Three annual round.ups which sent

territory which O. w. Roberts, state
director for the weather bereau, has
just completed.
"Round-ups were in progress at
three OF the stations visited" said
Mr.. Roberts. At Medora 66 carloads
we're shipped; at Killdeer a like
number, and at Sanish more than Is
carloads. Fifteen hundred head of
cattle were ferried across the river at
the latter point in two days, the ferry
being capable Of carrying SO head of
cattle and seven riders at each trip.
Roads Generally Good
"The roads encountered were gen.

in addition to managing the weather

County Automobile club and is a real
good roads enthusiast. Exceptions
Of course, were found in the Bad

gone down to Wilcox's ranch and OUT

kind west of the Twin Cities. More

The machines throughout will be

there will be great reduction in fire

and cleanliness. The American Laun-
dry Machinery Co. of Rochester and
Chicago, the largest manufacturer OF
laundry equipment in the world, has
experts here installing the plant.
There are machines for the wash

rugs, featherbeds and pillows. and
there are machines which will care

lingerie, or the filmiest cob-web Of a
handkerchief or dolly. The same par

Dickinson, N. D., Oct. Probably
the most picturesque feature Of Dick
inson's campaign for the establish
ment of new Normal school,, on
which the people Of the state will
vote in the general election in No
vember, is the fact that the big work
is being directed, in the main, by Al.
fred White, who, back in pioneer
days, was foreman on Col. Theodore
Roosevelt's ranch at Medora.

the sale of Bismarck's first issue of
paving bonds are progressing nicely.
AS previously announced, thee bonds
were sold at par, with a premium Of
$1.100. equaling almost one percent
on the $4,000, first cost Of the work
in district No. /, and with accrued
interest from date. The total issue
sold was 100000, of which 100000 will
be issued this fall and the remainder
June l, 1916 saving property-owners
in the first paving district about $1,000
in accrued interest.
Another Big Saving.
In reducing the original issue from
$4,000 to 100000 the city commits
sion, Finance Commissioner Battey
estimates, saved at least $3.50 in in
terest charges. This reduction was
made upon receipt of advice from the
Northern Pacific that it would pay
cash for its share of the paving upon
completion, which will mean that ap.
proximately 100000 will be forthcom.
ing from this company about the first
of next June. Had the commission,
acting without this advice, sold the
entire issue of $4,000, as originally
contemplated, it would have been re.
quired to pay interest at six per cent
on this 100000 paid down by the
Northern Pacific for period Of TWEEN.
Ety years, and, even had the commits
sion succeeded in netting four per
cent upon the money lying in its pos.
session, the interest loss in twenty
years would have been $3.50. As
it is, the city will simply issue war.
rants for the Northern Pacific's share
of the work, and these will be re.
deemed when the railway company's
check comes in next spring.
Some Interesting Items.
Streets in district No. 1 will be
paved for a width of 4S feet. The
cost per front foot, reports Commits
sioner Battey, chairman of the paw.
ing committee, will depend upon the
method used by the special assess.
ment commission. This commission
will have full authority to assess the
costs according to the benefit derived,
as the assessors see them. In Gimme.
apolis corner lots are assessed the
long way of the lot: in Mandan and
other cities a double assessment is
levied against corner lots; Chicago
assesses corner lots according to
frontage, all the way round, while
in still other places the corner lots
are assessed 21k' times as much Is
inside lots. If corner lots are as.
sessed double, paving In district No.
l will cost 1880 per front foot, or
S332HO for each 26-foot lot. This
price will vary, where alleys are
paved.
On this basis the average annual
assessment would be 1868 per rs.
foot lot, with an average annual in
terest fee of 1898, making the aver.
age annual assessment per lot $26.61.
The first payment, to be made May l,
1918, on this basis would be 1859
and the assessment would decline each
year until the final payment Of 1853.

Its Possession Is What Makes a a:sn
Successful In Business.
1t was one of the intellectual shocks
OF my young manhood to discover that
an analytical chemist could often gel
only 500 month. l had long looked
with awe upon the accurate percent.
ages and detailed reports of the ana.
lytical chemist. This water contains
2.341 grains of such and such sub
stance per gallon. 1 wondered at the
marvellous man who could get out such
tSe results, and to learn that he al
times gets but $50 a month was a
shock.
The explanation is this. The chem,
tcal analysis of ordinary specimens is q
technical process of a perfectly definite
character. If a work is definite and
therefore capable of being reduced ia
clear cut instructions the pay that II
commands is net likely to be high, even
though the work itself is complicated.
1t requires good memory and painstak-
ing obedience to instructions. Many
persons have these qualities. The
scarce attribute is judgment, that in
detnable quality capable Of meeting a
new situation and handling it with
common sense or gumption, to put it in
homely term.
Judgment is indefinite. We cannot
lay out instructions in advance to tell
the manager how to meet situations.
To buy good raw material he must
learn to know the raw materials, and
many of the tests he applies are too
fine for words to reduce to instructions.
He must decide for indefinite reasons
that now is good time to enlarge or
retrench; that here is a good place to
open Up business; that now is a good
time to buy or to run low on stock;
that this man needs to be hired; that
this man needs to be fired.
1t is in the making of decisions that
successful management lies. And most
of these decisions are beyond rule.
They are indefinite. They are judg.

will be seen in reports of work being
done in their own church and plans
for more effective work in the COM

the church is needed in effecting these
plans and strenuous effort is being
made to enlist and interest everyone
in some form of personal service for
her own spiritual growth as we'll as
