TEST SAFETY RAIL.

Grand Forks, Aug. 25.-Advices
have been received here by those In.
terested in the patent safety rail, the
invention Of North Dakota men, to
the effect that the preliminary test
OF the Hellstrom. Olson safety rail,
the product of the American Safety
Steel Rail Co., is expected to be made
in the not far distant future. .
The preliminary test Of. the new
rail will be made, in all probability,
at the Shoreham terminal Of the 500
railroad near Minneapolis, where they
will be used by every %eastbound train
out Of that metropolis.
Arrangements were made with the
500 road for this test some time ago
and the plans were perfected last
spring for an ms pectfon by the inter
state commerce commission. When
all is in complete readiness for the
preliminary test; an official inspec-
ton will be made by the safety ap.
pliance committee of the commission.

Thrifty Persons
Who Got Ahead

From newsboy to president Of a
corporation with an annual business
Of $1,00O,OOO in fourteen years, is the
record Of Max McGraw, now. at the
age Of t%hirty-one years, M Of the
leading business men of the Middle
| West and president of a manufactur.
ing company with offices in Sioux
city, Omaha and Los Angeles.
And Mr.. McGraw got his start by
saving money, having embarked in
business at seventeen years of age
with $500 which he saved from the
earnings of a newspaper "route"
which he Carried" for five years and
q half. '
The route was seven miles and a
half long and young McGraw covered
it twice a day on horseback, summer
and winter, all those years, and stud
led evenings.
Is it any wonder that such industry
and thrift have SC early Vol success?
Abiding to the fact that SO many
Greek immigrants here find employ
ment as bootblacks, a newspaper wit
said: THE Greeks did not do very
we'll at the Olympic games, but they
shine in America"
The story of Gus Travillas of Chi
cago shows that grit~and thrift are
not the exclusive@pos session Of any
one nationality, and the Greeks can
succeed here as we'll as persons Of
any race in America, which is the
melting pot" of many nationalities.
Ten years ago Gus was a newsboy
on one of the busy street corners of
Chicago. He early became a savings
depositor, and as his balance in the
bank grew, he kept his eyes open for
opportunities, and with the timely aid
and counsel Of his banker, he made a
number of successful deals,
He now owns six nicKleom0ving pic

iron bar, his pockets rifled of 81 in
silver and a pocket knife and his
body left on the railroad track by his
would-be murderer to hide all evi.
dences Of the attempted crime.
That the man was found In time
to save his life before the arrival Of
the early morning train, was due to
the prompt action of Deputy Sheriff
Mox Kuehnl, who rushed to the
scene and removed the injured man
from his precarious position and
brought him to Glendive on No. Z the
same morning, where he received sue
cessful treatment at the county hos
pital. The man in his unconscious

REPORT ON
TAXATION 0F
CORPORATIONS
BY COMMISSIONER DAVIES OF
THE BUREAU OF CORPORA
TlONS - CALIFORNIA LEADS
COLLECTIONS OF $11,ooo,ooo.

Washington, Sept. 29-With collec-
tions of $11, 100000 California led all
the Pacific mountain states in the
taxation of corporations in 1912,
Commissioner Davies of the bureau
of corporations reported today to
the president. That amount was eX-
ceeded only by Pennsylvania and
New York, and was not approached
by any other state The report Gov
cred Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Col
orado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New
Mexico, California, Washington and
Oregon. OF that group California
alone separates the source Of state
and local revenue. The special taxes
fixed on corporations for state pur-
poses yielded about 76 per cent Of
the required revenue.
Commissioner Davies stated that
in contrast to the use of special
taxes on corporations in California
was the almost complete depend
ence on the general property tax
in Nevada and New Mexico" Mon
tana, the report showed, applied a
gross receipts tax to railroad and
express companies.
A noteworthy feature of the tax
system in the Pacific and mountain
group, Mr.. Davies stated, sis that
most of the state constitutions con-
tain minute provisions regarding
taxation, in strong contrast with the
constitutions of the North Atlantic
states in which only a few funda-
mental principles are laid down"
Commissioner Davies declared that
''the failure of many state central
boards to announce definitely the
methods used by them in assessing
corporations delays the solving of
the important problem of correct
corporate assessment. Moreover,
he added, publicity in this matter
is the only means of guarding against
inaccuracy and unfairness." In
many states of the western group
it was impossible to estimate the
specific amount of taxes paid by the
corporations as a whole. In Utah,
the corporations assessed by the
state paid about 90 per cent of the
states taxes.

