1t appears that August Wahl offered to
sell himself to Satterlund, bnt when his Of
fer was spurned aside, he thought to cover
up his own iniquity by making an affidavit
that Blomquist tried to buy him. Since
the above letter was put in type, we have
received the following affidavit bearing
upon the same subject:

that he is acquainted with August Wahl who re-

Sheep for North Dakota,

From the Fort Benton, Mont, River
Press: The exodus of stock sheep from
Northern Montana to North Dakota still
continues. Fifteen Thousand head were
purchased in this vicinity last week and
will be forwarded by the great Northern as
soon as cars can be obtained. Of this
number j. M. Hawkins, representing E. M.
ProutY, of Grand Forks, N. D., bought 1O,-
600 head comprising two of the best bands
Of grade merinos on the Teton, those of
Hobbins & Hefferman and Hamel 4 Zim-
norman, and a band from the aocks of the
extensive Cooper-Martin Sheep Company,
and 1913 thoroughbred Shropshire bucks
from Selmos s. Arlington. Sheep raising
has been found very profitable in North
Dakota, and Mr.. Prouty will lease these
sheep to the farmers there on easy terms.

The average yield of potatoes in Mani
toba this year is estimated at between 300
and 400 bushels per acre, and the quality
good. The price realized by growers at
Winnipeg, was from rs to 35 cents per
bushel, the bulk having been, purchased at
about 30 cents per bushel. This would
make the crop very profitable to the grow
ers, the value per acre being between $50
and 800 as compared with an average va
lue of wheat of probably not greater than
SIS per acre. The cost of growing pota-
toes is probably not any greater if as great
as wheat, so that the profit would be vast.
ly in favor of the potatoes. Nevertheless
nine out of ten Manitoba farmers would
probably prefer to grow wheat alone, rath-
er than 'bother" with any other crops.

To the Farmers of Mclean.

1 wish to say to my farmer friends who
are selling their wheat to the Mandan
Roller Miller company, through their local
agent here, C. T. LANCE, that they are be-
ing constantly robbed both in grade and
weight. I have a set of Fairbanks scales,
with a weighing capacity of 1000 pounds,
which are in perfect working order, and
to-day 1 put up 25 sacks of wheat which
weighed on my scales 1882 lbs. gross. l
brought it to Washburn and sold it to G.
T. LANCE, and received his wheat check for
81 bushels and 40 pounds-a clean steal OF
over four bushels. Mr.. LANCE graded my
wheat No. 1 northern, while every man com
potent to Judge of wheat, as we'll as myself,
knows that it will grade No. l hard in any
fair market in the country.
I have raised wheat for 20 years, and
have handled more wheat than this man
LANCE aver saw, and I know I am capable
of Judging the grade of wheat. The secret
of this treatment is not alone attributable
to politics, but to a natural dishonesty on
the part of the man. Nearly every farmer
in this county, who has sold wheat to Mr.
LANCE, has complained of similar treat
ment-a pre-meditated system of swind'
ling. If the farmers can stand this any
longer, I am willing they should, but ]
protest against it. Mr.. LANCE is now beg
ging the farmers support for county audi
tor, but he will not get my vote.

EDITOR LEADER: A. G. Ranard is run
ming over the county asking people to vote
for him for county county Judge, a posi-
tion he has disgraced by his love for whis-
Ky. Everybody in the county knows that
Ranard gets drunk every time that he
comes to Washburn to do any business.
Will the people vote for Ranard? Can the
learned temperance advocate, Anton Peter
son, vote for Ranard? This is a very i'm
portant office. It is to the interest of ev-
cry man, woman and child in Mclean
county that a sober man be elected county
Judge. Voters, see that the name of
William Lacy is on your ticket. W.

EDITOR LEADER: A rumor has reached
me that a person named August Wahl is cir
culating a report that l offered him a con-
sideration if he would vote for Satterlund.
To the people of Mclean county, 7 would
state that it is a base falsehood. I did ask
MI. VAIL why he opposed Mr.. satterlund.
He said that it was to his interest to do so;
but if he could get about 800, he would
not oppose Satterlund. I said that I did
not come up here to buy votes. I only
spoke in favor of John Satterlund as I had
known him over twenty years and l al
wl1s had found him to be square, fair
and q good, ~kind-hearted man.

