PREPARE FOR A LANG WINTER.
Seattle. Dec. Nome was shut Off

steamers Portland, Santa Ana and
Sadie steamed out OF the harbor. wend-
ing their way to the open sea through
fields of open ice. The metropolis OF
the Boring sea gold fields is now iso-
lated behind IN impenctrable barrier
of ice. For seven long months and
more, perhaps, no vessel will be able
to enter the harbor. The news of the

They report that the Centennial. Port

hours. When the Centennial put to
sea the only vessel to be seer in the

shore ice extended out from the beach
from 100 to POO feet in places, and
several times during the three or four
days prior to the Centennial's sailing
lighters were frozen in so that they
had to be cut out each morning. The
inhabitants of the city and surrounding
districts have settled down for a long
winter. Mining had entirely ceased
before November 1.

rived at Washington for the winter.
The major tells the press c%orrespon-
dents about the thorough republican
organization in the state and the
rousing majority given for the ticket.
Editor Jewell is at the national cap
ital and looking after the opening
events Of the session.
Senator McCumber is to introduce
q bill repeating the bankruptcy law,
but does not expect it to pass. Hc
says there lis considerable complaint
that unfair advantage is being taken
of the law in some places.
An estimate has been made by the
treasury department for a $500 O0
building for Grand Forks, for which
the representatives of the state will
unite their efforts.
Journal: There was a gathering
in the supreme court today of persons
interested in some mining claims to
hear the arguments In the case OF
Chips and Alexander Mckenzie VS..
Lindberg, Lindblom and Brynteson.
The case is the one on which. Mckenzie
was held in contempt of court by the
circuit court of appeals for the ninth
circuit Of San Francisco in not relin-
gushing the receivership of certain
claims at Nome, Alaska, placed in his
charge by District Judge Noyes. The
court allowed one hour for each side.
The decision will probably be made
before the holidays.
Representative Spalding called al
the postoffice department today to sec
about establishing additional rural
free delivery routes in North Dakota
1t is probable that some additional
routes will be started in the more
thickly populated places. The diff
Guilty encountered in extending this
, service in North Dakota is the vast
extent of the farms, which prevents
service to more than two or three
families on a route which can be GOV.
cred by one carrier in a day. Mr.
Spalding was assured that the service
will be put in operation wherever pos.
sible.

WIL1ON'S BOOM.
News Predicts a Population of Severa
Thousand Inside of Five
Years.
What the Development of the Coal
Fields Means to the Missouri
Slope Country.

Wilton News: While a great deal
is being said from time to time by the
press of this state, as we'll as by the
twin city dailies, concerning the pro-
press OF the development of the lig-
mite fields along the Bismarck, Wash
burn & Great Falls railway in Mclean
and Burleigh counties, few fully real
ize the magnitude of the undertaking.
1t requires a great deal Of energy.
supported by a keen intellect, to fully
penetrate into the varied and vast re-
sources Of a comparatively new and
unsettled country. The steps which
have been taken and the results that
will accrue from the persistent efforts
put forth by the 'Washburn Co. will
ultimately prove a great blessing to
all the people in the west, and the
revolution in of heating and
steammaking as we'll as the definite
solution of the fuel problem, will as
tOnish the world.
The vast natural resources of this
country are-in the minds of many
but a matter of conjecture, and will
so remain while others are busily en-
gagged in solving difficult problems and
creating systems which will entirely
revolutionize our present manner of
living.
We are living in a rapid age: devel-
opment strides forward unimpeded,
and the masses must of necessity fol-
low in its train. The timid must re-
concile themselves to the new order
Of things or must give way to a more
energetic and sturdy class.
A year ago there was comparatively
nothing but an elevator. Now, a
hourishing little town with good
streets, substantial buildings, elegant
depot and hotel is convincing proof of
enterprise, and the work is but begun.
We venture the assertion that in five
years Wilton will have a population
Of at least 5000 people. These figures
are based upon sound reasoning,

