Mayor J. A. johnson, Of Fargo,
arrived in the city today to spend
a few days at Ohautauqua. The
mayor has the reputation Of being
one Of the best h~ustlersl in the
state and will always be welcome.
This morning the steps leading
up to the land Office were packed.
with q long line Of men waiting
their turn to file on the newly
opened Turtle Mountain reserve.
About 100 sturdy farmers, from
east and west, arrived in the city
yesterday and this morning. A
much larger number would have
fled if crops had been better this
year. The men who came to file
on this land to-day are all intelli-
gent looking, energetic men, and
will make most desirable settlers
for that newly settled country. It.
is to be hoped that there will be
enough to go around and none
will need to be turned away.

Bottineau Courant: An effort
was made this week to get a spe.
cial train to run from this point. to
Devils Lake on July 4, picking up
the people from Omemee, Willow
City and Rugby on the way down.
The railroad company wanted q
very stiff guarantee, which the
citizens of Bottineau and. Willow
City started in to raise, when in.
formation was received from the
General Passenger Agent to the
EFFECT that the Great Northern
could not furnish a special train
not having q train at liberty tc
make the trip. This was bad news
for the large number who hac
planned on going, as it would b
an ideal trip and there is little
doubt but that all the towns OF
this line would have been heavily
represented. It seems to us tina
the Great Northern has made ,
serious mistake in not furnishing
this train even if a little extr,
trouble would have been involved
There will be. no celebration on
large scale anywhere in the vici
nifty of the Bottineau count,
towns, and for that reason a yer,
large crowd would take advantage
of the excursion mentioned. Bot
tineau and Omemee would go be
cause there is no where else to e
and Willow City could be de
pended upon to turn out enmass'
because the. ball team from tina
town will play at Devils Lake OF
the 4th and 9Th. Too bad!
From Thursdays daily.