DEMAND FOR
COTTON GOODS
HARDING MEMBER OF RESERVE
BOARD ADDRESSES NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION OF COTTON MAN
UFACTURERS.

Lenox, Mass, September 30-Before
the National Association of Cotton
Manufacturers here tonight w. p. G.
Harding, a member of the federal re
serve board and student of present
economic conditions in the south, pre-
dicted that within the next few months
there will be a steadily increasing
demand for cotton goods by consum-
ers and a consequent demand for raw
cotton by the mills and for export.
Mr. Harding said:
81 shall not undertake in the pres
ence of the foremost experts to haz-
ard any guesses as to the probable
consumption of cotton within the next
few months, but will be bold enough
to predict that as the season pro-
crosses, there will be a steadily in
creasing demand for cotton goods by
the consumers, with corresponding
, demand for raw cotton by the mills,
with marked increase in the demand
for export.
"Of course" he continued, 'as long
as present conditions continue, the
demand from Germany, AustriaHun-
gary, Belgium and France, will be
greatly curtailed but there should be
good demand from Great Britain,
Spain, Italy and from Russia, which
can obtain it's supplies independently
of routing through the Baltic Sea.
Ship room is now available, prompt
action by congress has enabled our
government to provide marine insur-
ance, the Bank of England is again
discounting bills and practically all
the obstacles in the way of exports
to all foreign countries, except Ger
many and Austria-Hungary, have been
| tions have within the last few days
been vastly improved by the formation
of the gold fund as approved by the
secretary of the treasury and the fed
eral reserve board, and as our exports
of grain and cotton increase in volume,
as they must do in the very near flu.
ture, normal quotations for sterling
bills will again prevail.
Cotton goods are the cheapest OF
all textiles and should replace during
hard times finer and more expensive
! fabrics. Cotton can be used in con
siderable quantities as a substitute for
jute and other materials in the manu-
facture of burlaps and sacks, mills
| in England are reported as running
| double time on khaki for army uni
forms, and there is no reason to doubt
that the trade will ultimately absorb
the worlds production. Cotton manu-
| facturers must solve the problems that
have grown out of the closing of the
cotton exchanges of this country
whereby they have been deprived OF
standardized price and of their
power to hedge on contracts, and must
overcome the further difficulty, occa
stoned by a loss of confidence and cur
tailment of credits, of financing pur
chases.

Baptist Revival Continues.

A very helpful, inspiring meeting
was held at the Broadway Baptist
church last night. Pastor Masters
read for a text James 500, Let
him know he that converteth a sin
ner from the error of his way
shall save a soul from death and
hide a multitude of sins"
He said that the text implied that
the unconverted man was in dan
ger and needs to be rescued from
that danger. The main business OF
the church is to seek to save the
lost man. We are ambassadors of
Christ, and to us has been com
mitted the work of getting man re-
conciled to God. For a Christian
to be a soul winner, he must be
conscious that the sinner is lost
already, condemned now and the
wrath of God abideth upon him.
The trouble is the church is de-
laying this work of soul saving.
People are dying without God and
without hope every day, and we are
delaying calling them to repentance.
Death, judgment and even a mega
tive Christian life are not calcu-
lated to bring the sinner to God,
but the truth is the powerful agent
to arouse and excite the lost to
flee the wrath to come. Are we as
Gods agents bearing Gods truth
to those in danger? The unregen-
crate out of Christ is condemned
already The wrath of God abides
upon them now. Do you believe it?
If Gods people do not warn tn
unconverted, who will? Are you
going to begin now to try to keep
people out of hell?"
At the close of the sermon some
seventy five of the congregation
came forward and promised to begin
the work of winning the lost by
inviting them to the meeting and
to the Saviour. a revival spirit
prevailed.
Mr. Masters urged a full attend
ance Friday night to hear the ser
mon on "Why All viii Not BE Say
ed" The subject for Sunday night
will be "The Signs of the Times
Services every day at p. m. and
7:45 p. m. Everybody is invited
TO come and feel at home in the
meeting.
