IT is undoubtedly true that the best
lands in Benson county are those within
the territory which it is proposed to an
mex to this county. 1t is no wonder,
then, that the townsite boomers of Ben
son are anxious to retain that territory
and can afford to give innumerable
"city lots" to have the election carried
for Benson county. If the majority of
the property-holders decide to stay with
Benson co1nty they will discover later
on that the burden of Taxation, owing to
the superior character of their property,
must be borne by them. In the coming
election they will have an opportunity
to vote themselves within the borders of
a county that is equally rich and pro-
ductive throughout, and their future
taxes will be much lighter in proportion.
The matter should be we'll considered.

Experience has taught tree plant
ers that Cottonwood Seedlings arc
n of the best species of deciduous trees
to plant on Timber Culture claims and
groves for the protection of farm houses,
stock ranches and various plantations.
Growing very fast, it makes valuable
timber in less than twenty years, and ten
acres would be worth a price few would
be willing to name. Owing to the excess
sive drought the past summer, cotton
wood yearlings did not grow large
enough to transplant. Two-year-olds
are scarce and more expensive to get out.
I have, however, a fine stock Of these
buried in the ground ready for early
spring planting. By a process Of my
W invention, I prepare Cottonwood
Cuttings so they will be sure to strike
roots. Many planters prefer these, al
they are cheaper and easier planted; but
they will require better prepared soil
and more hoelng. White Willow, Box
Elder, Hard Maple and Ash are so we'll
known that it is unnecessary to dwell
thereon. IT every one would try and
plant a few trees Of some kind where
they are needed, there would soon bo
many beautiful spots, atiording pleasure
to beast and birds, as we'll as man.

A Moose River Marriage.

Rev. Mr.. Converse officiating, and
the contracting parties being Mr.. G. A.
Cameron and Miss Georgietta MARBLE.
Mr.. Cameron has been a claim holder
on the Moose river for the past three
years and Miss MARBLE proved up yes
terday on a presumption which she has
held for two years near Mr.. Cameron's
land. Mrs. Cameron has occupied an
humble cottage during all this time, and
has been alone for weeks at a time.
The happy .coupla will return to- their
Moose river home tomorrow. The lady
is equally at home in the drawing-room
OF kitchen and her example might be
pro6tably emulated by many of the
Eastern bellies who would give a small
fortune to have the Dakota brides

The President's Private ONCE.

It is q large room and the president
sits atgthe back of it before the win
dows, behind a fiat mahogany desk. A
tall, fne-looking, w~ell-dressed man,
with hair that is fast turning grey, he
rises and shakes our hands. He mo-
tions us to seats, and we are at one in
the midst of business. As this goes on
| think of the history that has been en-
acted in this room. I see the various
cabinet meetings from the day of Ad-
ANS to that of Arthur, and wish the
walls were Photographs and could
give up the history they have seen. In
this room Andrew Jackson fought the
battles of Peggy Eaton, here. Martin
Van Buren, laid his fox-like plans, and
here John Tyler fought for his rights
all along through his stormy admins
tration. Here it was that Daniel
Webster laid down his policy as Secre-
tary of State, and here the bony CAL
houn stormed and Henry Clay coun-
selled with John Quincy Adams. Here
it was that Buchanan hesitated and
was deceived by his Confederate Sec
retaries plotting against the govern
ment, and in this very room Jefferson

Pierce, while he acted as his Secretary.
Here it was that Lincoln laid out his
war schemes, and in this very room
the plans were laid which put down the
greatest rebellion in the history of the
world. Here, too, johnson prepared
for his impeachment trial, Salmon P.
Chase schemed for the presidency
while he held the Treasury, and later
on Grant discussed the troubles of his
reign, and here it was that Belknap
received his dismissal. There is hard
~ a great man in u history who has
not spent some of the most important
periods of his life in this room. There
is hardly a political n who. thinks
himself great who has not been over

inflated by the scenes which, if these

On her throat two wounds were discov-

COMMISSIONER CREEL should resign his
position on the board. Ifhe fails to do
80 of his own motion, the citizens of the
second district should demand it. The
1NTER-OcEAN does not care to state the
reasons which makes Mr.. Creel's resig.
nation necessary; the people through
out the county are familiar with the
facts. We have always claimed that
he is not a fit man for public Office, and
if his former acts were not sufficient to
justify the claim, this Hodgson affair
fills the void.

