Paul Fire & Marine Insurance Co. This

out.

near Trier for visit over the week end
to check up business at his fruit and
confectionery store. Though entirely a
new section, the southwestern part of the

The Milton postotfice did S2,503.91
business last year, over double the
amount of ten years ago and showing an
increase of $31S.SS over the previous year.
The Office has recently carried with it a
salary of S1,l00 and is now in line for an
increase of 500. The present incum-
bent of the Office, Jos. Powles, has held
the job since 1899, the changing of ma
tlonal administration not calling for a
change in the Milton postot1ice. He is
popular with ali classes and never made
himself factor in politics.
Frank A. Wilson, we'll known by all of
Langdon's pioneers and who has gained
a state wide reputation as editor of the
Bathgate Pink Paper, which though
sometimes white in color is always re(a)d,

in the shape of couple Of days visit last
week. From all reports things appear
to be moving somewhat slowly over at
the Gate, but even such environments
cannot slacken the gait OF such Il typical
hustler IS Editor Wilson, who these days

of highly improved farms than any other
section of western Cavalier county, and
from now on the ruling price fer good
land there is not likely to be mueh less
than $50 per acre.
What do our public spirited citizens
think of Langdon's position today when
1t comes to taking care of and entertain
ing visitors to our city? The condition
of Langdon's hotel accommodations was
crowded enough before the Palace closed
couple OF months ago and since that
time the situation has become such as to
threaten the necessity of Langdon aban-
douing the entertaining visiting crowds
and all public gatherings. The condition
of things in this respect at the present
time with court in session illustrates how

Jurors and others attending court are
billeted all over town and the stay here
shortly Of Cavalier county teachers dur
ing institute week will find 1t necessary
to resort to the same means for their en-
terta,nment II Langdon isn't going to
pass up all public gatherings of this kind
