Bro, remained after the usual hours at
night, when couple of men came in and

with about $7O0.
John McDonough, one of the pioneers
who came to Fargo as construction hand
when the Northern Pacific was built some
twelve or thirteen years ago, and had no
money, died Sunday evening aged so
years and worth $4,000 or more. 1t is
not often that an Irish railroad builder at
the age of IS takes start and becomes
Weaishy, but then Dakota has furnished
rare opportunities the past few years.
Inc opening of the splendid first class
MOTEL, the Willard, at Brainerd on Christ
mas day 1t is designed to make req letter
oay IN Lee development of that enterpris-
ing city. An elaborate banquet and grand
ball are on the docket. A thousand invi-
tatlons, gotten up in the most artistic
style IN New York, are co be issued and
large delegations are expected from st
Paul, Minneapolis, Grand Forks, and the
rest of the world.
A noted society man, at jamestown, who
recently had unfortunate reason for desir-
ing facial observation, lately ceased his
patronage of the knights of the razor. and
expended large means in hirsute fertilizers,
and now all the young society men and
dndes are following his example, not sus-
pecting the singular reason for 1t, and the
BARRIERS threaten to close up and leave
town. 1t furnishes another illustration of
the historical absurdity of many fashions.
The elevator under charge of N. Enge
at Portland, north Dakota, bursted a few
days ago under its load of $4,000 bushels
of No. l hard, which is distributed on both
sides. Workmen had just finished prop
ping the room and it was believed to be
perfectly secure, but they had miscalcu-
lated. The loss on the building will be
about $500, but most of the wheat can
saved. This is the fourth elevator in the
Red river valley that has gone to wreck
under the pressure of the great staple,
and fortunately no one was hurt this time.
The big new school house in Fargo has
steam heating apparatus which meets
every requirement in the summer, but this
week it has been found impossible to
raise the temperature above 80 to so de-
grees in the Varions rooms, and the schools
were dismissed in consequence. Some
body has biundered badly in this heating
matter, and none seem willing to shoulder
the responsibility. As practical matter
j. is imperative that some way may be
found to warm TIE building which has not
yet been devised rs there is no provision
for the use Of stoves.
Some of the open hearted young people
of Fargo have recently organized club to
devise and carry out innocent recreations
and amusements during the somewhat
lengthy winter season. The specia lily com-
mendable feature about it is that effort is
to be principally directed to furnishing
means and facilities for sharing the social
diversions by those whose circumstances,
financial or otherwise, would deny partici
patton. If judioionsly conducted, as it no
doubt will be, judging from those engaged
in 1t, it will be means of much satisfac-
ton and pleasure To all CONCERNED.

winter. There should be an efficient or
ganization of this character at every North
ern Pacific town in north Dakota Owing
to the closing out of many Northern Pa
cific and other enterprises for the winter,
and the reduction of the force employed in
the shops of the Northern Pacific, there
will be great number of those who will
need aid. II will be without excuse if any
deserving are allowed to suffer in this
fruitful land, and it would be proclaimed
to its great detriment in other, sections.
Whatever may be the attempt to de

stantial structure being rapidly pushed
there for capital uses, will be completed
and furnish perennial attestation of the
generous public spirit so prevalent there
The center walls are nov to their full
height, and the west wall is well toward The
top of the third story. Two weeks Of
favorable weather will raise the walls to
the roof, and before January it is hoped
the roof will be on. The material for the
completion OF the building snearly all OIL
the ground. The imposing proportions
Of the ediice are now apparent.
The Mandan Fioneer has been pressing
the idea OF division il the Missouri river,
with persistence That is likely to force
attention to the merits of the scheme.
There is something worth considering in
if. The great river is q natural boundary,
and the interests and productions of the
sections separated by it are very distinct.
On the east there is prairie country al
most exclusively devoted to agriculture.
The west is broken aud largely mountain
ous, with mining and grazing the prevail
ing interests. 1t has vast territory which
will in time have ample population for
state. There may be many Urgent reasons
adduced for division on the Missouri.
