1t would be well to stop right now, Mr.. Business Man, and do some
very serious thinking if you don't wan to lose a lot Of your customers
this fall and winter. There is n o time to be lost if you want to protect
your interests and hold your trade.
One great mail order house alone, according to an article in a
metropolitan newspaper, is nov preparing to mail ut five million
catalogues. That is just being sent out by one house alone and Stats
States.
million catalogues how many do you suppose will be sci out by the
whole 28 concerns combined?
How many OF these carefully worded, handsomely printed and very
aluring catalogues will be mailed to country people right here in our
W community. wen to people in this downright to your own GUS
toners?
Isn't it fail to assume that almost every farm house, and many of
the town houses, will receive or more of these catalogues?
And isn't it again fair to assume that the people are going to paw
over those catalogues, and look a the attractive pictures Of the thous-
ands of articles. and read Of the "narveously low prices" at which these
goods re sold?
And do you think there are many who a resist the temptation
to send for some OF those very a1urng bargains" especially when
they are led to believe that the goods are sold by the mail order man
for less than what you charge?
Knowing that to be just exactly what a great many of III country
and town friends will do unless Measure are taken to protect our local
firms in their legitimate territory, W e ask you, seriously, what are
you going to do about i9
This office wants and stands prepared to do what it can to pro
tect you and other local business firms from the constant encroach-
ment OF these numerous mail order houses who are doing so much
toward demoraizing local trade conditions. but we cal not do it alone,
or without your corporation.
The question is. if this paper fights for you are you willing to figat
for yourself?
There is al effective remedy for this menace. if you care to apply
communities.

BUSINESSMEN
FAVORABLE TO
PACKING PLANT
MINOT WILL GO AFTER THE BIG
100000 FARMERS CO-OPERAT-
I'VE PACKING PLANT TO BE
BUILT BY THE EQUITY.

A cooperative packing plant for
North Dakota farmers will in all prob
ability be built next year.
Minot has the best chance Of any
city in the state of securing this plant.
Already our businessmen are getting
busy and the Independent is certain
that the proper inducements will be
given.
At meeting of nearly hundred
prominent members of the Equity
held at Fargo recently, the first steps
toward locating and building this
plant were taken.
It was voted unanimously by the
conference that a packing plant to
cost 100000 should be constructed,
as soon as the funds are raised. The
name selected was The Farmers Co.
operative Packing Co., and the CAPT
talization was placed at 100000, with
shares at $25 each, Incorporated I'M
der the plan of cooperative organic
atoms formed by the North Dakota
Society of Equity, dividends limited
to 3 per cent and paying pro rata div
idends to patrons. An attorney has
been hired to look after the legal end
Of the organization.
As mentioned exclusively in the In
dependent last week, the matter will
be taken up at the meeting Of the
Grain Growers Convention in Fargo in
January, at which time the commit
tees will report.
The businessmen of Minot are will
ing to take hold of the project. The
Independent has no doubt but that a
fine site will be offered, 800 acres just
east Of the city between the 500 and
Graf Northern railways. Our bust
nessmen will undoubtedly buy con-
siderable stock if given an opportun-
ity.
Mr.. Walton, one of the members Of
the committee on location, resides at
Minot. He would naturally like to
see the plant located here, providing
the proper inducements were made,
but he being thoro businessman, can
not conscientiouslv recommend Minot,
unless we can deliver the goods.
In talking with number of our
prominent businessmen, we learn that
they are very favorable to the location
Of the plant here. They ralize that
it will mean q great deal to our city
and the entire northwest. This has
become a great stock country. Cattle
and hogs are grown in this vicinity by
the thousands, and with a packing
plant, this business will grow more
rapidly among the farmers and stock
Men. Scores Of cars of stock are ship
ped from every town in this section OF
the state each month, that would find
their way to Minot, were an up-to-date
packing plant located here.
This is the logical point. We are To-
Gated on two transcontinental lines Of
railway with numerous branch lines
terminating at this point. Minot is
the real railroad center of North Da-
kota.
The Independent is glad to see the
Equity take up the packing plant
proposition, which will be worth a

Ward County Press Association Met.
The Ward County Press Associa-
ton held a rousing meeting in this
city Friday night, the session being
held in the reportorial rooms of the
Optic Reporter. Matters Of general in
terest to the fraternity were taken up.
The publishers of the county are pull
ing nicely together for everything
that proves Of benefit to the fraternity
in general. A movement is now on
foot to discourage the practice Of cit
liens of the county sending away for
printed matter, practically all of
which can be done right at home, just
as well and at fully as low prices as
asked by the city printeries. Those
from outside of the city who attend
ed the meeting were President Nc
Laughlin of Kenmare; Secretary Paw
lik of Carpio; H. E. Johnson of Don
nybroog, and D. R. Green of Sawyer.

LIKE A VOICE
FROM THE CRAVE
JAMES JOHNSON RECEIVES
WORD FROM BROTHER IN AUS.
TRALIA WHOM HE BELIEVED
TO BE DEAD FOR FORTY
YEARS.

