Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1892-01-29

Of North Dakota in the spring. The
Great Northern road will make an effort
through its eastern agents to furnish q
large number.
John Parker Of Emmons county: Ny
wife and daughter are spending the win
ter in Los Angeles, Gal. My daughters
health was not good and I thought q
change of climate would be beneficial. I
haven't any idea of leaving this country
now myself, although I was thinking of
it last season. I may go out for a visit,
however.
George Kline has just received a fine
roadster -"Gold Ore" a Membrino
Patchen-registered and possessing a
record, it is said, of 2:36. Bismarck is
becoming a great horse centerand it is
proposed by the horse men to make 1t
the horse center of the northwest, where
persons wanting any kind of horse flesh
can get it-one or a car load.
Owners of stations who desire to OBJ
tain liens on the get of their animals
should study the law-chapter III, laws
Of l991-in relation thereto. II. T. Hell
gesen, commissioner of agriculture and
labor, Bismarck, has recently issued a
circular giving the provisions of the law,
which should be in the hands of every
owner of a sire. It will be sent on ap-
plication.
Under the instruction of Lieutenant
Day, the Governors Guards are learn
ing some new tactics, and interest in the
company is being revived. 1t is expect
ed that during the summer the guards
will be drilled to a degree Of proficiency
which they have never attained before.
The members all speak in the highest
terms of Lietenant Day, and his mode
of instructing the "boys."
Another old land mark is being re-
moved. The old steamboat office. used
SO long by Capt. Maratta, on the right-of-
way near the depot has been purchased
by Mr.. Van Horn and is being moved
across the track. In the palmy days of
upper Missouri river steamboating, when
the Northern Pacific ended at Bismarck
and this was the headquarters for the
Black Hills stage company, a great deal
of business wal transacted in that old
Office.
It is estimated that the farmers on the
Missouri slope will need about 500 la
borers in the spring to finish threshing
and put in their spring crops. In the
James River valley at least 1000 will be
needed and in the Red River valley not
less than 5000. The movement on the
part of the railroads to arrange for this
labor during the winter is a good one,
for if it is not done thousands of acres
will go unseeded this year because of the
lack OF help.
On Thursdays west bound train Mol
lie Gunderson, the little girl who had
both her feet cut off by a locomotive at
Mandan last summer, returned to her
home. She mas been at the Brainerd
hospital since the accident. Her recovery
has been slow, but the physicians who
have been attending her are satisfied
that she need not stay in the hospital
any longer. Some little money was
raised at Mandan at the time of the &C.
cident for the benefit of the unfortunate
child, whose parents are poor people.
A. B. Stricken: The cattle in Mercer
county are wintering in good shape. We
expect a large number Of settlers in the
spring-expect considerable activity in
the way of coal mining, and altogether,
Stanton and Mercer county are all right.
says: A special freight train, composed
entirely of refrigerator cars, loaded with
apples, beer and other perishable goods,
went west last night. The cars we're in
the round house at this place and Fargo
for several days, and when the weather
moderated yesterday afternoon they
we're rushed out over the road at a lively
rate.
The necessity of developing the native
coal industry, and the necessity of the
hearty cooperation of the railroads, SO
that the whole state may be supplied
with that which western North Dakota
has billions of tons of-fuel-is illustrat-
cd by the condition of affairs up in Penn
bina county as set forth by the Bath
gate Democrat: The supply of wood in
Bathgate il still inadequate to meet the
demand, and the prices are correspond
ingly u~nreasonably high. just at pres
emit second quality dry oak is quoted 81 to
$3.50, and poor soft wood-slab pine and
poplar poles, at IS and Sc, and yet
wood cannot be procured to meet the
call for it,"
The mock trial in the high school
Friday excited a great deal of interest,
and lasted until after 5 o'clock. The
