THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) Daily by mail, outside of North Dakota... (Official City, State and County Newspaper) BURLEIGH COUNTY SHOULD FALL The whole of the National Parks Highway, or Red Trail. from Fargo west to the county of Burgigh has been improved or shortly will be improved. Burleigh county alone seems not to have kept pace with the remainder of the east ern half of the state in putting this main artery of inter state traffic in the same condition as are the other cities and counties east of the Missouri river. Kidder county has just asked for the improvement of 26 miles or the entire length of the Red Trail in that county. Stutsman county is com- pleting the improvement of that stretch of highway from Jamestown west to the county line. In time, this will give NTO LINE a graveled roadbed from the east line of the state to Bur-( leigh county. Thirty miles of the Red Trail lie in Burleigh county. Bids for the improvement of five miles of this 30 mile stretch were opened last Tuesday, and a contract awarded. But this still leaves 25 miles of unimproved state highway in the county. Shall the entrance into the State Capital and the metropolis of the center portion of the state be over a rough or unimproved highway? What will be the reaction of the traveling public to such a situation? The business men of Bismarck and the Association of Commerce should awaken to the full value of a good road to our city. Everyone concedes its value as a business getter, an economic asset. Over 500 cars were registered at the tourist camp during the past 40 days, and they constitute but a small fraction of those stopping or passing through our city. This year has seen the completion of the bridge across‘ ouri at Mobridge, and the competition for tourist | the Mis traffic will be keener than ever. Unless, we can point to a better road than the trail in the state south of us, we can- not hope for a routing of traffic to,the National Parks through our state. It is natural for tourists leaving the Twin Cities to make Fargo for their first stop. Bismarck should be the next stop, and the autoist should come into the city feeling happy and contented, and with a good impres- sion of our environs. One needs but to “hit the road” and visit tourist camps to get a thorough knowledge just how the traveling public views good roads and their impressions of the communities en route. Shall the thousands of autoists who come to our city leave with a kindly feeling and speak well of us to all their fellows, or shall they say that the poar- est road along their entire route of travel was near the state capital of North Dakota, the city of Bismarck? Shall we be near the front of the procession in road improvement, or bring up a distant and unenviable rear? N. D. BOOSTERS COMBINE EFFORTS Development of the State of North Dakota received de- cided impetus on Monday of this week when two state-wide development organizations, the Greater North Dakota asso- ciation and the North Dakota Automobile association, held a joint meeting of their directorates, together with repre- sentative citizens from every section of the state at Grand Forks which resulted in the amalgamation of these two bodies into one state-wide development association. « Under the combined association, which will be known as “The Greater North Dakota association and The North Da- =. kota Automobile association, (combined)” the work of the two associations will be coordinated ; the expense of develop- ment work will be lessened; more efficient work can be done; and duplication of effort will be eliminated. Officers of the new association will form an Executive Committee which will have direct charge of all affairs of the association under the supervision of a Board of Directors composed of at least one responsible citizen from each county in the state. 4 The amalgamation of these organizations has been planned for the past two weeks, sponsors of the movement realizing that North Dakota needed an association of state-wide influ- ence which would coordinate all practical state development plans and carry them out in a five year state development program. The new association will appeal to North Dakotans this fall for financial support; the money subscribed to be used in advertising the resources and opportunities of North Da- kota in other states, and in carrying out all practical develop- ment plans, that new settlers may be attracted to this state; that capital may be encouraged to seek investment in the state; and that North Dakota’s industrial growth may be hastened. The several services and affiliations now in effect in the two associations will be continued in the combined or- ganization. Major Stanley Washburn, president of the Washburn Lignite Coal company, speaking before the Grand Forks meeting said, “North Dakota cannot expect to attract new settlers or industries unless North Dakota and its advant- ages are sold to them. The entire state can well afford to unite on a broad program of development if we who are in- terested in its development have faith in its future. Per- sonally, I believe that North Dakota has a future. I believe it will become one of the truly great agricultural states and after giving considerable thought during the past year to the possibilities of lignite development I am convinced that North Dakota has an industrial future. Industry invariably follows cheap power and the lignite deposits of North Da- kota mean cheap power.” SANE?

