COLUMBUS, June 12.-The strike of ore
handlers at the ore docks at Ashtabula,
which has been in progress for several

A Growing Enterprise.

A Growing Enterprise.
That the settlers of North Dakota are
taking advantage of the tree bounty law
is attested by the number of trees and
cuttings shipped from Bismarck this
season. James Holland, who has been
engaged in the tree business for the past
three years, states that thus far this seas
on he has shipped over 100000 trees
and 100000 cuttings to different points
in the state, and that he has orders for
more than that amount to fill this fall.
He thinks that he will be able to double
his business next year. 1t is q good in
dication, at least, that the people of this
state are becoming interested IN the
future, and with a few favorable seasons
Dakota's plains will have enough timber
standing to break the monotony Of the
landscape and furnish fuel for her
settlers.
