the Red, and that of the Missouri, and
that this latter is rapidly assuming as
important proportions as the former.
The interview is as follows:
When l first went into that country and
took up my land all 1 could see from the
door of my shanty was bare prairie, over
which the wolves and coyotes were chasing
the deer II antelope, no doubt wondering
as they ran who the fool man might be
who had put up a shack on that desolate
spot. Now WI have one of the finest towns
in the state of North Dakota and the prairie
is dotted all over with houses, the occu-
pants of which own thousands Of sheep,
cattle and horses, which have crowded out
the coyotes and wolves. The settlers i'll
that section Soon found that they could
not raise wheat with any satisfaction:
They had a drouth, not once in awhile,
but most always! so they turned their at
tentiOnt to cattle, horses and sheep, and now
we have nc poor people in that county so
far as l know. OF course, some get along
faster than others, but there is no suffering.
We are near the Bad Lands, and it would
surprise you to see how thick the houses
are along the edge of these lands, which
for so many years we're considered abss-
lutely worthless for onything at all. They
afford the finest grazing land in the world.
The cattle and sheep men build houses in
the valleys under the shelter Of the buttes
and allow their stock to run in the Bad
Lands while they cut hay on the prairie.
Most of them haul the hay into the Bad
Lands where the cattle eau have shelter
while feeding, though some have it on the
prairie. The cattle and sheep feed during
the winter under the shelter of the buttes,
where they do. not feel the strong winds of
the prairie at all and where the snow does
not drift. They have good feed there all
winter. The horses generally feed on the
prairie, as they can dig through the snow
without any trouble. During very stormy
weather some of the stock is fed, but this
is seldom necessary. and thousands of
sheep are shipped from Montana and ever
as far west as Oregon to Stark county for
feeding every winter. Our cattle come
largely from Texas, but a great many of
them are owned by the small farmers and
the railroad men in that section. The men
employed on the railroads and in other
places buy a few cattle at a time and send
them out among the farmers to keep at
from So to SIS per head per year, and in this
way manage to make quite a little money.
We. have coal in immense quantities there,
and it is easily mined, and where there is
not coal there is wood. On my farm 1 have
a vein from ten to twelve feet thick and
my boys work it. By blasting one man
can get out as much as forty tons u day.
We sell it in town at from $1.75 to So per
ton, and it makes a Dice thing. At the
mines further out they sell it at $$2.10 per
ton. The wood they find from four to five
feet underground in the Bad Lands also
burns we'll, S the settlers have all the fuel
they need. This winter has been open and
mild and everything is in excellent shape
up there. We look for one OF the best
years we have ever had.

Nearly His Last Sleep.

A tourist named Sloan went to sleep
last evening, and that sleep came pretty
nearly being his last comfortable one for
some time. He was discovered in an old
shed, without fire Or cover, at about 10
O'Clock, and was wakened up, and taken
to Sheriff Donnelly's residence, where
he passed the rest of the night in a
warmer place.
Had he been allowed to continue his
sleep where he started in upon, he
would have been seriously frozen, as the
weather was somewhat two cold for aa
airy a bed chamber as he chose for his
nights repose.

A Little Blaze.

There wa a little before breakfast fire
at Brady's millinery emporium Thursday
morning. At a little past S o'clock,
Henry Reade, night Waterman at the
depot, discoveyed smoke issuing from
the rear end of the building, and he at
once gave the alarm. The tones of the
fire bell called the usual number of fire.
men and curiosity seekers, and in a very
short time a line of hose was laid. The
fire originated in the back end of the
building, and a partition separated the
blaze from in front, making it difficult
to locate at first. An axe 500 made an
opening into where the fire was, and a
stream Of water checked the rapid
ly increasing flames. The fire
was extlnguished without much
actual damage to the building
but the heat, smoke and water destroy
ed a number of articles of millinery and
dress goods which were placed about in
the store proper. The discovery Of the
blaze soon after its origin WAS exception
ally lucky, for inlammable material
abounded in the close vicinity of the
flames, and had they gotten ten or fifteen
minutes more start, the fremen would
have had a pretty hard fight on their
hards. ..
The principal damage is to the stock,
that which was exnosed having heen
wetted and ruined, while a large amount
of valuable hats, patterns, c%rinolines and
ribbons which we're packed away neal
where the fire started are altogether de.
stroyed. The insurance on the stock is
$500 and this will cover the loss.
There is also insurance Of $500 on the
building, with only a small loss.
Work on the repairing of the store has
begun, and new stock has been ordered
to replace that which was destroyed.

