Fargo Argus: About twenty teams
with a large number of men arrived in
Fargo from Sioux City, Iowa, having
driven the whole distance. The trip has
occupied about twenty days, but the
men say that reports of a bountiful har-
vest induced them to come to North

Jamestown Alert: Roadmaster Fletcher
says firebreaks are now being constructed
along this division of the Northern Pa

side of the track, 200 feet distant, and

Pierre. S. D., was being circulated Mon
day evening. The report could not be
verified, however, and some doubt was
expressed. at its truth. A telegram was

extensively sunk.
W. Fl. Fallon: The counties in the
northeastern part of the state seem to be
having by far the best of it this year,
as far as crops are concerned. That Sec
ton was entirely covered with water
until so late in the spring that it was
feared no crop at all could be sown, and
to that fact I attribute the present good
condition of the crops, the soil having
become SO thoroughly soaked that it
was not dried out by the heat.
Two maps of a part of the Valley City
extension of the 500 have been received
at the land office, Que for transmission to
Washington and the other for preserva-

mapped out is about twenty miles in

Foster county, up into Wells county,
and is almost perfectly straight. The
draughting on the maps is certainly a

says that Professor Hayes of the agri-

erence to the official proceedings of the
convention published in the TRIBUNE of

The ticket has been corrected in this re-

writes from Denver that he got copies of
the Bismarck TRIBUNE which we're read
with interest; that the knights are hav-
ing a delightful time and over 100000
strangers in Denver; that B~eardsley and
