BO~ker and Mcdonald Buy Montana
Hotel

y. W.. BoWker, city commissioner
of Minot and Geo. Mcdonald, formerly
chief Of police of this city, recently
purchased thirty room hotel at Cas-
cade Montana and Mr.. Mcdonald is
now in charge of the business. MIR.
Bowker returned from there recently
and for the present at least will not
leave Minot. The rumor in cireula-
ton recently to the effect that Mr..
Bowker had resigned as city commits
sioner was erroneous. He has ex-
tensive business interests in Minot and
vicinity, owning the Bowker block, a
number of houses which he is renting
besides extensive farming interests,
which demand his attention here.
Cascade is located in the foothills
of the Rockies on the main line be-
tween Great Falls and Helena and is
a very thriving city. Messrs. Bowker
and Mcdonald are doing a fine bust
ness with their hotel.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The most successful business are those who
discount tendencies before they actually develop.
Less sagacious people always getting caught with
big stocks bought at high prices. They also lose
result of too much pessimism in dun times by failing
to get ready for the opportunities by bust
ness revival 49,
1t is noteworthy that good trade journals take a
hopeful view of present conditions These publica-
tons have special facilities for forecastng the bust
ness future
About year ago, the Dry Goods Merchants
Trade Journal, for instance, telling merchants
that they should get ready for trouble Then things
were the top of the wave Many pepole were
predicting that prices would go higher But this
stuff, to watch credits to collect accounts and get
their money in the bank ready for the coming
depression.
This prediction proved correct, and many
chants wished they had been governed by it. Some
of them equally need to be governed by pre-
dictions of better times. The trade paper referred
to, has recently told its readers that have
the worst of the depression, and that the merchant
who will be successful in the coming period is the
man man who prepares for better business in the
fall.
S. w. Reyburn, president of the Associated Dry
Goods Corporation says that dry goods business in
the cities with which he is familiar, is good, in most
cases ahead of last year. There is still surplus of
goods but it is being consumed. When consump-
ton catches up a little more, there must inevitably
be very considerable revival
Says the Dry Goods Merchants Trade Journal:
1.-THE merchant who improves his store and who
resumes his advertising on a bigger broader better
basis than before is the merchant who is going
to secure the cream of the business this fall, and
make the real money!

A CITY IN SPIRIT.

Some cities, made large by geographical location
or adjacent natural resources STILL villages in
spirit They sleep on basking in the sunlight of a
prosperity which they did not create. st. Louis is
a illustration.
Other cities cities in spirit while they were
yet villages. But they grew to match the spirit This
in response to natural law. The body grows to re-
fleet the spirit within. Kansas City affords an
example.
Had St Louis had the Kansas City spirit the
latter city know it today, never would have
existed
1t is easy for every to be prosperous in a
live, growing city. 1t is difficult for the wsest
well in dead town. The greatest factor in personal
business success is to make your home town thrive
This requires time, energy and cooperation But it
pays in dollars and cents and in satisfaction.
To be "a city in spirit" as Sidney We'll said
Thursday night is the prerequisite to becoming a
city in fact To have the spirit of a city means that
the spirit of push, enegy cooperation and supreme
confidence in the future, has taken hold upon the
people of the community.
Albuquerque can be what her people will to make
her Live men and III a community attract
live people to them, Everybody passes up spritless
town
Lend your spirit and your help to your commu-
nifty. Thus you win best yourself,

y NOT REASSURING.

The character OF the Federal appointments thus
far made, is not reassuring TO the Journal
generally known list of likely appointees any i'm
provement in quality.
The journal does not know at this time who
is responsible for these appointments, although we
could make fairly accurate guess. But we are
not interested in the fractional strife within the re-
publican party to control appointments. We have
no hankering after the flesh pots" do not seek
in the slightest degree to participate in their dsri-
button.
In the appointments thus far made the public
has not been considered In at least one instance
the previously bad record for integrity of the man
appointed, has been ignored. In other instances
the ability to perform service for the public has
not been factor in reaching decision. Rebuilding
broken machine has been the only apparent consid-
GRAFTON.
The Journal has a vital interest in the welfare
of the republican party. 1t would please us to see
that party so conduct itself in New Mexico as to be
permanently entitled to the control OF the state.
However the ability and willingness to serve the
public is the only ground upon which it can be
justified in Seeking this responsibility
We fear that there has been an entire forget
fitness Of the public interest in making selections for
office. viii this go on to the point of a public
scandal?
If this state is turned over to the democratic
party it will be because the republican party has for
feited its right to public confidence.
The journal conceives its first duty to be to the
people. If, with due regard to the public interest
we are permitted to support the republican party
in this state will rejoice. If it becomes necessary
for the common good, to again support the demo-
cratic party, we will do So
The influences which controlling the Federal
appointments in New Mexico, perhaps indiffer-
ent to the attitude of the Journal are they in
different to the public demand for decency and high
er ideals in politics, awake in this state?
The people have suddenly become factor in
New Mexico. This may be bewidering to the machine
politician of the old achool but he would do well to
give heed to it if he expects to survive the change
in conditions which is now in the air
Public sentiment made itself felt in the best legis-

A BLIZZARD.
CHAPTER LXXXuI.