A TRIBUTE TO STALEY.

WELLER, MCLEAN Co., N. D., Oct. 20.
EDITOR LEADER: I am greatly surpris-
ed to learn that J. G. Staley has accepted
the nomination for representative at the
hands of the rump convention, not that
Mr.. Staley's record as a christian gentle
man or as and good a true temperance work
er would for one moment prevent him from
accepting, but I have always given him
credit for being shrewd enough not to be
led into such a foul trap by the knaves
whom lie knows positively, only use him for
Representatives and principle being
only second consideration at most.
\. MI. Staley must have a terrible itching
for Office to be induced under any pretext
to allow his name to be used for the Office,
knowing full we'll that his conduct has not
been above suspicion, from his earliest res
idence in Mclean county. His acts have
been of such a nature that his character
has been in constant peril, to say nothing
about gaining for himself a warm place in
the hearts of the people in his county.
Mr.. Staley's near %neighbors are his most
bitter enemies, which can scarcely be con-
sidered a good recommendation for a rep
resentative man.
The miserable history of the Weller
school district, in which he has always fig
ured, as a prime mover, can in a large
measure be placed to his credit.
The unjust act of allowing large bills for
moving one s%chool-houso three times a.
gainst the wishes of the people having a
majority of children of school age, and the
building a second s~chool-house for the ben
eft of his family as teachers, with his own
private bills too numerous to mention,
are minor matters compared to robbing
the unfortunate school children of their
legitimate schooling. These are stubborn
facts that will long remain a monument to
Mr.. Staley's everlasting discredit.
Another matter rejecting seriously upon
the character of this would-be representa-
tive, is: The fraudulent endorsement of q
certain check made by one Henry Good
rich in favor of DR.. j. H. Moseley for med
ical services, the petty sum of ton dollars
being the object. This affair is on record
at q national bank at Bismarck. The check
is also in safe keeping for future use.
Can it be possible that citizens of the
29th district desire such a man to repre-
sent them in the next legislature? If this
is their wish, I I'm greatly mistaken in the
integrity and intelligence of the people.
Now is the proper time to demonstrate
tat such men are not desirable, and fore
ever settle the ambition of all men of this
class. Yours truly, AGATE.
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1890-11-01

We copy from the Bismarck Common
wealth the following comments on the sew
eral candidates for the legislature in Bur-
leigh county. Mr.. Oscar Ward receives a
high compliment, coming, as it does, from
a democratic source. John Philbrick is
also highly complimented, and the slight
reference to his political shrewdness will
certainly add force to his strength:
&c. B. Little is on both tickets, graceful
ly straddling the fence, and in his case
comment is unnecessary. Then we have
on one hand Philbrick and Ward, on the
other Hare and Yegen. Mr.. Ward seems
to be a capable man and we know of moth
ing against him. He has large property
interest here, pays taxes and is a good re-
liable citizen. Mr.. Philbrick is a kind of
a political adventurer, and q man who evil
IDENTIFY believes that ''all's fair in love or
war" He is we'll educated, shrewd, care
less of his reputation, has no property that
we ever heard of, and, we believe, is not q
taxpayer. Mr.. Yegen is a grocer, has conf
siderable property, is not much of a politi-
clan, and would hardly make statesman,
although he couldn't be much worse than
some of our lawmakers last winter. Mr..
Hare is a hardware merchant, a shrewd
business man, q tricky politician, has con-
siderable personal property. and would
take good care of himself If elected. If
Philbrick and Ward will do all in
their power to secure the reelection Of Gil
bert A. Pierce to the United States senate,
while if Hare and Yegen are elected they
will endeavor to dsfeat Mr.. Pierce and do
what Alex Mckenzie desires"

From the Yankton Press: Higher prices
for farm lands are paid in Sphinx county
than a year ago. There is no question a

will be irrigated by next summer. It is
anticipated that this will influence the tide
of immigration towards South Dakota.
