Buffalo, N. Y, July 1.-(Special.)-
A pleasant caller at the state booth
the other day was Geo. P. Macarthur,
who 81 years ago was hustling at Bis
marck. He recalled. many memories
of the good old times and has a han
kering for the old burg still. He was
loath to believe that it was possible,
for the old timers like Hannifin, Deit-
rich, John Dunn, Alex Mckenzie,
Little and the other bright lights to
settle down into staid citizens and the
idea of gambling and clearinghouse
being wiped out filed him with
amaze. He sends regards to all whose
memory trails back to these halcyon
days. I ~%%Ss l. #s, .,~
Another visitor was Andrew J.Sey-
mour, who was a partner Of Wilbur F.
Steele when that genius was making a
stir in those parts. He says he thinks
he made a mistake by not staying by
the country as, though he. has not
done badly since leaving. he has all
ways. felt that North Dakota has a
bright future and that those who stay
will come out on the top of the heap
at the round up. .a5 Ss

a fellow who wore a band uniform and
looked as though he had been pulled
through a knotho1e. He took the
trouble toSsscome in and backcap the
country in ~goodshape, and it finally
t%ranspired that he had gone out to
Dickey county about the beginning of
the cactus trouble and took a claim.
He said he had always worked in a.
store previous to going west, which
may have some bearing on his failure
as a bonanza farmer, but he would
not allow that the country was worth
a yard of calico, all this in spite Of the
fact that showed him the account in
the Forum of the big wool shipment
from that section to the Grand Forks
woolen mills, and cited from the re-
port OF the commissioner Of agricul-
ture the good showing made by the
farmers OF that section after they had
begun to diversity. But he would not
be made happy SO we passed him UP
as a man who would rather stay; with
his wife's folks and play in a jim
crow country band than be a king in
his own right, in the chosen land.

man, and his wife + due here this
week and we will have to see that he
touches a few of, the high places dur
ing his stay. He will tarry with Mr..
Beveridge. a relative of Carruth's, who
has a charming home on Auburn ave-

grounds, and where North Dakotans