CHAPTER IXXXIII.
All night it had showed steadily.
When Tom left for the office the
big swirling flakes were still COM
ing down, softly, steadily. But by
ten o'clock the wind had risen and
the blizzard had started. Peggy and
| went to market, and it was all we
could do to get home. The snow
had drifted so that even at that
time we could scarcely struggle
through the piled up drifts in the
street.
During the afternoon it gradu-
ally increased in violence until we
began to wonder how Tom was to
get home. He had three long blocks
to walk after leaving the subway,
and the wind in his face all the
way. About four o'clock | tried to
reach him on the telephone, but
the wires were all down, and |
could get no answer. Peggy and l
stood by the window watching, Oc-
casionally NOrah joined us, aWed
and frightened by the force of the
storm. Six o'clock came and she
left to attend to the dinner.
Sure it will be all burned up, If
| stand here any lOnger!" she
grumbled, loath to leave.
DO light up" Peggy eXclaim-
ed. This storm is getting on my
nerves. l thought we had storms
out home, but | never saw any
thing like this"
l really was beginning to be
frightened. Even after we turned
on the lights | kept going to the
window, and, holding my hands
around my face to shut out the
light, | watched for Tom.
Helpless Fright.
When seven o'clock came ana
we had heard nothing from Tom,
we went out to dinner, more to
stop Ndrah's grumbling, than be-
cause we were hungry. The storm
rad steadily increased in violence
until \the drifts were piled up in
spots as high as a person, and the
wind blowing the swirling snow
made it impossible to see across the
street, while the street lights look
ed like Tightening bugs through a
mist.
| couldn't eat, neither could I sit
still. Back and forth | went Ct" m
the dining room to the living room
window which fronted the street;
the only ones in the apartment
from which l could watch for
Tom.
Finally rang for the elevator and
went down to the door. Severa! 9TH
er women, Helen among them,
were in the hall, all nervouslv talk
ing, and questioning the hall boy,
who knew as little as they did.
"Oh. Helenn | exclaimed, isn't
it awful? How do you suppose
they'll ever get home?"
II think they'll be along soon

THE PACKING HOUSE SETTLEMENT.

The growing sentiment among both employers
and employees, that the public is party industrial
disputes is encouraging. Time was, not long ago,
that the public was-ignored while the employer and
the employe quarreed. Often the public suffered
most.
Both the packers and the employees made con-
cessions in the public interest and the matter
settled for the time, at least.
The employees won the question of the eight
hour day, they should. They accepted a wage re-
duction which would seem TO be necessary in q pc
rod of recession. The principle of umpire to
settle disputes received recognition.
Both parties to the controversy are to be con-
graduated upon their good sense
Secretaries Davis, Hoover and Wallace deserve
the thanks of the public for their skill in quietly
bringing order out of promised chaos.
The power of public opinion has once more DEM
onstrated itself. 1t is libertys greatest weapon

THE JOYS THAT GOT AWAY.

This life is like fishin trip,
Or so it seems to me;
Beside a stream we sit and dream e.
And hope, for joys to be,
OF varying sizes the fish
We've caught at close of day.
But though their meat good to eat,
The best ones got away!
A goodly string of fish I've caught :,
To more than fill the pan,
But always l have passed them by
Just like my fellow man .,... ..e
And overlooked the meal they meant, s ..
This sorry line to say:
81 should be glad if but had
The ones that got away
I've caught full many a JOY in life,
My string Of smiles is long,
I've had my share of weather fair
And happiness and song.
The years have kindly dealt with me
And oft have let me play,
But still I've thought should have caught
The joy that got away.
Teach me to value what win,
Nor sigh for what miss,
And let me smile and count worth while
My present store of bliss; .....'
AT last when homeward / shall turn
And lifeless lies my clay,
I'd not deplore or gamble DER sa
The joys that got away.

DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW.

New York, March 25.-Dun's to-
morrow will say:
After practically year of liqui-
dalton and deflation new forces
are now making for gradual bust
ness recuperation. Recovery has
not yet extended to all lines, but
encouraging indications are in
creasing in number. Although
some of the hopeful signs partly
result from the influence of special
demands such as the Easter re-
quirements, the favorable features
are also beginning to assume char
acteristics of permanency.
The rapid crop advancement, the
relaxation from monetary tension
and the greater stability of finan-
cial markets promote a better feel
ing, while the trend toward re-
sumption of building activity is a
significant development, Reflect
ing the latter movement. buying of
steel has gained a little and the
lumber industry. especially in the
Pacific northwest. is experiencing
some revival.

REDUCING INFANT MORTALITY.

In Utica, N. Y, in 1911 the number of babies that
died during their first year, 1853 per J. OOO To
some OF these wasted human resources, pure
milk and health station established. This work
has expanded, and physicians and nurses being EN-
ployed until the city appropriates Sc 600 for this
service, and equal amount is raised by subscrip
ton AS result the mortality of Utica infants during
their first year. has been reduced from 15S per 600
TO 70 per !, 600
The foregoing is a fine example of progressive
community work. Infant mortality could be reduced
in places by systematic effort to instruct such
mothers as do not understand sanitation and by
giene and preparation for maternity.