SCARCITY OF DOES.

jamestown Alert: Clark and l..
Titman brought in six deer from their
western trip w. P. Sheppard got
four in his trip to the Hensler bot
toms, near Washburn. The latter got
two big bucks, a doe and fawn in three
days, also II cotton tail rabbits killed
in one patch of brush. Parties who
had been hunting in the locality with
dogs for two or three weeks killed 35
bucks and only two does. The reason
for scarcity of does is not known. On
the trip a hunter named Greenshields
found two big bucks horns locked to-
gether as they were in their last fight.
The horns were so firmly fastened to-
gether that it was impossible for one
man to pull them apart. Shepp says
If the water doesn't drown out the
rabbits next spring, there will be
thousands of them next year. Two
years ago most Of them were drowned.
Landseekers are still moving on the
unsettled lands near Wilton

ACQUITTED.

After being out five hours, the jury
rendered a verdi. c. re. guilty in the
trial OF Pat Callahan for the murder
of Ed O'Callaghan at Lisbon. The
trial has created unusual interest. The
men q cousins and Callahan shot
OCallaghan because of the latter's al
legged intimacy with Mrs. Callahan.
All the parties We're from Enderlin
where the Galatians conducted a hotel
Bill Erwin OF st. Paul appeared for
the defense and won out on the plea
that Callahan had been mentally weak
since an attack of fever and after he
received a blow on the head. Public
sympathy was with Callahan.

Is this. No wretch in squalor lies
But yet may triumph if he tries.
Nor tell me Fate. by set DEGREES

There is nc Fate OF lot or goal
But stubborn Doing may control.
No stress of grief or bitterness
Assails thee that is pu%rposeless,
Misfortune but a hand 10 lead
Thy steps Alright if thou wilt heed.
No foul dishonor clingS to him
Who stumbles in the battle grim,
But all dishonored, they who yield
And lie, as towards, on the field.
The soul that fathers in the fight
Ere it shall scale its utmost height,
What be it's measure of success
Is yet a failure. not the less.

RELIC OF r DAYS.
LONE BUFFALO APPEARS AMONG
CATTLE AT STANDING ROCK

LONE BUFFALO APPEARS AMONG
CATTLE AT STANDING ROCK
AND RECALLS EARLY DAYS.
Chicago Record special: An i'm
mense buffalo bull has put in an ap-
pearance among the cattle owned by
tie Sioux Indians and ranged near
the Standing Rock reservation, sixty
miles south of this city. The animal
came unheralded, whence nobody
knows. For years it has been sup
posed that every bison was extinct in
this state, and the last time that II
were seen in the state was back in
the middle 'SOs, when Governor Roose-
welt, hunting along the Little Mis-
souri, river, killed one at a crossing
Of the river. The animal that has
made its appearance near Standing
Rock is unusually wild and fierce and
disposed to attack herdsmen who at
tempt to get lea it. Strict orders
have been issue. by the agent against
killing the animal, in the hope that
1T will remain and that others may be
discovered.
4. The presence of this lone monarch
of the p~rairies recalls the time when
the bison ranged the vast prairies in
the western part of the state by thous-
ands, if not millions, when every
waiter hole was a gathering place for
them and the hills and valleys were
worn deep trails along which the an
imals went from feeding ground to
watering places. Even yet all through
the western part of the state there
are deep trails that were made by the
bison and that have not been wiped
out in half a century. The sudden
ness of the extinction of the bison is
among the most remarkable features
OF the development of the west. From
thousands and hundreds of thousands
they dwindled away almost at once.

On n occasion a boat plying up the

into the stream, swan through its
muddy waters and emerged on the
other side. The water was churned
to foam and the river literally black
with the animals. They made per-
iodical trips of this kind from one
side of the Missouri to the other, al
\ ways moving in immense bodies. A
buffalo stampede was not uncommon,
and woe to the unfortunates who
night be caught in the path.
Then came the buffalo-hunters. In