How Hunt Progresses.


The st. Paul Dispatch publishes a
cut of G. N. Hunt, and an interesting &C
count of'his progress in religious work.
The Dispatch says: The removal of
Rev. Donald Grant from the state made
vacant the presidency of the Minnesota
State Christian Endeavor union, and the
vacancy has now been filled by the
choice of Charles N. Hunt, the lawyer
evangelist, Of Minneapolis. Mr.. Hunt is
a young man, 81 years old, has practiced
law for twelve years, and last year dur
ing the Mills revival meeting in Minne-
apolis, he concluded to drop the law, in
which he had been very successful, and
go into evangelistic work. Six years
previously this work had been impressed
on his mind and heart, but he wouldn Q
give in to what seemed a "divine call"
to labor until Evangelist Mills cam to
Minneapolis. Since that time he has
been carrying on successful evangelist
meetings throughout the state, and his
choice as leader of the Minnesota Chris
tian Endeavorers is considered a very
good n 70 his evangelistic work he,
brought the training and eloquence Of
the lawyer, directing them to help his
fellows because of his deep love for them.
Added to this, his new position will
bring into play his splendid powers as.
an organizer, and the Christian Endeav-
OF movement will gain much from his
leadership.
Briefly summarized, his life follows.
He graduated from the Iowa state uni
versity in 1880; was Iowa's representative
in the interstate oratorical contest at
Oberlin; had charge for two years OF the
public schools OF Onawa, Iowa; gradual
ed from the law school of the state uni
versity in 1882; began practice Of law in
Minneapolis in 1882; on account Of his
health removed to North Dakota soon
afterward, being municipal Judge at Bis
marck for one year; returned to Mime
apolis in 1885 and resumed law practice; \;

Will Make the Improvements.
The people of the st. Johns branch of

be pleased to learn that the Great North.
ern company has agreed to make the
improvements in train service, requested
by the railroad commissioners. At the
meeting of that body held in the city
Last week, the following letter from M.
D. Grover, genesal solicitor, was read:
Since the meeting with the board in
which train service OF the line from
Churches Ferry to st. john was discussed,
and also the matter of constructing a plat
form at Omemee,. the company has chang
ed the schedule time and made provisions
in connection with train service, as fol-
lows.
Train will leave Devils Lake on Tues
days and Saturdays at II $50 in the fore
noon, arriving at st. Johns at 80 in the
afternoon. 1t will leave st. Johns on
Wednesdays and Sundays at 7:3O in the
morning, arriving at Devils Lake at 2:10,
in the afternoon,
1t is thought that the time for leaving
stations has bean so arranged that all nee
essary work may be done and the. time
schedule observed, the train will be run
upon the schedule time, unless prevented
by the elements. Apassenger car and ca
boOse has been in connection with the
train upon this line.
Smoking is permitted in the caboose,
which has been, or will be, provided with
heat, light and seats. Smoking in the pas
seDger coach has at all times been forbidden
Violation of this rule will demand and re-
ce:ve proper attention when brought to
the company's notice.
The business for a long time has not
been such as to justify the expense Incl
dent to additional train service. Should
business in the future be such as to justify
a demand for additional train srevice, the
matter will receive proper consideration.
Orders have been issued requiring that
employees at stations and upon trains should
give prompt information when called on
as to the movement of the trains. At
HOOple and Canton, arrangements have
been made for passengers to occupy the
office of the Robertson Lumber company;
also for stopping train at section house
near Bisbee, and section houses at other
places where there are no accommodations
for passengers, when it can be done with
out unreasonably delaying train.
A platform has been constructed at
Omemee as suggested by the commits
siOners.

Pleasure in California.

During the winter months the resi-

best of forbidding conditions and amuse
themselves in various ways by a large

but they have sport. They must be

with which very cold weather surrounds
them. All Of their efforts at amusement

Wool Growers Associations.

