MIR. and Mrs. W. F. Winter were
among the arrivals on Saturday even
ing's train. They have had a pleasant
eight weeks tour throughout the East
ern states and Canada, and will now
settle down in their new home on Oak

Col. Bidlake received letter from
Gov. Burke acknowledging the receipt
of an invitation to the first annual ball
of Co. E, and regretting his inability
to be present, owing to the fact that
Mrs. Burke was in poor health which
necessitated visit to an Eastern re-

would accompang her.
G. w. Andrews and Miss Addie Nc
Guin represented Walhalla at the ball
Tuesday night. Charlie says he will
soon become the editor of the Walhalla
Ripsaw, a tri-monthly periodical
means that he will get out one issue
and try to get out the next. There
must be something in it as Chas. sports
new plug hat-the first respectable
headgear that we have known him to
possess.
Never before in the history of Lang
don has there been such large stocks of
merchandise laid in by our local mer-
chants as this year. There is now no
excuse for anybody to patronize such
''sheeny' houses as Montgomery, Ward
&C.,, T. M. Roberts. and other for
eign concerns. Our own merchants
have their capital invested here; they
pay taxes and probably do more than
any other class of business men to
build up a country. They have done
well by their customers during the
three years Of poor crops and now nat
urally expect your custom.
Judge Templeton: The action
brought by farmer against the Min
neapolis & Northern Elevator Co., to
compel them to store his wheat for the
statuatory price of 2 cents per bushel,
was submitted to me on Saturday at
Grand Forks, and rendered decis-
ion Saturday evening. The elevator
claimed that it was willing to store
wheat at q cents per bushel and I held
that as long as they, being public
corporation, should receive whe at for
storage, they must accept the price
fixed in the statue therefor until they
came into court and showed that.such
statuatory charge was unreasonable,
and below the cost of such service.
This was the only question at issue in
that particular case; the question as to
whether corporation organized to
carry on the wheat business could be
compelled to store wheat is they did
not want to did not arise. This COM
pany admitted that they were storing
wheat. The question of the reason
ableness of the statuatory storage
charge was not raised either. I held
that the court would presume it to be
reasonable until,it was shown to be
otherwise. Fargo Argus.
| Some of the sold hunters mentioned
in the article on chicken shooting which
appeared in Sundays Minneapolis
Times, should load their guns with salt
and begin '.still hunt'' for the author
Of the following, who will no doubt
prove to be police court reporter:
Each man has one or more dogs,
either pointers or 'retrievers'' being
the best. : The dogs will beat about
the edge of the way snuffing for the
birds, and when covey is discovered,
twill charge upon them at the word of
the MASTER" While hard luck has been
the general rule SO far. there are fine
prospects for the s.late fall shooting
and the hunters who were disapp pointed
at first expect to reap a erich harvest
later on. .
# that is the way the ..sold hunters
OF Minneapolis hunt chickens it is no
wonder their luck is poor, and we assure
them II will not improve as the season
advances.
