Not cloud in the sky and mercury
above freezing. That's the kind of
weather we have had this week.
LastThursday was democratic field
day in the national house. Reform
triumphed by vote of 204 to 40.
We are happy to state that there is
little sickness in our midst and hope
that providence will still defend us.
School officers should bear in min d
that they are required by law to pub
fish the treasurer's report Of their
respective school districts.
A professor at the Univerity Of
Michigan analizes and experiments
with sample of Grand Forks drink
ing water and discovers that it will
kill white rat in twelve hours.
The people of Grand Forks are ship
ping carload lots of mineral water into
their city. The firms handling the
same ask the consumers to beware of
limitations and guarantee it absolutely
pure. Whoever heard of imita ton of
water? v
Quite number of our townswomen
continue to put on muscle at the Del
sarten physical culture class. Per-
haps the day is nigh at hand when the
gentler sex of our city will hold office
from mayor down to marshal. Oh
Lord how soon!
There was good crowd at the ice
rink last Thursday evening to see the
the masquerade carnival and witness
the skating contests. Tom Reed was
the winner of the two mile skating
race, his opponent being George
Cherrier. Everybody had lots of fun
and the band boys are we'll satisfied
with the receipts.
The young people of Langdon have
had a lively time of it during the past
week. What with the masquerade
carnival, military ball and private
parties it has been one continual round
of pleasure. All believe in enjoying
life in its morning 'ere the light wakes
dim, when the voice of the ruler shall
cry "douse the glim."
Every voter in the City of Langdon
should make an effort to attend the
mass meeting at the City Hall on Sat-
urday night and do his utmost toward
the reorganization Of our fire depart
ment. The boys are all good fire
fighters, but manifest interest on the
part of our business men is required
to make it success. 1t is a matter
of common welfare that a thorough
live fire department be organized, for
without department our new appara-
rus might as we'll be in-China. Turn
out Saturday night at the City Hall.
The boundary line railroad is being
agitated by prominent citizens in
Cavalier, Towner, Rolette and Botti-
neau counties. Better railroad facili-
ties is an important matter in order to
develope these northern tier of counties
and get the vacant land settled upon.
The Towner County Tribune suggests
that road be built from Grafton west
ward, to connect with the 500 at the
boundary, and further has wisely
called mass meeting to be held at
Rolla on the 10th day of March for the
purpose of effecting an organization.
Every township is requested to send
delegate to the mass meeting. This
is a move in the right direction and
should be heartily responded to-
