The new school edifce at Steele was
dedicate with speeches, songs, and appro-
pirate ceremonies. Il is said to be very
complete and creditable building and

The feeling of the community towards
the Manitoba in its assaults upon the Fargo
Southern, is having its effect in the traffic
from Fargo. 1t is stated that very few

havo recently sent to Russia for seed of u
variety which is said to mature in 60 days,
