the local land Office officials, will
be very busy people around July

Turtle Mountain forest reserve.
will be thrown open to settlement.
There are eight townships of fine
land, mostly timbered, in this re-

Office on the 3rd, 5th and 9Th will
be unprecedented. Several hun
bred land seekers will necessarily

again crossed bats Decoration Day,
this time on the city ball grounds.
The Crazy team was after blood
and got it, the score resulting 81

was especially hot in the roofing

made by both sides were awful,
and if it had not been for the en-
thusiasm displayed by the support.
ers of both sides, it would have
been decidedly fiat. A large crowd
witnessed the defeato of the Juniors
who evidently we're not helped out
by the efforts put forth by theil
rooters. The ire of the rooters
from Crazy was up, and the wind
they spouted gave a new incentive
to their team.
