have been charting the state patron

They find job pledging and elimina-

TO keep Nestos put end the road open
for the Hanna limited. There must
be no broken rails and the block must
always be set against Shafer or
Christensen.
These are few of the rough
places to be made smooth. 1t is just
possible that the Devils Lake con-

it is, North Dakota politics will enter

A survey Of league county conven-

Quarter Of Century
Sees Auto Replacing
Horses For Travel

In one short quarter of century
the automobile has practically obse-
letcd the horse as a mode of personal
TRANSPORTATION. A reproduction of, An
Oldsmobile advertisement of 1901 de-
picts the early fight between these
two manners of travel. Its contrast
with 1926 conditions shows at a
glance the wonderful progress of au-
tomotive industry in a short span of
years.
What was said of the Oldsmobile
in 1901 is being said in other words
of the present day luxurious, COM
Portable and easily operated automo-
biles. Measured by the standards Of
their days, both were equally at
tractivc to the person bent on pur-
chasing individual and flexible trans
portat;on.
The old advertisepent called at
tention to the Oldsmobile exhibit at
the New York Automobile Show. This

tied at hundreds Of shows, but far

Number Of Tractors
Greatly Increased
in 5-year Period

There were 4,477 more tractors on
North Dakota farms in 1925 than
there were 1920. according to figures
compiled by the department Of COM
mcrcc ut Washington from. the 1876
farm census reports and released FOR
publication today. The number Of
tractors reported on farms in the
state in 1925 is l7,lS3. as compared
with 1906 in 1920.
A unique feature Of the report is
that in 1865 there were 1920 radio
outfits on North Dakota farms. Al
though no comparison is possible
with 1920 in this report, it is con-
.sidercd probable that there were
4,720 more radios on farms in 1926
than five years previous as it is un-

Second: There is feeling that
the Hanna organization is seeking to
subordinate everything for the SEN
atorship and are searching out trad
ing ground in every baiiiwik of the
state to make votes for Hanna. One
leading Independent was quite in
dgnant the other day and declared
right out in open meeting that he
did not give dash hang who went
to the United States senate, but he
was vitality interested in state affairs.
Third: Many Republicans are

want both Hanna and Nestos elimin-
ated and declare that victory could
be had in combination of Justice
Christensen for United States sena-
tor, and George Shafer for governor
with John Thorpe successor to Shafer
as attorney general. Many politicians
declare that this would be a pat

not work up any enthusiasm for

Last Friday, just as the paper was going to press, the news came that a thirteen pound boy had arrived at the home of Earl Dinner. The linotype was so startled as a re- cord of such weight that it refused tc work any more that day so the raper was not able to publish the glad tidings in full.
 The young man has been named James Lewis, and Earl asserts that he will soon be able to go out shrimping. We are willing to bet that Earl used his shrimp scales in stead of the regular medical scales. to weigh the new Commodore of the shrimp fleet.

IMPROVE PLANT

Portlock, in 1919, was selected by a group of halibut boat owners, as an ideal location for fishing, packing and shipping. This, after much investigation had been car ried on. The result was an organi- zation was formed called the Alas ka Sea Products Association, with a capital stick of $25O,OOO. The stock was sold to boat owners and fishermen in Alaska and Washing ton, some 1,200 stockholders being iG the company.
 The management then purchased the sawmill property operates by the port Chatham Lumber company which was mergea into the new as- scciation. Construction of the plant at Portlock was completed the following year, in 1920. The construction called for a cold stor- age paint with daily freezing ca pacity of 30,O0O pounds of fish, and manufacturing 15 tons of ice; dock, machine shop, store as we'll as other buildings representing in value more than $2OO,OOO. The plant was complete and ready for operation by fishing season.
