farmers' elevator companies through

some plan of unifying the interests of
the elevators, principally in having a
representative, say at Duluth and Min
neapolis, who shall supervise the grad
ing and selling of shipments sent to
those points and watch the general in
terests of the owners of the elevators.
A good many suggestions have been

DEVELOPMENTS OF N. P,v
Minneapolis Journal: President J. J.
Hill of the Great Northern delivered
an interesting address on irrigation be
fore the North Dakota irrigation conven
tion at Bismarck yesterday, and it was
none the less interesting because it was
three-fourths about the Great Northern
and one-fourth about irrigation.
Mr. Hill's statement of the revenue
the road derives from various sta
tions in North Dakota is amazing,
$S95»ooo of revenue to the Great North
ern in one year, and Neche $334,000, and
such obscure places as Inkster, Edin
burgh and Milton paying the Great
Northern from $50,000 to $100,000 a
year, with a long list of towns of from
1.000 to 1,500 people' paying more than
$100,000 and some of them doubling
their business within four years.
is the statement that the most profitable
passenger business on some 6,000 miles
of railway line is that between Grand
Forks and Minot in North Dakota. The
local passenger train on that division,
Mr. Hill says, carries more people and
earns more money than any other pas
senger train on the Great Northern
lines.
Mr. Hill's statistics indicate that
North Dakota has enjoyed an immense
growth in the last few years probably
a much larger growth than the people
have realized. The railway revenues
could not have grown as they have un
less the people of North Dakota were
both richer and more numerous than
formerly.

WOMEN AS PHOTOORAPHERS.
New York Sufi: Several men vid
wpmen were talking about woman's
work and the possibilities of her suc
cess in the professions, when a man
who had evidently given some thought
to the subject took the floor and made
the following remarks, which may be
helpfully suggestive to capable women
who have not entered upon their ap
propriate careers:
"No finer opportunity
s presented
for profession­
al success is presented to women, es
pecially to young women," he said,
"than may be found in the practically
unoccupied field of photography* This
is at once an art, a profession and a
business, and young women who mi&ht
hesitate at law or medicine, or would
decline to sell groceries or real estate,
or would be unequal to a career in art,
jas the term generally understood, can
find in photography a combination
which answers all their requirements,
and removes all doubt as to the pro
priety of women in the professions.
"Possibly in the largest cities the op
portunity is less than in smaller com
munities because in these cities higher
standards are demanded, more money
is reuired and competition is greater.
But in the lesser cities and the towns
the field is almost entirely unoccupied
by women, particularly in the towns of
from 10,000 population down. I know
personally dozens of the smaller towns
in which there are no women photo
graphers, and, in fact, cannot ijow re
call one in which there is-a woman
photographer. I know of one iown of
7,000 people where three years ago
there were two photographers, both
men, and their 'galleries' were of the
kind usually found in such towns. There
were several capable women in the
town who had asked suggestions from
me as to what they might do for the
improvement of their material condi
tion, and I suggested to two of them
that they buy out these 'galleries' and
open one which would be a credit to
the town and to themselves. They
simply looked at me in surprise, and
said they had never heard of such a
thing as a woman photographer and
could not think of doing such work.
Within a year an enterprising man
came along, bought out the 'galleries,'
opened fairly good one, not anything
like such a one as- the women could
have had, and since that time made
money right along.
"In some of the lkrger cities women
photographers have taken positions in
the very forefront of the profession, but
they have not done there what rs pos
sible in the small towns. Let us sup
pose that two young women of the
same town, of good social position and
acquaintance, of good taste and of artis
tic sense, which most women possess
by nature, of agreeable manners, of in
dustrious habits and of fair business
ability—suppose'two such young worn
-en determined to open a studio in such
a town, having already prepared them
selves by a year of study and reading
and practice as amateur photographers.
They would select quarters on the
ground floor—the average town 'pho
tograph galley' being up a dark and
narrow stairway—in a quiet street near
the business center, with ample acom
modations and all the latest appliances
for their work a reception room artis
tically fitted and furnished with books,
pictures, etc., for the comfort and con
venience of customers, nice dressing
rooms and other surroundings as un
shoplike as possible. To such quarters
the best people of the town would re
sort, and when a plain woman from the
country came in she would find about
her object lessons that would benefit
her in her ownhousehold appointments,
and when she wanted her 'picture tak
en' she would not be posed in the con
scious manner which generally prevails
in rural localities but the deft hand of
the well-dressed young photographer
would change her inartistic and unbe
coming aftire into something more at
tractive—this ribbon and that, bow, this
lace and that pin, would be properly ar
ranged: her hair would be given a new
form her hands would be kept their
distance from the lens her pose before
the camera would be tpade easy and
natural, even graceful, perhaps, and
when the photograph came finished to
her view she would discover a charm
and delight in herself whose existence
she had never suspected. So, too,
would her family and her friends, men"
women and chilldren, and her would be
a 'speaking likeness' indeed—speaking
such words of praise for those who had
wrought the miracle that they would
be visited by many others wishing to
be so transformed. It nflght not be a
very superior photograph, either, judg
ed.by the high, art standard of the city,
but it would be so much better than
anything else ever produce^-in tbe town
that it would be, comparatively, a tnor^
successful piece of. wdrk than the city
photograph for a more critical subject-
It is in this respect that the good pho1
tographer. without being at all a great
photographer, can reap material sup
cess in the smaller places which are at
present so poorly provided with phqr
tographic studios which mean anything
more than mere shops where one may
have a likeness made."
