From those who trade of their own

Feeding Our Range Cattle.

The Massacre & Simpson cattle fed
by VIM. Wilson on his farm at Charter
Oak, Iowa, were placed on the Chicago
market on the nth of April. They av-
eraged in weight 1908 pounds. A part
of the cattle sold by Paris & Co. at $50
per cwt. and the balance were sold by
another firm at s5.o5. If the cattle had
been fed longer they would have sold at
a higher figure. AS the market proved,
the feeding of these range steers did not
turn ont to be a profitable venture. In
speaking Of this business transaction
Mr.. Wilson says: 81 have found Mas
suers & Simpson the most pleasant peo-
pie to deal with l ever met, and l COM
mend them to North Dakota people as
men of their word, who carry out their
contracts, whether verbal or written, to

"No, SIR" she replied with equal
promptness, and with q touch Of hui

Odd Albanian Customs.

An Albanian woman expects to be

the prerogative Of an Albanian hus-
band. He must be careful, however,
not to draw blood during the castiga.
ton, or the wife can complain to the
authorities, who will fine the husband
and give his property to his wife.
When an Albanian marries, he Is
bound to provide his wife with food,
clothes and a home in keeping with his
station and mean and cannot require
her to earn money for herself or hin,
by her labor.
Divorce is quite common. Excessive
%corpulence on the part of the husband
is considered quite sufficient excuse for
the wife to divorce him.

Good Fire Protection.

The new steam fire engine and hook
and ladder truck with chemical attach.
ment arrived last Saturday and was I'M
loaded during the day by the Dickinson
Hose Co. e The engine was made
by the Waterous Engine Works of St.
Paul and VIM. Gibson, the company's
agent, came out the first of the week to
make a public test Of the steamer
In making the first test, the steamer
was placed by the side of one of the big
Northern Pacific wells on the north side
of the railroad shops. 1t required 7 min
utes in which to get up steam from cold
water. Foreman Osborn had 1900 feet
Of hose strung out and at the end of this
hose the fire boys were getting an inch
stream of water and with sufficient force
to cover the highest point of the Lyon
grain. elevator. The second test was
made in the evening. This time the
steamer was placed on front street where
everybody could get a good view of it
while in operation and at the same time
get a clear view of the streams of water
that we're being thrown.
Foreman D. S. Littlehales of the rail-
road shops here acted as engineer. He
put cold water into the boiler, kindled
his fire and in 7 minutes time sounded
the whistle which ment that the engine
was ready for action. Thetes was made
first on throwing an inch stream through
900 feet of hose. The stream was thrown
into the air fully $50 feet. Throwing two
streams the engine was able to throw the
water I25 feet, and when the third Sec
ton Of the hose was attached, three
streame were playing into the air which
averaged 100 feet in height, 1t made a
pretty sight.
The village authorities and all who
witnessed the test were highly pleased.
Even those who had seemed a little
skeptical before the apparatus arrived.
were seemingly ready to admit that the
trustees had made a wise move in the
purchase of the engine and equipment.
Ill kLS oi1Oll lllAlC y NLSAAV was SO1-
nected with the big railroad well in the
morning, $4,000 gallons Of water were
lifted and forced through the hose onto
the streets of Dickinson. So it seems to
be merely a question of water supply
now. A big we'll is being sunk on the
village lots and arrangements will be
made for water in other places. The N.
P. has quite a supply of available water
and as soon as the new hydrants are
placed, it will be very easy to get water
for use on Willard street.

At last accounts the Dickinson man
who obtained s275 of c. F. Bowlby of St.
Paul on a worthless draft was still in Jail
in the sanity city. The draft was drawn
on the First National Bank of Mandan
where the arrested party has never had
an account or any reason to believe that
a draft for SO large an amount, or any
amount for that matter, would be honor
ed. During his absence from home, in
the last month Or two, he has drawn a
number Of drafts and checks on a home
bank, pavement in every instance being
refused; and yet this party tells a Twin
City reporter that his arrest was all a
mistake. His bail was ixed>t a very
small sum, $500, but this even he has
been unable to secure in two weeks.
