The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1891-12-05

The Fargo Forum, Major Edwards new
paper, is at hand. To say that it is ga
sumner" goes without dispute. The tone
of the Forum, its pithy, cutting editorial
notes, it's unhampered criticisms of cor
porations and political snap-dragons all
indicate that it will soon become one of
the most popular journals in the state.
The majors friends in the northwest are
legion, and the Forum will be hailed every
where with delight. Send for the daily
only SIS year.
The new warehouse just constructed by
Ramsett, Haugeberg & Co., is especially
designed for the accommodation of the
customers of the proprietors. FarmaFf
residing at distance, and who do theie
trading elsewhere, must not expect to get
their wheat into it, and therefore it will
not be policy for them to bring their wheat
to Washburn, with the expectation of
selling it here this winter, without first
corresponding with the owners. They
have fixed the amount they will allow each
man, and we understand they have already
contracted for enough to about fill the
building. A word to the wise is. sufficient.
Mr.. Buckbee, of the U. S. Sheep Co., of
Fargo, through the Mandan Pioneer, gives
Kelly, conductor of freight train on the
N. P. road, terrible roast for unmannerly
treatment of passengers. The N. p. will
probably bounce the offensive conductor,
or reduce him to the rank of brakeman
until he learns how to discharge his duty
toward the patrons of that road.
Bismarck Tribune: Marshal Price has
received orders from Judge Thomas, who
is in Denver holding court, to adjourn the
terms of United States district and circuit
courts to be held at Fargo from November
80 to the first Tuesday in January, and the
Grand Forks term will be opened December
8, one week later than the day previously
set.
Minot Journal: Otto Le1diger, formef
resident of Minot who dealt in sswet gro
ceries'' was arrested in the Flathead valley,
the fore part of this week, and taken to
Helena. Selling whiskey to the Indians
is the charge. It is quite likely that he
has his put foot into it pretty deep this
time and will probably get couple years
for his indiscretion.
Bismarck Tribune: Before United
States Commissioner Allen yesterday was
submitted batch of testimony to show
that Winn Roberts had been guilty of TAX
ing some dead scrub cedars from lands
owned by the government out in the Bad
Lands. Roberts was placed under bonds
and case continued. 1t looks like scaly
case.

Some Harrisville folks are drilling a
tes. well on the W. P. Braham farm, and
thereby hang some tails-sheep tails.
Part of the spudding was done last Sat
urday and the well was shut down over
Sunday.
On Monday they ran the 15-inch bit to
complete the spudding and it struck some
thing soft-very soft. One Of the drill
ers remarked that it felt as though they
were drilling in wool, and Mr.. Barnes, the
contractor was puzzled regarding it. How
ever they drilled away for while and
then they ran the sand pump, and sure
enough they had been drilling in wool, for
it came up full of sheep pelt, tails, feet and
heads. They brought up three sheep heads
and Mr.. Braham says he lost four sheep.
1t was the strongest find ever found in
an oil (f) WELL
The explanation of it is this. Mr.. Bra
ham raises Merinos, which are a small
breed of sheep. Sunday was hot day and
the sheep crawled under the floor of the
derrick to keep cool and some of them were
crowded into the ffteen-inch hole, and
were smothered or drowned by the time
the drillers went to work next morning
1t was an amusing incident for every
body but the owner of the sheep and the
sheep themselves.

Young Man or Young Woman This is
Addressed to You.

The following from the Huntingdon Local
News suits US so well that we reproduce
it, substituting only the name of THE But
LER CITIZEN for the News.
We want a correspondent in, and the
news from every borough and township in
the county. We invite young men and
young ladies to send US an account of the
events transpiring in their respective local
tiles when they occur. Manuscripts will
be revised if they need revision. Send us
news-news only-not disquisitions on sub
jects in which the readers Of the THE CIT-
IZEN have no interest. Neither do We care
to print exaggerated descriptions ofpersons
or places, and offensive personal reflections
must be omitted. To be able to put yonr
thoughts on paper fit for publication, is an
accomplishment of which every young man
or woman should be proud. No matter what
your education may be, successful journal
ism is attained only by practice. The most
uoted in that profession were born and
schooled, not in the cities, but in the coun-
try. Some of those who have made their
mark in the world of journalism began
their work by writing for local newspapers.
1t is field that offers greater opportuni-
ties for advancement than any other now
open to the possessors of bright minds
The gathering up and writing Of news
amounts almost to genius in some per-
sons, but no one knows what he may be
able to do in that direction until he tries.

The Columbian Express, via Pennsyl-
vania Railroad.

The new fast train to Chicago by the
Pennsylvania Railroad which entered the
service on June 7th as the Chicago Special
has been rechristened "The Columbian Ex-
press" in honor of the great fair. In be-
slowing this title on the new train, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has taken
the initiative among the railroads in reeog
nizing the merits Of the Worlds ExpoSi
tion by providing special facilities for the
comfortable and speedy movement of
visitors. The train is particularly worthy
of bearing the honored title. 1t is the
ripest example of train construction as it
contains accommodations for those who
desire luxrious apartments as well as for
those who seek the comforts of a well ap-
pointed passenger coach. The Pullman
drawing room sleeping and dining cars,
and its CHEEKY passenger coaches, are all
vestibuled. The Columbian Express leaves
New York 400 P. NJ; Philadelphia 6 %;
p. NJ; Harrisburg $50 p. NJ. every day,
arriving at Chicago 5.15 P. NJ. the next
day.
