0LJ)ENY OPPORTUNITY.
The building of a wood working
plant in this city emphasizes the con
tention of The Evening Times that
this line of industries would be paying
propositions in this city.
In the considerations of manufac
turing enterprises, one feature must
be borne in mind. For local trade
that will but succeed which is bulky
and heavy for transportation, and for
the foreign, or distant trade, that
which is light and compact.
It is a reasonable proposition that
no dealer will ship heavy wooden
products from the great manufactur
ing cities of Michigan and Ohio if he
could get them a thousand miles near
er home at the same cost of manufac
turing. The dealers in this state will
hardly pay the freight on stock from
Detroit when they can get it from the
inill which has located in this city at
the same price and for less freight.
Then it would seem that if the fin
ished product could be prepared from
for the same that It can elsewhere,
this would be a good point for the
location of manufactories.
This city is nearer the present tim
ber sources of Minnesota than any
other city extensively engaged in the
I manufacturing of lumber products. It
has largely the advantage of water
transportation from the timber region
l| to the city—the cheapest transporta
tion in the world, and on which there
has never been it merger since the
time of Noah.
pi a a
^terial to the factory is one of the'large
items that enters into the cost of the
.. finished product.
This city is nearer the raw ma
terlal supply and has the means of
t, cheaper transportation than any other
city now having wood manufacturing

