tax enough levied on each man to pay
his w salary. I believe they would.

S. E. Streeter: I think Darwin r. and
l have a kick coming on the way Lieut..
Col. Streator's name is spelled in the
Fargo Argus. For myself and D. R. too,
l will say that the name of that officer is
not spelled like ours.

bad shape. The west seems to have
caught the body of the storm, of which
Bismarck received only the tail end,
Monday evening.
The order which was made two years
