GAINED OVER S3OO,0OO
DICKINS0N'S PROSPERITY Is
STEADILY INCREASING.
The County Has Fully Sl5,000,000
Worth Of Property and Is in a
splendidly Prosperous Condition
Comparative Figures on Valuation.

The county clerk has received the
railway valuation Of the county and
has completed the readjustment Of
the taxable valuation Of real and per-
sonal property as ordered by the
board Of equalization. The total
shows gain in taxable valuation for
the county Of $lO6,l74. The total
valuation Of the county is $4,6l7,407
which, it should be remembered, is
on q basis OF one-third to one.fourth,
giving the county at least $4,000, 900
worth Of property at its real value.
The showing is an admirable one and
the fact that the county has gained
something more than 100000 (actual
value) in year proves its prosperity.
The comparative figures are given as
follows:
Griggs courier., 1898-09-08

Two weeks ago Mr.. Benjamin
Tufte was asked by our Hanna
ford correspondent to define his
position on the temperance ques-
ton or the enforcement of the
prohibitory law if he should be
elected states attorney. The
question raised by our CORES
pondent were made in good faith
and should receive at least courte-
Gus consideration, but instead Of
that this brilliant desciple of
Blackstone comes back by jumping
onto somebody who has not even
thought Of the question and then
crawls into his hole, pulls the
hole in after him, as it were, and
hides himself behind section 1904
Of the statutes of North Dakota
and doesn't even say q thing
about his position on the ques-
tion at issue. We don't know
that people can be blamed for
asking questions when it is the
common talk of the fool friends Of
thedistinguished legal light made
on all the street corners that if
elected he would favor the liquor
element. The Courier up to this
time had not said word for or
against Mr.. Tufte's candidacy
but he takes the initiative and
from lack of stamina to put
himself on record proceeds to
roast the editor of the Courier.
Mr.. Tufte is the nominee for one
of the most important Offices in
the gift of the people and as q
candidate the people have right
toask him to define his position
on any and all questions they see
fit and he should be man enough
to place his position before the
people without resorting to a
roast Of the editor of this paper
or anyone else. Silence is equal
to assent and the people will
have to take it for granted that
the charges are true. Mr.. Tufte,
Griggs courier., 1898-09-08

The Sentinel invites the Courier
to hereafter discuss the real is
sues before the people, we pre-
sumo like unto the intelligent
manner in which the intellectual
giant of the Sentinel treats sub.
jects of Importance. This is the
way the editor of the Sentinel
treats q very important event in
the history of this nation, in q
manner which is no doubt calcu-
lated to instruct the readers of
that paper:
'The raising of the stars and
stripes in Honolulu is reported
as being. Q very interesting cere-
mony. Such q concourse of
whiskers as the Hon Shelby M.
Cullom and President Dole put
up had never been seen on the
islands and made the exercise so
much more impressive"
Griggs courier., 1898-09-08

The populist papers are send
ing up quite a howl because the
advertised list of school lands
are being published in republican
papers, and the Valley City Ad-
vocate almost collapses over the
matter and says that that is the
way the republican papers are
bought by their party. Let's
see. Under the Shortridge
administration when Mr.. Will
liams was land commissioner,
the populist papers had this same
job. OF course that was all right,
then-none of those papers were
bought by their party. Rats,
Clark, you are getting childish.

