Hon. r. N. Stevens will be the orator
Of the day at Glen Ullen on the 4th.
The North Dakota Press association
will hold it's annual meeting at Wahpe.
ton on July 18th.
W. X. Marvel is in from Logan:
"Crops are looking much better; another
day of hot winds would have knocked
us out"
Company \ of the N. D. N. G. will be
out on the Fourth, dressed as their for.
mer comrades will be when they start
for the tropics.
If our farmers could manage the
weather they could not do better than
the powers that be are doing. This is
another all round stimulating and grow
ing day.
All the Bismarck fireman have re-
turned from the state tournament.
They speak in terms of highest praise of
the people of Casselton. The tourna-
ment was Il decided success.
John G. Boren of Menoken called to
say that "the prospects for a good crop
of both grain and grass are much better.
I believe we will have enough to feed
the hoppers, gophers, the hungry east
and tho Httla Opac nt homo
The Bismarck band, clothed in white,
will lead the procession and stir the
hearts of all those who are SO fortunate
as to be with us on the Fourth. The
band will be stationed during the eve
! ming neal where the rockets and bombs
are let go.
No city in the STATE can boast of more
or prettier trees than has Bismarck.
Those who have planted and taken care
of trees are now we'll repaid for their
labor and cost by the graudure Of the
many trees in full foliage. The school
house and capitol grounds are beauti-
fed and shaded by healthy rapidly
growing groves of box elder, ash and
cottonwood trees. And many Of our
streets are shaded for several blocks by
trees.
An old retired army officer who spent
twenty years in the northwest says
shat the location of a cavalry post on
the Missouri at Bismarck is a good
plan. It would be of great advantage
to the government and to the cavalry
men and the horses. The climate is
healthy, food and feed in abundance, fuel
and the best of pure water right at the
post, and no better grounds in the
country for cavalry evolutions or for
movements by rail east or west"
One of our leading citizens who pre-
fers to not have his name mentioned
says the Klondike exodus was a good
thing in one way-that we got rid of
thousands of worthless dogs. Then
after some hesitancy he expressed the
wish that some other craze would
take off or kill ten thousand more. He
asks what do people want with so many
dogs. His attention was called to the
song "Poor dog tray ever faithful and
kind" but it did not cure him. He
hates dogs.
Henry Baumgart of Burnt creek came
in today to do some trading. Henry is
one of the boys who went onto govern
ment land with his strong hands as cap
ital. He has done much better than
many who had both strong hands and
money. He says they had several good
rains out that way during the dry spell
in other parts; that Geo. Joy, Hiram
Joy, Joe Jennings and John Myers have
a good stand of grain; that his stand is
good, and that where the fire burnt the
grass last fall it is not good this season.
In the contest between Senator Hans
brough and Representative Fletcher
over the post leadership at Standing
Rock agency, the senator's representa-
tons have prevailed, and the license
now held by Douglas d Mead will be
extended six months, which is virtually
a withdrawal. The Indian commits
sioner has issued a license to w. c..
Badger of Mandan, N. D., for one year
on the recommendation of the North
Dakota senator. Senator Hansbrough
told Commissioner Jones that he OBJ
jected to outsiders holding lucrative
places like that of trader and added
it was but just that these positions
