tour of pleasure. The Judge re-
ports an enjoyable time. He was
particularly pleased with the Col
umhia river district and states
that the salmon and strawberries
of that place cannot be equalled.
Both j. R.. Roller and E. M.
Lewis have purchased new tents
for the Chautauqua and will camp
on the lots usually used by 9. W.
Greene, who will also have his tent
at the same place. This will be a
pretty enthusiastic crowd of Chau-
tauquans, but there will bea Mann
on either side of them to prevent
too much disturbance-F. P. on
one side and F. w. on the other.
Parties who wish to have unap-
praised school and institution lands.
placed upon the list for this falls
sale should notify County Auditor
Eich at once, as the board of ap-
praisers are busily engaged in ap-
praising these lands, and the list
will be turned into the land de-
partment the first of July. 1t is
the desire of the board to appraise
every available piece of land that
can be sold under the price fixed
by law.
w. E. Cooke, of Harvey, was in
the city Sunday on business. Mr..
Cooke is a typical North Dakota
hustler. He came to this state a
few years ago comparatively poor,
but today owns lumber yards at
Harvey, Anamoose and Balfour
and is just completing a $4,000
hotel at Harvey. He is a man of
ndomitable pluck and energy and
has been largely instrumental in
building up the towns in which he
is interested along the 500, and in
ducing settlers to locate on the
fertile prairies in that section Of
the state.
It was a jolly party Of Devils
Lake shriners that accompanied
j. R. Roller to Fargo, tolend their
aid, comfort and assistance to
"Jake" who made the trip for the
avowed purpose of becoming one
of this jolly lot. The sturdy fell
lows who supported O. Mr.. Roller
included Ever Wagness, V. B.
Noble, j. E. Watt, Frank Honett,
Peter Haley and Harry Arneson.
Mr.. Roller became a shriner and
his friends say that they had an
immense time and that as a double
header, Jake" has nj equal.
Monday a perfectly responsible
person dropped into a local bank
and asked for a temporary loan Of
$780, ,Ehe banker quickly accom-
modated him but remarked: IF
you had asked for this loan a week
ago we could not have let you had
it. The appearance Of a long con-
tinued drouth at that time caused
us to refuse everybody, no matter
how good the security offered, but
the recent rains have placed an
entirely different aspect on the
future. We are now assured Of a
bounteous crop and there will be
no stringency in the money mar
ket so far as this community is
concerned" This is a good illus
tration of the business feeling
throughout the state since the late
rains.
The enthusiastic gunners Of the
city held a very we'll attended
meeting at the office of P. j. Nc
Glory Saturday evening for the
purpose of organizing a gun club.
After some discussion, the follow
ing officers were elected: Presi-
dent, DR.. w. d. Jones; Treasurer
and Secretary, A. D. Cleveland
Captain, NJ. A. Doheny. It was
decided to at once procure grounds
and proper equipments and it is
expected that by Saturday of this
week, the club will hold it's first
meeting. About 25 persons have
already joined the organization.
Devils Lake always up to date,
was just behind the times in regard
to gun club matters. Now, with
this organization and the efficient
officers the members chose to elect,
there is no reason why, within a
short time, the local nimrods,
should not be able to compete with
the crack marksmen Of Grand
Forks or Winnipeg.
