Child Fatally Burned

The 7-year-old son Of Fred Haver, a
bricklayer, of 1901 West Ninth street, died
Sunday night from the effects,of burns 1t
received eartr during the day. The child
had been left at home alone, and set fire to
a newspaper to try and burn some dry
leaves off fig tree. The child's clothing
caught fire and the boy fingered in agony
for several hours. Coroner Campbell did
not hold an inquest as the parents did not
think It necessary to investigate the case.

About Farming.

Mr.. Farmer! Are you farming tc
the best advantage?
Do you know how to increase you,
yield of wheat several bushels to the
acre?
Do you know the best kind of grass
for your locality?
Can you name the best variety o
corn for North Dakota?
How do you grow small fruits, OF
do you try what kind succeed?
How do you prevent wheat smut?
Or potato scab?
Or fight bugs?
Can you make live stock pay?
Why do you not get more for your
butter?
Do you know how to feed COWS to
the best advantage for butter produc.
ton?
For answers to these and a hundred
similar questions write to the state
Agricultural College at Fargo.
is the college doing anything for
the farmers of the state? Go and see,
If you can. If this is not convenient,
write. Ask for bulletins.
DAsk questions, and make a test of
the methods sent out by the Experiment
Station.
Do the Professors know anything
besides "book farming? They ought
to-; they raise dozens of crops in hum
dreds of ways. They also measure
and weigh them and are ready to give
you results. But they do not know
your name, nor where you live, nor
what you want. Whose fault is it?
Do your best to get your money back,
even if the college is costing you but
a few cents year Then if you are a
loser, you can make righteous COM
plant.
You may be able to help the college
some too.
The professors are wide awake for
information from all sources.
The manufacturers must keep.up to
date in new methods or go out of busi-
ness. Farming is getting to be that
way.
Are you up to date? Are you alive
to your own interests? Then join the
procession Of thinking and progressive
farmers.
Get your name on the Agricultural
College Bulletin list.
The rest may not be so very hard,
while that is very easy.

George B. Winship has given
it out that if the republican party
gives him the nomination he will
run for governor of this state,
but further says that he will
spend no money nor make a per-
sonal canvass for the nomination
in other words it must be a
case of the Office seeking the
man and not the man seeking the
office. The Courier has candi-
date of it's own-Hon. David Bart.
lett, a citizen of Cooperstown. and
a gentleman who, to our notion,
would make an ideal governor.
Mr.. Winship has very generous
ly given his support to Mr.. Bart
lett so far, and would no doubt
continue to warmly support him
should he receive the nomination.
and we believe Mr.. Bartlett
would reciprocate should Win.
ship be nominated. The Courier
hopes to see Mr.. Bartlett the
choice Of the republican party for
governor first. If he fails to
land the nomination then there
is no man we would rather see
nominated that Mr.. Winship.
Both gentlemen represent the
views of a majority of the repub-
blicans of this state, and either
one would make a governor for
the people.

has filled it to the honor of himself

Paying chattel Mortgage.

Hon. 81. U. Thomas, commissioners
of agriculture and labor for North
Dakota, makes the following interest
ing statement in the Bismarck Trib-
|une:
On January IA l sent an inquiry to
the register OF deeds of each county in
the state for information relative to
the amount of foundations in chattel
mortgages nor FOR the years of 1896 and
1897. My object in doing this was for
Immigration purposes, believing that
the farmers of this state are in q fairly
prosperous state and are each year
making a steady gain and paying Oft
their indebtedness. send out this in
quiry to the several counties with the
Intention of having the matter pub
llshed in full, showing what each indi-
vldual county was doing in this re-
spect.
Not meeting with the hearty re.
sponse that had expected, am un-
able to give to the public the figures
from the entire state, but only the
condensed figures from ten counties.
tributed over the state, they can te
taken as Il fair average of what the
state as whole has done the past
year. Some of the registers of deeds
have written me that if they could
have included the month of january,
1898, their showing would have been
much better. The total amount of
foundations in chattel mortgages
from the ten counties, out of total
OF thirty-nine in the state reported by
the register of deeds for 1896, is $780,.
JOB. The same for 1897, $l,O42, ,347;
net gain for 1897 over 1896, $292, PA.
Undoubtedly the figures from the
other counties would show up equally
we'll, judging from articles noticed in
our exchanges. A good crop and fair
price next fall will put the farmers on
Easy street.

G. j. Erlandson is hauling lumber
for what will be, when completed, the
largest residence In Mabel township.
Tuesday was the day for Helena
township annual scrapping match, we
haven't heard from there yet, but trust
there were no lives lost.
They do say it dropped like a
thunder clap, when the result was read
at Dover's annual town meeting. :. The
returns will show the cause.
The farmers are getting ready for
seeding in this reighborhood by clean
ing seed and getting tools in shape.
1t is reported that T. F. Robinson.
Of Helena, has purchased quarter
section of land from j. w. Fiero,
agent.
1t is also reported that John Knapp
has also purchased another quarter
sectio1 and expects to build on it this
spring.

bonanza belt of Griggs had better be
getting q hump on themselves, as there

Politics are commencing to
warm up some as is evidenced by
the articles being furnished the
Scandinavian papers by an al
legged citizen of Griggs county
the articles do not contain much
truth and seem to bear the ear
marks of a few politicians who
are trying to capture everything
in sight. The writer makes q
dirty attack on this paper, the
board of county commissioners
and the states attorney and then
proceeds to boost Mr.. Tufte for
the Office of states attorney. Mr..
Tufte may be all right but the
people of Griggs county have not
had time to find it out yet. He
will not be resident of the state
or a legal voter until next Octo-
Der and does not pay a dollar of
tax up to the present time. 1t
would be well for the distinguish
ed writer who is furnishing such
rot to the Decorah-Posten and
Scandinavian not to be too hasty
in telling the plans of the few
who intend to revolutionize mat
ters in this county next fall. and
to bear in mind that often "the
best laid plans of mice and men
aft gang aglae."
