A New Outlet.

Fargo believes, from information fur
nished from reliable source" that the
500 will build line into that city inside
Of q year. The new road is to run from
the main line at Enderlln in q north
easterly direction to Fargo, thence IN the
same direction to Grand Rapids, or Deer
River, hourishing towns on the Missis-
sippl, in Minnesota, 16O miles east Of
Fargo, where connection will be made
with what is known as the Duluth &
Winnipeg road, which has been built to
Deer River at the outlet Of Lake Wlnn!-
bigosnish for year or more.
THIS line will give the 500 an outlet to
the head of the lakes but trife longer
than the Northern Pacific, and several
hundred miles shorter than the Great
Northern and Milwaukee.

Stock Prices Lower.

"Soft weather" has caused decreased
price in cattle, hogs and sheep in Chi
cago. The decline is expected to last
until colder weather. On Tuesday last
the hog market sagged heavily, reaching
the lowest point in months and probably
the lowest point that will be touched for
some time to come. The depression Is
caused by soft weather and curtailed de.
mand IN the east, caused by farmers
marketing hogs at points that draw
heavily on this market for supplies.
The sheep market has been dull and
lost about SOC in prices during the first
part OF the week, but on Thursday a re-
action set IN and the market, under
lighter receipts. has steadily improved.
The prospects are little more favorable
The run OF Texas cattle has been light
and the demand quite good, making an
active market at steady prices. On Fri
days market calves brought $3.50, cows

able to his friend, E. Butler, of 325

with Mr.. Yost at Omaha for year and

states that he met Yost on Saturday,
Dec. !, two days after he was reported to
have worked for W G. Wesley. Yost
said that he had sold his business in
Portland and had $500 to invest. He
promised to call on Mr.. Butler the next
day, but did not come. Yost was we'll

Funeral of George Webster.

The body of the late cashier. George
Webster, reached Charlottesville, Ind,
last Wednesday afternoon, accompanied
by his sister and Messrs. Klaus and
Walsh of this city. There were short
funeral services at the old home on
Washington street at 3 o'clock, the cere-
monies being similar to those occurring
here. Many friends OF the deceased and
the family were present and followed the
remains to their final abode in beauti-
full cemetery near Charlottesville. Many
regrets were expressed at the untimely
death Of one in the prime of life.
The Charlottesville Evening journal,
speaking of the funeral and services
adds: There we're number of very ele-
giant floral designs, three very beautiful
ones being from his jamestown friends
an open ledger from the bank officials, a
Tyre from the Bachelors club and a
broken column from his associates at the
hotel.' The death was very sad one and
a most excellent young man was cut
down ia his vigor."

Slight Changes,

From incomplete reports received from
the school districts in the county it is
believed that the completed school cen
sus will show slight changes in the total
school population. But it will show that
there have been many changes in the dis
tricts themselves. There are gains IN
some districts and losses IN those ad
joining which would seem to indicate
that this population. during the past
year, has been unstable. In Homer dis
trict, which includes Spiritwood station,
there is loss of 80, most of which, it is
believed, has been absorbed by the city
of jamestown. Other districts show
small losses and gains, which about bal
ance each other. Since the completion
OF the census in the city about twenty
additional pupils, unenumerated, have
been discovered. This will increase
the ppportionment from the state
school funds to the city to total Of
about $1,000 per annum in excess Of
what it has been heretofore.

The City School Census.

