More people were 10 town on Saturday

all the places of business were crowded all
day with the bustlng throng, eager to make
their purchases and start homewar1, TO make
preparations for commencing spring work.
Our agricultural implement establishments
sent out numerous loads OF ofmachinery that day,
and everybody die rushing business.

"A few Hopeites made visit TO the Shey-
cnne. in tho neghDorhood OF Gallatin, last
Sunday, to scan the receding food. When
one buggy with its precious contents got in
the center OF a little slough, down on section
twenty-four tho horse got stuck in the mud
and the driver had to uritch and the fair
damsel was taken ashore on the horses back
Moral: Stranger, the next time you drive into
| the Sheyenne valley you want to driv tho
same road that other people travel, not think
it is nearer to cut cross lots, for il you do you
may get left. ~
North Dakota Republican: Every ncws-
paper man, says an exchange, has at some
timo CT other in his business experience, met
the man who ''now takes more papers than
lie can read" Ho was in town last week.
He wiped his nose on tho awning, tried to
blow out the electric light at the hotel, failed
TO light cigar on it, pail twenty five cents
for an almanac, put nickel in the slot at the
postoffice and kicked because mail did not ap-
pear, wanted to lick the cashier because he
closed at four clock, and watched the clock
sign in front Of a jewellery store, waiting for
it to STRIFE, and still lie takes more papers
than he can read"
The train on the Hope branch again was
derailed when on its way down one week ago
yesterday. The tender this time jumped the
track, and passengers were delayed all that
night near Absaraka, not getting away uHtil
noon Of the next day. Our ornamental board
of railroad commissioners probably do not
know that the track Of the Hope branch is un-
safe-pr0bably do not wish to know it-but-
well, will anyone undertake to define their
duty? Or is their cffice just one of the many
for the purpose Of seeing that the state treas
ury does not oyeliow-and is this what they
are elected for? Any Information on the sub
ject will he gladly received by our suffering
people. 81

The SheyenNc river was the highest this
spring that it has been since the spring Of
1885, though it lacked SIX inches this spring
of reaching high water mark. Tie point Of
observation that was very unpleasant to far
mcrs made the young ducks laugh. Tho wa
ter was at least two feet deep around some
settings of wheat stacks, and some grain that
was threshed In March and piled OH the ground
to Jry was COMPLETELY inundated Tn acma
fields OF shocked grain, the water raised the
shocks that were not froze down and they
nOated down The river and the ducks could
