Aneta, N. D., Feb. 26.-To The For
UNI: In. your issue of the 18th instant,
you have an editorial on the state
owned terminal elevator. viz: "Shall
the location be st. Paul or Fargo?"
1t has been related that an OPP
portunity comes but once in q lifetime.
La 1t possible now. Nthat the great OPP
portunity has come to, our state to
take it's rank among the other great
states or this union, that we are going
to permit it to be wrested from us by
st. Paul?
l have oft times thought that IL the
Savior of man was to return to earth
at this time he would weep over
North Dakota as he wept over
Jerusalem.
How many citizens of our grand state
are there who have given any serious
thought to the conditions that pre-
vail in our state today?
We have been organized for over
thirty five years, and have enjoyed the
privileges of statehood, for over q
Quarter Of a century. And what are
the actual facts? Let us admit them
however humiliating they may be; for,
Notwithstanding the great truth that
our state has been one of the great
est producers of wealth in the union"
yet, during all these years, we have
been simply an adjunct to our sister
state, Minnesota.
The facts are so plain that no man
can successfully deny theIu; for
truthfully speaking, we have nothing
outside of our educational institutions,
for comparatively speaking, we do not
manufacture as much rs toothpick,
within the borders Of our state.
Our -four mills. etc. of any worth
are owned and controlled by Mime
sofa citizens: and the revenue there
from is diverted there to build up st.
Paul and Minneapolis. Not one bush
ell of grain raised in our state, during
all these years. that Minnesota did not
receive q profit from; according to
the system, a legitimate one).
Shame be 1t, that any man in this
state should oppose the terminal
elevator" But when a citizen of your
county was opposing same, in debate
with Mr.. LOTUS in our city, he, Mr..
TwichelI, admitted that the chamber
of commerce Of Minneapolis" derived
a profit of 20 cents q bushel for all
wheat shipped from our state. (See
his admission in The Forum recording
the debate.)
Twenty cents bushel on an aver
age crop of wheat, would be $16,000,-
900. This enormous sum annually has
made Minneapolis the great city of
the northwest. And now. the only re-
lief that some of our would-be citi-
zens would give us. is a. transfer Of
this great. sum from Minneapolis to
st. Paul.
The half has not vet been told.
Scarcely q ton of coal that Is burnt in
our state. but what Minnesota gets q
profit from. And 10 and behold not

Subscriptions of Hawaii to the Lib

banks of Honolulu and those made by
Hawaiian interests on the mainland
were $4,N57 $50, according to tho best
figures obtainable last night. 1t was
possible, it was said, that they would
run higher by reason of further main.
land subscriptions by people and inter
ests from the Territory, made on the
mainland and not thus far reported
here. In making the estimate these
were figured ut 81 l,225,000. Subscrip-
tons through banks in the other islands
are included in the figures furnished by
the Honolulu banks.
While applications for Liberty Loan
bonds do not close at Washington until

tions had to be in the reserve bank at