The school census just completed
shows that there are $50 children Of
school age IN tho city-an increase OF liz
over the census taken year ago. George
McGregor, who did the work, made q
house to house canvass, and the resnlt ls
accurate. The totals show that there
are 32S girls and 81 boys in the city,
divided among the four wards % fol-
lows: First. Is boys, 80 girls; second
l22 boys, l0s girls; third, GO boys. 50
girls, and fourth, "a boys. Il girls. The
largest number OF children found in any
one family was six, there being several
that large. The increase in the number
of children of school age in the city
means that from $500 to 500 more
money per year will be received from the
state tuition fund.

iority or plurality in every county in the
state, the county which came nearest to
being carried against him being Cavalier,
wnere he has plurality Of one vote over
F. NJ. Kinter. Seven counties gave ma
jorities against the republicans-Barnes,
Bottineau, Cavalier, Dickey, Pembina,
Sargent and Walsh. The prohlbitionist

largely, as the prohibition candidate for
congress received but 439 votes; for CON-
missioner OF agriculture but 66l votes,
and for auditor GA votes, while E. E.
Saunders polled but 884 votes. On the

Closing Exercises.

This term of the city schools will close
Friday afternoon at three O'Clock.
A special invitation is extended to the
people of jamestown to visit us on that
day and see what we are doing. It has
been decided to let the program of the
day consist of partial review of the
work that has been done during the
term, and to spend very little time in the
preparation of special rhetorical exer-
eises. The plan does not contemplate
any sort OF examination, with questions
and answers-prepared beforehand, but

seem to be fond of speaking pieces" a

undervalue the memorizing Of good selec
tlons, but we desire to focus the atten-
ton OF our patrons upon the work that
more properly constitutes the function

Indians Raising Stock.

Captain Clapp OF Fort Berthold In
dian agency, in his annual report to the
United States government, says that
whole fields of grain we're destroyed by
gophers at Devils Lake reservation;
Fort Totten, and this plague is held
largely responsible for the great mis-
fortune of Indians during the year.
These Indians are so poor that the loss
of an OK or horse means abandonment of
their farm. The industrial future OF In
dians and their ability to become self
supporting, depends on stock raising.
Sharp disciplinary treatment has stop.
ped the heretofore frequent unautLor-
lzed killing of animals and horned stock
is rapidly increasing. Droughts and
blighting hot winds have made Standing
Rock agency unadapted to agriculture
and this year many of the fields are
total failure. This uncertainty OF rails
ing crops has made stock raising the
leading industry, and in this consider
able progress is reported

FARM NOTES

Peter Fried, we'll known Stutsman
county farmer. in speaking OF black-leg
which has made its appearance among
range cattle in the western part OF the
state, offers the following remedy which
he has found effective: Insert in the dew
lap OF the animal piece Of twine-
either doubled or quadrupled-which has
been soaked IN tnrpentine. Another
method which he has used with success
is to place, just underneath the skin, An
onion; few stitches will hold the skin
over the onion. The effect of the onion
he says, IS the same as that OF turpentlne.
The disease attacked his stock at one
time and number of his best and fattest
calves were destroyed. The poor ones
were not attacked. He believes that the
disease is due in part to neglect; in Civ
ing stock too much dry feed without
plenty OF water, and also to letting them
stay out nights IN rough weather.
The meeting of the Society OF United
+ dEm0FS WulCu WdS ucIu III Od6SclGOu
Dec. 18th, was success, though not
so we'll attended as 1t was hoped it would
be. 1t made up IN interest, however
what it lacked in this respect. and the
several subjects treated-"Creameries
and Cheese Factories for North Dakota"

by j. w. Burnham, Of Wheatland; ;
nitrogen and Summer following" by
Prof. Ladd OF the N. D. A. &. and "Do-
mestic Science, "by Miss Marie B.Senn OF
the N. D. A. O.-were handled in good
shape. Prot. Ladd advocated the use of
cream separators where half dozen
COWS are kept. Enough cream would be
saved to pay for the machine and the
condition of both cream and milk was
far superior for oil purposes. The pref
erence was given to hot water for killing
smut in wheat. He also advocated the
rotation OF crops, such rs wheat one
year, corn one year, and clover two years.
Hon. j. w. Burnham advised the use OF
cottonwood, willow. soft maple and wal
nut trees. The regular election Of officers

was held and the present officers re-

Glendale Record: There is no reason
why cabbsges should he shipped into

can be raised here as we'll as elsewhere.

irrigated will yield more profit than a
