Official County and City Paper SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR COURSE OF BUSINESS. The past winter has been the dullest that northern Minnesota has known since the panic of the early nineties. = Just what has caused this flattening out of business is hard to say, but 1t is a fact that every town in north “ern Minnesota knows too well. Presidential election year is al- ways a poor year for business and the whole country has suf- fered from this cause. Still it seems strange that there should be so much of a falling off in busi- ness while at the same time prices have not declinéd. In fact they have advanced. It certainly costs as much to live in Minne- sota this year as last year while we know that numerous neces saries and most luxuries have ad vanced appreciably. Businessis better now than it has been at any time during the winter and there are indicatiens that it will [ — continue to improve and that northern Minnesota will experi ence a good summer, although until the national election is over we may hardly hope for the busy times of a year ago.
