John Conway is spending a few days
at home. For several months he has
been one Of the bold, bad brakemen on
the Yellowstone division of the Northern
Pacific.
j. G. Sanders left on Wednesdays
west bound train, destined for Po-
c~atello, Idaho, where he intends to en-
gage in the cigar manufacturing indus
try. His goods went by freight Tues
day.
A. L. Hanscom of Towner was in the
city Tuesday to attend the meeting of
the state equalization board. Mr.. Hans
com is a brother of Geo. D., who will be
remembered by old-time Bismarckers as
the former business manager of the
TRIBUNE.
Tax Commissioner Fernald: I have
just finished the adjustment of the rail
road assessment in Montana. The board
finally decided upon the same ASSESS
ment as that in North Dakota last year.
It's pretty high, but the board and I
couldn't agree on everything.
Treasurer Booker: I haven't but a
few hours to remain, but I want to con-
graduate the Missouri slope on the
magnificent crop now being harvested.
Where's Jud LaMoure? I think he'll be
in Pembina tomorrow. I understand
he will go back to the coast in a few
days.
Dol. G. B. Little: I'm just back on a
little business. We will remain at Min
netonka for a couple of months yet if
the weather will permit, but l tell you
the air down there is nothing like North
Dakota ozone Minnetonka is all right
enough for a change, but for a steady
thing give me Bismarck.
H. F. Wogan Tuesday sent to the
TRIBUNE Office samples of grain cut
from a forty acre field which he has just
harvested, and which he says will aver
age twenty-five bushels to the acre. The
ground upon which the grain was raised
was plowed the last week in April, and
seeded by hand with forty pounds of
seed per acre.
Abner Hanscom, member of equaliza.
ton board from Towner county: Our
county is a stock county, but of course
there is some grain and it's fine. Our
county doesn't depend Oh crops and our
stockmen are getting we'll off. I am in
business and I tell you the trade of the
stockmen is worth having. They are
heavy buyers and always have cash.
The general passenger agent of the
Northern Pacific writes Agent Schwel-
lenbach of jamestown that if farmers
need any more harvest help, to notify the
company there and that in all probabili-
ty the men can be secured. 1t will be a
good plan for farmers to let the COM
pany know as far ahead as possible, that
no delay may be experienced in getting
the needed help.
The farmers must not underestimate
the Importance Of preserving a few sam
pies Of their grain and other products
this year. They will be wanted later in
the season. Let every farmer carefully
tie up a few punches of wheat and oats
cutting the straw as long as possible
or, what would be better, pull it up so
as to show the stool and roots. If a fair
is held this fall, those samples will be
almost Indispensable.
Travelling man: The boom out in the
coast country was an air bubble and the
bubble having reached the limit of its
initiation naturally bursted. That's
about the only way to express it now
People are coming back as fast as they
can and some of them can't get back
There don't seem to be employment fol-
anybody with almost everybody to do it
I know of lots of people who are to-day
subsisting wholly upon the fish they are
fortunate enough to catch in the
streams. When they can't catch fish
they go without food, as there is nothing
else for them.
The remaining work train crew com
pleted their labors for this summer a
the bridge Tuesday noon and the Ital
ians we're taken to Livingston last night
The Dagos took advantage of the brie:
respite from toll to array themselves il
their best Sunday clothes, some OF
which, like Joseph's coat, we're of varied
hues and patches. They received thei1
time checks from Timekeeper MANSFIELD
and we're happy with the prospect O
plenty of railroad work ahead. The fill
ing-in will be finished some time mex
year.
A. B. Guptill: I don't believe the du
ties of the state board of equalization,
will keep us but a few days. Their
seems to be more uniformity in assess
ment this year than usual. Yes, I hav'
a branch Office in Duluth. Skuse is will