Subscribers desiring address changed must send former address as well as new one

This is the great draw back so far
in this city, but it must be remembered
that skilled labor seeks work in its
particular line, and once the enter
prise is established, the help will
come.
But the cost of the labor will still
depend largely on the cost of living.
If fuel and food and clothing are more
expensive than they are under the
same conditions elsewhere then the
cost of production is more and the
finished product will have more trou
ble to maintain a foothold in a com
petitive market.
With all the stories to the contrary,
the cost of living in this country is not
greater than in any place outside the
south where food grows spontaneous
ly, where houses need be nothing
more than good shades, and where
clothing is a matter of modesty rather
than of comfort. But under these latter
conditions life takes on that sluggish,
indolent characteristic that is fatal to
fill industrial enterprise, and the ex
cessive lieat is far more of a money
loser to the employer of labor than is
the excessive cold. There can be pro
tection from the latter but none is
possible from the former.
in a climate devoid of humidity
there is far less need of protection
than in one with a lower thermometer
but with more moisture. People in
tliis latitude need only protection from
the cold. Elsewhere they need it from
both cold and moisture. The damp
ness is so injurious to leather that the
cost in shoes is a matter of comment
by those who come from such cli
mates. Fuel costs but little more, be
cause the dryness of the atmosphere
does not cause it to penetrate the
houses as does that which is ladened
with moisture. The food supply need
be no greater because much of the
substantiates of life can be grown in
limitless quantities at our very doors.
Under these conditions it would
seem that manufacturing can be done
cheaper here than in almost any other
place.
If it can, there should be factories
for other lines, not to compete with
those already here, but in different
classes.
Grand Forks can become a great
wood manufacturing city if it improves
the opportunities it now has.
UNIVERSITY TRAFFIC.
The battle with the elements which
the street car company has been com
pelled to wage during the last few
weeks, has caused some serious dis
cussion of the imparative demand for
quick and reliable communication be
tween the city and the University.
It is conceded that a mistake was
made in locating the institution so far
from the central part of the city. But
now that it is done, there can be but
one course, and that is to adjust cir
cumstances to the conditions.
The city does not, desire to prosper
from the institution which has its
home in our midst. Neither would the
citizens permit the excessive taxation
of the students by the business inter
ests, even if the latter could do so,
which is absurd.
But there is a certain amount of
legitimate business that the city is en
titled to, and which it can only main
tain by means of quick communication.
There are approximately seven hun
dred students at the institution, and
with the faculty and theic. families
probably a hundred more. These peo
ple must be fed.
The time when students lived on a
glass of water, a loaf of back-num
bered bread and a vivid imagination
are .things of the past. They do not,
as a rule, have a Belshazzaran feast
every day in the week, but they live on
good, healthy, substantial food in
abundance.
It is safe to estimate the living ex
penses of the average University resi
dent at fifty cents per day, so that
the daily trade of that institution is
worth four hundred dollars to' the
business' men of the city. Twelve
thousand dollars a month, or more
than one hundred thousand dollars
during the scholar}stic year, came
from that one source into the business
channels of the city.
With the enormous increase in at
tendance which is certain to come in
the near future, the needs will be
1
N
more.
Now, what effect will a rapid com
munication betwfeen the city proper
pnd tge University have upon the busi
ness Interests of the city As It now
is, the University^forms a community
by itself. It there is not some means
of reacljjng the clty, business enter-
vwm
prisees will locate where they will be
accessible to the University trade.
This would of course build up the
city, but it would be to the lasting
"injury of the men who are now per
manently located in the business part
of the city, and who have built sub
stantial business blocks which they
cannot afford to abandon.
But If a street car line could be suc
cessfully operated between the two,
the distance would be insignificant,
and the trade would retfiain where '.t
belongs—In the business part of the
city.
This done, another scheme would be
assured, which was the reason for the
location of the University where it
now is. It has always been contended,
and with considerable weight, that an
educational institutional should be re
moved from the business locations, so
that the students would'be surrounded
only by that which is educational and
which tends to keep the mind directly
upon the work of the class room. True
it is contended that this method has
made the average student bookish and
to some extent cramped his ability to
grasp every day problems and, worse
yet, has inculcated in him an aversion
for that which is not of the learned
professions.
But when all these are weighed :'t
will be found that they do not enter
into the merits of the present condi
tions here, and that the only thing is
to provide some means by which the
University and the city can be put in
easy touch.
Hundreds of students would board
and room in the city, than now do, were
they certain they could get to and
from the University without a two-mile
tramp over the prairie.
This would not injure'lhe resources
of (he institution, as the states makes
nothing on the dormitory scheme, it
being merely for the accommodation
of the students who have no other
place to live.
The University has become too im
portant to be cut out of the considera
tions of the city, and something must
be done that will permanently relieve
the conditions that have existed dur
ing the last few weeks, and against
which the transit company has fought
so heroically.
'I'll E PUBLISHERS' GRAFT.
Until the beneficiaries of the pub
lishers' graft begin to make a few con
tributions to the conscience fund, it
will not do for any of the grafters to
"dare" senators and members to put
a stop to the business. It is enough
to know that the grafters got $27,000,
000 of the people's money in one year.
There is no guess work about it. Who
ever cares to read the Postmaster Gen
eral's report for last year will find it
there stated. The first thing in order
is the return of this money by the
grafters. After that Congress, which
is never in a hurry about doing things,
may decide to change the rate on sec
ond-class mail matter (newspapers
and magazines,) so that some of the
grafters who have had their hands
deep in the public pocket these many
years, all the while crying out "stop
thief," will be obliged to do their share
toward wiping out the postal deficit.
The first thing for the- grafters to do
is to put something substantial in the
conscience fund the next thing is for
Congress to act. and after tliat perhaps
the government can afford to go to one
cent postage.
ALWAYS AT THE FROJiT.
North Dakota is invariably at the
front. No other state in the Union is
in such a state of preparedness in the
matter of drainage. How few people,
even in the valley, knew two months
ago that the general government had
made a survey of the valley under the
authority of a few lines quietly insert
ed in the agricultural appropriation
bill by one of our senators. The Agri
cultural Department will have the blue
prints of this survey ready by May 1st,
and will turn them over to the valley
counties. The next legislature should
pass a feasible drainage law, making
districts of the valley and otherwise
put the state in shape to do business
with Uncle Sam.
It is quite certain that if the Senate
had waited for the House to pass a
drainage law, ducks would continue to
be the principal crop in many parts of
the Red River valley for years to come.
The Senate certainly does things, and
it is not inclined to be "afraid of the
cars."

