A year or SO ago there was but solitary
tepee at Teller's bay On Devils lake,

beautiful site and the coming season will

I5nPolk county, northern Minnezota, the
people are petitioning Gov. Hubbard to
call special session of the legislature to
take action in regard to the grading and

In the Bismarck land district there 10

not unreasonable to expect that the immi-
grafton next season will be greatly in ex-
cess of this yeer.

will become available, whish will be used
