the roads leading to the Red Eye and Shell

have public house for the purpose.

A Sabbath School was organized last Sun
day, and the Rev. E. Wright was chosen
superintendent. It is hoped that all feeling an
interest for tie welfare of the children, will
attend and endeavor to make the school in
teresting.
Mr.. Miller has bought piece of land on
section l., near the school house, of J. 4.
Bowmen, and is building house on it. So
it goes; our timber country is fast being set
tied up, ana the time IS near at hand when
what is now vast forests, will be cultivated
fields, for it is an undeniable fact that the
timbered portion of this northern country
cannot be surpassed for productive soil in
the world, and what the settler looses by the
necessary slow beginning he has to encounter
by reason Of his having to clear his land, he
will be amply repaid by having soil that
will pay him abundandly for all the labor
expended, besides he has the satisfaction Of
thinking that he made a wise choice in Sc
Letting timbered farm.
The measles are raging in the western part

is to be ditched and a good road made be-

no doubt will make a good read of it, with
the subscription work that has already been
promised.
Mr.. Ben. Franks made very pleasant visit
to our Sabbath school last Sunday, and every
one was pleased to see him. Ben. is jolly
good boy and every one of us say, come

There will be about one quarter more acre
age of wheat sown here this season than last,
and with our usual yield we will BE- in suct
shape that we will not care whether they sell
tea on time or for cash.
Every farmer that has not got grainery,
is building one. They all know that it is
necessary to have place to store their large
crop this fall.
Our school commences about the first of
May with Miss Flora Franks as teacher. No
doubt but we shall have a good school as
Miss Franks has had considerable experience

base your expenditures upon the
quotient thereof, taking care that you
do not over run the amount, you will
find "after harvest" that you will
be far better off than your neighbor
who has gone into debt to the full
extent of his coming crop, even
though he has enjoyed some of tile
comforts which you have denied
yourself. And, il from storms or
other unusual climatic or insect mis-
fortune, only half crop is raised,
you would float easily where, on the
contrary, yourneighbor would swamp.
When q farmer reaches point where
he buys for cash, he saves on every
dollars worth he may purchase; be-
sides this, he is not compelled to sell
his grain as soon as harvested to paw
his debts, should the market at that
time be low, but can hold it until he
gets ready to sell.
We hope to see the day when farm
ers in this Northern Pacific country,
as a rule, will do business STRICTLY
ON THE CASH BASIS.
