Editor Maddux of the New Rockford
Transcript, accompanied by his wife and
baby, has gone off on three weeks: vaca-
tion to st. Paul and Minneapolis.
We are under obligations to an old and
intimate friend j.. h. Eubapks, for copies
of Rice Lake {IVis.) papers. They carry
us back to recollections of former days.
The Sparta Independent says that Supt.
Sanborn has received the plans for the
first building to be erected for the Indian
school and for the laying out of the grounds
at Tomah, Wis.
John w. Wagner was down from Han
cock Monday and made final proof on his
homestead before Deputy Clerk of Court
Wallin. John R. Mann and James Thomp-
son were his witnesses.
Leonard NJ. Wallin has been appointed
deputy clerk of the district court of this
county, vice James L. Davis, whose ap-
pointment has been revoked. Judge
Wallin will make an efficient and atten-
tive officer, having had considerable ex-
perience in that line.
The Mandan Pioneer, in speaking of the
recent firemans ball at Mandan says: "Our
firemen feel that the Bismarckers have
amply atoned for any remissness of the
past and wish to thank them for the way
they turned out on this occasson."
John satterlund, I. J. Haugeberg, Larry
Casselnan and Co. Auditor Wells were this
week harvesting their ice crop. 1t was
rather late in the season, but men of such
cool calculations never let q good thing
slip away from them if they can devise
any means of holding it.
The Leader has just received the follow
ing telegram from Bismarck, which is of
interest to our Mclean county farmers:
The Mandan Roller Mill Co. will COM
mence to buy wheat IN Washburn as soon
as navigation opens and the boat can take
a load. Dick Drummond is considerably
better to night, SAMUEL FAIRMAN.
Geo. L. Robinson, of Coal Harbor, has
been drawn as member OF the q. S. grand
jury for the next term of court to be held
at Fargo. Mr.. Robinson being postmaster
at Coal Harbor, and having as much as he
can do to attend to his immense mercantile
business there, will probably apply to the
court to be excused.
The weather changed last Tuesday night
from extremely warm to extremely cold,
and Wednesday was the coolest day we've
had this winter-for comfort. Tuesday
night the wind blew at the rate of 70 miles
an hour, and the oldest inhabitant fails to
remember when we had such stiff gale
before. Thursday, however, was moder
ately pleasant day, though little raw.
The Bismarck Settler admits that it
doesn't 1'know much' about the Washburn
postofice row, and it's comment on it last
week evinces the fact that the Settler
doesn't 'sknow much', ANYHOW. /, Our ad-
vice is, Mr.. Settler, when you "don't know
much about anything, not to display your
asininity by attempting to give your read
ers an explanation of it.
If the appropriation of 100000 for a
public building at Bismarck, which Sena-
tor Hansbrough got through the U. s.
senate recently, can be made available at
once, and the work begun this spring,
there will not be an idle man on the slope
this summer. It will be grand thing for
Bismarck, and we may safely predict that
before the coming autumn arrives every
habitable dwelling now vacant in that city
will be occupied.
). L. Robinson, representing 2. Ashley
Mears' Mortgage Bank & Investment Co.,
of Fargo, arrived at Washburn yesterday.
He has been sent out here to see what he
can do about leasing out the settlers lands
which is now being; advertised for sale for
non payment of coupon interest notes.
Many of the parties are now occupying
these lands, and have not surrendered their
rights, and we don't believe the young man
