A HAPPY SURpR1sE.-Miss Hattie

about 60 of the scholars called upon

cream at the residence Of Herbert

Mr.. Moore, of the Leader, speaks
very pleasantly of the Cakes saloons.
MIR. Moore says the saloons here were
running III no sickly one-horse shape,
but sold the genuine article. We
Twill not attempt to dispute the state
ments of Mr. Moore, as we are firmly
convinced Mr.. Moore spoke from ex-
perience, you know. Ten more on
the ace, ell! Moore, Mr.? 1t WAS
lots Of fun when the saloons run
wide open just to get treed by The
Ellendale detectives.
The KENKEL FARM.-It was the
writer's pleasure one day this week
to visit Mr.. H. IL. kenkels fine bo-
nanza farm north of this city. This
is without doubt the finest farm,
naturally adapted for wheat raising
and stock growing, in this section
of North Dakota. The large pas
ture is given an abundant water
supply by the beautiful stream
known by the name Of Bear Creek,
which courses its silvery way across
this portion Of Mr.. Kenkel's domain.
This farm consists of about 1000
acres and as far as the eye can reacl.
there is now beautiful green sward
of either grain Or grass, and upon
inquiry as to the location Of the
farm we discovered that it was in
every direction one would look. The
buildings on the farm are rather
modest Suggestive Of the owner,
who wears his kingly honors so
gracefully but they are all substan-
tial and have recently been treated
to tasty coats of paint, which makes
the surroundings more in harmony
with "Chris.," the genial foreman,
and the hospitable proprietor.
While present at the farm Messrs.
Kenkel and Mccarthy appeared,
having sold three of their fine West
ern horses to one gentleman, Then
came the sport, or work, of lassoo-
ing and haltering the animals, which
was accomplished in less than an
hour. These horses are decidedly
the finest lot ever brought to Oakes,
and dozen or more of them have
been disposed of in less than one
'week. The Kenkel farm is certain
ly a bonanza to its owner, and this
section of the country is proud of it.
