twenty years n thinks more of it now
than before.
A dispatch from Pierre announces the
safe arrival of the Rosbeud at that place.
Emmons County Record: The dele
gates to the district fair meeting held an
adjourned session in Bismarck, Tuesday.
1t was determined to go ahead and have a
fair. That's right. If the Slope can't hold a
fair this season, it never can. Attorney
Parker, of this county, made a spirited
and able address in favor of a fair.
The case of the Second National bank
of Grand Forks VS.. James M. Swan, as
sheriff of Grand Forks county, was filed
in the office of the clerk of the supreme
court Saturday. This is a replevin
action, and will be heard by the court at
their October term. Burke Corbett ap-
pears for the bank and Bosard & Van
Wormer for Swan.
The case of Gould vs. the Duluth &
Dakota Elevator Co. was docketed in the
clerks office, supreme court, Wednesday.
This comes up from Cass county and will
be argued by j. E. Robinson for Gould
and A. G. Davis contra. 1t is unique in
the practice of the state court thus far in
that both parties appeal from the judg-
ment rendered by the trial judge.
Word came over the wire Friday
morning Of a case of robbery and double
murder this side of Fargo Thursday
night. Three tramps we're taking a
ride in a box car east bound. Two of
the three had some money. The train
stopped at a station and the same car
was boarded by several other tramps
who, upon learning that two of their new
companions had money, robbed and
threw them from the train while run
ming at full speed, killing them both.
No futher particulars could be learned
last night.
North Dakota cities are now flooded
with eastern travelling men, taking Or
ders for all sorts of goods-competing, of
course, with local merchants. They can
compete because they pay no taxes and
do not help support the local government
in any way. There ought to be
a heavy license tax on this class of
men. In justice to those men who en-
gage in business, erect business blocks
and residences, support local newspapers
and contribute in every way to the up
building of a community these travelling
agents who bear none of the burdens,
ought to be taxed.
jamestown Alert: A car load Of wild
animals from the country south of the
National Park was in the city to-day for
a short time being fed and watered.
They belonged to Austin Corbin, presi-
dent of the Reading railroad, and are in
tended for his large preserve in New
Hampshire. The car contained seven
teen elk, two cub bears and an antelope.
Mr.. Corbin is gathering together a num-
Der of American animals that are liable
to become extinct, and intends to pre-
serve the species of each, if possible, in
his New England park.
As the sos train, which was an hour
late, pulled out from the depot Fri
day evening seven or eight tramps
mounted it, but were discovered by the
brakeman, who stopped the train and
put them off. Parties who watched the
movements of the hobos when the train
again started say they certainly boarded
it again, as they were nowhere to be
found. The tramps were offered work
by a farmer before the train arrived, but
they very graciously declined the prof
fered favor, saying they were going to
jamestown and Fargo.
Grand Forks Plaindealer: Forty
freight trains of average length are re-
CURED to transport 100000 bushels of
wheat, and 1000 trains would be required
to draw the 100000 bushels given
as the estimate of North Dakota's crop.
Seventy-ive thousand freight cars would
be required to hold it, or 1000 cargoes of
$4,000 bushels each. The matter of trans
portation, then, is an important one
Having raised the wheat in North d.
ota we must get it to the New Highlander
and to the Old Highlander. Without rail-
roads, of course, there would be no agri-
culture, worth mentioning, in the North
west. If there was no surplus to trans
port there would be no railroads. The
interests Of the people and of the rail
roads are mutual and both parties should
be fair. Certainly this year a
the farmers have so much patronage to
give, the railroads should give the best
possible rates for transportation.