Tiffany he sent the money; discoveeed
negligence in his clerk on his return
from Huron. e
Witness was certain it was all owing
to the negligence of his clerk in not
sending the money; Havrevold vas with
him up to time of the fire.
The amount of the checks drawn by
Creel in favor of Walker is $6O.5O.
o. B. Corset being called said Hodg-
sons check to Walker would be cred
tied to the latter.
Creel recalled: Stated to Tiffany he
feared the money had never reached
Grand Forks; also to Hodgson. Wit
ness said he had offered to make resti-
tuition.
This closed the testimony. The dis
trict attorney said Creel's statement was
very improbable. Putting 1902 in an
envelope does not look like business.
1t was strange that the matter had been
allowed to 60 eight or nine months.
The theory that it was the clerks fault
or the fires fault was improbable, and
looked very much like n theory pre-
pared by the defense.
Mr.. Brooke in making his argu-
ment in the Creel case, claimed
that the complaint charged Creel with
taking the same money from two part
les, and that there was no evidence to
show that the money wa not sent to
the land office at Grand Forks. Justice
Noble bound Creel over to the district
court in $500 bonds, which were pro-
cured.

Mr.. Rittenhouse and family arrived

They have been out to Wolsey, a little
town of about 200 inhabitants and 300
miles west of Winnipeg. He says there
is a large. band of Indians within six
miles of Wolsey; that they are raiding
the country there and helping them
selves there to whatever. they want
from the white settlers. About 200
settlers left that region in company
with him and will nearly all locate in
Dakota. People are afraid of their lives
and are fleeing from the Indians as rap
idly as they can gather up their house
hold effects; and, again, they have no
guarantee that they can own their land
after living or it and improving it for
two or three years, as the Hudson Bay
company or the Canadian Pacific rail-
way is liable to step in and claim. it as
their apportionment from the Canadian
government at any time.

The Number That will Come This
Way from Europe.
Minneapolis Journal.

An exodus Of 100000 emigrants from
Europe has commenced. All of them
| will locate in the west and northwest.
1t is expected that the work of trans
ferring them will require all summer
and extend late into the fall, and that
large daily special trains will be neces-
sarily run to accomplish this. A prom.
inent railroad man of Chicago gave an
interesting story of how the corpora.
tons have clutched one another by the
throat to obtain the balance of power in
the carrying trade of the west. He
said: "The recent rate wal of the trunk
lines between New York and Chicago
resulted largely from the Grand Trunk
and West Shore insisting upon the diff
%ferential rate This means that $l.5O
extra was asked as their right on each
New York and Chicago passenger, as
their lines of road we're that much
longer than the competing roads.
When this wa denied them o whole
sale slaughter began, which resulted in
the Pennsylvania Central at one fell
swoop dropping to 81 per capita on all
passengers from New York to Chicago.
At the same time 100000 tickets at this
rate were thrown upon the European
markets, where they were readily taken
up by the steamship companies. The
tcentral haa-oxpootod by thia Tout off
your own nose act to compel the Grand
Trunk and West Shore to make this
same rate, which the Central knew
meant worse ruin to them than to it,
because each have many miles longer
pull, and the West Shore has not sufi-
cient cars to do such a carrying business
on such ahort notice. Indeed, a similar
step by the West Shore would undoubt-
eddy have glutted it and brought it to
the wall. To the great Disappointment
and surprise of the Central, neither of
its opponents took the bait, but re.
established former rates. Thus the
Central was left alone with an European
elephant on its hands. This unparal-
leled reduction enabled the steamship
agents to make a rate from Liverpool to
Chicago Of $3.50. Now let's see what
the Central is, going to make on each of
these cheap passengers. It costs sixty
cents per capita to get them out of
Castle Garden, and another twenty
cents for transfer in New York city be-
fore it can begin to carry them. This
leaves just twenty cents to the company
for 1000 miles travel. Naturally the
seat of war was changed to Chicago
when this arrangement was known, and
all the western trunk lines began
struggling for this business west of Chi
cago."
