NEW POTATOES.

This announcement may appear
strange to many people in the east, and
perhaps the Graphic will be slated a.
mong the "great liars" Of the state, when
we announce the fact that on Tuesday
noon we had the unusual satisfaction of
eating new potatoes for our dinner. But
however unreasonable it may seem, 1t is
fact nevertheless. The potatoes were
raised in Otto Dahl's garden, in the
Stony Creek district, and averaged as
large as lemons and some were larger in
size. These are the first new potatoes
we have heard OF in this section of the
country, or in the state for that matter.
and therefore we shall Law claim to being
the banner county Of North Dakota.
Mr.. Dahl's family have been enjoying
the luxury of new potatoes aud green
peas for over a week now, and in few
days more new potatoes will be plentiful
on the market.

striking his head in such manner as to
break his neck. 1t was pitiable sight
indeed to see the noble beast give up it's
life so suddenly. The horse was consi-
dered by many to be one Of the best in
the country, and the friends ofits owners

WILLIAMS COUNTY.
A Brief Description of Its Great
Inducements to Settlers.

WILLIAMS COUNTY is the ex-
treme Northwest county OF th. State
of North Dakota, with the Missouri
River forming it's southern boundary,
and it has river frontage of about
250 miles. The County covers an
area of nearly $500 square miles,
and embraces about 5000, 900 acres
of excellent farming and grazing
lands About one half Of the County
is underlaid with a superior quality of
Lignite Coal, which is found in stra-
tas varying from three feet to twenty
feet in thickness. The soil is rich
and durable, and by reason of the
peculiar formation Of the surface of
the country, irrigation is rendered
both practicable and cheap. Cereals
of all kinds and vegetables flourish
here in abundance, and always pay
the producer handsome margin for
his labor.
As q stock-raising country Viii
liams County is equal to any other
region in the western states. Hay
and shelter are found in abundance
along the Missouri river and the
small streams running through the
| interior of the county.
Williams County offers the most
advantageous inducements to settlers
by its famous stock-raising ranges,
and its own cheap fuel in wood and
| coal. The winters are mild, and all
classes of stock Craze out on the ranges
nearly the entire season through, re-
quiring but very little extra feeding.
All kinds Of building material and
excellent clay for brickmaking aar. be &.
found in many localities throughout
the county.
WILLIsTON, the County Seat of
Williams County, is beautifully To-
Gated on the Great Northern Railroad,
with the Missouri River washing its
southern limits, and situated only
twenty-five miles from the Montana
line.
Williston has one National Bank.
two hotels, five stores (two of Willis
tons stores are department stores thc