Griggs courier., 1898-09-08

won't be until October, displays
considerable nerve in coming
here and asking an election at
the hands Of the people just as
quick as he got within the coun-
ty limits. He is unknown prac-
tically and his ideas on any sub
iect are not known to the people
while his opponent has been here
ever since the town started and
Mr.. Carleton's position is known
by everybody in this county.
Who is this man ,rufte that he
should come up from Mime
sofa and run for Office before he
is voter even let alone tax
payer? It requires lots of gall
and he seems to have lots of it.
He had not been in Griggs coun-
ty one month before his friends
were sending letters for
publication to the Scandinavian
papers, and in those letters the
Courier, states attorney and
board of county commissioners
came in for q roast and Mr..
Tufte's boom for states attorney
was launched. He may not have
written these articles himself but
he knows who did write them
and did before they were pub
lished. Certain it is that the
nti-temperance element of
Griggs county are working for
Mr.. Tufte's election and that in
itself speaks louder than words.
Mr.. Tufte winds up his lengthy
disquisition full of sound fury,
signifying nothing" by saying
that IF the Hannaford CORES
pondent wants to find out any
more he will have to consult
others. :" Considering the fact
that the voters do not know Mr..
Tufte and all that he knows
about himself according to his
own statement is contained in
that meaningless article in last
weeks Sentinel. we are con.
strained to think that the voters
are placed in the position Of not
being able to learn anything
about the gentleman, therefore
we feel as if a stronger reason
vas given for supporting Mr.
Carleton. The nomination of Mr.
Tufte by the Independents was
made because there was no other
candidate, and the nomination
appeared to be unanimous II
view Of this fact, yet there were
, many delegates, good solid men
too, in that convention who woule
not have voted for him if they
had had q chance to do otherwise
simply because they are not il
accord with the gentleman
views on the issue now being
argued. Mr.. Tufte admits in hi
!. great ..vindication" article tha
the rumor was known to most O
the delegates, therefore ther'
, must be some fire where there il
SO much smoke. AS ''a vindica
ton" for the gentleman on tn
! line asked by our Hannafort

article is indeed a ''hot tamale.

Griggs courier., 1898-09-08

The state press has been busy
discussing the advisability of the
next legislature passing a prim-
ary election law and we believe
that the agitation on the question
will result in q bill being
brought up before the next ses-
sion of our state law makers.
The Times Record would sug-
gest that the law should provide
that all municipal, county and
legislative nominations should be
made by direct vote Of the peo-
pie; that is, that republicans
should vote for their nominees
by ballot as they did under the
old form of voting, and the per-
sons receiving the highest num-
ber of votes should be the nomi-
nees for their respective parties;
that delegates to the state con-
ventions be elected in the same
manner. This would make long
campaigns, but long campaigns
dent hurt the peoples inter-
ests in Barnes county and prob
ablv won't in other sections.

The sixteen-to-one-ers may be
able to get q good campaign
grievance out of the present
situation, after all. They used
to howl that there wasn't
enough gold for all-it was 1.-The
rich mans money" and the
common people never saw it
unless they put up two-for-one
in the products of their sweat to
get it. Now, however, the pub
lie treasury is full of gold and
getting fuller and Secretary
Gage is laying awake nights to
hatch schemes to make the COM
mon people accept more of it in
their business-and the populists
can now howl that the bloody
gold-bug power is literally COM
pelling the people to use gold.
while Wall street can use what it
chooses.-Grand Forks Herold
The old crash between the
news and editorial columns of a
paper was illustrated in the
Duluth Herald Of one day last
week, says the Cloquet Pine
Knot. The news columns stated
that there was plenty of work
for men. They were in demand
around Duluth, at from 81 to $6
per month more than last year,
for logging. This is undoubted-
ly a plain statement Of fact, and
carries it's own moral. The edi-
torial page infers that the cour-
try is going rapidly to the devil,
and can only be checked on the
road to ruin by W. ]. Bryan and
..16 to l." Like every other
argument the free silverites
bring up it contradicts itself. Ad-
mitting prosperity in one SEN
tence and then contradicting the
fact in another. It is no wonder
that q party built up on such q
mass of inconsiste tencies newt
ably fails.

Judge by the Republicans of Payne

we congratulate ourself that he is still in

left this county for Oklahoma a few
years ago. We are glad to learn that the
Judge has survived the ''arrows of out

has many friends in Ford county who
would be glad to hear Of his election.
He will make good probate judge, as

The Rocky Ford Times-Republican
gives this week some very interesting
and astonishing figures in regard to the
cantalope industry in the Arkansas valley
Of Colorado. The shipments were made
BY the Melon Growers association, hav-
ing members oil along the valley from
Pueblo to the State line. LAST week the
shipment Of cantaloupes amounted to
s., SS5 crates, and in addition 30 cars Of
watermeloBs were shipped, the value Of
the entire shipment being 500. 900. 1t re-
quired 202 cars to carry the cantaloupes.
The melon growers Of this part Of the
valley should make an effort to get into
the Colorado association, or form one Of
their own.
