Winchester, A. E. Nugent, L. A.
Simpson, Judge Campbell. Fifty-eight
couples took part in the grand ball of
the evening, aud under the sadly I'M
| favorable circumstances, the exercises
were successfully completed. The
music was furnished by the Fort Keogh
orchestra.
1t is estimated that about 10000
Texan and Minnesota cattle will be
shipped into the Bad Lands and the
surrounding country this spring. The
natural advantages of that section for
maturing 6eeves have never been pro-
| perly set forth. The rough and rugged
bu.tes form the finest of natural shelters.
The grasses are nutritious and f%attening,
retaining their nutritive qualities
throughout the severest of winters.
Wood, coal, in fact every thing neces-
sary to the construction and mainte-
nance of the cattle ranch is found in
abundance. What more, then, is de-
sired? Those contemplating an invest
ment in live stock will be fully repaid
for any trouble in investigation of this
comparatively unknown region.
Fargo Forum: Senator J.. H. Worst
of Williamsport, was in the city to-day
on his way from Bottinean, where he adj
dressed the teachers institute Tuesday.
The senator is one of the most brilliant
orators in the state, and takes a deep
interest in educational matters. Speak
ing of state and national politics he said:
"It is certainly to the best interests of
the state and party to give u officials a
second term, unless the officer has
shown by his acts. that he is
unfit for the Office. The out
look at present is that Governor
Burke and Lieutenant Governor Roger
Allin will succeed themselves. If Sec
rotary of State Flittie is out of the race
Major Hamilton should have the position
if he wants it. He is competent and
would fill the office honorably. The at
tempt to knife Congressman johnson I
deem a political crime and has died the
death it deserved. For d new congress-
man representing a new stare Mr.. John
son has made a splendid record, he has
grasped intelligently every opportunity
which has presented itself and should
certainly be returned to congress.
jamestown Alert: The Northern Pa
clhc company by a recent order of the
general manager, requires all employees
and all applicants for positions, to give a
personal record of themselves, which
among other information, shows their
service and experience in railroading,
and the various r.ads and positions in
which they have worked. The record
Of Flagman Robert Cowley of this place
is worth printing in the Alert's railroad
items. He was born in Stockton-on-
Tees, England; is eighty years of age,
has been in the railroad service for sixty
eight years, beginning in 1924, on the
Stockton & Darlington road, in England,
that being the second railway built in
that island, and on which he assisted in
it's construction. He came to America
in 1858 and began work for the Great
Western, working on different lines until
1870 when he came to the service of the
Northern Pacific. He was present at the
laying of the first rail, and had charge
of the %surfacing Of the line between
Northern Pacific Junction and Brainerd.
He is undoubtedly the oldest employe of
the Northern Pacific company, having
been in its service continually for
t%wenty-one years. Mr.. Cowley is proud
of his descent from his ancestor the gre;
English poet, Cowley; he is fond OF
poetry, repeating many poems of Robert
Burns without al error. He writes 6
bold hand, and reads without glasses
When asked the other day if he had re.
covered his second sight, he said: 'Why
mon, I never lost my first" He is strong
and hearty and prides himself on his
vigorous physical condition.
