NORTH DAKOTA banks come to
the front for a good slice of the
popular loan" bonds. Outside
of Fargo the First National Bank
of Dickinson leads those of the
state-with $4,000. The Fourth
National Bank of Columbus,
Ohio, takes the palm-s1 900, 900.
However, it is generally believed
that the popular loan talk is mere
ly to throw the people off the
track and that the bond syndi-
cate will finally come in for the
purchase. If President Cleveland
had wanted the people to have a
chance to get the bonds, why did
he not fix it so anybody could go
to any money order postoffice
and deposit a stipulated amount
and take the bonds?

The Inter Ocean compliments
the commissioners of Ramsey
county for purchasing the assess
ment books of a Grand Forks
firm and patronizing state indus
tries. The Grand Forks bid was
less than outside houses, but the
Inter Ocean says: Even if out
side bids had been a trifle lower
than the local one, it seems as if
it would have been good policy
to have kept the work in the
state. North Dakota for North
Dakotans is a motto we can all
indorse, and to that end the per.
nicious practice a great many
county officials have of sending
outside the state for their books
blanks and supplies should b.
done away with.

Land Commissioner Phipps Interested
In Stark County.

In STARK county,
In my recent interview with Mr..
Phipps, the N. P. land commissioner,
I noticed that he became very much
interested in the description tried
to give him of the peculiar condi.
tions of Stark county with regard to
new settlers as distinguished from
the James or the Red river valleys,
for which places the N. F., as Mr..
Phipps told me, had been doing so
much in the way of literature and
the appointment of special agents to
write up those places. He finally
concluded that the best thing he
could do would be to send out q
special agent for this section, max
ing Stark county the centre and have
him write up the peculiar conditions
with view to having them pub
lished and distributed, which Of
course will be entirely at the ex
pense of the company.
need hardly say that it would b
difficult to estimate the importance
of this move for our county. A few
days ago received a very kind let
ter from Mr.. PMpps in which b
stated that he would be v cry gratefu
for any information from any partie
who have come in years past, to thi
part Of North Dakota concerning tn
SUCCESSES they have met with in an!
way.

The new code-section III
provides that all school boards
shall cause to be published in the
nearest paper the annual report
of the school treasurer. The
PRESS publishes three of these re-

should come in for publication as
soon as convenient. If clerks
will send the PRESS the treasurer's

make up the notice necessary for
publication, and will return the
report carefully preserved.

LITERARY NOTES,

The current number of The Art
Amatuer is really a marvel both in
the richness and variety of its con.
tents and the beautiful care and fin,
ish of its production. 1t is abso.
lutely indispensable to every lady of
culture, and every man who appre.
ciates art in the household should
see that at least one copy comes in
the home to stay every month.

to their lethargy and disease. Inaction of the
kidneys 1t should be remembered, is the first

which the resources Of medical science are too
often exhausted in vain. Peril is forcstallcd by
the Bittcrs, which averts Brights disease, diabe-
ties, dropsy, gravel and the troubles arising from

checking and eradicatng malarial, bilious and
rheumatism. Appetite and sleep are improved

impaired, the value Of this restorative and pre-
