W. s. Casselman: I have been two
weeks trying to drive a team from Fargo
to Bismarck. The snow is very deep,
especially this side of jamestown, and l
had to drive on the railroad track most
OF the way. I had some narrow escapes
from the trains, and you couldn't hire
me to make the trip again. I'm still
travelling for Griggs & Co. of st. Paul:
and expect to go on to Montana in a few
days.
Hans Holtan, of Washburn, who made
proof Friday on 100 acres of Mclean
county 4 oil, left Friday nightfor a short
trip to Iowa. He intends to bring back
his three sons. MI. Holtan is one of the

having raised 5000 bushels of No. 1 hard
last year. He has thirty head of cattle,
ten horses and many valuable improve
ments on his farm, and thinks the coun

Fargo Republican,: The people of
Bismarck are getting an old-time
"rustle' on themselves this year. At a
meeting of the chamber of m in

threshing machine factory there, and al

of the headquarters of the United States
engineer in charge of upper Missouri
improvements from Sioux City to Bis
marck, where it properly belongs. The
Bismarck ice harbor was also discussed.
The Milwaukee contractor who is put
ting down the a~rtesian we'll in Mandan,
put in an appearance a few days ago in
| our sister city, fired Forman Bongard
who has been running a blind pig instead
IF drilling the we'll, and appointed a new
foreman. For over a year the drill has
been pounding with more or less energy
at an obstruction-a broken drill. Mr..
Gray, the contractor, finds the we'll is
down 1900 feet, instead Of 1000 as pre-
viously reported. He thinks that the
we'll will be a gusher when the 1900 feet
is reached.
Observer Fallon: I have started new
stations at Medora, with James w.
Foley, Jr. as observer, and at Fort
Stevenson, with Hon. G. A. Burton, OBJ
server. I am much pleased to get these
stations, as they coverintervening points
between other stations which are very
far apart. Applications for instruments
have been made from Towner and Mimic,
but I am not certain that 1 can have
those points designated as stations,
owing to their nearness to other stations.
The voluntary observers are sending in
