ject to Editor Small's way Of ad-
vertising VIM. H. Brown & Co.,

square dealing land firm, and de-
serving of all praise given them by
Editor Small in the Inter Ocean.

G. B. Kendall, of Grand Harbor,
returned last week from a bust
ness trip to the Hawaiian Islands.
He visited our new possessions
with a view to investing capital in
lands, but did not find the outlook
sufficiently encouraging, and re-
turned to his first love with a
largely increased respect for North
Dakota soil. He is firmly con-
WINGED that there is no farming
country on earth like Ramsey
county.
At the recent session of the
Methodist conference at Bismarck
Rev. John G. Dingle was trans
ferred from Devils Lake to
Pembina-leaving the charge in
this city unsupplied. All good
citizens will regret the departure
of MI. Dingle' and his estimable
family from Devils Lake, but are
glad to know that they go to such
an important and pleasant city as
Pembina. Rev. Dingle is an able
minister, a conscientious and ener-
getic Christian worker, and his
great influence for good will be
sadly missed in this community.
Bishop Edsall preached to his
former congregation in Chicago
q few Sundays ago, and in refer
ring to his new field of labor said:
"In North Dakota, there are two
classes for religious teaching-the
Indians and the whites. The
former are more numerous than
might be supposed. There are
three Indian sections-Fort Tot
ten near Devils Lake; Cannon Ball
Mission, at the Standing Rock
Agency; and Turtle Mountain,
near the Manitoba line. The
bishop of South Dakota has a
fund of $4,000 to $4,000 annually
at his disposal, while for North
Dakota there is only about $1,10O,
and a tremendous field to cover.
Among the white residents I find
plenty to do in this pioneer work.
In many places where there are no
