The base ball enthusiasm in Langdon
has reached the stage where the umpire
is accused Of nearsightedness, etc., when;
the game went the other way. Maybe he
did, maybe he didn't but never lot on;
buy the nextfellow yourself and "do 'em.'

Andrew Nellem, as to his mental con-
dition. DR.. Moore went there at the
request of the Cavalier county authorities.
DR.. Moore presented himself ct the Jail,
but Barry positively refused to see him,

be made.-Jamestown Alert.

The manager Of the Milton ball team
seems to fancy himself q Broadway
policeman, with the great responsibility
Of keeping large crowd in motion. He
seemed to think that visitors to the game
in that game IN that city Friday had no
rights on the ground. He issued more
orders and made more noise than cor.
poral in charge of squad-which of
course greatly annoyed the visitors. He
should take few lessons in etiquette.
When the Milton people come here they
will receive courteous and proper treat

All this week the railroad contractors
have been hauling their machinery out
from Lakota. They have established a
camp about two miles southeast of
town and have verything in shape to
start work at once. A spur was built
at Lakota the first of the week for the
use OF the railroaders and crew started
to work on the grade at the other end
OF the line on Tuesday. We are inform
ed by one of the railroad men that they
expect to start the work at this end OF
the line tomorrow. There now seems
to be no obstacle in the way that would
cause delay and from now on the work
will be pushed with all possible speed
until the road is completed. = Lunde

Levi Rushford is interested with L. D
Sweetman in an enterprise that gives
promise Of becoming vastly important.
Early last winter they purchased q large
tract of land on the Little Pembina river
about two miles north of Olga village
and fourteen miles north of this city
having first quietly asoertained that there
were valuable mineral deposits thereon.
Although little OF no information has
been given out by the owners, it has been
divulged by others who are in position
to know that they have deposit of red
lead and other paint materials as we'll Of
brick and cement clays. Mr.. Rushford
has leased his farms and will devote hit
entire time and attention to mining and
preparing for the establishment Of manu-
featuring plants, which it is proposed tt
open. negotiation for at 'once.-Miltor

The payment Of taxes is a duty every
citizens owes to the state. It is moi
pleasant, and often, with the people
distressed by drouth and crop failures, II
ia hard. Yet it is safe to cay that ninety.
nine per cent of the resident tax payers
pay their taxes promptly and ask nc
favors. In strong contrast to this is the
course pursued by some OF the non-resi'
dent and speculative land owners in this
county and, no doubt, other counties Of
the state. Almost oil the dereliots who
fail to pay their taxes are among this
class, and the time OF our courts and
county officers, and the money Of on,
tax payers is consumed in their efforts
to escape the payment of their efforts te
obtain relief from the consequences o,
their refusal or neglect to pay them
This thing ought to end sometime, and
not 60 on foreyer.-Jamestown Alert.