The Years.
Thoy come, they pass, with snow-soft
feet,
And deathless youth illumes their
eyes
Alike to them are chaff and wheat,
They light our smiles, they dry our
tears
Careless of death or life, the calm
Servants of time, the patient years.
The winds that rend and strew the rose.
Dissolve the. sweetness through tho
air
This wind of time that beats and blows.
Leaves all the past still'fragrant-fair.
Though hopes may fall and hearts may
break
And fruitless all the striving be,
One golden gift is left to make
Man's bliss, consoling memory.
Ilall and farewell, 'farewell and hall!
Tho going and the coming guest.
Welcome to daybreak's shining sail.
As to the night beyond the west!
The years may come, the years may go,
And bring the sad or merry mood
Merry or sad, one thing we know,
That life is good, ah, life is good!—

AMUSEMENTS

Little Johnny Jones.
The engagement of "Little Johnny
Jones" at the Metropolitan Theatre on
the evening of February 21, bids fair
to be a record breaker in point of at
tendance. "Little Johnny Jones" is
acknowledged tq be the most tuneful
and laughable play tliat has, as yet,
eminated from the pen of that clever
youngster George M. Cohan, and we
are to get the original production di
rect from New York triumphs.
The big Metropolitan cast will in
clude Tom Lewis, Sam J. Ryan, Rob

STORIES OF THE
A Mean Trick.
The head waiter at a big" Liverpool
hotel was purple with rage. "The
mean skinflint," he cried, "the^swind
ling'Yankee!"
"What's the matter?" asked the
manager.
"Matter!" answeredf the waiter,
"why, that long, lanky American chap
that was here last month. Before he
went away he took me to one side
and said he'd run short of ready,
money, but as soon as he got up to
London he'd send be a piece of paper
that would makfe me smile."
"Well?" said the manager.
"It's come," continued the infuriat
ed napkin wielder.
"That's all right," said the other^
"Is it a fiver?"
"No," came the reply. "It's a pic
ture post-card of the hippopotamus at
the Zoo, and he's written on it, 'Thy
bright smile haunts me still."':.
Badly Hnndlcapjted.
Representative Dixon of Montana
has a lynching story, says a Wash
ington correspondent. A'committee of
vigilantes had captured an Irishman
and a Swede and were about to hang
them by tyingj a rope about the neck
of each and shoving them off a rail
road bridge.
The first man up was the Swede.
When he was pushed off the rope
came untied and the man' struck the
water and he swam asliore.
The Irishman was next and when
the men were preparing him he said:
"Boys, be dom careful about fixin'
that rope. I can't'swim a stroke."
An Error of Judgment.
An Irishman said: "Last night, at
2 o'clock In the mornin'.^whin I was
walkln' up and down the floor wid .me
bare feet on the oilcloth, wid a cryin'
child on each arm, I couldn't help re
memberin' that me father wanted me
to be a priest. But I thought I knew
better than he did."
Tactful.
A newspaper writer of New York
was praising Mme. Bernhardt.
"She has a great d'eal of tact and
finesse," he said. "When, in an inter
view, you broach a subject she dis
likes she doesn't come right out and
say so, but she makes you such puz
zling, such enigmatic answers that,
perforce, you shift to another topic.
"I once went to get a very intimate
interview with the famous lady. I
went to find out what colors she liked
best, what food she ate, what wines
she drank, what hours she slept, and
all that sort of thing.
"She talked freely enough till I
came to the food question. That, it
was plain,' she regarded as too gross
a subject for discussion. So, when I
opened up with the query, 'And have
you a good appetite, madam?' she
smiled strangely and answered:
'"I sometimes eat more than I do
at other times, but never less.'
