PAGE FOUK WEEKLY TIMES-RECORD VALLEY CITY, NORTH DAKOTA P. R. TRUBSHAW Subscription, $2.00 a Year, in Advance Official Paper of Barnes County Entered at the Postoffice in Valley City, North Dakota, as second class man matter. Speaking about needed improve ments one has only to take a trip to the high line to discover that there is not a worse piece of road in the whole world according to the views of the traveling public who have to use it to reach the X. P. trains up there. This is a much needed improvement that the city should take cognizance of and get to it and have it put in at least a passable condition. We should pay attention to this outlying district once in awhile as the impression such things creates to those who are visit ing the city is not one of the best. Let's be reasonable and get this bad piece of road fixed. TR:XK IN INTEREST—SAVE While government ownership is be ing held up to the voters of the coun try in such alluring terms by those who favor this kind of a proposition, it would be well for the calm thinking tax payer to view the results as they really are where we have tried out government ownership. For instance take the postoffice department, the railroads, telegraph and telephone lines. They have all been a great fail ure and have cost the government bil lions of dollars. The result of gov ernment ownership in the United States has been a dismal failure. This may be due to mismanagement but whatever it is it will not appeal to the people generally. We have poorer service, no competition and a general "don't care a whoop policy." THINK IN INTESE5T—SAVE The newspaper boys of the state will regret to hear that A. L. West ernhagen, of the Western Newspaper Union, of Fargo, is to move to Minne apolis, where he is to take over the management of the business there, the vacancy being made by the death of Frank Meyst. one of the best fellows 1 who ever lived. This is a promotion for Mr. Westernhagen, however, and aside from the fact that we dislike to have him move from Fargo, he is en titled to the congratulations of his friends on the deserved promotion, the editor of this paper hereby extends his. "Bert" is a royal good fellow and we have enjoyed doing business with him. We can still keep in touch with the old scout at Minneapolis. May his shadow never grow less is our wish.
