| Gen. w. s. Clark is in Sc. Paul assisting
in arranging for the annual meeting OF the
Army OF the Tennessee
Samples OF ripe tomatoes were had at Bis
marck July 25. 1t has been supposed
they could not be ripened in this section.
! Mandan shows By its postoffice business a
| larger advance in the past two years than al
most any town in Dakota, rising from 81, loo
| to 81, 800.
Farmers who sowed frosted wheat in
Walsh and some other counties north will
have light crops. 1t is the poorest economy
to use defective seed.
r. T. Kngman has 1000 acres OF wheat
near Hillsboro that will, t is chained, thresh
5o,o 600 bushels. He expects to net $4,000,
which Is fair for a dull season and low prices.
The Deadwood Times and Pioneer are urg-
ing the nomination of Sam McMasters,
superintendent of the Homestake mines,
for the Republican congressional nomina-
ton.
Geo. 81. Root, driver on the Bismarck
and Fort Yates stage route, in racing with a

wheels and was killed. He was about SO and
came from Pierre.
Fargo real estate firm claims to have
sold farm Of 20S0 acres near Valley City
the past week at about $40 an acre; also
lots In Fargo for $780, 900. 1t indicates move
ment in Dakota dirt.
The Casselton Reporter has samples of
wheat from the 900 acres Of Noble s. Delam-
eter, Pennsylvania gentlemen who have
bonanza farm near that place, which it
says will yield not less than 30 bushels to
the acre, or27 900 bushels.
1t is believed that the Ward case and trial
coming to her ears had something to do with
the sickness of the matron of Col. Donan' IS
proposed excursion and its consequent fail
ure. They were unwilling to receive atten-
tons from the party referred to, and saw no
easy way to escape except by not going.
The Inter State in Deuel. county puts the
average yield of wheat in that section at
fifteen bushels, and says that it is not as good
as last year. Dakota paper never bears on the
wheat question, and their figures may gen
orally be regarded as robust. Still the aver
age of the territory will so above fifteen
bushels from the best information obtaiuable.
The Grand Forks Cadet band, on their re-
turn from Minneapolis Saturday morning,
| improved the hour of their stay in Fargo by
marching to and serenading the morning
papers. Major Maglone received them at
the Argus and responded to their music in
his most felictous manner. They marched
| away behind burning cigars. Their style and

The DEVILS Lake Inter Ocean opened it's
batteries upon Hon. Geo, Fl. Walsh, when
the latter spent few weeks rusticating
| upon the banks of the lake, upon the theory
that Walsh was in some mysterious way,
working against Delegate Raymond while
he was innocently pretending to be fishing.
The gentleman claims that he played off on
the ingenious editor. Still Mr. Walsh has
no thought of declining the nomination.
He would periodically sacrifice himself for
| the common good.
While the late hail storm west of Fargo did
not cover very large scope of country it
made clean work of some farms. The Buttz
boys few miles west of Lisbon lost, as they
| estimate, 10000 bushels of wheat, and are
perhaps the largest suffers but not the worst,
as they can pull through, but some who had
their land mortgaged, and depended on the
crop to live as well as to meet payments,
are badly off. These storms seems to be dis
tributed over the territory quite impartially,
although the most destructive in south Da-
kota and the Black Hills.
The Bismarck Tribune says At a meeting
of the residents of McHenry county, Tuesday,
the delegates to the Pierre convention was
instructed for McMasters. of the Black Hills.
1t would seem by this that the McMasters
boom is by no means local" This Is the
county about which so much sport was made
because the Bismarck people forced the Huron
convention to admit Col. Potter, of Fargo, to
represent it. So far as known, it has no
residents, is not organized and not included
In the call for the Pierre convention Pos
sibly Bismarck will again have use for it.
The Mandan Pioneer learns from an officer
of the Rock Island railroad that it is the in
tention OF the company to push their
road through to the Missouri at an early day
The objective point of the road is Miles City,
and in order to get there the road must go

the Cannon Ball river. II has not yet been
definitely settled by the company whether it
will cross the Missouri at Mandan or whether
it will cross the Big Muddy near the mouth of
the Cannon Ball and follow the stream west
and strike the Little Missouri or Powder river.
1t is not probable that anything will be done
this season more than to run surveys.
Trail is one of the pioneer counties in the
Red river valley, and the Hilsboro Banner
has this glowing report Of the prospect for
wheat: Reports from all parts Of Trail
county are most encouraging for an
immense crop of No. 1 hard. Never in its
history has it been so universally favored
with rain, cool nights, and in fact, just the
right kind of weather to make the kern els
large and plump. There is scarcely farmer
but who is certain Of from % to 80 bushels,
at least, TO the acre, while some claim good
prospects for 40 bushels. This, with the
acreage sown, viii doubtless give Trail the
first place in the yield this year. Ten days
or two weeks will see some of our farmers
reaping the golden harvest"
The recent decision of the commissioner
OF the q. s. land Office those parties COM
muting and proving up on claims must not
only show breaking but land in cultivation
to crop, is extremely unsatisfactory and
regarded as unwarranted, unless parties 90
on the land just the right time in the spring
