TRIBUNE LAST EDITION PRICE FIVE CENTS THIRD BOOSTER T QUR CARAVAN RETURNS PRAISING TERRITORY VISITED AND GREETING GIYE Best of Season is Verdict of the Happy Bunch Which Finishes Two-day Trip. : GET-BETTER ACQUAINTED Good Feeling and Close Coopera- tion Promoted by Tour—and Good Time is Had. Bismarck’s third trade extension and “trade in your home town” excursion ended in a blaze of glory at Wash- burn Friday night. Extensive public- ity of a lasting and constructive na- ture for the capital city resulted, but as equally important was the interest the members of the town took in the community life of the towns visited and a real impetus was given to the good roads movement and the ship- by-truck campaign. It was a tired but happy crowd that began arriving in Bismarck Friday evening and early Saturday morning. Many stayed for the festivities at Washburn, where a free dance was staged, with the Elks’ band officiat- ing, but others whose business engage- ments demanded their presence in Bismarck left atter speaking and band concert on the street. Washburn and Underwood take the prize for the enthusiasm of thei greeting. Receptions received here formed a fitting climax to a most suc- cessful trip. Met at City Gates As the caravan of Commercial clu, and Town Criers boosters turned inte the city limits at Underwood, they were met by the reception committee who turned over to J. C. Anderson. Al Rosen, P. R, Field, Phil Meyer anc other members of the executive com- mittee the key of the town. With them were three truck loads of schoo children and to demonstrate that Un- derwood is not behind in its enthusi- asm for the ship by truck movement, a string of fifteen or twenty little wooden cars containing cheering boys trailed behind one of the trucks’ The reception took the tour bj storm and put fresh “pep into the members for the closing hours of. the trip and streets were decorated, flags flying and all possible features fo1 the entertainment of the guests were afforded. After a street concert addresses were delivered by C. L. Young, presi- dent of the Commercial cyb, who join- ed the party at Garrison¥riday noon P. R, Fields and Geo. N. Keniston. A quintet of yodlers comprisinc Grant McNeil, Alex McClellan, Ed Reia William Johnson and- Geo. Potter jointed the entertainment divisiou here having come from Bismarck for this special purpose. They sang sev- eral selections and were induced to finish the trip with the party. Won't Let ’Em Leave The business men of Underwood refused to let the party leave on schedule time but insisted on another meeting at the beautiful municipal auditorium which this public spirited town has built. Addresses were given here by Mr. Young, Fields and Judge Nuessle who joined the party at Me Clusky with Charles Wattam. Trade in your home town, be loyal between the man on the farm and the businessman in the city were the texts | of the various addresses. Good roads. | and their necessity for modern trans-) portation needs were dwelt upon in a! forcible manner by all speakers. | Bismarck was especially urged as the jobbing center for the area visited | and the people of the towns showed real enthusiasm when they learned that the tour was as much in their interests as the capital city. Get Better Acquainted | “Let us get better acquainted,” said Cc. L. Young at Underwood. “We are all neighbors. We need yot and} you need us. We have learned today to appreciate you more than ever. Your charming hospitality has mad¢ a profound impression.” The committee of Underwood boost-! ers, and it comprised every merchant! in town, never allowed a moment to drag and then when the tour started its way toward Falkirk, they sent a committee to pilot the party there. At Falkirk there was a large crowd awaiting the guests. The bang played three pieces and after an address by! Mr. Fields, the party started towar Washburn the last town on the day's schedule. The streets of the McLean county seat were crowded and the city’s band, | comprising largely grade and_ high} school students, was out and -playing as the tourists arrived. All the busi- ness men were properly tagged and did everything to make the stop 2 pleasant one. me Learn from MeLean In addressing the crowd on the street, Mr. Young especially praised the excellent roads in McLean coun- ty, which enabled the party to prac- tically make up all time lost on the schedule. He said that Burleigh coun- ty could well learn something about good road building from McLean. The roads have been excellently laid out and for several miles out of Wash- burn were nicely dragged so that the party had easy sailing into town. Following the street addresses a free municipal dance was staged. GET AWAY TO A FINE START AT McCLU Sheridan county will long be re- membered by the Bismarck boosters. The party entered the county at Good- | rich and at the various stops realized the cordial hospitality of the various towns and their businessmen. The en-/ tertainmient at McClusky was greatly enjoyed. Everyone turned out to as- sist in making the stay pleasant. Pri- vate homes were torn open to care for the tourists. Ed. X.

