sold two steers, wintered on hay, and five
hogs, fatted Ga refuse grain, for $165.
The cost Of raising did not exceed $40.
A Mrs. Lotion, staying in Fargo for
the purpose OF gaining a residence and
obtaining a divorce, complains that a
Northern Pacific freight conductor,
named A. E. Brown, who has been keep
ing company with her, in a fit Of jealousy
pulled a razor on her and threatened to
kill her.
Every weekly paper picked up during
the last week contains an item m
thing like this: "Last Friday we OK.
p%erienced the hardest wind storm we
have ever seen in North Dakota" 1t
was, indeed, a. severe one all over the
state. but after all but little grain was
uncovered.
The Argus gives no names but pub
fishes the account of a respondent young
lady of that city who, being Tilted by
her lover, had fully determined to die
by the pistol route, but was prevented
by a young lady companion just as she
was about to fire. The value of the
item is greatly reduced by the absence
of the names.
It seems that the land company for
which Major Hamilton Of Grand Forks
has been agent during the past two
years, Is closely connected with the
Columbian bank of Chicago, which re-
Gently failed. To get even, for money
due for services, the major has attached
some money belonging to the company
now in the Towner bank.
w. H. Bartlett, in the jamestown, N.
D., Alert: In my travels this spring I
noticed a better class # farming than I
have ever seen before, in Dickey county
especially. Farmers are beginning to
realize that the scratch work does not
pay; and, too, I noticed that many of
the farmers have sown their oat crop
first, instead OF the last thing.
The attempt on the part Of two men
to hold up Paymaster Keith of the 500
road near Darlington last week failed.
Mr.. Keith was driving along the grade
about 10 o'clock at night when two men
appeared in front of his team aud or
dered him to stop. Instead of stopping
he whipped his horses and left the men
before they could cont lude what to do
next.
The ladies of North Dakota have ar
ranged a program of entertainment for
their building so that the ladies of each
county of the state will be represented
by prominent ladies one week during the
time that the fair is open. This week
Mrs. L. r. Booker and daughter of Penn
bina, and Mrs. de Lenderlcrle and Miss
Eulie Mcconnell of Fargo, are assisting
Mrs. Davidson to entertain visitors.
That local depositors in the National
bank Of North Dakota which has been
closed by the bank examiner, will not be
hit very hard is evidenced by the fact
that according to the last statement,
May 14th, the deposits subject to check
amounted to only S 33,2243.95, and time
and demand certificates, $l5,6O0. Capt.
tai stock paid in, %$25O,O0O; loans and
discounts, $l84,000. Fargo people have
never had confidence in the institution
and the deposits are almost entirely
from outside of the state.
The North Dakotans have added an
attractive feature to the exterior of their
building. On the lawn, neal the man
entrance, has been placed an old
fashioned OK cart, such as was used in
the early days of Indian trading in the
valley of the Red River of the North.
An immense OK, set up by a North Da-
kota taxidermist and fitted out with a
set of harness that was used in the early
fur trading days of the great northwest,
is attached to the historical vehicle.
Hundreds Of people stop and inspect the
odd looking outfit, and pass into the
building to gaze at the finest wheat ex-
hibit on the grounds.
In it's market reports the Minneapolis
Journal says that reports from Mime
sofa and North Dakota points indicate
that very little has been done this spring
in the way of diversifying crops, as all
reports on wheat acreage say "about the
same as last year." However the diver.
sitication theory is here to stay and
North Dakota will take more kindly to
it after a year or two more of low wheat
prices. The one crop idea is not good
for any country or state. The dry goods
merchant who gets the trade cannot
confne himself to one pattern of cloth.
He must keep a variety, and the farmer
who wants to make a profit every year
must not keep n kind of grain on hand
to sell.
