The Aberdeen Pioneer gathers this infor-
nation from the new judge of that district:
He is now making trip throughout his dis
trict for the sole purpose of ascertaining the
condition of the business which will come
before him, and thus be enabled to intelli-
gently decide upon course or system which
will be to the best interests of litigants and
meet the approval of the members of the bar.
He has decided to hold his first term of court
III Sphinx county, early in September, and as
soon as he can determine the length of time
that term will occupy, he will set date for IL
term of court in Brown county. Further
than this he has not decided regarding
courts. AS to the matter of residence, that
he has not decided, and will not decide for
at least six months, for the reason that he
desires to know more about the business of
his district before establishing residence.
He will, however, designate to the bar Of the
district points within its limits at which he
may be found on certain dates during vaca-
tons and between terms, so that they may
govern themselves accordingly.

Unpopnznr mSneninL .Anents.n

Among the most unpopular people in
Dakota are the special agents who try to
earn their pay in hunting up crookedness in
land claims. The CentrevflfetLerleI says of
the operations of one of these: GA special
agent of the government, named Jaycox,
has been endeavoring for months past to col
lect evidence showing the fraudulent charac-
ter of final proofs of certain land claims in
the Aberdeen, Dakota, land district Two
of the cases came up for q hearing last
Thursday. The agent took the stand, as no
other witnesses appeared. He said that his
witnesses had been intmidated by threats.
The defense put but one question to him,
viz: If he could swear that the house which
he found on the claim recently was the
house which was on the claim two years ago,
at the time of making final proof; which
question he answered in the negative. The
register and receiver found for the claimant.
This agent seems to be trying to make capt.
tai for himself out of these cases. They
were proved up on and the register and re-
ceiver had accepted the proof If the agent
is trying to ferret out fraud, the time for him
to get his work in is before final proof has
been made. If there is any case, he can
get witnesses at that time"

Geo. Ho,ees, Farming Operations.

Geo. Howes, one of the prosperous farm
ers of Casselton, visited Devils Lake the past
week and the Inter Ocean obtained from him
this account of his farming operations: Mr..
Howes has 1000 acres of wheat near Cassel-
ton whichis now being harvested. He has
sixteen sef-binders at wowk, cutting an
average of 800 acres day. He has three
large steam threshers which will commence
upon the crop the first of next week. Mr..
Howes calculates upon an average this year
OF % bushels to the acre; last year he got 20
bushels. This will give him SO, 600 bushels
Of No. 1 hard wheat, Mr.. Howes says his
farm cost him about 100000. Last year,
after deducting per cent. on the invest
ment, his profits amounted to $50, 900. This
year his net earnings will reach 1000 or
more. Yet he thinks farming in Dakota
can be made still more profitable by the in
PRODUCTION of cattle, horses and hogs, among
the products, and next year he proposes to
stock his ranch and raise something besides
wheat. Mr.. Howes argues that land in Da-
kota must double its value in the next few
years. In substantiation of his argument,
he refers to the value of land in Kansas,
where good farmes within the rain belt are
now worth from $40 TO $50 per acre. Mr..
Bodsen agrees with Mr.. Howes in the theory
that farming in Dakota can be made a much
greater and more profitable business by the
introduction of good grades of cattle and
horses.

Charles Mic aud Douglas Counties.


Comparatively little has been known Of
these counties spoken of by the Yaukton
Press: Recent visitors toCharlesMix andDoug-
las counties and the region thereabout bring
marvellous stories of the agricultural richness
of the section and its rapid settlement and
development. 1t is all occupied by indus
trious farmers and as large a proportion of
land is under cultivation there as in the
older counties of Dakota. The farmers gem
orally have erected good class of buildings
and have invested largely in stock. A large
crop of small grain has been harvested this
year and corn promises an abundant yield.
This wonderful change has taken. place
within three years in region untouched by
railroad and the surprise is the greater be-
cause the public generally had not been
aware of its progress. Visitors are not
numerous, because it can be reached only by
wagon routes Most of those who go in be-
come residents and few Of them have yet
had the time or opportunity to tell the story
of their success. Yankton people have
noticed steady inflow of wagon immigra-
ton passing through this city, but few of
them have been informed that these white
topped caravans halted and put down their
stakes in Douglas and Charles Mix.

Plans of The M. d 81. p. Co.

The Ipswich Gazette has this anticipation:
awe had the pleasure lately of conyersing
with gentleman who claims to have an in
sight into the private schemes Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee Il st. Paul Railway company, who
informed us that he had positive assurance
that the road would build across from Wool
sey TO Bismarck by way Of Ipswich and
would not build west from here unless tho
coal excitement should materialize. The
company has issued large number of maps
showing this line, and there is every reason
to believe 1t will be built next season. The
country it would traverse, particularly that
portion between here and Woolsey is one OF
the finest in the territory, It's very banana
belt, in fact The short sighted person who
imagins that Ipswich has reached the zenith
of her glory has made mistake"

experimenting with what are called train
agents with satisfactory results. The duties
of the train agents are to furnish tickets to
any persons who take passage on their trains
without first purchasing tickets, and also to
make record of every ticket taken up by
