The opening OF the hunting season this
week in all probability accounts for the
big increase at this time in the canine
population OF Langdon.
Langdon machinery dealers figure the
output OF binders this season at about
100 machines, which is a pretty good
figure, everything considered.
Crop losses by hail are reported to
have occurred during the week in the
vicinity OF Banner and other sections
bordering the Ramsey county line.
A few OF the Hannaites at Hannah
undertook to open up a republican cam
paign club Tuesday night-with what
success the effort was attended has not
been learned.

that few OF the fusion candidates are re-

About 1000 acres OF flax We're sown
in Cavalier county. which owing to the
drought will only yield half a crop, or
about bushels per acre, Last years
flax crop was only 1922 acres and gave
a yield averaging about II bushels per
acre.

80 more. Those boys at the end town
have quite a mouth for chicken and

The city should take the necessary
steps at this time to put a stop to the
nuisance OF having threshing outfits
traverse the main streets of the city. Be-
sides the destruction it always visits on
the street crossings traction engine
under a full head OF steam is a menace
to the regular traffic OF any thorough
fare.
The state equalization board raised
the value OF Cavalier county farm lands
at their meeting OF last week 80 per cent
over the valuation as returned by our
county board. This makes the assessed
valuation per acre $3.50 instead OF
$2.57. The people vote to put down
the taxes, but that does not seem to
hinder the republican state administra-
ton in making them higher year after
year.

This Chautauqua Is n boon 10 mum.
berless families and hundreds of per.
sons who need n change OF climate and
occupation. The atmosphere OF the
mountains Is wonderfully exhilarating.
1t is tonic and source OF health and
happiness to many who seek its innu-
ence. Boulder Is one OF the most at
tractive resorts In the mountains. The
little city OF 5000 lies at the mouths
Of half dozen canons which lead to
the center OF the range. Camping and
fishing parties are organized daily and
the appetite which one soon acquires Is
amazing.
If you come to Boulder once, you
Will want to come again. This Is what
one writer says of Boulder:
"There Is no place In Colorado which
offers more variety OF scenery than the
region OF Boulder From the Chau-
tauqua grounds the view is magnifi-
cent. but not until the visitor climbs
the hills. penctrntes the numerous can
ons in the neighborhood or traverses
the valley, does he begin TO realize the
magnitude OF the undertaking. Every
day may be spent In sightseeing, and
each day new discoveries will be made.
and the beauty and variety Of the seen
cry will grow upon one as the season
advances"
A stranger. who for the first time
looks upon the mountains. is generally
disappointed. The range does not mp
pear to tower to the sky and the lofty
clouds may not be toying with the sum
mits. The patches OF snow appear
smnll-about the size OF the hand-and
on the whole, the mountains are not
so grand as imagined.
