ing mill.
The chamber of commerce at Grand Forks
are taking steps to secure an oil mill there

The recent ruling of the land department t
at Washington that all proofs of claims must
be made before United States officials is
provoking profanity even in Dlkota
Frank Hatton has appointed W. II. Johns,
Democrat, postmaster at Grotop and it is