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON The porcupineapple never caught up to the snail-boat, so that was the last the Twins ever saw of him. As for the snail, he fell sound asleep, and when he did so his horns drew in.

Rowell The Salvation Army worker, after a long absence, goes to the ‘returning to San Francisco Barbary Coast and other former haunts of public vice and finds “nothing doing.” Not that the whole world has turned virtuous but that this particular method of debauchery has gone out. Doubtless the same report mer city tenderloins. could be given on many for- The thing that “couldn’t be done” is done; the town is, lif not completely reformed, at least “cleaned up.” New laws, new public sentiment and new standards of police enforcement have done it. The conditions that we used to take for granted are gone, and if they could be returned shock even those who used to , only for a day, they would defend them. Will it not be the same way with prohibition? The thing that couldn’t be done is already done, so far as the open saloon is concerned. Doubtless it will never be accomplished completely as to secret bootlegging, just as gambling and prostitution have not been completely suppressed. But it will be no longer a common and notorious feature of life. When that stage is reached, pro- hibition will be an accomplished and accepted fact. UP TO THEIR OLD TRICKS ONCE MORE Both Democratic and Republican candidates for the next Congress are reported to be planning to run on the personal popularity of President Coolidge. It is an old trick. Republican candidates ran on it during Roose- velt's administration, at a time when he was worse hated in Congress than any president within memory. President Coolidge is probably not hated, even in Congress. But he is not popular there. Perhaps it is the only place where he is not popular. i So the congressmen, recognizing the band wagon, are preparing to get aboard it. Where they are Republicans and their pretense of “Standing by the President” can be proved false, Democratic opponents will take ad- vantage of that opportunity. They will allow it to be inferred that they, if elected, will come near- er to supporting him than these par- ticular. Republicans. Then, if any of them do happen to get elected, they will be the first to Knife him. It'is the some old game. IF YOU CAMP, Each year from about October 1 typhoid fever cases show an increase. Health authorities attribute part of this increase to camp life. Get- ting back to nature is all right for dweller, but the city dweller should mix a good dose of safety with his romance. This means that he should be careful of his drinking water in p, and fight against flies which carry typhoid fever germs from sewage to the camp food. July 1 toy: FABLES ON HEALTH BE CARE | Water from babbling brooks is not always pure. Neither is the water from the “Old Oaken Bucket.” Often folk in the country are care- less with the disposal of sewage. The babbling brook may have its source near a house where recently there has been typhoid fever. Milk and butter purchased in the country, or in the city, may contain typhoid fever germs. The camp should be kept scrupu- lously clean, Just because one is out in the woods is no reason for letting up on house-cleaning dutics. As the boat goes down the bay it halts to buy clams from a big fat fellow in a rowboat. -One boat will take on as many as eight bushels of clams. These are shelled by one of the crew, chopped in pieces and dis- tributed to the fishermen in small iron plates for bait. After sailing through the lower bay the boat after traveling about two and a half hours anchors in 30 to 50 feet of water. Then the fishing begins. At this time of the year fluke, bass and black fish are run- ning and usually everybody aboard catches at least one fish. Many of them catch more than they can carry. These fish can be pulled in with a hand line as well as with rod and reel. Any trout or fresh water bass fisherman who reads this wlil sneer at deep-sea fishing as a sport. And, in truth, there is a greater thrill in catching one trout in an entire day of fishing than in catching 40 fish hauled up over the side of a boat. But the thrill for the land lubber lies not in catching fish. His real battle comes in trying to keep from appearing seasick as the boat rolls and pitches hour after hour. Beside a day in a small boat in the open sea a transatlantic trip is as nothing in the way of stomach-disturbance. A curbstone orator in Eighth ave- nue haranguing the crowd in a for- eign tongue.

Johnny goes through six reels of the most hectic sort of ac- tion and achieves a most glorious finish. Does he succeed?
