Enlarglng the Yards.

It has been reported that the Northern
Pacific company has purchased the
Elliot grove property for use in enlarging
their yards at this place, AS far as can
be learned no such purchase has been
made. 1t is the intention of the COM
pany, however, to greatly enlarge their
track room at jamestown this summer
and have the whole work completed for
the fall business. For several years the
yards have been too small to permit of
the prompt handling OF trains.
Between the mair track and the rould
house there is level place which at
present is not fully utilized and addi-
tional track track room OF 1900 feet in
length for six tracks will be made there
this year. Each one of the tracks will
hold full train OF As cars. 1t is posi-
bic that other improvements Will be
made also but they have not yet been
decided upon.
The yard masters Office will be re-
moved to the yards from it's present
location in the superintendent's head
quarters. A telegraph Office will be put
in and telegraphers stationed there for
the ordering Of trains. All switching
aud handling of the cars will be done IN
the yards. Passenger engines will be
changed there and much more Of the
railroad work concentrated at the yards
proper, than heretofore.

BRINGING In The WOOL.
Stutsman Farmers Marketing
This Seasons Clip Of
FIeeces.
The A. o. u. w. and Employees
of the N. p. Shops Cross
Bats.
The Northern Pacific to En-
large Its jamestown Yard
Room and Trackage.

H. B. Allen shipped his first car load
Of this seasons wool yesterday. Speaking
the wool industry in this county he Of
stated that the clip would be, from pres
ent indications, little lighter than last
year. The sheep came through the
winter in better condition even, than last
year, but the wool which has already
been marketed was taken at the begin
ming of the late period of hot weather
and is light, running between six and
seven pounds per sheep.
A farmer brought in his wool
sheared from $50 sheep which amounted
to over 5000 pounds, or little less than
54 pounds per sheep. It is difficult to
explain the reason for the light weight
except for the peculiar climatic condi-
tions which have prevailed this spring.
The present market price runs from ten
to twelve cents according to the con-
dition OF the wool. That coming from
the western part Of the county, in the
region OF the Coteaux, is lighter and
cleaner than that from the farming dis
trlcts. The wool, though unwashed, is
very much cleaner than heretofore and
contains but little dirt, comparatively.
A sample shown from another locality
was quite black from the dust which had
been blown into the wool from plowed
land. The ultimate destination Of most
OF the wool Of this region is Boston.
Chicago is hardly better market than
jamestown. A few find it to their ad-
vantage to ship but the majority sell
here. 1t pays in the long run. The
present low price, Nh. Allen stated, was
due III large measure to the present
stringency in financial circles. Another
cause, he added, is the feeling Of uncer-
tainty az to what the next congress will
do with the tarld. Manufacturers will
not buy largely at present because the =
hope soon to be able to buy all the wool
they want at free trade prices. The
local price, he stated. is about cent
above the market, but he thought that
the conditions are favorable towards a
rise in wool. About half the first car
load Of wool will be from Mr.. Allen .
own sheep.

Reception to Rev. Glbb.

The Presbyterian church was thronged
Tuesday from 8 o'clock until nearly IL
by the friends OF Rev. VIM. Gibb, who
gathered to say goodbye to the popular
pastor. The farewell reception was given
under the auspices Of the Ladies Aid
society of the Presbyterion church, who
served ice cream and cake during the
evening. The Jamestown orchestra was
also in attendance and discoursed their
best music, adding greatly to the pleasure
of the occasion. The members OF the
orchestra gave their services freely, out
OF regard for Mr.. Gibb, who has assisted
them in many ways, as critic and Friend.
Indeed the large attendance of people
from other churches, and from all walks
Of life, indicated the great esteem in
which Mr.. Glib is held by the whole
community. Some of the guests were
able to remain but few moments, but
all we're given cordial greeting by the
retiring pastor, and mutual good wishes
expressed.
While the reception was pleasant one,
general regret is felt over the loss James
town will sustain by the removal Of one Of
the most learned and liberal ministers in
the state. Not only in his pulpit utter
ances. but IN his daily contact With the
people, and his readiness TO assist in any
worthy cause, has Mr.. Glib endeared
himself to the public, and the host Of
friends be has made dunng residence
OF over three years IN jamestown will
wish him health and prosperity wherever
he may reside. A visit to bis old home
in Scotland will first be made, and an
extended tour of European countries is
contemplated. Mr.. Gibb expects to
leave the city tomorrow night.

Wednesdays Market Day.

