a fashionable emporium, but the en-
semble was perfect.
An ideal waist for summer is one OF
black lace with belt and collar of old
rose satin. But it is by no means cool,
as the waist must be made over silk or
satin lining, which in turn is often laid
on foundation of percaline. A broad
collar of lace, made over stitfened
lining, finished with rufie Of the lace,
the whole extending far past the shout
der, is considered part of the summer
waist.
The Dutch bonnet and the picture hat
are popular forms Of head-gear for full
dress functions, and the white or black
sailor for every day. A furore exists
for the white sailor hat and the white
face veil, they being worn by all
classes and ages, from the miss to her
modern grandmother.
Patent leather ties and brown cloth
shoes foxed with Russia leather, and
canvas shoes tipped with alligator, are
all exploited this season. But the toes,
oh, the toesl They are a foreshadow-
ing of what is coming--the pointed toe
rolled over. A morsel of cotton bat
ting, or bit Of sponge, is wedged into
the point of the toe to keep its sharp
outline perfect White shoes are also
in evidence with light summer gowns.
Sailor collars are decided favorites for
summer wear. A black and white
striped cambria, with collar Of black
linen lawn, and deep black cuffs, makes
charming afternoon dress. II the
cambria is blue and white make the
sailor of solid blue. Somehow collar
of that kind has negligee effect that
is most becoming to young and pretty
faces. 1t may take courage to wear a
last years gown, but those who have
them avoid the stigma of being new"
1t is like having ancestors to fall back
on. Forbears always command re-
spect. DoLABELLE.

CANADA'S NEW FLAG.
Number Of Appropriate Designs sug-

Canada wants new flag, and her
most patriotic sons are at work devils
ing fitting emblem wherewith to sup
plant the old standard. The one here
reproduced, says Once Week, is the
design of Mr.. Stanford Fleming, c. M.
G., the originator of the Pacific cable
scheme. 1t is a red flag with the Union
Jack in the upper left-hand corner
and white star of seven points in the
lower right-hand corner. The seven
points represent the seven provinces,
and Mr.. Fleming suggests that in the
event of admitting a new province or
provinces the number of points in the
star could easily be increased. No ex-
ception can be taken to this flag on the
score of beauty and simplicity, but
there seems to be a general desire on
the part of Canadians to see their ma

GRAND FORKS COUNTY.

Grand Forks county was created from
part Of Pembina In 1873 and organized
by act Of the legislature in January Of
that year, George B. Winship, John w.
Stuart and Ole Thompson were appoint
ed commissioners. There were no land
entries till 1874, and little farming de-
velopment in the county prior to 1879.
In 1880 the number Of farms was 1.O30,
averaging forty-one acres, in 1895 the
number Of farms is 2,O6O. In 1880 the
leading products Of Grand Forks coun-

Falling on I'm Laying.

When the hens begin to lose flesh,
cease laying, and the combs fail to re-
tain the natural red color, there must
be cause. The farmer looks for lice
and finds none. He then ascribes the
difficulty to the food, tries many ex-
periments, but no improvement is
shown on the part Of the hens. Now.
In ninety-ni cases out Of hundred
the hens are attacked by large lice on
the heads, and as no one searches
close to the skin to detect their pres.
ence, the hens secure no relief, al
though a few drops Of lard or sweet
oil would restore them to health. At
this season never omit to search close.

Dy Iuf companies, out the drSt actual
settlers coming here to make this terri
tory their home arrived in the summer
Of 1867 and settled near Vermillion,
South Dakota.
An effort was made In 1859 to secure
the territorial form Of government, but
the prayer was unheeded, and efforts
were renewed in 1851, when President
Buchanan approved the organic law
giving to Dakota territorial govern
ment on the % Of March Of that year,
but it was eleven days after the pass
ing Of the law before the news reached
Yankton. The Territory Of Dakota
then embraced all Of Montana and q
portion Of Idaho.
The officers Of the new political sub
division were appointed by President
Lincoln, but did not arrive here to en-
ter upon the discharge Of their duties
until mid summer. and for several
years they found 1t more convenient,
and probably pleasanter, to spend the
winter at their Eastern homes than to
remain at their posts of duty.
TO show that self-government was
not then deemed proper for Dakota It
ls interesting to note that of the new
officers one came from each Of the
States Of Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Tennessee, Minnesota, Michigan and
two from Maryland.
In the fall Of 1851 two newspapers
were established in the southern part
Of the territory, and Gen. Todd Of
Fort Randall was elected delegate to
congress, receiving 397 votes, while O.
p. Booge had 40 and A. ]. Bell 78.
This shows the extremely small popu,
tation at that time.
In 1862 the only recognition of North
Dakota in the legislature is that the
Fourth district was called the Big
Sioux and Red River district, but at
the session Of the legislature that win
ter North Dakota was formed into Q
separate legislative district called the
Red River. It was in this year also
that the hrst presumption and first

