THIEF LAKE NEWS.

EDITOR SHEAF: .,-s f.
Seeing that we look SO we'll in print
we will write you again and let the
people know that Thief. Lake is on
the map.
The Christmas tree at jim Rein
harris Monday night was well at
tended, and a very interesting pro-
gram was rendered by the young
people, after which a social dance
took place for few hours. All went
home with the assurance of having
had a most enjoyable time.
There was a pleasant party held at
NJ. Polanski's on Tuesday night, and
all report a good time.
There is considerable excitement
here over a petition that II. F. Ber-
linke was flashing a few days ago for
the removal OF Ware postomce to his
place, a distance OF five miles, and
away to one side Of the town besides,
which would make at least ten miles
for some of the patrons to go for
their mail, which seems to be a little
unreasonable, for there are people
living within a mile or so that are
capable Of taking the postoffce if a
change in postmasters is needed.
John Ljdngberg has moved his en-
CINE and saw mill machinery up to
Watertown, and will commence saw
ing as soon as there is snow enough
to haul logs on. -.
Andrew Peterson is erecting large
frame barn on the place he bought
from J. j. Waller, who got sick OF
the country and went back to Chi
cago. Good thingfor land to change
hands sometimes. .s .ss.*"s - .

1900.

This is the first issue of the SHEAF
in 1900. Whether it is in the new
century or not we do not feel compe-
tent to determine. In a matter where
learned men disagree, it is no wonder
if a country editor should be puzzled.
The Emperor of Germany and the
president of Wellesley College say
the new century has already CON-
menced, while the Pope and the Gar
of Russia hold that it will be ushered
in Jan. l, 1901. With such eminent
authority on both sides of the con-
troversy, even Philadelphia lawyer
might tax all his ingenuity and still
b. in doubt. AS compromise, it
might be we'll to consider the present
year as neutral ground the year that
rings out the old and rings in the
new. Let us SO conduct our lives
during this year as if a new and more
glorious century had dawned upon
the world, and also as if it were the
last year of the old century, and the
last year of our lives. Let us en-
deayor to lead better and nobler lives.
Though it may puzzle us to decide
whether we live in the old or the new
century, yet it is plain to everybody
that change has been made from Is
to 10 in the initial figures of the num-
Der that tells the year. We have
written 1899, now we write 1900. The
Is, which has been with us from our
earliest memory, through all changes
in the number indicating the years as
they have rolled by, and which we
had come to regard almost as con-
slant quantity, has been dropped, and
10 substituted in place. Every time
we have written letter we have had
to jot down Is, and the habit will
very likely cling to us for some days
into the new year. Good bye IS.
You have been kind to us and to. hu
manity. While you have been writ
ten, great and stupendous changes
have taken place in the world. Civil.
ization has advanced with giant
strides. No century in the worlds
history has seen greater progress in
mechanics and inventions that con-
tribute to human comfort, convenience
and happiness. Well done, 49,!
Welcome, 80! Who can tell what
progress will be made in the world
while you are written Let us hope
that your record will be even more
grand and glorious.
Welcome, 1900.
May the year 1900 bring health,
wealth and happiness to all readers of
the SHEAF.

The County Board.

TIE County Board met ut the
court house on Tuesday to hold
their annual meeting. The board
was organized by the election of J .
M. Schie, of the Fifth district, as
chairman. His selection for this DO
sition is we'll deserved. Mr.. Schie is
an old member on the board, thor
oughly acquainted with the affairs of
the county, and is, besides, a gentle
man OF character and ability, who
will carefully guard the interests of
the taxpayers.
Many matters require the attention
OF the board at this meeting, and
the session will doubtless continue
all week. The cash aud accounts of
the county treasurer have been ex
amined, and everything found cor
rect, .'-
The salary of the county supelin.
tendent has been fixed at y 1900 for
this year-a raise Of s 100 from last
year.
John Anderson was appointed Jan
itOr at the new court house this al
ternoon at a salary Of $35 per
month.
The full proceedings will be pub
lished in the SHEAF in due time.

A. A. Anderson, guest OF K. Cedar

Frank Strong, foreman and gem
eral manager OF the Culbertson farm,
town OF Augsburg, with load OF
''his fellows,' ate dinner at Halls
place Friday; they were enroute to
Pelan and the Roseau country.
Silver Creek mill, which has been
shut down during the holidays, will
be running full blast directly upon
the return OF Manager Cedarholm.
Bring your axes and your butcher
knives, scissors, coal chisels and
razors, the grindstones will likewise
be running.
Happy to announce that Mr..
Aanon Anderson, who has been criti-
cally i'll, is improving under the
efficient care of DR.. r. F. MILESTONE,
and hope to see him out enjoying
this beautiful weather.
Miss Sadie Anderson, who was
called home from Grand Forks, N. d.,
on account OF the illness OF her father,
will return to that city in few days.
"A basket party in the school house
at Fir Wednesday was a success.
The baskets were sold to the highest
bidders. Although not informed of
the exact amount realized. a sum
sufficient to put the people in good
spirits. After closing the exercises at
the house OF learning, they imme-
diately repaired to the new black
smith shop across the street, and
tripped the light fantastic until-the
writer has been unable to learn the
hour the performance losed-but am
positive it was an enjoyable affair.
The proceeds OF the sale OF said
baskets, disposed OF the earlier part
OF the meeting, go to the fund being
acquired for the purpose OF building
a church, which they anticipate erect
ing in the near future. Not before
spring, however.
Since Nels Cedarholm has joined
the Woodmen he concluded to
shoulder his axe and get his wife a
little stove wood. Good act, Nels.
Other Woodmen do ye likewise.
Our merchants are doing an i'm
mense business, and both are enlarg-
ing their places OF trade. The former
located at Englund, the west, and
the latter at Fir, the east, both on
the line OF the stage route between
Stephen and Roseau, must necessar-
lily have great advantage in trading

At Manzanola the beets are doing

Of the beets are 81. inches in diameter
which is a remarkably large beet for this
stage OF the season. We suspect that the
crop now growing will give the Arkansas

best beet growing region known.

Keep the surface soil fine and do it by

In cultivating the beet the work should
be done thorough aud in panstakinl
manner. The beet gets its sugar from
the sunshine, but you can cultivate til,
crop so that the best results will be ut

increase of one per cent. in the sugai

The Denver Republican in reviewing
Senator Wolcott's splendid speech as
temporary chairman of the Republican
National convention says: The
record of the last three years
stands unapproached in American his
tory in achievements designed to benefit
all classes of our citizens. Instead of
panic and depression we have had the
best times ever known in this country, in
spite of the fact that we have carried on
two extensive and expensive wars in that
period. Our money supply has increased
at an amazing rate, and the spirit of
enterprise has found fruitful and profit
able fields of endeavor in all our great
industries. Credit, both public and pri-
vate, stands higher now than ever before,
and the outlook for the future, provided
existing conditions continue, MS they
seem likely to do, promises the best re-
suits to all the people OF the United
States. The great questions, military
and civil arising ont of our war with
Spain and its consequences were met in
a spirit OF intelligent patriotism by the
party in power, and it is only reasonable
to expect that the policy pursued regard
