Mckinley Binding Twine.

We have patiently waited for the

for the Mckinley bill which caused a
reduction from l6c. and 1Sc. a pound
for binding twine to l0c. and lie. a
pound, but not one has had the
honesty to acknowledge the good
features of the bull. The organs are
more liably to condemn it the same as
they did when they were given 6 to 20

the 9 to II pounds under the old tariff.

this the chief city Of prohibition,
North Dakota. The justice feestfor
the two months aggregated s4sl.so,
and the fines and costs collected
$3ls.25, leaving net amount paid
by the city of Sl7s.55 for justice
fees. Meals furnished prisoners
during the two months cost the city
s10l.60, or total amount of $2sO.l5.
To this must be added the salaries
of the two additional police officers,
at 500 each per month, or $24o more,
which goes to swell the extra ex-
pense account Of the city to $500.
With such an experience as this
with the virtues of the prohibitory
law, Grand Forks will be very likely
with the remainder of the. state to
follow the example of Iowa in
throwing off the prohibition yoke
at the earliest opportunity. Grand

Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1891-11-12

If the people Of North Dakota at
the last general election had set up
three posts somewhere near Grand
Forks and labeled them "Property
of. Jim Hill," they would seemingly
have accomplished as much as they
did in electing our present railroad
commissioners. Leaving all other
causes for complaint against the
Great Northern railway out of the
question the present discrimination
in wheat freights from here to Min
neapolis is enough to warrant i'm
mediate action on the part Of these
ahonest'' industrious? officials We're
they half as jealous in the interests
of the people as they are OF the
railroads. Langdon pays larger
freight rate on her wheat shipped to
Minneapolis or Duluth than any
other town in the state the same
distance to these cities. At present
the town of Neche on the main line
is able to pay four cents more per
hundred for wheat than Langdon
and it is only about twenty miles
nearer Minneapolis than we are.
Neche elevators and grain shippers
pay nineteen cents per hundred for
grain shipped to Minneapolis while
Langdon dealers pay rate of TWEEN
ty-three cents per hundred. Devils
Lake is four miles nearer Minneap-
oils than Langdon and it pays a rate
of twenty-one cents per hundred.
Why the Great Northern railway
should thus discriminate against
this city at the expense of our busi-
ness and agricultural interests is
more than we can imagine. But
such is the fact, and the sooner our
board Of railroad commissioners gets
| a move on and makes an effort to
right this wrong the more apprecia-
ton our people will have of. their
capabilities for the office to which
they were elected.

Our republican brethren pretend
to be highly efated over McKinley's
victory in Ohio, which, they claim,
being fought out on national issues,
will greatly effect the next presiden-
tial election. They forget that in
the campaign in Massachusetts Gov.
Russell placed the issue of "tariff re-
form and tax reduction first, and
made it paramount to all other
issues and the people Of the old
Bay State sustained him and he will
occupy the gubernatorial chair for
another term. They also forget to
give proper credit to the protected
trusts for the Doodle which they
cheerfully contributed and which
did more for the election Of Bill
Mckinley than the advocation of
the Mckinley Bill.

Tho Grent Colony.

Col. y. M. Towner, accompanied by
his private secretary, Orr, Saunders,
and Major J. G.. Hamilton, of Grand
Forks, came in from the east Monday
and Immediately proceeded to do busi-
ness in connection with his gigantic
colonization scheme. The first move
made was the filing of 124 soldiers de-
claratory statements. The land select
ed is in townships 1853 and 159, range
IS, from six to ten miles northeast of
Cando in Towner county. The land is
somewhat rolling but the quality of
the soil is unsurpassed. On Tuesday
the colonel sent in seventeen addi-
tional filings, making a total of al
quarter sections, on each of which he
guarantees to place a settler next
spring. While the colonel was doing
business in the land Office Major Ham
ilton and Mr.. Saunders were examin-
ing titles of a number of farms in the
northern part of this county. The
land in question is unoccupied and is
owned by mortgage companies. Col.
Towner expects to purchase a large
quantity of land of this description.
He will purchase none, however, that
is now occupied by settler. The aim
of the company is to bring in new set
tlers-not to drive anyone out. Col.
Towner left Wednesday for Chicago,
where he expects to meet representa-
tives of the colony, and will return
and show them the land.-Inter-

hours of twelve and one o'clock and
robbed the safe of it's contents, amount

shows that it was done by some parties
that knew Kieffer & Regan had left an
amount of money in the safe, which
they never did before. A night watch

Additions to North Dakota.

ST. PAUL, Nov. Give haye now
secured $50, ,0UO acres of land in North
Dakota for barley farms, and next
spring we will send thousands of Ger
man emigrants to that state from Ohio,
West Virginia and Indiana: Col.
O. NJ. Towner, general manager Of the
Edgmoor Land Syndicate, this evening
to a Pioneer Press reporter, as he dis
cussed the future of the great northern
state. Colonel Towner is maSager of
what is best known as the barley syn
dicate of Chicago. During the last two
or three months the company has sue
ceeded in securing $50, 900 acres of land
in North Dakota, on which it is pro-
posed to place German farmers to
raise barley for malt purposes. These
lands have been purchased in Nelson,
Ramsey, Towner, Ramsey, Steele and
Bottineau counties. The opinion of
the managers of this company is that
barley can, be most successfully grown
in that state and they have conviction
of their belief sufficiently to purchase
these lands and to send out emigrants
from other states. Germans are
chosen on account of their knowledge
of barley culture for this purpose.
These emigrants will not be tenants
but owners of land, it being sold to
them on easy terms. Crops will be
bought by the company and shipped to
all points where there is demand for
barley for brewing purposes. The
colonel goes west tomorrow in company
with another party of eastern capital
lists who think of investing in the new
enterprise.
