our new TOWNS.
JESSIE.

The Courier scribe took an in
itialtripupthe extension lastweek
and was greatly surprised at the
wonderful development of the
past few months. Our first stop
was at Jessie, where we first
met the genial Bert Phipps, who
is buying wheat for the
Monarch elevator company and
seems to be doing well for his
employers. The next man we
ran across was w. J. Hummer
and everybody speaks will of
him-who is slated for post
master at Jessie. Mr. Hum
mer is also station agent aud q
very accommodating gentleman.
Mr.. Laffan, who is opening
up general store. was busy get
ting his temporary building
ready and in the spring will build
a large store building. Other
parties are putting in a store
and a bank, hardware store and
other lines of trade are going to
be represented at this point.
The town has three elevators
and the Gull River Lumber Co.,
has a fine yard at that place, in
charge of Mr.. Fl. G. Ditwiller, a
gentleman who has the conf
dence of a large circle of friends
as we'll as his employers. Jessie
has alarge country tributary to
it, settled by a thrifty and pros
porous class of farmers. It is
destined to become very i'm
portant trading point and will
undoubtedly have a solid and
substantial growth. There is
some talk of Incorporating
and electing the genial Frank
Pfeifer, on whose farm the town
is plated, its first mayor.

BINFORD.

After a ride of about five miles.
through all kinds Of railroad cuts
which brought to mind the fact
that if a heavy snow storm visit
ed that section it would take all
winter for the railroad to open
up the road again-we passed
over Blooming Prairie and glid-
ed into the bustling little city of
Binford. This new town, only a
few months old. is q wonder for
its age. We found M. M. Lie,
who has a lumber yard and good
office and has also built himself
a nice, large house, up to his neck
in work and more coming
At present in addition to
selling lumber he is building N.
A. Ness big hotel. Binford &
Greenbaum have a large store
building and seem to be humping
themselves to please the people.
Mr.. Greenbaum has recently
been appointed postmaster and
Binford will have a stamp store
of it's own. The Gull River Com
pany has one of the finest yards
in the state at this point, the
buildings and general equipment
being arranged for convenience
as well as good service. Mr.. b.
NJ. jackson is in charge of the
yard and seems to be q popular
and efficient manager. There are
two elevators besides a private
elevator run by Burgess & Dill
lenbeck, II. J. Maurer has a
restaurant, Oscar r-Greenland &
Co: have q large hardware store
and under Mr.. Oscar Greenland s
management a good business is
being built up There are two
blacksmith shops and one or two
other store buildings that we did
not get around to visit, in ad-
dition to houses and other build
ings. Binford is surrounded by
a fair farming country and ought
to draw trade for miles around.
It hasedone remarkably well and
gives promises of becoming a
busy, trading town. The great
kick the people have coming is

TELEPHONE EXTENSION.
North Dakota Will Get the Larp.
est Share of Improvements
Next Year.

During 1899 there were about 500
miles Of wire strung in North Dakota
and Minnesota hy the Northwestern
Telephone; exchange. A line was
extended from Winnipeg Junction to
Crookston, and from the latter place
three extensions were made Ito Thief
River Falls, Red Lake Falls and
Fosston. In North Dakota the new
extensions are from Casselton to
Hunter, from Gsandin TO Pembina,
from Grafton to northwestern point,
and from Park River to Langdon.
The exchange will probably do
more extension work in North Da-
kota than in Minnesota next year.
1t is expected that branch lines
will go out to jamestown, one to La.
Moure and Oakes, the other to Car
rington. A new line will go from
Valley City to Cooperstown, and
Oakes will be connected with Lisbon.
Although the figures are not obtain
able as yet it is estimated that 5000,
ooc was expended in the improve
ment Of the northwestern system this
year.-Argus.

McHENRY.


Another ride of between eleven
and twelve miles brings us toI
this place which is at present
and probably will be for many
years the terminus of the branch.
The first thing that attracted our
attention on alighting from the
train was the pretty two story
depot erected by the company
and which will be occupied by
Agent Kelly and family. Wei
next saw the familiar figure Of
Maynard Crane jumping around
like a bear on hot bricks trying
to wait on a dozen customers at
one and the same time. Crane
4 johnson have q fine lumber
yard at this point with substanti-
al buildings and we are told they
are selling lots of building
material. G. S. Smith, of Monte
vedio. Mimi, also has a. yard at
this point. There are three large
elevators at this point and seeing
that this is new country none
of the three will get rich this
year buying wheat. H. H. Bate
man. & Co., of Cooperstown are
putting up a substantial drug
store and will equip it with a.
druggist of many years expert
ence in addition to a complete
and up to date stock of drugs
and notions. We understand
that DR.. Carpenter, of Tower
City, will locate at McHenry. A
neat bank building has been
erected by Darlington parties,
and we found Joe McCulloch and
his crew busy building H. S.
Halvorson & Co.. large hard
ware store. We dropped into a
general store and diving down
into u barrel was just pulling out
a a<quarter worth of nice Green
Mgs when we were told to '.drop
that oyster" by the genial Dick
Howden, who is doing good work
for G. r. Whidden. Mr.. W. is in
a temporary building at present
but has let the contract for a
large and substantial store build
ing. There are other stores,
restaurants, livery barns, etc.
and we notice that cur townsman
Adolph Nordhougen has put up q
blacksmith shop. McHenry has
grown wonderfully and new lines
of business are being opened up
every day. There is not much
settlement around the country
yet, but we are told that the town
will have a large territory to
draw trade from. Editor Will
liams was out goose hunting so
we did not pay our respects to
the Tribune. He is getting out
good paper for the town and
seems to be appreciated. We
believe McHenry and the other
towns on the extension will de-
velop into good business points.
and it is marvel 10 see the i'm
provements of u few months.
The railroad company has a
thoroughly equipped: road and
the pushing through Of this
branch, while taking trade away
from Cooperstown. will greatly
develop the northwest part of
our county by bringing in new
settlers.

Brigham IL. Roberts,, OF
Utah, who has been elected
to congress. has three wives.
He puts up the following defense
for a seat in congress:
When sectarian ministers and
disappointed would-be political
bosses in Utah, who began this
agitation, says that the Mormon
church or it's members violate
the compact between Utah and
the United States, because a few
men in the state feel morally
bound to fulfil their obligations
to women they married under
sanctions of the Mormon church,
previous to the issuance Of the
church manifesto of 1890, dis
continuing polygamous mar
riages, they say that which they
know to be untrue. Disrupting
and discontinuing these relations
was no part Of that compact. It
was not demanded by the enabl-
ing act..''
After all, there is. a moral
question, as well as an economic
question involved in this affair.
Roberts has three wives, by
whom he has children. In
speaking of them, he expresses
affection for his families, and he
pertinently asks the question,
which the Argus would like to
have some moralist answer:
is it right for the United
States to demand that /, and a
few other men in Utah, who
under sanction of the Mormon
church, previous to the passage
of the enabling act. took unto
i
ourselves polygamous relation
ships, disrupt our families thus
established, and throw OUR wives
and offsprings out on the world?"
If he is to conform to the law
and cling to one wife, alone,
which of the three shall it be?
Which brood of children shall he
legitimate? But then, anybody
can ask hard questions.
His argument does not hold
water at all. If he had not been
somewhat of a hog one wife
would have satisfied him and he
would only had one brood of
children. He should not. be al
lowed a seat in congress.
