! The first shipment of new wheat from north
Dakota was made this week, and went to
Duluth. The quality this season will be high.
The past week has been the warmest since
June in north Dakota. At Mandan and Bismarck
the thermometer went to 100. At Fargo it was
over so.
| The first wheat threshing in the vicinity of
Bismarck was on the Cameron farm, and the
yield was twenty one bushels of wheat, machine
| measure.
| The Northern Pacific is building double
| track from Fargo out to the Sheyenne stock
yards, some six miles. Geo. Foley has the con-
| tract.
The examinationf in the case of Frank Sicily,
who was killed, brought out nothing to cast
reasonable suspicion upon any one examined 1t
Is not likely that any material facts will be ell
cited,
| The Mandan Pioneer says: In conversation
with Mr.. Billings yesterday he said that his
friend, Cyrus w. Field, and party of friends
| were coming west over the Northern Pacific in a
short time, to see the country and to take i'll the

the cattle of Ben Mason, at Powderville, last

tons of the army reunion at III innetonka were

| to preside over the board of equalization.
| The Valley City Times probably has a per-
sonal interest that prevents his giving the name
of this courageous maiden: Dakota girl from
| Fargo went to New York on visit and is now a
heroine, owing to having used a revolver with
! good effect an obstreperous tramp. The tramp
probably did not know she was from Dakota.

Miles City JOuraal AT the brewery two
/ young pet bears took quite fancy to beer and
were treated to about five quarts. They
smacked their lips over it and appeared to enjoy
the effect amazingly until the beverage took
hold. They paved at each other ineffectively
and rolled from side to side in intoXcation until
finally they laid down and slept off the effects.
Arthur Sykes, an English gentleman of large
means, who owns a considerable part of Wells
county, is now on his first visit to Sykeston,
named after him, and the citizens express I'M
bounded pride in him. He thinks the place will

school house and church, -four mill and other
| structures. He is good man to cultivate.
| Bismarck Journal. The price of freight on
wheat from Bismarck to the lakes is eighteen
cents per bushel from Fargo fourteen cents
| The difference in distance is 200 miles. The diff
| ference in value of land on this rate would be
about eighty cents per acre were it not that the
| Bismarck land produces enough more in pounds
| per bushel to more than overcome this difference
| in rate.
| Dakota Siftings: Work on the Jamestown
| Northern is expected to start up this month.
| When it is completed to Minnewaukon and the
| gap on the jamestown Southern is completed to
| Glendale, the west shore metropolis will have
| two competing routes to Chicago and the east.
| The completion of the Dunseith & Southeastern
will supply another competing line. Altogether,
our railroad prospect is certainly bright.
| The Black Hills Journal says: 1t would seem
that the boom for McMaster is not alone Black
Hills affair. Sanborn county has already in
structed its delegates for him, and the Pierre
Signal thinks the Hughes county delegates to
| the Republican territorial convention should
also support him. 1t is pretty evident that the
| name OF McMaster will be strong one in the
territorial conventions if upheld by solid Black
| Hills delegation.

Mclean and Stevens countless is remarkable
locality. A gentleman who recently visited it
says in place he the ground literally
covered with garter and ''strped' snakes, while
the bushes in the vicinity were bent over and
| loaded down with burden of the same kind
| Snakes were hanging by their tails from the
| boughs of trees, and squirmng all over the
| ground. He says the sight made him sick
Although the wheat yield promises to be very
| large, there is growing feeling, strengthened
by the low prices, that it is not best to rely upon
any one crop. The Grand Forks PlaindeaLey
! says: The time is not far distant, however,
| when north Dakota farming will be so diversified
that we will not Deepen d upon wheat; and even
if there should be d failure of staple, our
stock interests will tide over, and good times
| will be the regular order of the country. At
| present all will rejoice in the present beautiful
harvest, though our farmers will not forget that
diversity is the real success in agricultural
| country.
/ An unpleasantness has arisen between the
heads of the two papers at jamestown that is
] causing great alarm among their friends. OF
| course there is woman, Helen Barden, mixed
! up In the matter, which makes it so alarming.
| The largest unabridged dictionaries are strained
to relieye their lurid emotions, and it is proposed
to put both under bonds not to mutilate their
personal charms. A torrid current flows in the
veins OF both, and it is surmised that they are
familiar with ''pistols and coffee for two.'' One
them is regarded the handsomest editor in
! Dakota. and the other is saturnine and agile
much beyond even the average of Dakota poiti-
clans. The churches and society somewhat
equally divided on the issue and interests Of the
| nation, and even those of Delegate Raymond
are overweighed. The fact that one has a morn
| ing and the other evening paper may avert
| bloodshed, as neither would consent to let the
other have the local sensation first.
