In the event that a fair should be de-
cided upon this fall it is important that
the farmers preserve samples of fine
grain and vegetables. Samples should
be procured anyhow, as it is the inten-
ton of the Bismarck Board Of Trade to
arrange a permanent exhibit this fall,
that the scores of strangers who stop off
at Bismarck to investigate may know
what is being raised in the vicinity.
Word comes from Pierre that the "Big
Muddy" is doing a considerable amount
Of washing away of real estate. It is es-
timated that nearly a half mile of valua-
BILE townsite-a strip about 100 feet wide
has been lost. Buildings are being
moved back to keep them from falling in
the river. The current seems to have
changed and the sandy bank rapidly
gives way to the maddening waters.
Emmons county Record: Major Dickey
and Messrs. Thomas Bottomley and
Steve WEIGH came down Friday from
Bismarck. Steve will assist in haying
and the major will act as superintend-
ent and see that Thomas, Steve and
the other boys do faithful work. Mr..
Bottomley got home after dark, but he
couldn't sleep until he took the lantern
and inspected that field of ~six-foot
oats.
Commissioner Helgesen: Such crops
all over the state I never saw before.
You will be a little ahead of the Red
river valley harvesting, but even here the
grain is late. Up at Crystal I found the
highest wheat I eve saw. 1t was nearly
six feet high. It will yield enormous.
My department is now flooded with en-
q%uiries about North Dakota. The state
is all right. I believe there will be a
great immigration next season.
One of the leading business men of
Bismarck wrote to Thos. Lowry recent
ly and asked for information concerning
the building of the 500 road to this city.
The answer was shown to a TRIBUNE re-
porter Friday. It stated that the road
would in all probability reach Bismarck
in the early spring; that it might reach
here this fall. but it was doubtful. AS
Mr.. Lowry's signature was affixed to the
letter, it may be considered official.
Either from thoughtlessness or sheer
neglect cattle are allowed to Craze along
the Northern Pacific right of way. It
not only endangers human life but
causes any amount of annoyance to train
men. These cattle are very tame and
often cross ahead of a train. The switch
engine is now hauling heavy loads from
Mandan, and it is not supplied with air
brakes, and should it strike a COW a ter
rible wreck would be the result.
Stanton Pilot: Several of the German
settlers who settled on the indemnity
strip before the survey-and who neg
lected to file on their claims at the Bis
marck land office before the railroad
company made their selections-are con-
testing the company's claim to their
lands. The general land commissioner
has advised them to present their filings
at the Bismarck land office supported by
witnesses to testify to improvements and
date of settlement, and if their filings
are rejected to appeal at Washington.
Mr.. o. S. Willard, of Aberdeen, S. D.,
was in the city Friday. Mr.. Willard
has been in the agricultural implement
business in Dakota for several years.
He is now travelling in the interest of the
Aultman, Taylor Manufacturing COM
pany. He has been pretty much all
over North Dakota and he confirms the
favorable reports Of the coming harvest.
When asked if there had been sufficient
rain in the vicinity Of Aberdeen he said
there had not, although crops look fair.
AS regards South Dakota politics he
simply confirmed the theory of Mr.. Nc
Cay-that the devil was on top.
st. Paul Dispatch: Gov. Burke of
North Dakota, passed through the city
this morning on his way to the Grand
Army encampment at Detroit. 1--WE have
a large delegation from North Dakota"
said he, land we are looking forward to
a very pleasant trip. I expect to enjoy
the rest I will get at the encampment
very much. While everybody in ourpart
of the country is too busy with crops
and business to talk politics just now, I
have been kept very busy in my office.
Politics will be nowhere this fall. The
wheat crop will take up all the interest.
We have never had anything like it since
the state was settled"
Pierre Capital: The steamer Batche-
lor will arrive from Bismarck some time
to-day. She will load up with six car
loads of coal for Fort Bennett at this
