j. II. Kelly, representing the Grand
Forks Plain Dealer, is in the city. Mr.,

him.
Mr.. Wood, who represents Cutler &
Gilbert of Duluth, is in town andreports
great demand this year for the lime and
other material in which his house deals
Mr.. Wood admres the Cataract city, and
expects to see large business transacted
between it and Duluth
Captain Stouch of the Third infantry,
who is in town, says that he will leave
Fort Shaw with regret when the order
to march comes. He says the four COM
panies Of the Twenty fifth will arrive at
Cascade on Saturday in a Manitoba train
and the Fort Shaw companies, which are
bound for Fort Smelling will leave by the
same train. The entire movement is to
be completed by June 1. Three com
panies will go from Fort Shaw to Fort
Smelling; the other, Captain Hale's, will
go to Sisseton, Dakota. Captain Stouch
praises this climate and predicts that set
Element will be followed by higher rain
fall. In Kansas he found that after a
weeks rain the ground would be dry, but
since the fields have been titled the earth
retains the moisture and brings about a
heavy rainfall. 1t appears that while the
Fort Shaw gardens are in good condition
those at Smelling are backward owing to
the late spring in that region.
There is quite an encampment now
near the Fern dock.
Among the Park hotel arrivals are: J.
B. Glenn, Georgia; George Mitchell, St.
Paul; E. Scott, Anaconda j. L. Taylor,
Helena; NJ kaufman, Benton; i. F'
Mann and T. A. Wall, Otter Creek.
Among those noted as being present in
the Tribune's report of Saturdays repub-
lican convention were the RingWald
brothers. 1t ought probably to be men
toned that they were simply there as
"lookers on" and not as participants in
the proceedings, both being uncompro-
missing democrots. When the latter have
their convention Ernest and Harry will
be occupying front seats and their voices
will be heard proclaiming democratic
doctrine and shaping democratic policy.
There was a spirited meeting of the
board Of trade on Saturday evening. The
attendance was large and the proceedings
interesting. The wool circular was read

port of the committee on organization was

Harris, Myers, Wernecke, Chowen. A
strong address was made by Mr. Glib
son on the best way to attract settlers and
steps were taken in accordance Herewith.
The meeting adjourned until this even

timely address. The public is invited to
