BOOM.
Shadows of the Impending One on the
Slope are Being Cast Before.

The Fargo Argus says: Mr.. Crowell
left for the east last night. He has or
ganized the National Land company.
This company represents a large amount
of capital and has already bought a
large tract of land in Emmons county,
this state. They are now negotiating
for another large tract north of Bismarck
near Washburn. The Argus has made
some Investigations about the land ex-
element on the Missouri slope and finds
that the prospectsf.or a large immigration
and a big land boom in the spring, both
north and south of Bismarck, are very
fattering. North of Bismarck, in, the
neighborhood of Washburn, for several
years past the settlers have been raising
good crops of wheat, as much as twenty
bushels to the acre. Land has been
cheap and is still cheap there, but the
big immigration in the spring will no
doubt put the price up with a rush.

OUTLET FOR ILLINOIS CENTRAL
Duluth, Glencoe and St. Cloud President
Outlines Probabilities.

Duluth. Glencoe and St. Cloud President
Outlines Probabilities.
ST. PAUL, Feb. 14.-"We will build
the Duluth, Glencoe and Southwestern
from Mankato to St. Cloud this sum.
mer. 1t is more than possible that the
line will become the Illinois Central's
outlet to the lakes when finished. I
have been negotiating with that road,
and while nothing definite has been &C.
complished, this object is more than a
possibility"
This is the answer which President A,
H. Reed Of Glencoe gave to the question
which has puzzled many local railroad
men, why q new line should be built
via St. Cloud to Duluth when the field
Is already covered. The reply of the
president Of the new line throws much
light on the possibilities.
Further than this, President Reed said
that at the annual meeting, held in De.
cember, the directors amended the ar
ticles Of incorporation in such a manner
that the line will be permitted to build
q north and south branch from St. Cloud
through the Red Lake district, to the
boundary, to connect there with the new
Canadian east and west line, or to go
further and connect with the Canadian
Pacific.
IF this line is built" said Mr.. Reed,
''the Rock Island would have q system
stretching from the Gulf.to the norther-
most boundary of the United States,
and in addition, would also have an
open market at Duluth.

jamestown Capital: John Pfietie who
lives in B~loomcnfeldt, cut his crop of flax
FEBRUARY LIST. How is that for N. D.?
He was too busy last fall to cut it and
this month rugged up a board back of
the mower sickle to catch the flax and
harvested his crop. He threshed it with
a fail. This is IA record in farming in
North Dakota hard to beat.
Oil Inspector Wickham is confident
that mixed farming in the western part
of the state will be duplicated this sea-
son again. He says that within the last
six months, the receipts trading ut the
small station of Glen Ullcn, where there
are not over two good stores, will amount
to over 100000. This is chiefly for stock
and wool. He says wool contracts for as
high as 2Oc Il pound are being made there
by eastern parties, and that he would
not take 22c, for his clip.
a Tacoma dispatch says of IA trio of
North Dakotans: w. j. Mooney, owner
of the state bank of Langdon, is visiting
Puget Sound towns with a view of NOV
ing here. He has in contemplation the
purchase of $500 acres of timber lands
in Oregon. Former State Senator Geo.
Clark and r. r. Warren, wheat growers
of Walsh county, have purchased large
stock ranches in Pacific county, near
Ocosta, Mr.. Clark paying about $4,000
for his farm. Both have gone east to
sell their interests there. They will re-
turn in the spring with their families.

KIDDER'S X
Settlement of the Delinquent Taxes
Due from the Northern
Pacific.

States Attorney Stanley has returned
to Steele with the check for the North
ern Pacific taxes due Kidder county.
The tax litigation was settled Saturday
in Milwaukee, by stipulation between
the attorneys for the county-with the
consent of the commissioners and the
attorneys for the company. The settle
ment vas based on prior decisions of the
state supreme court in the Wells county
case, and on the Amidon decision in the
Stutsman county case. The total
amount paid was S45,956.43 and s952.9O
fees of clerk of court. The company had
100000 acres of land involved. No pen
atty or interest was allowed and the set
Element cuts the amount down to little
over half of the original claim for all
years, which was in the ~neighborhood
of $4,000.
1t is understood that Attorney Baker
of Detroit, Mich, gets a reasonable fee al.
lowed by Judge Jenkins, how much is
not stated. The railroad company in
the stipulations agreed not to further OBJ
ject to the attorneys claims, both parties
leaving it to the court. The original
agreement with the Kidder county board
was to allow the attorney Is per cent of
the amount of the Judgment. The
county will have to pay this from the
proceeds of the settlement. About a
year ago the company offered to..settle for
practically the sum received.
