Hurrah for the Fourth.
Plenty OF rain again this week.
Weber township has q celebration Of
it's own on the Fourth and will gather
quite crowd out that way whs con
slider themselves to far from Langdo1
to come here to celebrate.
From the southwestern part of the
county it is reported that grub worms
have been getting in their work on sew
eral early sewn fields of fax that
have since bsen re-seeded to barley.
Friday, July Is, is generally conceded
as the date which the republicans will
set for holding their county convention.
1t is spoken OF with equal certainty
that Langdon will be selected as the
plase.
Tomorrow the republican committee
OF this county gathers at Milton for the
purpose OF setting a date for the party's
county convention, which sends dele
gates to aid in putting up state ticket
at Fargo next month.
Substantial donations were made by
leading Langdon people last week in
response to a call for financial aid in
behalf OF the Grand Forks hospital,
which institution has often opened it's
doors to sick and needy patients from
this county.
Langdon is becoming a great town for
horse racing. two matched trotting races
are to be pulled off on the track here be-
tween now and the Fourth OF July.
There are few towns the size of Langdon
that can show as big string OF trotting
horses, and they can move some too.
Since the meeting OF the town boards
ofreview the assessment hooks from the
townships havlbeen coming into Coun-
ty Auditor Works office every day.
From now until the meeting OF the coun-
ty board OF equalization, July LIST, will
be time of one continual hustle in that

There is talk OF digging a big ditch
down in Pembina county from the Sec
ton OF country bordering the Tongue
river to the Red river, the ditch being
surveyed to run through Hamilton and
adjoining townships in order to avert a
loss to farm land acreages under elrcum-
stances similar to those with which
farmers in the Valley found themselves
confronted with this year.
The heavy wind OF Tuesday night
wrought disaster to many of the finest
shade trees in the city. Possibly the
greatest loss was sustained at the
public school grounds, where three OF the
largest grown trees, planted five years
ago, were caught with fatal effect by
the west wind, which swept over town
at velosity OF thirty-fve miles an hour
from noon Tuesday until daylight We'd
nesday morning,
North Dakota rs-organized it's state
baseball league again this season, but it
il noted that the top-c.column position
in the standing of the teams up to date If
held BY players representing Winnipeg
Manitoba, and Crookston. Minnesota
Interest IN games so far played seems to
have called for much less enthusiasm
over the state than was exhibited g
year ago. North Dakota teams have IL
at least two cases engaged in fistic en-
counters with rhe umpire and as
result the fans begin TO act as though
they felt little bit sore.
