Brief Items of Interest From all
Parts of Dakola

At the municipal elections this month for
the first time has there been any general at
tempt to recognize party lines. Most of the
prominent cities have at least nominally tried
party tickets. They have not been able TO
draw party lines or enforce much discipline,
but IL is accepted start in the direction
of better local governments, as political par
ties can be held in measure responsible for
the administrations. The papers on both
sides agree that this method will do much to
break down rings and improve the local con-
ditions. In several localities the Democrats
have reason TO feel gratited at the results.
A striking illustration OF the sanitary and
recuperative qualities of the Dakota climate
is shown in the case of W. ID. Dolph, for
merry OF Hastings. Mich. A year or so ago
he was supposed TO be dying from chronic
disease of the intestines. nothing passing
them for four months. He was reduced to
seventy-eight pounds In weight, being barely
able 10 be moved, and, rs n last resort, was
brought TO Dakota. arriving in an uncon-
scious condition. He at once began TO
mend, and in three months weighed I6s
pounds. He Is now a resident of Larimore
and the picture OF rugged health.
The Pioneer names among the young men
OF the Larlmore section who have improved
the winter in securing wives in the East:
II. d. Henry, married at Plain, Wis; J. H.
Matthews, who found Viola Tompkins at
Cornwall. n. v. and James Moreland, mar
ried in Ontario. 1t also mentions one or two
young ladies who have visited the East
aud brought back husbands. They all
wanted 10 make their homes in Dakota. 1t is
stated that, with hardly an exception, the
young farmers were able 10 return with
wives. Others have provided for similar
events when they get a crop.
One farmer who has grown wheat on the
Pembina river for twelve years gives a differ
ent experience from that OF some others I'm
sowing frosted wheat. He has sowed 1t re-
nd L.,
heads filling. He says he will SOW his whole
farm this spring with frosted seed, and his
neighbors will do the same. The only differ
ence he has found Is that little more seed is
required. This is OF some importance in the
extreme north, where there Is often wheat
caught by the frost, which will not grade.
In Grand Forks and perhaps one or two
other counties by special laws of the last
legislature, the fee system was abolished and
liberal salaries paid county officers. 1t is
claimed that the change has saved Grand
Forks county $4,000 already. Similar re-
suits would be had in all the older counties,
and IL is believed a great number of the coun-
ties will be asking for the change next win
ter. There will be strong opposition to IL. as
the pockets OF officials will suffer in conse-
quence.
Some of the papers insist that the scheme
broached at Washington 10 submit these
propositions TO the voters OF Dakota is a de-
vic of Gov. Ordway, who Is still a bugbear
TO many OF those who have been in the habit
of looking at him as a schemer and conspira-
tor. The triple project does not meet any
considerable favor In any quarter, as the
friends of each plan want II run by itself
don't want to risk II In a crowd.
