Last Saturday we made trip to Conk.
ling and spent the time until Monday
morning visiting e1-Judge Heath and the
Allen brothers. We found the grain in
that vicinity ready to be garnered in, the
yield of which--of wheat-we estimate
will average 25 bushels per acre. Com'r
Allen and John Nicklin, who own self.
binder. had placed the machine In good
working order and on Monday morning
started harvest operations in Mr.. Njcklln's
wheat. The fields of James Heath, John
Allen and John W. Elliott were next to
follow in their order. and by the time this
item is read by the public the wheat on
these fields will probably be in tho shock.
Oats were rapidly maturing and promise
an immense yield, while the corn was forg'
ing ahead with wonderful rapidity. If
frost holds off three weeks longer the corn
crop of Mclean county will excel any pre-
vious year. There is no richer soil in the
whole state of North Dakota than can be
found around Conkting. and with this
years experience we predict the acreage
in that vicinity will be quadruplicated
next season.

Z Stanton Pilot: Last Friday Hon. John
Satterlund, A. B. Stricken, and the Pilot
man. drove to the farm of VIM. Priebe,
about miles northwest of Stanton. Mr..
Priebe is a German Russian who came to
Mercer county 5 years ago with nothing
but wife and family of small children,
and pair of willing hands as bread-win-
ners. He was assisted by some of his
countrymen who were in better circum-
stances, and managed to purchase team
of oxen, and COW on credit. For the first
two seasons he gathered bones, when not
breaking, and thus supported his family.
While Others were discouraged and leaving
the county this honest and industrious Ger
man was quietly at work opening his farm
and adding to his stock. Last season was
his first big crop, when he raised over 700
bushels of wheats besides oats, corn and
potatoes. This year he has in 1873 acres,
eighty of which is in wheat and the bal
ance is in fax, oats and barley. His house
and barn are built of stone and sod plas-
tered inside. He has sixteen head of cattle
and six head of horses and colts. He ex-
poets to pay all his debts with this crop and
have snug sum left to pay him for his
summers labor. There are farmers here
who are better fixed and have in larger
crops, but they came with means to open
land and purchase stock, while this man
has started on nothing with small family
Oh his hands.

The Fargo Argus says the supreme court
of the state has just rendered decision
in the case of J. b. Power VS.. the tax title
sharks which will be of interest to the
people all over the state. Mr.. Power had a
thousand acres of land involved and the
holders of tax titles on it demanded $4,000
for their claims. law contest followed
and the lower court held that N1r. Power
should refund the money paid by the tax
title holders with thirty per cent interest.
Appeal was taken and the supreme court
holds that the purchaser only had such
claim as was legal, and the tax deed being
void the purchaser loses his investment
without recourse. Illegal tax levy was the
ground upon which the case was contested.

John D. Mack and Isaac Hooper of Bis
marck, and Erard Woorster, the sheep
king of Glencoe, Emmons county, visited
Washburn last Sunday. Mr.. Mack came
up to look over the country and make ar
rangements to reopen and crop his big
farm north of town next year, and Messrs.
Hooper and Woorster accompanied him
ostensibly to view the wonderful fields of
golden grain in Mclean county and north
ern Burleigh. The sights made them de-
lerious with joy, and while Mack declared
he would plant 200 acres of wheat next
season. Woorster was strongly impressed
with the notion of placing a thousand or
more sheep in this vicinity. This idea
was highly gratifying to Ike Hooper, for
he. too, could see large returns through
their investments. Ike, you know, is head
man of the Gull River Lumber company
at Bismarck, and if the other two gentle
men carry out their plans, Mr.. Hooper will
have big sale of lumber for granaries
and sheep sheds.
