bers, Bismarck, secretary, and the Hon,
B. S. Russell, jamestown, lay member.
Dr.. Harcourt: I have just returned
from a trip to William Britton's farm in
the southeastern part of the county, and
I tell you it is a cure for sore eyes to
look over his place. 1t is a model farm,
everything in apple pie order, the farm
house comfortable and the buildings of
the best kind. Mr.. Brittcn is one of our
best farmers.
Dan Eisenberg: You can announce
in the morning that the inventory has
been completed, the sale to Webb Bros.
has been consummated, and that the
store and business 30 long run by me in
this city will be opened and continued
under the management of Webb Bros,
for whom I bespeak the fullest measure
of prosperity.
E. E. Morris: Friday and Saturday
in st. Paul we're two of the hottest days
I " experienced. Every window and
door in the city, you might say, was
opened wide. Business men we're
around in their shirt sleeves, and we're
all rushing to the furnishing houses to
purchase straw hats. The heat was
simply suffocating.
w. A. Falconer: I have returned
from Doctor Bentley's farm, where
threshing has been in order. The yield
was not extre ordinary, about twelve
bushels to the acre, and of fair quality.
Wheat which has been planted in sum-
mer fallowed land is averaging from
eighteen to twenty bushels to the acre.
That which has not runs about eight to
twelve.
A Minneapolis telegram says that
the North Dakota railroad commissioners
which arrived Tuesday for an interview
with the elevator men, reached an agree
ment to-day, by which the elevators will
handle the coming crop. The elevators
agree to handle the grain and file neces-
sary bonds under the law of 81, imme-
diately. The commissioners returned
satisfied.
J. G. Rapelje: I have just received a
letter from Will Whitney, formerly of
the signal service. at this city. He il
now on a camping out trip in n of the
most beautiful places IN the Canadian
woods. He says he enjoys it immensely,
and goes to sleep each night with the
howl of the wolf or the cries of other
wild animals as a lullaby. He seems to
be making the best of his outing.
R.. M. Tuttle: We have failed as yet
to capture one of the thieves who made
the raid on Williams jewelry store yes
terday. On the one who was captured
there were found two watches, and
forty-seven more we're found secreted in
an old valise, making 'forty-nine in all
which they got away with in the raid.
Things in Mandan are as usual, with all
the prospects of republican success.
North Dakota Globe: J. M. Quinn
has made a great reputation AS editor of
the Butte Miner. Quinn wa for years
on the Bismarck Tribune, and is known
by every man who ever visited Bismarck
as a legislator. Quinn wrote the Mon
tana democratic platform adopted by the
recent convention, and it is an ingenious
arraignment of the. republican party
such as only Quinn's Imagination could
produce.
Ed. Sloan: I have a little garden
patch of half an acre, of which I am
keeping a record, to show how produc-
tive is North Dakota. I have had eight
boarders at the house all summer, and
have not had to buy an ounce OF vege-
tables. I have sold from the patch
vegetables amounting to $3.50, already,
and have still nearly 500 heads of cab
bage untouched. How is that for half
an acre of land?
Clarence Price: Sheridan county has
within its borders some very good
country, especially for stock ranches.
We had an enjoyable hunt, only marred
by the breaking down of our rig or the
road home and our having to navigate
the rest Of the way in a lumber wagon.
There is a deal Of wheat in the northern
part of Ecklund township, which has
rot been cut yet, and some of the oat
fields are still green.
The Butte Miner contains a descrip-
ton of the elopement on the 18th inst.
of a Chinese woman from her lord and
master, with $500 in collateral and 5000
in jewelry. She left with another Butte
Chinaman, and several Of the boys about
town, who noticed a Chinese woman and
man pass through, east bound, on the
passenger train several nights ago, are
wondering if there is a possible connec.
ton between the two events.
