That telegram from Col. Miller, of
Jamestown, to the members Of Co. E.
caused quite furry among the boys.
All our citizens should observe
Arbor day tomorrow according to the
usual custom by setting out or planting
trees.
The early pioneer days have arrived.
The mail is now carried by stage over
distance of 80 miles-from Pembina
to Langdon.
It is said that an offer of 800 per
day failed to secure a telegraph opera
tor at the Great Northern depot in
Grand Forks last week.

selves of hand car locomotion and

We learn that last Monday the bust
ness men of Milton started hauling
groceries and provisions from Grafton
with four-horse teams. Their stock
of goods having been completely ex-
hausted.
The train showed up last night look
ing about the same as usual after its
stay down at Larimore for eighteen
days. The band was down at the de-
pot on it's arrival and greeted the train
boys to several tunes in honor of the
victory they had achieved over capital.
Hurrah for labor!
The news Of the battle did not seem
to intimidate the boys of Co. e. last
Tuesday evening as all those in town
promptly showed up at the Armory at

rollment were received and Langdon
is bound to send one of the best COM

With the return Of summer evenings
our sidewalks are nightly the scene of
pedestrians taking their constitutional
walk. An observing eye cannot fail
to remark that in many places the
driving of a nail or laying of a new
plank would greatly improve things.
Why not have this done at once?
Now that we have the fish and game
protector with us it might be we'll for
our local nimrods to become familiar
with the game law which we believe
is not thoroughly understood. 1t is
unlawful to kill ducks or prairie
chickens between Dec. and Aug. 20
of the following year. Geese are con-
sidered lawful prey at any time of the
year, but the law imposes a fine for
one man to kill more than twenty-five
geese. brant, plover or snipe on any
one day, and also makes it unlawful
to ship any of the above game out of
the state as per compiled laws, 1887,
sections 1859 and 1881, which have
never been repealed.
The decision of the Langdon city
school board to have the school grounds
enclosed with suitable fencing and the
enclosure planted with trees is certain
ly a move which will receive the COM
mendation of every citizen. We have
beautiful school house, finely located,
with ample grounds surrounding it and
when it is enclosed with neat fence
and planted with trees it will indeed
be an ornament to our city. Two
hundred trees are to be planted on the
school grounds and the entire premises
will be surrounded with 900 feet OF
fence, A notice published elsewhere
