Dunseith Times: The Indians killed
a large cinnamon bear in the mountains
north of town last Saturday. Bruin was
found in his nest in the ground where he

The late thaw had melted the snow
away from the mouth of the hole, and he
was easily found and killed.
Minot Journal: Have you tried your
seed in box to see if it will grow? One
hundred grams of wheat, of oats, or of
barley will not take much room and if
some OF it won't grow now, you may
have learned something which would pay
you big for your trouble. Grain often
spoils in a bin without the owners
knowledge. 1t may not all be spoiled
and If you know the percentage, you can
SOW accordingly.
A Pioneer representative enjoyed edi
toridl privileges at the jamestown opera
house on Tuesday evening, says the
Mandan Pioneer. OF the opera house
the citizens of jamestown and the
Messrs. Lloyds have every reason to feel
proud. The theater is as complete as
architectural skill can make 1t. The
interior decorations and furnishings
blend in beautiful harmony and through
out the entire house there is not one
scintilla of cheapness or gaudiness.
A party at Belgrade, Montana, have
Holstein bull, which has been trained
from calf to buck, says the Dickinson

failed to throw his rider in three jumps.
Experts who can slide onto wild steer
bareback in chute and ride him for
miles on the range with a herd, have
tried the Belgrade Holstein and failed
every time. The bull will be taken to
the Columbian exposition to adorn
Buffalo Bills Wild West show.
Mr.. L. Hommedieu in Casselton Re
publican: Have been in the country
since 1853, and have always observed
that when large amount of snow had
fallen during the winter, great wheat
crop invariably followed. The winters Of
1882 50 81 we're similar to the present,
and each OF those seasons gladdened the
farmers of North Dakota with large
crops of wheat. l look for the same
good fortune TO fall to the far ners of
this country, the coming season. The
vast body of snow upon the ground, will
fill up all ''coulies" with water, and it
will be the middle of the summer before
they will become dry. While they last
the moisture that will arise from them
at night will largely assist in feeding the
growing grain with necessary nourish-
ment. The ram that Will surely fall
during that time, will give us bonanza
crop OF wheat and other grains.
Sam Boyd of Rolla, passed through
the city with car load of fine stall fed
cattle yesterday, says the Devils Lake
Free Press. Sam says that our people
never will be SO prosperous as when they
have become thoroughly alive to the
fact that no man can expect to lay by
riches and only work SIN months in the
year. This he alleges, is practically
what the North Dakota wheat farmer at
present is sanguine enough to believe
Raise some stock, make butter, and be
able every fall to turn of few steers,
some sheep and hogs, and even it the
labor expended is apparently not COM
pensated by the actual profits, it all
helps and the bulk OF this work is done
when the farmer can do nothing else.
This is the Rolla farmers view and we
think there is much truth in what he
says.
