Editorial Comment
Williston Builds
,Minot Daily News

NVllIIOJ 00lly NOW0I
WilNston is deserving Of praise for the civic initiative
this year In the program Of more than
100000 Of building which will continue with great i'm
petus in 1880.
The winiston Herald. in its last issue, pays tribute to
the cltyS progress by issuance OF q section devoted to
telling Of this years building program and plans for 1880.
l. is a we'll assembled. interesting edition that will do
much to advertise the well-known city.
Already. more than a half million dollars of improve
ments arc projected at Wuliston for the coming year.
high school building; and q new $4,000 power plant for
the Montana Dakota Power company.
Williston's growth Is certain to be permanent and SUBJ
stantial. Its geographical location has a lot to do with
this. 1t has an opportunity to serve q large and rich
territory.
Important also in the development of the city is the
assured permanent supply Of water. Many other cities
In the state now are confronted with the serious prob
lem OF water supply. The Missouri river. while it some-
times wanders. is always certain to be easily accessible
to Williston. and the question Of = water supply will
never be a serious ono to that city.
The Wiliston Herald. in its edition, has this to say
concerning the city's progress:
The season Of 1929 has furnished an entirely new in
depreciation OF the slogan. .Wiliston Will It was coined
to illustrate the united efforts Of its citizens to secure
those rights and advantages which Wiliston was entitled
to as ono Of the key cities OF North Dakota. Their team
work bore fruit IN a material way beyond their expecta.
lions.
This unity OF effort has borne fruit in a more
significant way by producing a better community spirit
and a much more efficient commercial organization, with
a full time secretary to assist in handling the increasing
problems of this growing city.
Not only has the spirit Of cooperation received a grea:
impetus within the city. but the spirit has extended into
the rural districts. and the result has been a much better
understanding between city folks and country jewellers
II can therefore be said that the splendid slogan. Will

Ontario Is Satisfied

Ontario, quite evidently. is pretty we'll satisfied with
the way its liquor law Is working.
II is hard 10 see how the results Of the recent election
can be interpreted in any way except as an indorse-
ment OF the existing policy. The party that advocated
4 return to strict prohibition was showed under-almost
put out OF existence. as far as representation in par
lament is concerned. Another party, which pledged
itself to hold a provincial referendum on the matter
also took a bad beating. The Conservatives. upholdihe
the present law. won the greatest victory in their history
1t is hard for citizens Of the United States to tell jus,
how the Ontario law Is working. Reports that come back
arc apt to be colored by the bias Of the investigator
But it seems rather evident that Ontario is pretty well
satisfied.
