son, Wis, through Illinois, Iowa. Mis-
souri,, and all the way down to the gulf,
Genes the sad cry of overflow, drowning
stock and fleeing citizens. Surely Dakota
is more favored.
Merchant Connor started for Bismarck
yesterday
+ Commissioned James B. Gayton has
new--boy, of course--about week old.
Farmer Bottomley made flying visit
to Bismarck, via Livena, returning Mon
day.
Wash Hawks lost 1ne mare--his best
about week ago. He made every eff.
fort to save her, but was unsuccessful.
How's this for a healthful country7
Dr. Petit has sold Is cents worth of
drugs since lie came down about two
weeks ago. {
WIN. Gardner, recently of Gayton
Township. is on his way to Washington
Territory.
Mr.. Eugene F. Sivalia has filed D. s.
on W ht Of or and hf e or, 14-133-
78, in Gayton Township.
Mr.. o. H. Hammond, of Horsehead,
was In town yesterday on business with
the county treasurer. He reports the
crops locking we'll over that way.
There is no line of goods sold 10 which
the public is so little posted regarding
values as that of Drugs. For this reason
the buyer should always deal where be
knows he will get the worth Of his money.
And we have never heard citizen of
Emmens County complain of his treat
ment by Dunn s. Co., Bismarck.
= Frank Hart has new scheme it is \
patent harness. He has it 10 arranged
with break -pins-or, more like 1t, break
buckles that when he wants to unhar-
ness all he has to do is to run front
wheel against hitching.post and the
broncho walks cut of his gear. At least
that's the way the thing worked as Frank
drove up to Mr.. Shields door the other
day.
George Jennings, the Bismarck grocer,
whose store is on the corner of Main and
Fifth streets, is building up splendid
reputation for fair dealing among the
people of the Missouri Slope. And one
reason therefor is that he keeps fresh
and pure stock at all times and his prices
are reasonable. The well.known firm of
McCrory & Co., butchers and general
meat.dealers, are in the same building.
St. Paul Globe, II. 8. Fairchilds ca.
blegram from Berlin to the Globe this
morning brings the gratifying lntslli.
gence that wheat Is going to reach the
dollar and half mark this year. Mr..
Fairchild has been spending several
months in Europe, and. as he is an OBJ
serving man, he generally hits the mark
when he makes prediction. The Globe
can assure its readers that when Mr.
Fairchild predicts that wheat is going to
touch dollar and half this year he has
good reason for thinking so.
The register of deeds and the invalid
commissioner went down to the Beaver
Creek country Monday, going as fur up
Billsport Tuesday. They brought home
some very fine fish which they said they
had "heoked"--i e., caught with q
heek..... Ben Corbin reports the loss of
several fine animals, Monday night, from
the flsh-corral that he has dug alongside
of Beaver Creek. They probably went
over the dam with the tide, which rises
very high on Beaver during the full of
the moon. Separate items.
Sergeant Sherwood. signal officer At
Bismarck, predicts the following weather
for June There will he one day IN four
clear and one dayin four cloudy. The
rainfall will average OIL of an inch
daily, and rain will fall on an average of
one day in three. The most frequent direc-
ton Of the wind will be east, with an av.
erage hourly velocity of seven miles.
The highest velocity will not exceed fifty
miles per hour. It Is not probable that
there will be killing" frost during the
month, although light frests may be ex-
pected during the first three days. Thun.
der storms may be expected during the
month.
Among the Bismarck Tribune railroad
yarns this week is paragraph to the ef-
feet that everything will be in readiness
for track-laylng as soon as the gap of 40
miles is graded So far as this i'm plies
tn at the gap" is now being graded it IS
incorrect. This is truly astonishing when
we consider how phenomcnally reliable
and prophetic is the railroad intelligence
dished up daily by the Tribune. The
truth is that permanent survey of the
gap" has not yet been completed If
the A.. B. s. N. w. gets far into North
Dakota before snow flies 1t will have to
show much more activity IN the near fu-
ture than 1t has in the recent past.
Tribune It seems to be the conclusion
of the general land Office that the trees on
a timber-claim must he cultivated eight
years before the claimant can prove up.
The time IS now actually computed from
the date when the last five acres are
planted, and not from the time the entry
is made. Several proofs have been made
at the Bismarck office, and patents is
sued. on four and five years cultivation.
The law reads '.eight years cultivation of
the trees, and to cultivate them eight
years they must be planted eight years.
This view, if adhered to, will knock the
tree claim business, as IT. will bankrupt
the average holder to comply with this
literal Interpretation of the law.