Walsh county was created In 1881
from parts Of Pembina and Grand
Forks, and their statistics for 1880
therefore show portions Of this county.
George p. Harvey, VIM. Code and B.
G. Askelon were the commissioners to
organize. In 1885 the county produced
2,497, 893 bushels Of wheat, $50 Of corn,
800, 72O of oats, $50 Of rye, 600 Of buck
wheat and 72,6O7 Of barley; in 1894 the
acreage harvested was 24O, SOS; In 1905
the acreage sown, 249,S61.

Of the legislature Maj. g. I. Foster,
now Of Fargo, was named chief clerk
II the house Of representatives, while
G.. N. Proper was the secretary of
the council, and Hon. Enos Stutsman
Its president.
Up to 1865 there were no railroads In
the territory, and even no well defined
wagon roads, except one or two trails
between frontier posts, but in that
gear congress appropriated $4,000 for
the opening Of wagon roads. This 10

cast was 4,579.
In 1870 the only organized county.
In what Is now North Dakota, was
Pembina. The largest towns being
Pembina and st. Joseph.
1t is also interesting to note that
the pioneer boomers sent out at this
time the glowing statement that the
northern half Of the territory was so
fertile that 1t could support with ease
population Of 100000. In those days
1t is probable this was taken with an
allowance Of several grains Of salt
but every one will concede to-day,
that the same country will readily sup.
port millions Of human beings.
Twenty-Five years ago sugar was
worth 18 cents pound, salt pork Is
cents per pound, coal oil so cents per
gallon, dried apples 20 cents per pound,
pine siding $35 per 1000, inch pine
$75 per 1000. and house logs 30 cents

out on an exploring tour, and after
visiting Iowa, Dakota, Nebraska, Kan

City of Mexico, Feb. 1.-The various
industrial organizations of this repub-
lie and OF border points in the United
States are making elaborate prepar.
atoms for an immense demonstration in
favor of the Mexican government in it's
dealings with the Guatemala question.
The fifty or more unions which will

mala. Aside from w~orkingmen's
unions from all over Mexico, delegates
will be present from the colonies OF
Meqicans living along the borcer in
Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Cali
~fornia, and who have already expressed
their readiness TO fight for their
mother country when needed. En-.
thusiasm is running high among all the
labor organizations of the country and
the gathering is expected to be Il large
one.
A large committee, representing the
united labor organizations of Mexico,
was received by President Diaz at the
palace. The chief executive was ad.
dressed at length on the feelings OF
patriotism which inspire the working
men of Mexica at this time Of impend.
ing danger to the republic and its in.
situations.
General Diaz replied that IL was very
gratifying for him to see that nnw, as
In all past times of war in Mexico, jas.
tice and right had found their defend
ers in those ready to use the cannon
and upsheath the sword. and IL was q
great pleasure for him TO serve such
a country. where it's people al
all times observed the religion of
patriotism. He still hoped the dispute
with Guate nala might remain within
the boundaries of diplomacy and
be settled without the splitting OF Mex
lean blood. but this did not detract
from the pleasure it gave him TO feel
that, come what might, government
and people would stand together in a
common cause. The general urged the
editors tn use at all times greas discre-
ton in their demonstrations of patri-
otism and by word or deed offend no
one, as in this way tho dignity of the
nation in general can be maintained
which should be the wish of every citi-
zen rs it Is of the government. In
closing the president again thanked
the working men for the honor they
had shown him and Mexico and the
practical proof they had presented,
that IL Mexico be in need, its integrity
and honor will have the backing OF

reason for the change lies in the fact
the railroad facilities of the counties

that the measure will pass as ii is sup
