Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1890-06-27
TOXIN TALK,

Landlord BLY,: It would be a good
plan to have the irrigation appropriation
changed to a sewerage appropriation.
P. B. Wiokham: The insurance bust
ness is immense. I have great success
wherever 1 go. The crops in Kidder
look fine.
W. s. Moorhouse: I have sold twelve
two-horse oultivators-all l had-and
one mower I expect another car of ma
chinery to-day.
Clerk Hoskins: Yes, we had a great
time at Fargo. There was a good attend
ance and but for the rain it would have
been a complete success.
Travelling a Capt. Mccarthy died
of heart disease in Fargo Thursday morn
ing. Mccarthy is we'll known to all
Grand Army men IN North Dakota.
George Gussner: My cash sales dur,
ing the past month exceed those of the
same period in 1889 about $3.50, and my
trade is much larger than last year.
Frank Moorhouse: Fargo can have
the annual fremen's tournament as long
as she wants it, I guess. The other cities
made no apparent effort to secure it.
Bismarck could have gotten it for next
year if desired.
Deputy Treasurer Douglass: 1t
rained hard at Fargo this (Thursday)
morning, and just as we we're leaving
Jamestown ats o'clock IN the evening I
never saw it rain so hard before in my
life. We heard at Fargo that James
town, Mandan and Bismarck had been
swept from the face of the earth by a
cyclone.
Doug. Pratt: I came down from Bu-
ford to-day. Am clerk on the steamer
Bachelor. It may surprise you to learn
that all of Tom Fortunes horses were
stolen up at Buford the other day. He
wa working on a large government con-
tract there and had a good many teams
of work horses.
E. H. Wilson: While riding down the
line on the train 1 asked the conductor
why it was the circus will charge US but
so cents admission fee when heretofore
they always taxed a dollar-and invaria-
bly, got it when we had it. He said that
we we're a territory then, now we're a
state. l understand they will raise the
price to 81 after crossing the river.
One who was at the fight: It was a
dandy fight and we'll worth the dollar
charged to see it. There was a biz
crowd present. Gleason forced the fight
the first four rounds until he drew blood
on Hayes nose, then he lodged the rest
of the fifteen rounds. Hayes couldn't
get at him. He is quicker than Hayes
and has a longer reach. Hayes could
knock him out in five rounds if he had a
good head on him. He didn't follow up
his advantages. The referee was a good
one,
J. ". Connella, Seattle: About the
only s%easonable luxury here is straw
berries. They are fresh, delicious and
cheap; everybody eats them three times
a day. There are also good vegetables
here, but the meats are abominable. I
meet people here every day that 1 knew
in Dakota. The country is literally full
of them, and if you get a few good crops
there you will have a bigger immigration
from the west than ever came from the
east. All farming here is on a small
scale. Ten acres cleared is considered a
big ranch and is quoted at from 500 to
to $500 an acre. I have been in the
country but very little and don't know
how they make 1t pay, but small fruits
are the principal products. The large
towns on the sound are not dependent
IN the agricultural interest for support,
shipping being the all important indus
try. In the big commission house here
is a conspicuous sign reading: "North
Dakota creamery butter; the best on
earth"
