at this
show. and when it is remembered that
every one is made by a bona fide
dealer with a business establishment
in Fargo, the Importance Of the indus
try to this city may be appreciate
ed.
For years the implement business
has been Fargo's leading industry and
for years this city has beer noted as
one of the greatest distributing points
in the world for farm machinery, but
if the automobile business continues
to expand in the next decade as it has
in the past, and there is reason to be-
lieve hat it Will, the implement busi-
ness must look to it's laurels.
The men back of the automobile
business here are enthusiasts,
energetic and resourceful. They have
put on a splendid exhibition of their
wares, and have spared no expense
to make the exhibit beautiful and at
tractive. They are to be congratulate
ed, not alone on their show but also
on the public spirit which they have
shown in donating all the proceeds to
the auditorium building fund, and
every person in Fargo owes it to him
self and to the men who have put
on this show, to go and see it.

mold in a narrow range and have
shown a fairly firm tone, not because
of any commercial activity, on the
contrary there is a lull in both milling
and export, but on account of the
relative smallness of the floating
wheat supplies.
although the selling pressure in
the pit has dWindled to very small
proportions consumption is insufficient
to make material inroads on the
terminal accommodations to provide,
by the lifting of hedges, any improve
ment in quotations. In the domestic
field flour buyers are disinclined to
provide for their future wants owing
to the agitation for free wheat in
Canada and foreigners have not shown
the concern expected by the shortage
in the Argentine harvest.

Borden government do this 1t is be-
lieved that the measure will not 20

the unusually close marketing Of
Canada's spring wheat will leave very
little available for the domestic
market the remainder of this season,
especially, as it is inferred that the
stocks at Fort Williams and Port
Arthur have been sold abroad for
shipment at the opening of naviga-
ton. ....
'The export. situation from the
domestic standpoint Is muddled by the
annual Russian mystery. With q small
Argentine surplus, the poor prospects
in India and the Asiatic- demand, for
Australian wheat that is springing
up, the United States may we'll look

with offers. Since the first of the year
the seaboard has reported no export
business but in the last week export
ers have been buyers of hard winter
wheat at interior points which is, at
least, in anticipation of export sales.

A SOUND ADMINISTRATION,

The Milton Globe gives Governo:
Hanna credit for giving the state {
sound business administration in tn,
following comment:
1t is generally understood at
this time that Governor Hanna
will be q candidate for renomlna-
ton for the goVernorship on the
republican ticket next spring. The
governor is engaged in several
tasks for the betterment of the
state and for a more economical
mode of government and we be-
lieVe he feels that he should be
allowed to complete the good
work so splendidly begun, and as
a consequence will ask for anoth- .
er term as governor of North Da-
kota. He has, despite howls to
the contrary, given the state q
good, sound business administra-
ton and 1t Is conceded even by his
enemies that he has saved the
taxpayers thousands of dollars NV
reducing and cutting off unneces-
Sary expense which in the mast
has been connected with the state
government: He has also done a
great deal towards bringing the
two factions of the republican,
party together again, and in this
his friends contend he has been
successful to a great extent.
