Grafton Record: The Moor
head jag wagons are becom-
ing obnoxious to the Fargo public
and that city's papers are after
them. The wagons went SO far
as to solicit patronage at the very
doors of the Agricultural college
while the farmers from the various
sections of the state were there.
The oldsettlers Of ottineau county
held a picnic last week and every
body had a good time. Hon. v.
b. Noble delivered the Grafton. A
number of French Canadians fur
nished a good deal of amusement
by boat songs, anecdotes, ETC., and
the whole history of the county
was reviewed.
Burke Corbet, of Grand Forks,
one of the most distinguished and
successful lawyers in the state,
leaves soon for California, where
he will locate. He was given a
grand banquet and farewell receipt
ion by the law association of
Grand Forks. Mr.. Corbett was
one of the compilers of the Code
of 1895 and has a record as a prac-
ticioner that any lawyer can feel
proud Of. His departure from the
state is regretted by all who knew
him EEaa
Whapeton Globe: It is given
out that the disbarment proceed
ings against L.. A. Simpson, the
Dickinson attorney and politician,
are likely to result in his discom-
future. This will be a serious blow
to Mr.. Simpson. His many
friends had hoped that the sup
rene court would, not take al x
IRENE view of the case. MI. Simp-
son is a very bright man, has a
successful record at the bar, was a
faithful soldier during the Spanish
war, and stands high in social and
political circles at his home. Mr..
Simpson is the republican nominee
for state senator in the Both dis
Z trict, and will undoubtedly be
elected.
A. Stienbach, a former resident
Of jamestown. who recently moved
to the state Of Washington in
search of health, writes for the
Alert a good description Of the
! country. He advices North Da-
kotans to stay where they r in
preference to Washington. Most
Of the country, except the hill-tops,
is alkali, wells are costly, irrigation
hard to secure and land high.
: In addition, he says: I should
advise anybody who has a good
place in North Dakota to stay
there. I would also advise anyone
who is without money not to come
west except for health as in my
case. Laboring men are plentiful.
Two dollars per day is paid during
harvest. Creation seems to have
upset everything here.
Sheldon Progress: The Pro
gress has a few words of free adj
vice to aspiring politicians: At.
tend all the social gatherings Of
!, newspaper men within reach.
' You meet the boys at conventions,
but get out among them when you
and they are not distracted by
politics. At the Devils Lake
Chautauqua, besides making 9
J splendid speech to vast audience
representing the most intelligent
of North Dakota's people, Con.
gresham Dolliver met a large
number of the country publishers
of the state and, if he believes hall
/ of what he told them about Their
influence, the congressman shoulc
be pleased at the excellent impress
sion he made as a good fellow al
we'll as a statesman. As q. genera
ruletit is safe to say that anyone
appreciation of a public man is in
creased by personal acquaintance
