during the winter to buck snow, and it
looks to us a little premature to dispense

John Cokerill returned from his winters
visit in Ontario last week. He is one of
the few-very few-who think it almost
as pleasant living in Ontario as here, but
then John has no wife and BARNS to make
it interesting in this country, so we for
give him.

is very little good land to be had there

ago renewing a subscription to the Pro
NEER for her daughter in Toronto-Mrs.
Ronald by name, and remarked in the

North Dakota Eagle: DR.. E. S. Fiske
left yesterday to take up his residence at
Bottineau. where he has entered into
partnership with Mr.. Kelley in the drug
business. The new firm proposes to put
in a large stock of drugs, toilet articles,
and in fact. a complete line of everything
that goes to make a first class drug store.
The doctor. however,, will continue his
practice as heretofore and will make reeu-
lar trips to Willow City on Friday of each
week with Office at the City Hotel.
Towner Graphic: At a meeting of the
Pierce County board of commissioners.
held April 9th, a resolution was passed
notifying the commissioners of Rottineau
County that the people of Pierce do not
intend to pay the alleged indebtedness
claimed by Bottineau. The claim is based
on the acquisition by Pierce of certain
territory taken from Bottineau some years
ago when the county boundaries we're al
tered and changed by an act of the legis-
lature. Several legal points can be raised
IN favor of Pierce county against the
claim, and it looks now as though Botti-
neau might as we'll cancel the claim as to
spend money trying to force a collection.
Maybe so maybe not. lust wait until
States Attorney Stewart gets after that
board of commissioners. They'll wish
they had never been born-or something.
