of four cars, arrived from the west
on Tuesday, as advertised, remaining

awarded the contracts for blowing the
fire guards for the Northern Pacific
company from Mandan to Glendlve.

L. T. Standitird: l don't think seed
ing about Gladstone is more than half
done. but think this kind of IL season
people can seed late and get good
crops. l have 80 acres seeded and
shall make my acreage up to about
100. My cattle and horses did we'll
through the winter. 1t pays to feed
a little hay along and give them Il
chance to get to shelter. l turn my
cattle away to he herded through the
summer.
Some pretty clever running time
was made by Jack Kearns with No. 4
on Tuesday. He left Glendive with a
train of nine coaches one hour and
ten minutes late, and he was in Dick
inson within thirty minutes of
schedule time. Something was
said about "hot boxes" but Jack was
following in the line of the Golden
Gate special, and he is m of the en-
gineers of the division who can "throw
them"
Col. Morton in Fargo Argus FA
great many Of our people are worried
overthe present crop situation. don't
think there is anything alarming in
the outlook. 1t is true, Il little nice
weather just now, would be very ac-
ceptable, but we have twenty days
ahead of us in which to get wheat
into the ground, such of it us has al
ready been seeded. l remember that
in 1882 there Was a considerable
acreage within twenty miles of
Fargo sown to wheat after June lst,
and fields so sown returned excellent
yields of No. | hard wheat"
Our stockmen L taking time by
the forelock. They have engaged
John Goodall to pillow a fro guard
from Rocky ridge south to the south
east side of Chalk buttes; also from
Rocky ridge south, passing along to
the west of Rainy buttes, to Cedar
creek,at IL point about two miles above
the E6 crossing; and one north from
Rocky ridge to Davis Creek. Three
burrows will be made, astrip of $50 OIL
more feet left and three burrows more
made. AT the proper time the STRIP
will be burned out, which will make
an absolute check against the cross
ing of fire, in all about 10 miles OF
this guard will be made south. and
north of the Northern Pacific road.
beginning at IL point in the vicinity OF
Belheld, "a similar guard of four fur.
rows will be run through on the di'
vide between the Little and Big Mis-
souri, rivers to the Jefferies horse
camp. 1t istalked, too, that Il guard
will be put in from some point OIL THE
Knife to the Bad Lands. This would
make something like 100 miles of fire
guard north of the track. 1t will be
great BENEFIT to 2 vast scope of coun.
try.
