Henry Clews & Co. report that
despondency is gradually disappearing
in Wall Street and a more confident
tone is .taking its place. It is thought
that forced liquidation is over and that
stock values are as low, or lower, than
intrinsic conditions warrant. That
ought to be very good news to the
general business world. Over $2,oco,
coo,ooo of fictitious value in stoqks has
been wiped out in the past year,, but in
real values the country has not gone
backward,- but on the contrary has
made substantial gains, as is demon
strated by the constant increase in
railroad earnings,, the healthy real es
tate market and the bountiful crops,
which have added billions of dollars to
the wealth of the country. Notwith
standing the evidences qf general pros
perity'it rhnst be admitted that the de
plorable conditions in Wall Street
have acted as a sort of damper on
busines's but the result /has been
beneficial.-- The conservative spirit
that has thereby been engendered has
doubtless prevented grfcfttjer reaction
and what might have been financial dis
aster. That Wall Street values could
go so low and then recover -without
widespread disaster is a matter for gen
eral gratulation. Up to Oct. 31 gross
railroad earnings for 19Q3 showed an
increase of $66,000,000, or about it per
cent over last year, and with the good
crops it is almost certain there, will
be no diminution, of traffic for the win
ter at least, though the steel, building
and other trades arc an adverse factor.
While bank clearings decreased 30 per
cent in New York last week in the
western states the increase was 12 per
cent. There are indications that the
steel trade is picking up and lower
prices are expected to result in .increas
ed orders. Exports from the United
States last month were over $i6jcco,
000. a gain of $I6,ooo,oco over October
of a year ago, and imports shovjred a
loss of $2,000,000 for the month. The
general business situation appear^ sat
isfactory. 'f.
e doejs1? pot ^seefli
to be a matter of mueh concern in
Fargo this fall. Contrasted with a
year ago the city is fortunate. Then
the matter of securing coal or wood
was uppermost in the minds of many.
Price was not the primary considera
tion. It was anything to provide suf
ficient heat. Coal was a true king in
the winter of 1902. Now, while there
is a good demand for all kinds of coal
there is little inconvenience in secur
ing it at reasonable prices. Perhaps
the difference between prices a year
ago and now, is responsible for the ap
parent satisfaction with present Condi
tions. Much more anthracite coal is
being sold in the markets, as a matter
of course, but lignite vyon many friends
last year and the North Dakota fuel
is more firmly established tfyan ever.
Last year people of North Dakota
were fortunate in having mild weather
most of November and part of Decem
ber. It has been colder this year but
the improvement of the fuel situation
has offset that. With fairly good har
vests and plenty of fuel North Dako
tans are ready for whateVer /kind oI
winter Comes.

too large to be advantageously expend
ed within the state and the time seems
ripe for inaugurating this great irriga
tion work, which is bound to add
many millions of dollars to the valua
tion of farming lands and provide
homes for thousands of peopl. A val
iant and enthusiastic supporters of the
expenditure of irrigation funds where
raised is George H. Maxwell, execu
tive chairipan of the National Irriga
tion Congress,, whose influence will ^0

It is to the interest of all the people
of the state that North Dakota gain
this important point, which iavsira'$y
justice.'
***Tbe local business situation indi
cates that prosperity continues in
North Dakota and there is every
reason to expect an unusually
good holiday trade. Wholesale and re
tail firms have been and are preparing
for an expansion of business such as
the growth of the state during the
past year and the returns from the
crops seem to warraut. There is a
general feeling of confidence that is
most gratifying and the manner in
which merchants arc going after busi
ness and the promptness with whiqh
the public responds speak well for the
solidity of trade. It is the optimism
of conscious prosperity. The crops
have been good ao^, prices have in
creased. Why sfiQpidja't business be
improving?' .i 1.

IN BAD SHAPE.
Carjiio News: An old man who ha^
been working around Carpio this fall,
succeeded 'in taking enough bf his own
medicine this week to paralyze him and
his bosom friends left him to the expos
ure of the elements and the results are.j,
Two frozen hands about fit for ampu
tation, ears about twice their normal
size and other injuries. A summons for
medical aid revailed a nefarious business
but the dilapidated piece of humnaily
could not testify against his heartless as
sociates for fear of being implicated him
self and there you are. A Search of the
premises revealed two or three, bottles
full and about, seventy-five empties, but
that wasn't evidence enough to convict
them and two go free. The third was
bound over under $500 bonds which ht
tailed to secure and went to Minot

This meatis that oVie-quarter of one ol
its principal business''blocks "is to be
covered with a substantial fire prool
building that will be made thoroughly
modern in all respects. The building
will be constructed jointly by Hon.
Philip Blank, Otto Brothers and the
First National Bank, and will be used
for bank, store and hotel purposes.
New Salem is one of the busiest
towns on the line and the merchant?
and business men are wide awake and
en'terprising. It is the headquarters
for the creamery industry of Mortoi
County, from which source there is dis
tributed among patrons about $100,00c
annually. Besides its creameries it has
a large flouring mill that is kept busy
the year round filling orders for its
products, and the farmers of the, sur
rounding country supply the necessary
grain, for the town is surrounded with
a rich agricultural country.
I The town is putting in a waterworks
system for the purpose* of providing
fire protection. It is the direct pres
sure system, and is nearly completed.

