more and is pleased that at last farmers,
stockmen and citizens generally have
come to realize the Importance of a dis

G. A. Roberts in Fargo Argus: Ihave
just received a letter from my son Will,
who is out west of Mandan with the Rea
Bros. He says the night of the storm
they camped in a dry coulee. 1t COM
menced to rain about 8 o'clock and soon
the water commenced to rise and they
had to grab their clothes and run for
high land, leaving tent, sheep, cooking
utensils and everything. The next day
they found everything except twenty
sheep, the coffee pot and Willis grip.
The water was twenty feet deep where
they had had their camp.
Joseph Hare: What the farmers of
the slope ought to do is to establish a
market day. Suppose each Saturday,
or every other Saturday, everybody with
a COW or horse to sell would bring it to
Bismarck and in some part of the city
select a market ground. People who
wanted to buy would go there, and in
stead of going outside of the county to
purchase their stock the transactions
would take place here and the money be
kept at home. We do not know now
who has stock to sell and who has not.
I believe it would be a profitable
scheme.