The newspaper believes | the Japanese public is generally‘ pes- simistic over present negotiations 12 Washington and has a tendency to | criticise the cabinet for adopting what is declared to be “a luke warm make- shift policy.” ! Don't Won't War Unnamed peers are quoted as coun- | cilling the government to exercise the greatest patience in dealing with Am- erica as they are positi any other attitude would be suicidal. They point out that if she resorted to arms Japan's first step would be neces- ; Sarjly the withdrawal of all Japanese in America, which, they assert, would greatly please Americans. Suspension of commercial inter- urse would have the most dire con- quences to Japan, they declare, and if Japan should succeed in landing troops on American soi] the Amer- icans would not suffer as much as Japanese. They point out that should Japanese on the contrary, suffer de- feat her fate would be» sealed and therefore it would be the wisest to await a favorable turn in the situa- tion, placing full confidence in the aracter and principles of the Amer- jican people. Newspapers print long reports about the anti-Japanese movement in America and also publish contribu- tions from both notable and unknown Japanese in which attention is call; ed to the seriousness of the'situation, which even a conservative leader like Vicount Shibusawa is quoted as char- | acterizing as “more or less strained.” ‘These reports have the effect of in- | fluencing and exciting the masses of the people and open discussion of ‘the question of war does not tend to- | ward calming the situation. Representatives of the Japanese government have asserted the situa- tion might be used by elements of unrest in the empire to.create serious internal disturbances. .

Rich, of the Irederal Reserve bank, in the bank monthly report on crop and busines conditions in the northwest. “On the basis of these estimates the money value of the cereals plus the amount of corn that will be marketed jand sold is approximately $900,000,000. {This estimate does not include say, which for the ninth district as a whole, is moe valuable than wheat. 'It does not intlude livestock or dairy; products, the large potato crop, dry; vegetablesy poultry, fruit and other’ products contributing substantially to the return from agriculture. It ap-; pears to be entirely safe to estimate! the present value of agriculture and! livestock production of the district this! lyear at $1,250,000,000. This is an amount more than sufficient to liqui-} date the indebtedness of the northwest and leave an ample margin as a foun- dation for business prosperity during the coming year. Lack Cars The transportation question is the chief deterrent, it is said. The north- west has not received the number of; empty grain cars which were prom- ised, it was stated. The reserve bank} urges local traffic committee to super-| vise the unloading of cars to facilitate! movement of business. | The problem of securing sufficient! bituminous coal to meet the normal| industrial needs of the northwest dur-| ing the coming winter hlso remains} unsolyed, it is stated. ail Decrease in Wheat \ As compared with a month ago there has been a decrease in the pros- pective production of all cereals but corn, the report says. There is a de-| crease of about 7 million bushels of} North Dakota, South Dakota, Minne- sota and Montana. An increase in flax production in South Dakota of 10 per cent is reported. Unchanged produc- tion of oats, barley, rye and flax is noted in Minnesita; unchanged pro- duction of barley, rye and flax in North Dakota and unchanged pro- duction of oats in South Dakota. The favorable progress of the corn crop is characterized as “especially gratifying.” BUSINESS PAYS WELL BUT STATE OFFICER ENDS IT) Springfield, 1ll., Sept. 25.—Mlinois’ hest paying business was closed to- day.

The brush had been broken down and the ground pawed up for a distance of 20 feet on all sides of the bodies.
