NORTHEASTERN Notes.

In Grand Forks county the taxes levied
by the county board amount to 121S mills.
The Democrats of Ransom county have
elected DR.. F. E. Marsh delegate to the con-
vention at Sioux Falls.
The corn ears have now gotten up fifteen
feet, and expect to need balloons before the
stalks are done growing.
The editor of the Hillsboro Banner has har-
vested thirty-fiye bushels of wheat to the
acre and is proud and happy.
The NJ. f. church, at Avon, viii be dedi-
Gated on Sunday, Sept. IA. Rev. I. N. Par
dee will preach the dedication sermon.
Gathering wild plums is now great sport
for the young people in most sections, and
bushels of them are brought in every day.
Blunt has a base ball club of young ladies,
but they go out into the country to play
where the young men will not be spectators.
The Bismarck Tribune says the taxes in
that county this year are II 40 mills, out
side of municipal taxes, against "a 40 last
year.
A. T. Packard, editor of the Bad Lands
CO'c6oy has been promoted to manager of
the Marquis de Mores line of stages to the
Black Hills. The first ones are expected to
start from Medora next week.
One of the editors in Kimball, BrQle
county, keeps large snake in his back
yard, and whenever he wants drink goes
and looks at the snake and rushes for the
antidote for snake bites. It is thought he
will see snakes in his boots yet if he keeps
on.
| The Winnebago reservation, which Dele
gate Raymond promises to have thrown open
for settlement at once if the president has
the authority to do so, comprises II town
ships of the finest and most fertile land in
! Dakota 1t will be taken up in a very short
time when opened to settlement.
The Plankington Aurora reports Hon.
Alex. Hughes, of the capital commission,
canvassing the south in the interest of Dele
gate Raymond. The delegate himself, with
a deputy U. S. marshal, is now visiting the
main portions of the south He is the only
candidate who makes personal canvass. 1t
is not learned what position Hughes wants.
The Blunt Times says: The purchase by
the c. & n. w. of the Omaha Pacific road
and the contracts for the extension thereof
west of the Missouri river, will work great
change in Black Hills freight business. The
route by that line is considerably shorter for
wagon train freights than via Pierre, and
the new movement is expected to divert a
large amount of business from that place.
The jamestown Alert, which has been a
morning, is now an evening paper. The
place now has two neat, lively evening
dailies, of the same politics. It is a puzzle
to a new conner how a town of 5000 people,
or less, can sustain two dailies. 1t could
not be done in towns of double the size in
the states, and the newspaper support in the
cities of Dakota does not differ materially
from that given papers in the states There
is little in the boom business for newspapers
any more.
The farmers of Pembina county are fully
convinced that they can raise stock up there
proftably, and some of them are already en-
gagged in the business. The Bathgate Sentinel
says: ''Three carloads of blooded cattle
passed through here Friday evening, billed
to Neche. They are shorthorns, and were
destined for Mr.. H. A. Mayo's farm near
Walhalla. This gentleman intends going
into the stock business quite extensively,
and this lot of seventy-fve head is his first
installment."
One sensible opinion has been embodied
in circular from the land department at
Washington in regard to the character of the
publications that may print final proof no
tees. This circular tolls the death knell OF
so called final proof newspapers that are pub
lished throughout the public land states and
territories. There must be a post Office al
the professed place of publication; also 6
town, "a farm house and stable do not con-
stitute a town. then there must be a legiti-
mate circulation Gwenty copies to an issue
will not serve hereafter,) and proof of circu-
lation must be presented. Next mere geo.
graphical distance will not decide the regis
ters action. Whatever newspaper he deter
mines upon ''as the nearest" all things
considered, is the one in which the notice
will appear.
