Fl Park River Mans Experience With Sectio
Of Cavalier GOuntq Land.

Il Park River Mans Experience With Section
Of Cavalier County Land.
Last week the Park River News gave
considerable space to an interview it had
with we'll knowp farmer of that neigh
borhood, Mr.. John Wadge, giving that
gentleman's first experience Of farming
in Cavalier county. It covers period
of less than year and though nothing
phenomenal in the way of results gives
a fair idea of what little capital and
business management in farming will do.
The facts substantially rs told by the
News man are noted as follows:
"About the middle of the month of
May, this year, Mr.. Wadge was ap-
preached by an acquaintance who desired
to sell quarter section of land he owned
in Cavalier county, not far from the new
town of Wales and near Rush Lake.
Mr.. Wadge went up to SEQ the place,
which was owned by Fred Trody, and his
Investigations led him to not only pur-
chase the land, but also the adjoining
quarter owned by r. Pengilly. For the
two quarters he paid $500 and 5000 re-
spectively. Finally Mr.. Wadge secured
the remaining half of the section, and
payed for the entire GAO acres the nomi-
nal price of So, 100.
Under Mr.. Wadges personal supervi-
sion and with the services of two men
and four horses, SIS acres were seeded
with flax, 20 acres seeded with wheat and
Is acres seeded with barley. Seeding
was begun May Goth and the yield of the
above acreage turned out as follows:
Flax, l, 100 bushels; wheat, $50 bushels;
barley, 500, all of which, except that re-
served for seed, has been marketed and
sold. realizing 81, l9.
The quantity retained Tor seed was
so bushels of barley and 100 bushels of
Wheat. In addition to seeding and har-
vesting he has had so tons of hay put up
and GO acres of land broken. He has
also had erected a building for granary
and stable 29x3O feet with stone foundu.
ton MIR. Wadges part in the work was
simply that of supervising ana keeping
things moving SO that time was not
wasted. He hired just such help as
was needed, no more and no less, and
saw to it that the men did fair days
work for a fair days pay
MIR. Wadge is an old gentleman in his
SEVENTEEN year. The above results
show what can be done in farming and
developing this country with push and
energy coupled with common-sen
management and care Of details, and
there are scores of opportunities like
this for men who are able to encourage
the development of farms in this county
He says if he were younger he knows of
excellent pasture lands near him in
Cavalier county which he would stock
with young cattle which would with
good management net good margin of
profit on the investment Mr. Wadge has
harvested 81 crops in Walsh county and
has always been successful in his farm
ing enterprises"

The. many Langdon friends of N. d.

will regret to learn that he is again the
victim of defective sidewalk, and as a
result of an accident he is laid up for
repairs. On Tuesday at noon wher pass
ing along the street near Knhnert's barn
horse owned by Mr.. Garham, and loose
in the alley, ran over him, knocking him
from the wheel and bruising his knee
and hip quite severely. It is a wonder
that he was not killed. On Wednesday
when riding on the sidewalk on Sixth
avenue north, a loosened brick was the
cause of Mr. Gagnier being thrown vio-
lently to the ground, fracturing two
ribs and spraining his right arm severe
ly. This IS tine second time that Mr.
Gagrier has been laid up on account OF
accidents due to defective walks. Two
years ago loose plank threw him ano
that time be was laid up for six weeks
1t is not unlikely that suit of dam
ages will result from this latest accident
The accident at this time is very unfor
tunate as Mr.. Gagnier had just secured

ing moro than his share of bad fortune

Draws Quite a. Crowd OF Critics to. Exhibits
Givsn Thursday Night.
The Art Exhibit last Thursday evening
was the means Of drawing quite crowd
to the Presbyterian church. Though the
DEMOCRAT was unavoidably detained from
beng there it is evident from the account
given below by Langdon's correspond
ent to the Grand Forks Herald that 1t
was we'll worthy of notice. Here is
what he says:
Last evening the Ladies of the Wom-
ans Club gave an exhibition of
"Works of Art" and of course turned
out with the expectation of viewing the
deep shades of the rocky cliffs, the
crumbling ruins of the temples of ancient
architecture, the crucifxion and the rest
that have been immortalized by the
brush of Angelo Raphael, but glance
along the long row of exhibits was suf-
ticient to convince one that here was a
branch of art that the aforesaid gentle
men never dreamed Of; the first number
consisted of pair of old shoes whose
days of usefulness were when their
propeller gave up the business of count
ing ties and whose soles gave strong
evidence, in their tattered and worn state,
that in this instance they had for once
been steered in the right direction, along
the wall were strewn many things that
were presented by the genial ladies' in
charge to be full Of domestic usefulness
among others were noticed two umbrellas,
the one being of ordinary dimensions and
such as could be used by an amateur for
ordinary purposes; this article was repre-.
sented to be useful to the owner or hold.
er in good faith Immediately before
Lent; the second hung in q very placid
condition and appeared to contain enough
canvas to furnish the Shamrock with an
extra sail; this article was given out as
being in accord with ones sentiments
after the praying season is over; it wasn't
so stated, but it can be vouched for here
that there need be no fear Of the moon
shine striking the north end of the park,
while this would be in use. A very
pleasant musical and literary program
was also rendered by number of the
best local talent and everyone came feel
ing that although they hadn't seen what
they expected, they did have occasion
for good laugh which is worthy thing
after all. The proceeds 60 to worthy
cause and one for which the people can
thank the energetic women, viz: The

New York. Nov. 20.-The stock market
COMPOUNDED all the prophets to-day by
turning reactionary in tone. All the
fraternity of professional Spectators
came down to Wall street this morning
inclined to the bull side. Their opinions,
combined with an outside demand
through commission houses. invited by
last weeks course of events, carried
prices upward for a brief period, but re-
alizing promptly became manifest and
Manhattan developed such conspicuous
weakness as to affect the whole list By
noon the weakness had become marked in
a number of industrial specialtes This
was attributed to the expectation of de-
cision by the United States supreme court
ina case pending on the validity of the
new form of industrial combination which
has been so widely in vogue the last year,
The industrials rallied considerably
when the news came from Washington
mat the decision had not been handed
ooWn to-day. The rally was due to ope-
rattons by room traders, and the explana-
ton or the early weakness came from
the same source and was simply an effort
TO interpret the weakness of stocks,
which was palpable fact The renewed
weakness after the rally showed that
the explanation was rather wide of the
mar. A sufficient explanation Of the down
ward course of prices was that large
holdings Of stocks were thrown over last
week to take advantage of the strong
market caused by the bond redemption
plan of the treasury department. Last
weeks buyers find no widespread de-
mand for the stocks from the public at
large, and the market Is considerably over
weighted with speculative holdings want
Ing to realize. The outlook in the New
York market continued favorable. al
though the offerings of government bonds
for redemption to-day were much smaller
than on previous days.
The easier money rate caused by re-
demption of money already released and
the higher price which government bonds
have attained encouraged owners of
bonds to hold them. To-day's call loan
rate ranged from to 8 per cent. and
the movement of New York exchange at
interior points continued in favor O,
New York, promising relief from the
pressure for funds from that source. The
probable future demands of the sub
treasury are more in doubt. The govern
ment surplus tends to increase again as
the month progresses and the sub-treas-
ury debit balance at the clearing house
to-day was small in spite of the govern
5ments checks for payment Of redeemed
bonds. There was some profit-taking in
speculative bonds, but at other points in
the list some strength was shown. Total
