We hope, for the good of tie cities as well as of the north- ern counties, the advice will find 2 response in quarters where it will! da the most good.

Duluth’s wholesale} and other business interests have} given us service—at a big profit to themselves. The Twin Cities have aot recognized our existence. Thein wholesalers seem not to be aware | there is any north. They have per-; mitted Duluth houses to gain a mon- epuly of this section, with seem- imgly never a thought of the mor- cow. And that hold is becoming so firm that it will soon be a hope- less task for any rivals to attempt te break it. The Twin Cities have practically me communication with the coun- ties of the north.

It does not appear that the new governmental body is much of an} improvement on the old. But time may prove that it is. A Duluth court chased out all the maudlin people who came to hear the testimony in a nasty trial last week. If other courts would only follow suit it might mark quite a stride in the way of decency if not purity. ro The stream of cash pouring into the stricken districts of Ohio is erhood. There is little that is another proof of our common broth- good about such disasters, but they do go far toward teaching the les- son of charity and generosity. AOD ASE St Grand Rapids is to be the cen- ter of a mining district, of course.

It would make the river navi gable into the village and give us al |chanee to develop a summer resort here by opening the upper stream and Lake Pokegama to motor boat people. Besides it is pretty near an invasion of public rights to shut off the navigation of the greatest waterway in the north. thls ETE The flood disaster in Ohio, with its loss of hundreds of lives at Columbus, Dayton and other points, carries with it a lesson which, it is to be hoped, will be taken heart in a way to prevent its repe- tition. The flooding of the Miami and other rivers in that section is a regular yearly event. It occurs every spring, and the public have to look for it along about the end of March, as surely as that time arriv lat it has not ex- acted as great a toll of life com cident of a lesser snowfall on the optimism as to the future, but |domestic conditions do not dis- close any fundamental weaknesse | The appaling loss of life and pro- |perty destruction with which the ;month of March closed must, of tor, the importance of which . on | the general prosperity of the coun- try is not yet determinable. A area of territory has been |stricken. The probability that the floods which have raged in the | Ouuio valley will be followed in sone |degree by floods in the lower Mis- |sissippi river region makes the outlook more grave. But the influence that will have more to do in determining the fu- ture activity of business is just ;swinging into prominence. April will bring the first government crop report that will permit some anti- cipation of the ultimate harvest, even though it is to early to have positive values. Its worth as a forecast of the probable winter wheat crop is in the margin of lee- way is gives for possible impair- ment before the condition declines |below the point of normal yield. There is every indication that the April condition will be above the average unless the flood damage in the soft winter wheat belt is more serious than is now anticipated. The exceptionally mild winter has, ‘undoubtedly minimized losses by | winter killing and the moisture de- ficiency last fall in important areas ‘of the winter wheat belt stimulat- ed the underground growth and |produced an exceptionally vigorous plant. Since the last half of March soil conditions have been improved by rain and snow, dissipating all fear of drouth at the beginning of rich the growing period. Reports from the south and southwest are favorable. In the Northwest, where farming opera- tions will begin with April, the soil is in excellent shape. North Dakota and Minnesota are consider- ed, from the moisture standpoint, |as being in the best condition for | years and recent snows in south Dakota have relieved the deficiency of precipitation in that section. | Noticed It, Too. | The Duluth Trade News — says: “When it comes to stagnation, take the Great Northern road.
