Gerald Pierce: The Fargo papers,
for some reason, seem extremely anx-
ious to insist upon my opposition to
Governor Burke. I am a republican.
disappointed at times-but always for
the republican ticket. I hope that is the
kind of republicanism that has the Fargo
press in hand.
F. w. Cathro: I can't tell just what
the committee will do, but from all re-
ports and the offer made by Devils
Lake, I think that city will get the
Chautauqua location. Some prefer De-
troit Lake, but it is advisable, I think,
to keep the location for the assembly
within the state.
W. A. Falconer: If twenty games, at a
profit of SIS each will get the base ball
association out of debt, how many games,
wherein is a loss of S20.4O each will do the

G. H. Phelps is doing an extensive
business in the enlargement of photo
graphs. Some of the pictures, when
compared with the originals, are such
true copies that cannot repress his
admiration. Mr.. Phelps is receiving
orders from Dickinson, Glen Ullin, Glen

J. 81. Marshall: I have now an excel
lent variety of grasses and grain, and
am still gathering more. The wet
weather has ruined many excellent varle-
ties, they having wilted after it became
warm again. I have a table twenty feet

grasses of all kinds, and am not nearly
through yet.

to increase the number of those to take

there, for Logan township farmers re-
port the damage very slight.

greater than that of last year.
