Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1892-12-23

hitting tireless energy in pursuing the
thing he goes after, Commissioner W.
W. Barrett takes the palm. Opponents
of his "picture park" timber reserve
scheme concede the probability of it's
success, despite their best efforts to de-
feat it and the Ill concealed prejudice
against the project on the part of the
special Investigating agent representing
the land department.
Mr.. D.. l.. Fetter Of Emmons county,
was in town Saturday with a few boxes
of poultry and eggs which he sold for
about $50. His load was much easier
to haul than his neighbours fifty bushels
of wheat, and brought more than double
the money. He considers his wheat
worth 60 cents per bushel, right at home
to feed his hens and turkeys. He has
nearly a thousand chickens at home,
several hundred of them ready for mar
ket. Mixed farming pays.
Senator Engle in Fargo Forum: I
came up from Ransom to get some medi-
cine. You might think it's the other
fellows who really need it, Tom Elliott
is expected here tomorrow with his
bride. Harry Oliver is still in Mime
apolis, but his wife is reported better.
Harry and [ have the same old room at
the Sheridan We had two years ago, No.
81. I look for the election of a good
man for senator and am for that which
will be the best for our young state.
Fargo Argus: Secretary McGinnis of
the Worlds Fair board says that a sound
petrified stump has been discovered four
miles west of Glen Ullen, N. D., which
measures eight feet high and five feet in
diameter and weighs ten tons. It is
perfectly free from the earth and can be
removed without any great trouble. Mr..
McGinnis says it is suitable for polished
table tops. and will no doubt be secured
as Il Of the curosities to be placed on
exhibit in the North Dakota building.
Jamestown Capital: In lis speech at
the democratic gubernatorial blowout
at Bismarck last week J. e. Campbell,
the democratic Boanerges of Mandan,
boosted of having voted for Grover
Cleveland at the late election. If he
did the election board threw his vote
out as it did not appear in the election
returns. If he did so vote Manager
Dickey ought to make an effort to get
the ballot for exhibition among the
curios from this state at the worlds
fair. 1t would be especially interesting
to North Dakota visitors to the great
cosmopolitan show.
In Fargo and Grand Forks there is a
general crusade against persons who
allow the walks in front of their resi-
dence and business places to become
covered with snow and ice, and it
might not be out of place to suggest
that some portions of the sidewalks
throughout this city are in a condition
which renders locomotion difficult and
in many cases dangerous. 1t is not
such a difficult proceeding to see to the
keeping of walks free from ice, and a
little care in this respect will be highly
appreciated by pedestrians, and give a
better appearance to the streets, gener-
ally.
Mandan Pioneer: The ice in the Mis-
souri, is solid enough to make crossing
easy with teams, until the driver gets
to the Burleigh county side. Then he
encounters a high bank at the regular
crossing place, which makes it practi-
cally impossible to get over with a heavy
load. The river did considerable dam
age to the bank during the summer sea-
son, and it needs a little work done on it
now. It would be fair to presume that
it would pay Burleigh county or Bis
marck, to render the crossing passable.
Certainly it is not the duty of Morton
county parties to fix the Burleigh coun.
ty bank.
jamestown Alert: State Senator
Little of Bismarck, spent the day in the
city with friends. He accompanied his
brother senator, J. Fl. Worst to this
point, the latter going north to-day,
Colonel Little proceeding eastward. It
is said that Mr.. Worst is looking after
his United States senatorial fence, and
Colonel Little is Of the opinion that a
number of Missouri slope votes will be
found for Mr.. Worst. Colonel Little
added: II think there will be at least
q dozen republican candidates for sena-
tor voted for on the first ballot, and
there is no telling how many of other
parties will receive votes"
Governor-elect fShortridge> in Grand
Forks: I start this afternoon for Lis
bon to visit the soldiers home. This
will complete my round of all the state
institutions, which I have visited in per-
son in order to thoroughly familiarize
myself with their work and their needs.
