Country Wonderfully Prosperous.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
reports from the department OF build
F., ings in the various cities, showing the
amount of construction that is now I'M
der way. That these statistics are en-
couraging, no one who studies them with
any care can deny. The latest figures
available are those for the month of
June and these show that, in most in
stances, there was a considerable in
crease in Che amount of building in proc
ess of construction as compared with
that of year ago In a number of
localities the records for the first half Of
the year showed a slight loss compared
with the corresponding time year ago,
but with the coming of the summer
months the improvement was marked,
On the other hand, in few of the cities
where the last month recorded showed q
slight loss instead of gain, the records
for nalf a year reveal distinct gain.
That there should be some cessation of
building activity during period that
has witnessed the important changes in
tariff and financial conditions need sur
prise no one. 1t may be doubted wheth-
er any one believes that there will be
any long season of depression. The coun-
try, as a whole, is wonderfully prosper
Gus and the crops, which are the real
basis of all our wealth, give promise
of wonderful fruitfulness. Nothing can
stop the rapid growth of the country
in prosperity and population, and this
means that we must continue our build
ing activity with undated zeal to house
our leople and our business The last
half of this year is almost certain to be
up with the best average of the past in
this line Of enterprise.-From Stone.

A GREAT WORK coNsUMMATED.

Tie contamination of 10 years of al
most ceaseless agitation and labor was
marked by remarkably subdued dem
onstration last Saturday when the Pan
anna canal was officially declared com
pleted and open to ship traffic. Indeed,
there was so little fuss and feathers
about the affair that the significance of
the accomplishment may almost be lost
sight of in the stress Of more exciting
events in the continent of Europe. The
lack of celebration of the actual opening
of the canal may be ascribed TO the fact
that in six months or more there is to
be formal celebration of the event and
to the fact also that the man who lat
terly has been responsible for the sue
cess of the undertaking is not given to
loud manifestations over his accomplish
ments. Col. Goethals is essentially
doer of things on a grand scale, and that
very characteristic crowds out the con
temptation of lesser but more gaudy
events like celebration over his doings.
Moreover, the present administration in
Washington busies itself, under the d.
rection of its dignifed head, in doing
something besides blowing its own horn.
Hence, the comparative lack Of fanfare
of trumpets at the opening Of the canal
on Saturday and the passage of the fret
ship through the entire channel
However, the canal il one Of the great
est accomplishments Of human minds
and hands in the history OF the world,

thus revolutionizes shipping to a marked

ANOTHER TROPHY GONE--A NEW
PREMIER RAISED.

|
| In addition to the numerous athletic
reverses sustained by the United States
teams in competition with teams of 9th.
Ter nations during the past year, the ten.
mis- defeat last week at the hands of the
Australasian team was another hard
blow at American prestige in the field OF
sports; yet there is some balm for
wounded feelings in the knowledge that
the victory went to the challengers from
Australia only after one Of the hardest
fought competitions ever recorded for
the Davis cup, the international trophy
and also in the knowledge that an Amer
lean player proved himself pre-eminent
at the game, defeating both the mem
bers of the challenging team but being
dragged to defeat by mediocre fellow
player in the doubles competition, while
his playing companion in the singles lost
to both the challengers. For several
years Maurice Mclaughlin, the Califor-
MAN, has stood head and shoulders above
any player in the United States and
has been recognized as the best in the
country, but it was not until last week
that he was in position to be pro-
claimed the best in the world.
That he was placed in such position
was due to his conquest over the man
who, prior to that time, had been re.
garded as the highest exponent of the
game at the present time. Brookes, the
Australasian, had been considered the
most skillful player on the court of any
country by reason of his success in count
less competitions and championship
At the outset of the competi
ton, which was closed Saturday, there
were few who We're sanguine enough to
predict that the American star would
defeat this world heater, and there were
scarcely more who dared believed Me-
Loughin could hold Brookes to a close
contest. Nevertheless, when the players
met at Forest Hills, L. l., it was found
that in his eleverness with the racket,
was the equal of his older
and that in stamina he was
his superior, as the record. breaking set
Of 32 games well indicates. Such test
,f skill against skill was never known
before. and it was only left for the play |
n with the greater endurance to come
out victorious. Mclaughlin was that
player and after the first most gruelling |
yet he had worn down his opponent so
much that the winning Of the other two
sets necessary for victory was compare
lively easy Probably the game Of ten
NE in the United States has never had
PLAYER of such all-sround abilities as
his sturdy young Californian, and while
here is natural regret that the Davis
rophy cup should be surrendered there
: some measure Of satisfaction that the
competition developed an American as
he premier tennis player Of the world.

American Securities.

II excited and frightened holders of
American stocks and bonds had not be-
gun with rush to unload them in New
York, there would have been no neces-
sity for closing the New York stock ex-
change or the other foreign exchanges of
the country This is demonstrated by
the transactions on the Detroit stock
exchange which was opened last Tues
day, with no evidence Of panic on the
part of security holders. In view of the
uncertain conditions in Europe, the De-
troit local stocks made good showing,
the range being only half a point below
the quotations of July 80, when the ex-
change was closed. It is evident that
holders of standard American securi-
ties have az yet no reason for losing
confidence. Their dividend earning prop
critics are as valuable now as before
July 80. and If sales could have been
limited to Americans it is probsble that
the New York stock exchange would not
have been closed As il was, there was
nothing else TO do for panic stricken
foreigners were unloading their holdings
without reference TO actual values.
Under such pressure quotations went
down, and there was nothing better to
do than to deprive the scared foreign
ers of an American market. But the
big markets will not be closed indefinite
ly, and the news from Detroit indicates
that there will presently be return of
confidence. With definite news from
abroad it will probably not be long be-
fore the New York stock exchange viii
be opened and there viii be renewed con-
fidence throughout the country Man
chester Union.

to be comparatively easy prey for flames,

FARGO TO
GET new
INDUSTRY

After January 1, Fargo will be the
manufacturing center for the Snow
Man Baking Powder Co, of Milwau-
kee, Wis. Albert Langenbach, presi-
dent of the company, is now in the
city making arrangements for the in
stallation of the local plant.
The company has leased the portion
OF the old Fargo opera house formerly
used, as a smoking room and for the
present will use Fargo as a. distribut-
ing point for the territory between
here and the coast. Work men are
now engaged in remodling and refin-
ishing the place and expect to have it
ready for occupancy Monday morn
ing. r....
After the first of the year the COM
paiy will find suitable quarters for
the manufacture or their product and
later on in the spring, as soon as a
suitable location can be found, they
Will commence the erection of plant
which will be used for company's use
solely. They expect to be in their own
quarters by June and a considerable
amount of local capital has been in
terested.
The Snow Man Baking Powder Co..
is capitalized for 100000 and is in
corporated under the laws of Wiscon-
sin. The company has been organ
lied for a number of years and for a
long time has felt the need of a
western disturbing point. Fargo was
chosen as the logical point after the
consideration of a number of other
places.
John B. Erickson of Fargo will be
manager Of the local branch.