There will be a meeting of the wool
growers of the state of North Dakota,
held in this city, Tuesday, February
18th, for the purpose of organizing a
wool growers association.
For some time the sheepmen of the
western part of the state especially, have
been in correspondence among them
selves regarding the %expediency of or
ganizing a wool growers association, to
be entered into by all those in the state,
interested in the raising: Of sheep, and
the growing of wool. The rapid and
steady increase in the extent of sheep
interests has impressed the wool grow
ers with the advantages and necessity Of
some kind of organization for the pro-
lection and advancement of the wool
growing interests. The discussion thus.
begun among the leading wool growers,
has been earnest. They have been in
correspondence with the chamber of
commerce OF this city, and accordingly
it has been decided by them to hold the
meeting here.
To-day, invitations were. sent out to
the wool growers Of the state, to attend
and aid in. perfecting an organization,
by E. S.-AlleD, who is acting secretary
of the committee who have called the
meeting The invitations are extended
by e. Ell. Wilson of this city, Chas.
Krauth OF Mandan, and Dugald Camp
bell of Williansport, three of the lead
ing sheep Of the state, and each
of whora, ia deeply Interested in the per-
fection Of ar organization. The objects
of the meeting, as stated in the invita-
tion are
First-For the purpose Of preparing
and presenting to congress the views Of
the wool growers of North Dakota as. to
| what legislation is deemed best for the
advancement of the interests of the wool
! growers.
Second--For the purpose Of organic
ing an association of the wool growers of
the state, to further their interests.
The meeting Is to, be in no sense q
political one. The sole object OF the
committee in calling it, is that the or
ganiaation which may result shall be Of
permanent benefit TO the wool growing
interests of the state. All sheepmen are
invited TO be present, and to prepare
their views on the subjects to- be con
sidered and present them at the meet.

Tn, Grand Forks Water.

An analysis was made Thursday by
DR.. Vaughn of Ann Arbor, Mich, one of
the most famous psychologists in the
United States, of the water used in
Grand Forks. The water analysed was
taken at the intake of the city water
supply, inside the crib which strains out
the coarser impurities. His report
showed that the water had no odor, no
taste and no color. One drop was
placed on a gelatine tablet for culture,
to see if any germs would be developed.
In fifteen hours they had grown so
rapidly that the entire plate was COW
cred with them, and become fluid.
Some of the cultivation was injected
into two rats. At the end of twelve
hours n was dead and the other dying.
Water containing fifteen one hundreths
one part Of albuminoid ammonia was,
dangerous to health. This water con-
tanned seven full parts of albuminoid
ammonia.
"If," said DR.. DeVaux, in speaking of
the matter, "you saw a man take a.
spoonful Of liquid horse manure and put
it into a pail Of water, you would have to
be pretty thirsty before you would
drink from that pail. And yet ssthere
would not be as large a proportion of
albuminoid ammonia in that pail of
water, as there is in the Grand Forks
water, which some people up there still
persist in drinking without boiling. Dr..
DeVaux says he believes the proper way
to be to cremate all night soil and gar
bage, as is now done at the Bismarck
~penitentiary. He says it has made a
great change there, and lessened danger
of diseases arising from impure. water or
air.

Lots Of Trouble.

Mrs Wilson, the old lady who was.
taken in charge by police officials here
last Sunday, seems to be having a rather
thorny pathway east. The Fargo Re-
publican says: aThe old woman calling
herself Mrs. Watson arrived in the city
last night and at once hunted up a
policeman. Officer Tom Martinson was
met and asked for Is cents for a nights
lodging. Tom recognized her as, a female
tramp who paid the city a brief visit two
years ago, sc he took her to Chief Grant,
who ordered her put in Jail. At this she
vehemently protested and said she had
money to pay for her lodging, 30 was re-
leased. This morning it was learned B.
Smith had put up for the old woman's
lodging and breakfast at the Union
house. Inquiry at the express office de-
veloped the fact that NO baggage had
been received here for her. Mrs. Watson
is an inveterate alcohol fend and her
tales Of woe are mere fctions, SO every
one is warned against giving her money
as it will likely go for ~intoxicants. She
applied for alcohol at nearly every drug
store in town this morning but was re-
fused, and is probably now over in Moor
