4 lished from Devils Lake City to Turtle
Mountain, and is well patronized.

f. I. Mott, of Fargo, is cousin Of the
new governor, and will assist him few
months in obtaining good impressions of
Dakota.
A recent hail storm on the Buffalo river
some ten miles north of Moorehead, destroy

The farmers held convention at Moor
head July Is and 16, to which Dakota farmers

r. rates.
At the Fargo land office there has been
final proof made in but four three claims.
The number will increase considerably this
year but will never be large. The timber
culture act has not proven a success and
and should be repealed or greatly amended.
The lightning has jostled around quite
carelessly in the vicinity of Lisbon recently.
A team was killed in the suburbs of the city,
Geo. Cotton and family were stunned by

As showing the ingenuity Of the girls who
hold claims it is related that Porter county
girl had no rope with which to draw up the
dirt from well she was having dug. But
she was equal to the emergency and cut up
her petticoat, twisted it and with the help of
lady friend drew out the dirt, and, pleas
ant to relate, succeeded in getting a well of
good water.
The practicablity of growing trees as the
timber culture act contempates is shown in
this case mentioned by the Ordway Tribune:
Mr.. 7. j. Owens, on 1924 has a sample
OF what the tree culture would amount to if
the intent of that law was carried out This
is the third season, giving little over two
years growth, and his forest reaches the
shoulders of a tall man with not tree mis-
sing.
The Altoona Eagle scars sufficiently to see
this: 1T looks as if Pierre or Redfeld will
be selected as the capital of south Dakota,
with the chances rather in favor of the former
city. As soon as the territory is divided we
shall see, Pierre is building up rapidly, and
is situated nearly in the geographical center
of south Dakota, on the Missouri, which af-
fords cheap transportation of all kinds of
merchandise, and makes freight rates cheap
er to this point than to other towns not sit
uated on nayigable streams,
In the opinion of many interested in the
settlement of Uhe territory, it would have
been better had congress passed the act re-
pealing the presumption and removing the
communication feature of the homestead, and
requesting four years continuous residence
before patent can issue The Flandreau En-
teprise says in regard to it: 'If the law had
thus been amended before this county was
settled, 1t is probable that it would have CON
tanned nearly twice as many residents to-day
as it actually has. There would not have
been so many real estate mortgages either"
The Flandreau Enterprise anticipates that
the new governor will not be able to please
all of his constituents. 1t says: cit is
pleasant to see how well pleased both the
Bismarck and Yankton factions are at the
appointment of Col. Pierce as governor It
is to be hoped that both factions will con-
tinue in their present well pleased frame of
mind. The new governor of Dakota will
find his course besct with thorns from the
start. He will be compelled to recognize
either Yankton or Bismarck as the capital of
Dakota, and whichever one he will bring
down upon his head the wrath of the citi-
zens of the other"
Lisbon has been in litter the past few
few days over the trick played on the son of
Sheriff Moore, his deputy, by the sick horse
