stand the loss. II they do not they
should be searched for and prosecuted.
The Minneapolis Tribune has a string
of Bismarck postofice items, and furnishe
one each day or so. They nov say that
the officials at the postoflce department
are at a loss to determine why the
North Dakota delegation does not recon-
mend a postmaster for Bismarck. They
say Bogue will be removed as soon as
the senators and representatives agree
on his successor. Senator Casey de-
clines to move in the matter for the pres
emit. Bogue's enemies have created q
commotion but seem afraid to push
through their schemes.
Mandan Pioneer: Mandan chapter,
No, 10, R. A. NJ, will soon be in opera
ton. The organization of this chapter
has been brought about by reason of
the division of Missouri chapter No. l,
the jurisdiction of which included the
territory west Of the river to the Mon
tana line. This territory now is in the
jurisdiction of the Mandan chapter and
that east of the river to Fargo is in the
Missouri chapter. Mr.. ]. II. Fleming
will be the H. P. of the Mandan chap
ter, and DR.. E. W. Read companion
scribe. .
Fargo Forum: Bogue is still post
master at Bismarck, although the immac-
ulate Wanny has asked the senators to
recommend hiH successor and kindly sug-
gested that Congressman johnson would
be permitted to acquiesce. MI. John
sons opinion of Nj. Wannamaker is not
of the most sanguine, and he said Mr..
Bogue suited him very we'll. Bogue
came over the sand and foot hills from
Yankton along the Missouri river away
back in 1879, with General Williams,
driving an OK team. He is a friend of
Alex McKenzie's, appointed by Senator
Pierce and will probably stay in. A
good fellow with all.
Harvey Harris: I had an enjoyable
time, but, ever though I was in the
water melon country I am glad to get
back to North Dakota. When we went
down to the convention on the LIST of
August, I remarked that vegetation in
this state was greener and more thriving
than in any other, and in returning from
this last trip, I was forced, on looking
over the country, to make the same re-
mark. Despite the warm weather,
vegetation Of all kinds is still in a thriv-
ing condition. Wheat in the eastern
part of the state is not SO heavy as was
expected, but it's quality improves as you
come westward, and I think the slope is
in the lead this year.
G. M. Dahl: L am receiving. daily,
from the grand c~onclave of the Knights
Of Pythias, at Kansas City, the proceed
ings, which are published in pamphlet
form at the end of each days session.
The occasion is a grand one. But then,
so are Burleigh county's prospects. An
Ecklund township farmer, with whom I
was talking yesterday, informed me that
his wheat was without any doubt better
than that of last year, and that the grain
on neiRhboring farms was the same.
While the northern part of the county
seems to have been more favored than
the southern, the average there, even,
will be in the neighborhood of fifteen
bushels, and the average for the county
from seventeen to twenty. The slope is
prosperous this year, surely.
F. G.. Barkman, coast agent for the
Continental Life Insurance company,
who stopped off in the city a day or 30
visiting friends in this section, left for
Steele, yesterday, to pass Sunday with
friends there. Mr.. Barkman has an ex-
tensive acquaintance on the coast, and
numbers among his friends many old
time Bismarckers. On his last trip from
the coast he met L. N. Griffin, who, Nj.
Barkman says, is not doing much in q
business way; 81. H. Day, the jeweler,
who is doing very we'll; Judge Parker,
formerly of Steele, who is now municipal
Judge at Tacoma. Tom Neil, formerly
editor of the Dawson STANDARD, who is
now engaged in the bottling of mineral
waters. and making money rapidly, and
many others, formerly North Dakotans'
Mr.. Barkman expressed himself as
pleased at the looks Of the state, and it's
favorable prospects.
