NEW HARBOR LINE IS
MADE ON WEST SIDE
War Department Informs Mayor Smith
That the Work Is Com
pleted.

Mayor Smith yesterday received from
the war department at Washington a let
ter announcing the completion of the
harbor line survey on the West side. An
encroaching tendency on the part of some
OF the land owners on that side Of the
river caused the department to draw the
line rather close.
The south abutment, or approach, of
the Great Western bridge was taken as
the basis of measurement and a line
drawn east and west from this abut-
ment Is the limit beyond which private
corporations and individuals may CO.
The establishing of@ the new line was
principally for the purpose of preserving
the slough just south, of the line of ISL
ands, which extend from a point below
the high bridge3to q opposite Jackson
street. This slough is the natural out
let for the sewers that drain the West
side and because of Entertainments in
the shape of fills and buildings was be-
coming clogged. The owners of levee
leases considered the slough, which is
largely dry a good portion of the sum
mer, a natural accretion which they could
put to good account and were preparing
to make use of it when stopped.
pr. Ohage, who contemplates having
this slough dredged and made a harbor
Tor small craft, Iwithta landing place at
Harriet island, was also considered. The
slough is now cut off from the main
river by number of wing dams, but
these will be torn out and the water per-
mitted to flow through uninterrupted.

GREAT MOVEMENT
In Farm Lands in Penbina County,
North Dakota.

MOTH DakoCd.
The firm of Warner & Andrus have
just returned from Pembina county,
North Dakota, with large party of
land buyers from various parts Of IL
l1noiS, Iowa and Southern Minnesota.
Their party filled a chartered Pullman
car. which was side tracked at Toilette,
North Dakota, and held there for their
return. The party was very we'll pleas
ed with the country and crops In gen
eraL 1t is estimated that wheat will
yield 20 to 40 bushels per acre, oats
from 40 to so, barley from 80 to 40,
Tax from II to 20. The county pre-
sents a very fine appearance. This
section was not affected materially by
the heavy rains of the spring, there
fore, the present great outlook for
abundant crops this season.. In inter-
viewing some of the people who made
up the party the statement was made
that If these lands were in Illinois, in
the vicinity Of NATION, they would
bring one hundred dollars per acre
easily. This only goes to show the
vast resources Of the Red River valley.
especially in Pembina county, which
are being overlooked by the investor
and homeseeker at this time. With a
few more reliable firms like that of
the Warner & Andrus Land company
to bring the attention of the lands Of
the Red River valley to the notice of
the public it will only be matter of
short time until the valley will be all
settled and land bringing a price equal
to that Of Iowa, Illinois and other
states.

TOWSER rs LIKELY TO

Dog Days Are Over and the Dog Catch
err Will Get Him If He Don't
Watch Out. @


~ StrayhdDgs in this city have been en-
7joying all the blessings of liberty thus
cfarl this summer, and the appearance
of. the wagons with the wooden cages
have not been the signal for the hur-
ried locking of the door and the sud
den scramble to get the canine mem
bers of the family out of sight.
But John Gowan, the dog catcher, is
fitting UP his wagons, and he will have
his force out in a : day. or two. Five
wagons will be in service, and they
will cover the city in a months time.
He and his assistants are ready for
their campaign; @ they are provided
with the latest devices for ensnaring
the rowing dog, and they are on to all
the tricks for landing him in the cage.
There are probably 5,000>dogs in the
city. and an average of 1000 are caps

REFUSE GEDNEY MONEY
PICKLE coMPANY's ATTEMPT TO
PAY LEASE BLOCKED
treasurer Bremen Is Advised by Attor-
ney Markham to Send Check for $27
6ack-its Acceptance Would Pref
udice Case of City in Levee Litiga-
ton.

Another chapter was added to the
Gedneya picking lease controversy
yesterday when City Treasurer Bre-
mer refused to accept from the pro-
prietors of the factory a check in full
as rental for the remaining fourteen
years of the company's leadn The
check amounted to SGT, and covered
the period from June, 1902, to June,
1901.
Immediately on receipt of the check,
City Treasurer Bremen consulted Cor
poration Attorney Markham and DIR.
Ohage, and at the close of the con-
ference returned it to the makers with
the statement that it could not be &C
cepted.
Corporation attorney said his reason
for recommending it's rejectment was
that the Gedney lease was at present
IN controversy, and he did not care to
prejudice the city's side of the matter.
The lease is now in the hands Of the
council pending it's revocation, and to
accept the check would be to practical
~ dismiss the entire affair.
The payment of rental ontlevee lease
in full has never been attempted before
The majority. of those having such
lease are generally in arrears.
