The small daily a. Crookston, the North
ern Tier, which has found pleasure and pro-
st no doubt in i'll natured aspeTsions upon
Fargo has faded out. It would not bs IN
fair in view of it's course to suggest that
while Crookston abandons the attempt TO
keep alive one diminutive daily, Fargo ia
adding much larger one O its obese list
of diurnal issues.
A paper at Casselton reports that a
young couple in that place who were sit
ting up sparkling on a Ieoent Sunday
night, were found the next morning by the
girls father when he got up to make the
fire, both sitting up in chairs, quite neigh
borly chairs, fsst asleep. They were evil
IDENTIFY aotuated by a high sense of duty
rathsr than romantic sentiment. The old
gentlemen should send the boy home
nights when he gets sleepy.
Forethought is good thing sometimes.
The prudent, careful people at Grand
Forks laid in their winters supply of wood
in the fall while the roads we're good and
before the price went up. But as they
looked at their long piles of wood bought
months ago at $500 cord, it ruffies them
to see dealers trying to sell the best varie-
ties of wood at $3.50, just half of what they
paid a1d no prospect of going higher.
Geo. Sew erson recently came across a
cinnamon bear near Owego in the range
of the Lisbon gold discoveries. It was IL
thick brush and George did not see it till
he came upon it and it growled at him,
which made his hair rise right up. He
put eight bullets intoit before he dar ed
venture within its reach. Il had been
seen frequently and had done good deal
of mischief. It should not be supposed,
however, that bears are common in the
prairie region of Dakota. Deer are quite
numerous.
The fact that some men cannot stand
SUCCESS uau ueW lllu5IIdtlOQ at, Gral q
Forks the past week. A professor of the
pedal art has been organizing dancing
academy, and as the introduction there
was to be dance for which over thirty
tickets had been sold. This saitatial
boom get away with the agile professor.
He went bobbing around from saloon to
saloon until his gyrations could not be
timed with music, and he was unable to
have the ball, and the young people were
al engaged. The moral il not to get on
spree before the dance commences.
In speaking of the suspension of the
daily at Crookston the Chronicle of that
place expresses this opinion: 'sWe believe
| the Bismarck Tribune is making some
money for its proprietors; that the Grand
Forks Herald and Fargo Argus are paying
expenses, and we don't believe anothe T
daily of any size in the northwest is being
i run with its earnings" II this statement
] is applied to the country north of st. Paul
and Minneapolis it is probably very near
correct. Those without experience on the
subject have little idea of what is costs to
run even a small daily. Experience on
the subject is generally rough on the
| pocket. There are still several more daily
papers in Dakota and northern Minnesota
| than there will be in several months.