James Johnson recently received
word from an old friend in Denmark
that brother whom he had given up
for dead was alive and living in
Queensland, Australia. After q 81
lence of over 40 years this news comes
as voice from the grave. In 1871
this brother left Denmark at the con-
clusion of his term of service in the
Danish navy, where he achieved signal
honors for his ability as a mechanical
engineer, and attracted by the great
rush for the Australian gold fields, he
joined the gold hunters.
Three years later word came from
him that he had just returned to the
coast from an expedition inland. At
leaving the party comprised 104, but
starvation and thirst depleted the
ranks to such an extent that only
eight survivors were left of the ill.,
fated expedition. Since this no word
had ever been heard from the brother
and the family had given him up for
dead. Now comes a letter from Jim's
old home saying that the brother had
written to learn Jim's address.
Upon receipt of the news Jim wrote
his brother and made arrangements
for IA meeting either at Honolulu or
San Francisco in December. In his
letter Jim wrote saying that he had
accumulated Is head of horses, Is
cattle, rs hogs and seven children,
with the remark that this would show
he had not been idle, and casually in
quired what the brother had been do
ing. ..
The reunion of these brothers after
nearly half century of separation
will be a most happy one. Mr.. and
Mrs. Johnson expect to leave for, the
west Saturday, to be gone perhaps six
months. Jim says that he is leaving
the arrangement of their itinerary to
Mrs. Johnson and that his only con-
Germ is to have a good tine.
Jim johnson is one of the leading
citizens of the state, enjoys a wide
and extensive law practice, and in ad-
dition to extensive real estate holdings
he is connected with various financial
institutions thruout the state.

Was Made Mason in Ireland.

Col. Alex Scarlett showed repre-
sentative of the Independent a Mason
ic certificate, framed, at his Office. The
Colonel is very proud Of it and he may
we'll be, for it dates back to the year
1869, when the Colonel was made a
Master Mason in Dublin, Ireland. He
was travelling in Ireland between Bel
fat and Dublin for Scotch firm of
stationers, and it was while on the
Emerald Isle that his application was
accepted and he was notified to report
at Dublin for initiation.

The Shah of Persia is also stated to be making ready for flight
 The Bulgarians and Serbs are re- ported to have engaged in a fierce battle today east of Prizrend. No other activity is reported. Owing to the fact that the Austro-German forces are not active London re- ports that it is believed that the kaiser can spare no more soldiers for fighting on the Serbian front. However, an announcement was made from Berlin about week ago to the effect that the Germans would engage in no more fighting in Ser bia than is necessary to hold their present lines, their object having been gained when the opening of the railroad from Nish to Constan- tinople was accomplished

The principal fighting today in the Serbian war zone is between an army of 5000 Serbs and 15,OOO Bulgarians, according to Saloniki dispatches. It is stated that in the Kosovo district. east of Isvor the Serbians have entrenched them selves in a narrow mountain pass and are in control of the heights ot Losjac, where several important en- agreements have taken place sine the opening of the Serbian cam- paign. Considerable anxiety is felt for the Serbians, according to ltali- an dispatches, as 1t is feared that they have been trapped.
 The allies continue to land large bodies of troops at Saloniki. This fact is now receiving the attention of both Berlin and Constantinople. where considerable uneasiness has manife. ted itse't in official circles. It Is stated that the German and Turkish ministers to Greece have filed a protest against the landing If troops at l Greek port, and against further activities of the allies on round supposed to be neutral.
 Dispatches sent out from Rome credit gains of importance to the Italian troops now fighting on the Etalo- Austrian frontier. However, it is stated that the movements of all troops in that region are greatly hampered on account of continuous fall of snow, which blocks mountain passes and makes all of the roads of the region practically impossible for artillery
 Two more British steamships have been sunk in the Mediterranean by submarines, according to London dis patches It is thought that the loss of life was very heavy, as only one ;urvivar has been accounted for.
 Three Belgians are stated to have been executed today at Brussel by the Germans. They were cha with conveying information from Bel gium to British troops and were therefore executed as spies.

At the time the attack was made the Ancona had over 400 passengers on board and a crew of 60. It is impossi ble to estimate the exact number of lives lost. The Ancona plyed between Naples and New York hay ing left the latter port on October IT with a general cargo for Italian ports and 1,250 Italian reservists.
 Berlin reports are to the effect that General von Hindenburg is again pressing the Russians close ly in the Dunaberg (Dvinsk) re- zion. Gains Of considerable import ance are reported. but it is also stated that the fighting is going on under the greatest possible climatic difficulties.
 It is stated at London as having been reported from Berlin that the allies have landed a total of 100000 men at Saloniki since the opening of the Serbian campaign It is also reported that Italy is now preparing to land another army in Albania, with the intention of relieving the Serbian army.
 The German war office announced today that the road to Constantinople is open. The credit for the achieve ment is given to General Boyadji eff, the commander of the central army of Bulgaria, which captured Nish, thereby opening 35 miles of the railroad 10 the passage of mu- has also announced the capture of the Serbian town of Krusevac with 1000 prisoners and 50 cannon
 Fighting is reported on all parts of the western battle front, with no important gains made by either the Germans or the allies. In the Loos region the infantry is cou- tending. while artillery duels are the order of the day in the Cham paign and Beauvraignes districts.
 It is stated in British official cir cles that Lord Kitchener has gone to India there to suppress the preva- lent unrest. The matter has been kept quiet. according to the dis patches but it was deemed best that Lord Kitchener proceed to h. dia and attempt to quiet conditions there.
