The person who furnishes items to a
newspaper is always a valuable friend
to the editor. Many persons hesitate
about sending personal notes to the
newspaper regarding the movement of
friends lest the newspaper man should
think them too anxious TO see their
names in print. He will think nothing
of the kind, but, on the contrary, he is
glad to get such notes. Many seeming
ly unimportant items. when printed.
are news to a large number Of readers.
We would rather live in graveyard
and listen perp;tually to funeral dirge
than to try to be prosperous where the
| leading men of town have no faith in
its future and are always predicting
some disappointment or dire calamity.
1t was the exercise of lively faith--a
faith as strong as Hercules and as agile
as the limbs of gymnast that built
the most of our cities. Heaven is be-
ing populated by faith and he'll is being
filed by the want of it. The people of
a prosperous town have faith in each
other, faith in the virtue and faith OF
God, and they forge ahead as though
they were going to live forever and
then have new lease of life. The
doubter and the growler are the worst
enemies of progress-a sort Of night

There is sufficient coin of the realm in
possession of the treasurer of Williams
port school township to pay order No
1O6, for 800, issued in the name of Miss
Edna F. Connor. Said order, with inter
est thereon to date of call, entities the
holder thereof to $105. It was called
through notice by mail to the original
holder on Dec. 8, and interest ceases Dec.
Is. The aforesaid treasurer would like
to have the bloated monopolist who now
holds this security send 1t in and ret
his money before it Is too late, as 1t gives
him sore eyes every time he takes it out
of the stocking to look at it, and the low
railroad rates to Canada are standing
temptation. If not called for soon it may
lead to lifelong regret - that there
wasn't more, 1t may, if not legally dis.
sipated in the near future, cause great
Gaping wound to come in the reputation
of the before mentioned treasurer, and
he doesn't want it injured at one hundred
and five dollars a gap. Delay might
also prove disastrous to his bondsmen
and lead to each of them being called on
to haul load of wood to the school
house as basis of compromise. O yes

In the Matter of Estrays.

Many Of our citizens do not seem to
fully understand the provisions of the
estray laws of the territory, and for this
reason we publish synopsis thereof.
When any one in Emmons county takes
up an cstray animal it is his duty to have
published for three successive weeks, in
some newspaper printed in the county, a
notice of such taking up. The expense
of such publication he shall pay at once,
taking receipt from the publisher there
for. If the owner calls for his stock
within. three weeks after the first inser-
ton OF the notice. and pays the expense
Of advertising and keeping, he shall be
entitled to his stock. If he does not
claim the stock within three weeks after
the first insertion Of the notice, the finder
shall go before a justice of the peace and
make oath as to the finding and advertis-
ing, The justice then appoints three ap-
praisers, and upon their report advertises
the property for three weeks. The per.
son claiming said property must pay all
charges before recovering the same. II
the property Is not claimed within one
year, and has been appraised at not more
than $50, it then belongs to the party
taking it up; if over $50, it shall be ad-
vertlsed by the justice aud sold, and the
excess of all expenses shall be paid over
to the county treasurer Any person
taking up an estray and neglectlng to
cause the same to be advertised and an
praised shall be liable to fine of s25.
The estray law in like manner also ap-
plies to any other personal property
which may be found.

- PER YEAR, IN ADVANCE.

garding chattel mortgages and the sales
under them. There is too little publicity
about tho sales as at present made, and
too great an opportunity for the creditor,
or some friend in partnership with him,
to buy in the property, frequently at less
than half its value, for want of competi-
ten. An exchange speaks of the sale of
span of horses which cost $3.50 for
$125, and yoke of oxen worth $3.50 for
S75. This is robbery, and kind of rob-
berry which grinds the poor man, and
against which the law should protect
him. The remedy lies in greater publicity
of sales, either by advertisement in le-
cal newspaper of general circulation, or
by bills conspicuously printed and posted
throughout the neighborlng country, to
attract attention and assure the presence
of sufficient persons to make reasonable
competition.

other Mild Winters.

An old settler writes as follows to tbs
Fargo Argus: The winter of 1871 was
very mild, even more so than that Of
1877 There was freeze in November,
and for short time Red river could be
crossed on the ice but it turned warm
again, the ice melted, and the river was
open until after Christmas. Some time
in January another frost came, but il
was not very cold, and as yet we had had
no snow to speak of, In February it was
mild and pleasant. and we had rain and
thunder but in March we had pretty
severe freeze and considerable snow.

DEAR SIR : Mr. G. B. Corbln, of your
county, who is now under our treatment
for sore eyes. has asked me to report to
you his present condition. He arrived
here two weeks ago in a terrible state,
but is now doing splendidly. His eyes
are improving nicely. His sight is almost
gone, from liberation of the cornea, but
he does not suffer now. He IS perfectly
easy, and is ready to go home as soon as
his money comes. 1t IS useless for him
to stay here under expense any longer,
for we can now treat him as we'll at his
home as here. From this time on he will
need no treatment but what he can use
himself. Respectfully,

A December Picnic.

