Baptlzed IN the Lake.

The Baptist church Of this place will
continue to meet in the north wing Oi
the public schoolhouse until further no
tice. Rev. J. a. Marine will preach
there next Sunday ut II a. IN. and 1880 p.
m. From Baptist standpoint Sunday
last was a redletter day. The work OF
the new church began in the schoolhouse
where fair audiences gathered to hear
the gospel of the grace Of God. In the
afternoon the pastor baptized two candi-
dates in the lake, Dana's grove being Sc
lected as the most suitable place. So far
as known to us this is the first instance
in which "Devils lake" has been utilized
for Christian service.

A Land Decision,

WAsHINGToN, Sert. 15.-Col. Muldrow.
acting secretary Of the interior, made
an interesting decision in Il land case
coming from Devils Lake. Dak. II. c.
Hansbrough, Of that place, is one of its
most stirring citizens. He formerly
lived at Baraboo, Wis. and at Grand
Forks, Dak., editing there the Daily
News. Jan. 10, 1854, he was appointed
by President Arthur, postmaster at Dey-
lis Lake. Feb. 8 of that year he made
homestead entry about twelve miles
from Devils Lake. Gen. Sparks cam
celled his claim recently on the ground
of fnon-residence. Hansbrough appealed
and now the secretary decides that if
the postmaster has complied with the
postal laws requiring him to live within
the delivery limits of his Office he cam
not claim residence on u quarter section
of land twelve miles distant (north) from
Devils Lake, so the claim is to be cam
celled.
The land i'll question is within the de-
livery limits of the Devils Lake postof-
flee. Every settler whose land adjoins
the claim is patron Of this postoflice
now and has been ever since they set
tied there. Fully 40 residents Of the
northern part of this county, residing
from one to twelve miles north of the
cancelled claim, get their mail at the
Devils Lake Office and many Of them
have boxes here. Numerous atlidavits
to this effect can be obtained, and the
secretary will be asked to reopen the
case for Il hearing ON this important

A Sight to Sec.

If there be amy person in need of the
conviction that this is the sportsman $
paradise, that person should drop in ut
tho Bcnham house almost any evening
and watch the hunters and fishermen
unload their wagons. One evening this
week the INTER OCEAN scribe saw two
hunters unload - ducks Is of which
were elegant c:invasb backs, the remain
der mallards, redhcads and tcals. While
we stood over the birds a'miring the
fine long bcaks and rich brown heads of

These scenes are of daily occurrence
now.

Great Falls.
Burlington Reporter.

George T. Carpenter, of Devils Lake,
is here on return from Great Falls, Mont.
MIR. Carpenter does not speak very en-
couragingly Of that town. lie says there
are two general merchandise st ores, six
saloons, one millinery store, q sawmill, a
large hotel and flour mill run by steam
power, with u capacity of about 100 bar
rels per day, not now running for want
OF grain and there is no prospect of any
this season unless shipped in from some
other locality. as the country is better
adapted to stockraising than to farming.
There are only about $50 people in the
town. a dam is now being built across
the river. At the great falls Of the Mis-.
souri, there is II fall of 90 feet. These
falls are thirty-three miles above Fort
Benton and twelve miles below the pres.
ent townsitc. Real estate is held at
high prices in and around the town, lots
selling at from $500 to $1,000 each, and
the purchaser must build n house within
a certain time. Business of all kinds is
dull, and there is very little doing in
that part Of the country.

CON NIENT,

The foregoing atlidavi.s are in reply
to one question out Of four which were
asked Mr.. Mahcr last week. lie does
not reply to the other three, which are
more important than the first.
While Mr.. Maher is in the affidavit
business it would be good idea to have
some swearing done IN regard to the
questions asked him recently by George
Fulton. Mr.. Fulton asked him five
straight questions, but he has failed to
give u straight answer to any Of them.
What the people want to know, Mr..
Mahcr, is whether the county moneys
are being loaned on short time security
by you or any OF your friends?
In regard to your Office being invcsti-
gated by the county commissioners, you
are perhaps aware that it has been in.
vcstga,ed, and that the county is $339.5O
bette. of on that account. The county
was fortunate in having Il board that
made you let 90. That S339.5O stuck
to your waXcy hands for nearly year,
and then you didn't want to let 20.
You say the people Of Ramsey county
cant he bamboozlcd. The ISr%K-O OCEAN
agrees with you in this fact, but you will
not give up trying to bamboozlc them
until they sit on you Nov. =, A. D. 1856.
You also assert that the people of Ram
~cy county know the editor Of the | Il
rEE.OcEAS very well. You are very
kind in saying so. They might know
Us still better if we had been IN the land
business. They might know US better
if we had been q trce-claim broker with
u notarial seal in our office. They might
know US better if we had ATTEMPTED to
beat a widow woman out Of her land, and
threatened to "starvc her out" if she
didn't give it up. They might know us
better if we had followed the rclinquish-
mcnt business ir. Grand Forks and had
taken money from a man who didn't
forget to come back from Canada and
90 into the courts to get it. "Thc peo.
pie Of Ramsey county can't be bamboo.
zlcd." Some of them know .you very we'll.
1t is true that the editor OF the INTER-
OCEAN is on your bond. having signed it
two years ago. You signed our bond as
postmaster three years ago, and in going
on your bond we simply returned the
favor" George Washington once lifted
his hat and bowed to Il man who had
been convicted Of chicken stealing.
"Why, General" " said friend Of the i'm
mortal George, edo you speak to man
Of that charactcrY' Gle lifted his hat
an! bowed to me" replied Washington;
II will not permit even q chicken thief
70 he more polite than | am" In this
respect we are like Washington we
will not permit any man to outdo US in
courtesy. The consollny feature Of our
being one OF your bondsmen, however,
is that there are thirteen others it isn't
like being alone.
The columns of the INTER OCEAN are
open to anything else Mr.. Maher may
| want to say.

On the flush pastures of June the

Work horses need substantial fare.
and the less grass the better. Take
care that the cows or sheep do not

Keep the pigs in the orchard IL pos

pick up the blasted fruit for the

around the trees. Ewes with lambs
need regular care. that they are not
too much weakened by the draft
upon them, and it is well TO increase
their grain as the lambs gain size.

This is the busiest of months for
the farmer Corn planting. which
is planting" par excellence, over a
large part of the country is not over
before corn tillage presses, for the
weeds grow very fast, and the grass
grows, too, so that haying ought to
begin. Millet and fodder corn must
be sowed and in many sections Swe-
dish turnips or rutabagas need to
be in as early as the 18th, though in
Others good crops may be depended
upon when sowed n month later.
Those who have orchard grass and
clover in some fields will be glad
that they may begin the hay harvest
by cutting these long before timothy
and red-top meadows are ready for
the moving machine. This saves a
great deal of worry, and when the
timothy is ripe it may be cut at once
if proper calculations have been
made. As to the age when timothy
should be cut, it is well to bear in
mind that for ones own use it can
hardly be cut too green after the
heads are well out, but for sale for
city feeding it is preferred as old rs
it can be without the seed Smelling
off from the heads. 1t is used not
SO much as nutriment as for bulky
food with oats or ground food
