OPPORTUNITIES"

The pessimist who sees no opportu-
mites for young men any more. such
as there used to be when the men now
rich got their start, argues that the
chances are all taken VI. and the good
places are all filled. But it was the
same twenty-five and fifty years ago
yes, 5000 years ago.
What the pessimist now sees to be
a chance would not have appeared
to him as such at all if some mans in
t~ellect, patience and energy had not
developed it into a good thing. Oil
was a pitiably poor business when
Rockefeller first brought his power of
had made no ~millionaires when Car
negie's brain and enterprise made Of
it an opportunity. Peter Cooper made
his vast fortune in humble glue.
1t is not alone the big things-made
big by somebody's wise efforts-that
are the great opportunities. Hundreds
of men have left enormous fortunes
made from relatively insignificant
things. The man Who first charged
water with carbonic acid gas for soda
fountain use became many times a
millionaire. Emulsions Of cod live oil
have made many millions. Pills and
patent medicines have built countless
Palaces. The simple metallic hooks
over the eyelets by which shoes are
laced brought enormous monetary re-
turns. The little invention by which
the perforations in postage stamps are
made yielded more profit than a gold
mine. A big fortune lay in the silk
fiber device in bank note paper.
Opportunities lie all around. The
world teens with them. If the young
mar does not see them the lack is in
himself. Maybe he is waiting for great
big chances to present themselves
ready made, when little ones, more to
his size and to be made just as big
as its in him to make them, lie all
about him.

According to the Mandan Pioneer
STEPS will be taken at the next session
of the Legislature, January, 1915, look
ing to the re-districting of the sena-
torial districts, in order that the candi-
dates for the lower house may be
chosen from an Individual district
rather than be compelled to canvass
the entire senatorial district for votes.
A member OF the house would be no
less a state officer because he was
chosen from one particular district.
In case this plan should go through
Mandan, for example, would consti-
tute one district, and the other two
would be apportioned in contiguous
territory and according to population.

who makes a complete Of the
district pays more for camT.aign ex-
penses than he can get U of the job.

Upwards of 1000 Texas yearling
steers were received by W. l.. Rich
ards at Dickinson a few days ago.
The shipment made a solid train of
twenty car which were taken to
Eland, fou miles west of Dickinson,
for unloading. An unfortunate delay
Of three hours occurred at Dickinson,
owing to the fact that there was no
engine in waiting to pull the train to
Eland OF it's arrival. This proved to
be a great damage to Mr.. Richards,
as the stock was unloaded just as the
heavy rain came and a good many OF
the y%earlings were drowned in Heart
river. If it had not been for the de-
lay at Dickinson the steers would have
been taken from the cars in time to
have grazed and watered before the
hard rain.