Notwithstanding the lowering skies
and frequent showers yesterday, the
market day was another success and
amply repaid those who attended. The
products brought in for sale or exchange
were of about as motley and mixed as at
the first sales day. Among the sales
yesterday we're twenty.four head Of
stock, SIX Of which we're horses, and for
which, 1t ls said, good price was re-.
ceived. Four of the horses were draft
animals. Eleven wagons OF pigs. each
wagon containing from four to dozen
animals, we're on the grounds and all
we're disposed Of. Nearly everything in
the way of farm produce was disposed of
before the day passed. II the weather
had been fairer more produce would have
been brought in to. market. Auction
sales consisting Of wagons, buggies and
horses went OF we'll. All together there
we're about fifty wagons on tho grounds
representing all parts Of the county.
Many more would have bean on hand
either to buy or aell il the day had been
more favorable. One man came in
thirty miles with half dozen pigs
which he disposed Of advantaeeously.
Five wagon loads Of fat sheep and calves
also found . ready sale to customers.
The butchers IN the clty find the market
day great convenience to them a. it
saves them many long and hard drive
out in the country for fat stock which
under the new arrangements are brought
to their door. There are many Others
who are equally benefited, proving the
wisdom and utility OF the holding OF
market and exchange days.

The companies have fled plats, IN
nearly every instance, excepting the

few Of the school lands through which
the road passes have been plated. The
reason for the failure Of this company to
respond to the prov,s,ons Of the law are
not stated, but it is supposed to be for
q reason connected with the title
as it takes twenty years to get
full and complete title for school lands
sold. The Northern Pacific, the Mil
waukee and St. Paul, and 500 lines have
filed elaborate and handsome plats and
express readiness to pay for the land
used at the appraised value. 1t is said
that over 5000 will soon be turned from
this source for the use of the permanent
school fund. The law requires that the
company desiring to secure the benefits
of the act shall comply with the same
within 80 days after its passage. Future
railroads built across school lands are
entitled to the same privilege.

company is allowed to take for it's pur-

OUR LANDS ARE VALUABLE.

The Country That Raises the Food
b Supplies Can Not Desertorate.
w. H. Beck OF Warrington, D. c., left
for Montana Monday to be absent sew.
eral weeks looking after his mining
interests. He will return to jamestown
later, for summers visit, and to look
after bis investments in this county.
MI. Beck states that many persons in
the east are fearing, from the financial
strlngency, that great shr,nkage IN values
w,ll occur, and are putting their cash in
safety deposit vaults. The idea prevails
in Washington that congress will not
repeal the Sherman law, at least before
January l, next, il it is done then. A
great many people with ready money are
anticipating getting property Of all kinds
at deprecated prices and making great
fortunes out Of the necessities Of those
forced to realize on their holdings.
Mr.. Beck also says:
"North Dakota land is bound to get
to the front. The residents of any
country, where the food supplies can be
raised as they can here. need feel no
anxiety about the ultimate value Of the
land. 1t 10 certain to rlse IN price. Some
years ago I bought several thousand
acres Of rocky, broken and what was con-
sidered worthless land in Nebraska, from
ahard-up railroad company for 6s cents
an acre. ! have since sold every acre of
it for pasturage for over IS an acre. A
man can make q living here on l6O acre
farm il he does nothing else, provided he
works for it. He can ralse potatoes,
stock. pork, grain and vegetables and
poultry for his own use and enough to
sell for family supplies. If be will keep
from borrowing money at the banks
which be can't do just now-it would be
q good thing for the average farmer.
"Here you are within twenty-four
hours Of four large cities, and one Of
them will soon be the largest city in the
western continent. With comparatively
cheap rates which are getting cheaper
and the markets which the Twin cities,
Duluth and Chicago furnish, I can not
see Why the food products of this region
will not bring the producers good pro-
fit. ! expect to see North Dakota lands
bring their true value as food producers
within the next ten years"

Good Shoes Nowadays


There has probably not been since the
war so little "shoddy" used in shoes as
now. There are numerous limitations of
calf, kangaroo, dongola, goat, etc., made
from cowhide, and by the skill Of
mechanism they are remarkably close
limitations, but they are generally sold
for what they purport to be, and cannot
be classified as substitutes. The pam
cake or pasted sole and heel is still used
in the manufacture of low grade shoes
but to a less extent than formerly
Leather is so cheap that good button
boot can be made solid throughout at
ninety-fve cents and one dollar. and
perhaps less.
The consumer secures more value than
ever in the modern medium priced shoes;
genuine materials are put into every.
thing except such low priced shoes that
it is impossible to make them of actual
leather. There is no deception about
these. Manufacturers make no secret
of the fact that they are composed Of
pasted soles and heels, split insoles and
the like. Buyers know what they are
getting.-Shoe and Leather Reporter -
