Feeling lazy, the correspondent regrets
to find there is considerable news in Mos
COW at the present time A wedding in
the southern part OF the township and
and srvtr raj other items were neglected

has been so busy during he nice weather
providing the needful for himself and
the tax collector that he has not been
able to collect full particulars.
The services OF Judge Mathisen We're
again in request OH Monday Ftb'y Goth,
when our popular school clerk, Thomas
Amoth and Miss Uelga Rund took the
VOWS OF matnmony in his presence, The
bride is a daughter OF Lvrentz Rund OF
Fairfax, MINI, q we'll known Iiolinist
i'll that country. The young lady does
not play in public. but can handle The
bow with no small degree OF skill.
Severa! OF our neighboriDg farmers are
making what is called print butter. 1t
is made with u large assortment OF uten-
sis SO that the handling with the bare
hands is reduced to minimum. 1t is
pressed into a mould holding exactly q
pound and printed at the same time.
The print butter is wrapped IN water
tight paper to which the butter does not
stick. 1t is already recognized, both in
Langdon and Dresden as a superior ar
tice and commands a ready sale at 20
cents pound the whole yearround. The
nearness and ever increasing size OF the
metropolis and the several towns along
the line is bound IT, keep the demand in
excess OF the supply for the product OF
this branch OF farming.
Our school clerk is much esteemed as
man OF energy and Integrity. Afreriarm-
ing both in Alberta and Minnesota he
has selected Moscow as Replace to make
his home. His experience in Minnesota,
owing to dry seasons, was not very ell
couraging. 1t was his luck to rent land
just when the dry seasons commenced.
Later acting on the advice OF a friend he
migrated to Alberta in company with
his brother. G. Amoth, but after stay
OF one season in q remote settlement they
decided to look for a location with better
marketing facilities and followed IN the
footsteps OF their brother, Martin, who
had crossed the boundary line and taken
up land in Moscow. Being directed to
steer for the windmill they easily reach
ed Moscow and soon found claims Their
settling here after having seen such a
large tract OF land may be taken as good
evidence that Cavalier county is equal to
any place in the Northwest.
The marriage between Edward Peder-
son and Miss Garry Strom took place ON

numerous and useful. The weather and
all circumstances connected with the

he is an enthusiast in farming and be-
lieves that mixed farming, for which his

sursst means Of success. His experience,