A basket picnic in Dakota on Dec. is
a novelty, to be sure but such an event
took place at jamestown last Saturday.
The weather was fine, and half the city
turned out to participate. A procession
was formed and marched through the
principal streets, headed by the Light
Guard Drum Corps, followed bya pla-
toou of police, mayor and council IN
white hats and linen busters and carrying
palmleaf fans; wagon with iced lemon
ade, ice-cream, ETC.; prominent citizens
in carriages, and 200 people on foot,
dressed in summer costumes. The pro.
cesslon halted in Fuller's Grove, where
the picnickers spent the afternoon in the
usual picnic festivities.

What Is in a Name.

The name Dakota has value in all
the wheat markets of the world, says the
st. Paul Globe. Dakota wheat is known
the world over, ranking highest in quail
ity and price. and great deal of it is
grown on North Dakota soil. If North
Dakota comes into the sisterhood of
states under new name it will take some
time for foreign wheat-buy ers to adjust
themselves to the change and learn that
Lincoln wheat, or Harrison wheat, or
whatever may be the name of the new
state, is grown on what was once Dakota
soil, and is the same grain once quoted
as Dakota wheat. Under the circum-
stances we are inclined to the opinion
that Congress should waive its prejudice
against north and south states and allow
both ends of the greatest wheat growing
territory in the world to retain the adj.
vantage possessed in the present name.

The North Dakota admission conven-

The North Dakota admission conven-
tion held at Jamestown last week was
harmonious and enthusiastic. Ex-Gov.
Pierce was elected chairman, and Editor
Tuttle, of the Mandan Pioneer, was
chosen one of the secretaries. The fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, By the people of North Da-
kota, in convention assembled
l. That we favor the division of Da-
kota Territory on the seventh standard
parallel, and the immediate admission of
the northern portion into the union of
states.
2. That we are emphatically in favor
of the name of North Dakota for the
proposed new state.
8. That the Fiftieth Congress should
provide for the admission Of Nerth Da.
kota. -, ,.sszs.
E4. That, in case the Fiftieth Congress
fails to provide for the admission of
North Dakota as state, we earnestly re-
quest the President elect to call an extra
session of the Fifty-6rst Congress for
that purpose.
S. That the eighteenth legislative as.
sembly of Dakota Territory is urged to
provide, at the earliest practicable mo.
ment after its meeting IN January, 1889,
for a constitutional convention for North
Dakota,
6. That South Dakota, Montana and
Washington are respectfully invited TO
Cooperate with North Dakota in this
movement for admission.

IT is not likely that the herd law will
ever be repealed and people compelled to
fence. 1t would cost a hundred times as
much as the value of the free pasture oh.
tainable. There is one change, however,
that could be made in the law which, we
believe, would be indorsed by nlne-tenths
of the people in agricultural sections.
Nearly every farmer has more or less
stock. He generally puts them in pub
lie herd, and few have fenced pastures.
About Nov. 1 the herd must be brought
home to avoid the possible coming of in-
clement weather. Fenced pastures, too,
are short at that time, and the stock
would do much better outside. By Nov.
1 there is scarcely anything that can be in
jured by stock, and the trifing expense
of few posts, and a little ,barb.wire
would protect everything. Now, Nov.
1 is not the end of the grazing season by
any means. For stock horses there is no
end of the grazing season, and frequently
cattle can get their living from the prai-
rie at intervals all winter. Take this
season, for instance--here II is Dec. H.
and the haystacks still untouched. "But,"
some one may say, ''How about the tree
claims? They would have to be fenced"
Not at all. Stock likes to browse off
of cottonwood, to be sure; but, in the
light of present knowledge respecting
tree-culture on the upland prairie, he
who attempts to raise cottonwoods extern
sively there must be tenderfoot indeed.
Ash.leaved maple (box-elder) is, par ex-
cellence, the tlmber-claim tree for this
region. Stock don't like it, and they
would no mere damage it than they
would lnjure q stone. quarry by eating
the stones. As matter of fact stock
does run at large after it comes from the
herd, and thousands of dollars worth of
hay is thereby saved in every county;
but the law allows trespassing stock to be
taken up, even after the time when the
harm it can do is inconslderable, and its
only privilege of grazing on the common
is based on the forbearance OF neigbors.
One or two men who could protect them.
selves by the outlay of a few dollars for
fence, but who prefer investments other
than stock, could, if they wished, cause
all the horses and cattleof aneighbor-
hood to be kept in their owners stables
and fed, even during the fairest of fall
and winter weather. And no one could
much blame the man who keeps no stock
for impoundlng trespassing animals. The
law gives him that right and he sees no
reason why, with the law in his favor, he
should suffer damage or be put to expense
for the benefit of others. 1t isn't human
nature to think otherwise. If he doesn't
take up the tresspassers 1t is because he
is good neighbor and considers the
great trouble Of restraining stock after
the public herds are disbanded. But if
the law were so amended that stock could
not be taken up for trespasslng, between
Nov. and April 1, it would certainly
subserve the greatest good of much
the greatest number. The wealth OF
Dakota is in her grass and the system
which will most cheaply put the grass in
side her live stock is the one that viii
most rapidly bring that wealth into use.