"Yes," said Commissioner Brown,
who was in the city last vreek assist
ing in "waking temporary ^ou'rt house
arrangements, 'wil(l^eesii :^ave a won
derful instinct for diro$te&U<I was out
in a lot on my farm a short time ago
and the weather \yas very cloudy. I
was not sure of my bearings' despite
the fact that I had tramped the same
ground hundreds of times.
"While I was pondering over my di
lemma fl flock of wild geese flew over.
They were high and most certainly
flying south. It struck me as strange
that man with all his scientific schemes
for ascertaining directions under ordi
nary conditions, should be baffled,
while a wild goose never mistakes the
way.
"But the birds are not altogether as
wise about some things as they might
be. They follow their leader like a
flock of sheep. Over in Ireland some
geese were flying over a farm yard
and the rtwner shot the leader. The
others followed the dead leader to the
ground, and the man picked it up and
carried it into the barn, the others in
the flock followed close behind. After
all the geese iwere inside the: farmer
shut the door-''and he had' the'entire
flock at his mercy."
v
Four hunters ^retumfed froim the up
north country a few days ago, tired,
footsore* wq^ry and penniless, as a re
sult of poor nrarkmanship'and poorer
eyesight. They brought no g&rae with
them and were "flat broke."
It is said that they werd*'.Waving a
fine time shooting, although they had
bagged no game.. Spying what a mem
ber of the party took for a deer they
hastily cast lots to see who would have
the first shot. The deer was standing
in a clearing near a tree, appearently
waiting to be killed. The lucky man
drew up and blazed away and the ani
inal dropped. All ran up to see just
where it was hit and found a young
calf kicking in its last kicks, and it Vtas
tied to the tree, at that.
With no desire to make, the matter
public the quartet was stealing its way
softly out of the vicinity when the own
er of the calf confronted them, ft was
easy to see that lie was in an angry
mood. And, since it was evident that
the hunters had strayed 011 to a pri
vate plot of ground in their excite
ment, .it took no great reasoning for
them to see that they were in for it
lor trespass.
The owner said the calf was a full
blooded Jersey, and demanded $47.50
in settlement. If not paid at once he
threatened to swear out warrants for
the crowd for trespass and sue them
afterwards for the value of the calf.
They paid.
"I will never forget my first hunt,"
said a Fargo man, yesterday. "I was
spending a few days at a lumber camp
in northern Minnesota and had been
told that deer were very plentiful not
ar from the camp. When the season
opened I pledged the men at the camp
chat I would get some venison for a
Sunday dinner.
"I borrowed a repeating j-ifle from,
-lie foreman of the camp'and after:
walking a short distance on a fine Sat
lrday morning came onto a trail. I
ol lowed it for some time and my
search was rewarded with the sight of
1 big buck standing net far away. No,
1. didn't get the 'buck ague' but cooly
planted myself behind a tree and com
nenced to fire. The first shot I was
certain had struck home. Still the buck
emaincd. motionless and although
hiuking it somewhat strange 1 fired
-gain with the same result, the buck
'ever even stirring from its tracks. I
nally emptied the contents of the
nagazine in the animal and was as,
nuch astonished as ever. I heard
suppressed snicker and then tumbled,
walked up to the buck and found \V
lead as a door nail and frozen stiff.
Roars of laughter came from behind
1 thicket nearby and several of the
:amp men made their appearance. The
uck had been killed a few days before
nd 'planted' for me and it todk tne
juite awhile to square myself."
THE INDIVIDUAL DRINKING CUP
s nowadays looked upon by most peo
le as a necessity, and it has become
luite the correct thing among men,
women and children, alike, to be equip
»ed with one of these sanitary articles*
The collapsable ones in neat leather^
:ases are the most convenient ones to
:arry in the purse or pocket, but drink*
,ng from thin*glass affairs is by far the
nore satisfactory if filled with goldeii
grain belt beer, the purest, most nour
ishing and mo^t refreshing beverage."'
