Fakirs VS. Home Merchants.

This truism may have special
application at this time. The man
who patronizes his home dealers
always avoids the chances Of loss
which accompany the habit of deal
ing with transients and strangers.
On general principles it is always
the wise plan to spend your money
where you can register a kick if
the goods are unsatisfactory. No
matter how tempting the scheme
presented by the travelling pc ldler,
there is usually kink in it some
where that does not rebound to the
advantage of the buyer. Nine
times out of ten, when you imag-
inc you are getting an especially
fine bargain of grocery or a steel
range peddler, you can go to your
local dealer and duplicate or beat
the bargain (?) prices, and in the
tenth case you are liable to get
soaked on quality, to say nothing
of keeping the money in circula-
ton locally and building up a
home Market

Mclean County Lands in Demand.

The report of the United States
land office at Bismarck shows that
Mclean county lands are more in
demand than those Of any other
county in the district: During
the year ending June Both, there
were 1910 homestead entries made
at the Bismarck land Office. Of
this number, 8O5, or more than one
quarter of the entire number, were
made for lands in Mclean county,
more than double the number made
in any other single county in the
district. The nearest approach to
Mclean county was in Burleigh,
where the number of entries was
400. s
It must be taken into cOnsidera-
tion, also, that there, are % town
ships Of Mclean county land in
the Minot and Devils Lake land
districts. If the number of entries
in these % townships were reck-
oned, it would be seen that Nc
Lean county has still larger lead
over other counties on the slope.
As matter Of fact, it has come
to be known that the lands in Nc
Lean county, the famous Wash
burn land belt, in the big bend OF
the Missouri river are the best
lands on the slope, They are fer
tile, level, we'll watered, good. rich
soil, ard fine water. The move
m mt Of immigration to Mclean
county shows which land is best.
The following list shows the
number Of entries made in each of
the counties named, or that part
of them in the Bismarck land dis
trict, for the past year: Billings.

The following article is taken
from Exchange and contains SO
much good, sound advice that we
reprint it in these columns:
don't torment yourself about
what people are going to think
about this and that action. No
matter what you do or leave un-
done, some will criticise you Sc
verely, and the very best way for
getting through life with compare
tive comfort is after you have made
up your mind as to the prosperity
and advisability of a certain course
pursue it calmly, without paying
the slightest attention to the criti-
cisms Of the lockers on from the
outside. You see, just because
they are on the outside they only
see the surface. It does not mat
ter in the least what they think.

Serious Accident at Strawberry Lake.

Thomas Doyle met with a ser.
iops if not fatal accident last Mon.
day. He started to come to Velva
after load of lumber and had
reached a point near lake Otis
when he drove up behind a lumber
wagon containing Mr.. Hodges and
son of Sawyer and another gentle
man, who had been to the lake on
Iafshing excursion. The latter on
starting for home placed a loaded
shot gun in the hind end of the
wagon and as Mr.. Doyle drove up
behind asked Mr.. Hodges, Jr., to
hand him the gun. In doing Sc
the gun was discharged and the
load of BIB shot, hit Mr.. Doyle and
team at distance of about
four rods. Seventeen shot pene-
trated his anatomy from his head
downward. Mr.. Doyle was taken
to the nearest residence and medi-
cal aid summoned in the person of
DR.. Johns who dressed the wounds
and made the patient as comforta-
BILE as possible. The doctor was
unable to locate but three of the
shot which entered his body.
1t was indeed close call from
instant death, which was probably
prevented by buckle on his sus-
penders over his heart. The latest
reports from the injured man are
very favorable considering the SER
iousness of the injury. DR.. Johns
is of the opinion that unless blood
poisoning sets in Mr.. Doyle will re-
cover. 1t is the supposition that
the gun was cooked and when Mr..
Hodges picked it up he touched
the trigger with results above de-
scribed. d.-McHenry County Journ-

An exchange says: "The next
time a travelling peddler calls at
YOUR door and tries to sell you
goods, ask Lin if he will take your
eggs, butter and other farm pro-
ducts; ask him if, when the town
is getting up a little celebration or
a subscription is being circulated
to defray the expense Of a ball
game, he would willingly donate a
few dollars to help it along? Tell
him there is a poor family down
the road-would he donate little
money to buy provisions? ask him
if he will contribute to new en-
terprise just starting. Your mer-
chant will do all this and much
more"

marck Sunday evening, in hopes
that the injured man might. be re-
moved to the hospital, but the
young man had died half an hour
before the train arrived.
William Carter was born near
Toronto, Canada, and was at the
time Of his death only twenty
six years old. He movdd to North
Dakota in the fall of '96 and has
resided near Washburn most of
that period of tlme-excepting a
short time he lived in Bismarck.
He was married two years ago 10
Miss Myrtle Roam and their home
was a most happy one.
; The deceased was a strong, ro-
bust young man in the pride of
young manhood with the bright
prospects Of long and happy life
before him. He was known to all
and had the respectand confidence
of all with whom he came in con-
tact. He was hard worker,
and had always tended strictly to
his employers interests. During
his employment on the steamer
Washburn, and by strict attention
to duties he had been promoted to
the position Of nate, which posi-
ton he held at the. time of his
death.
The accident was a sad one and
cast a gloom of sadness over this
section as the deceased was res
pected by all and many were the
kind words spoken Of his noble
qualities.
He leaves widow and little
son five months old who were with
hin. at the time Of his, death. A
brother living about 40 miles
north of Coal Harbor was sent for
but did not arrive until Monday
morning early His parents are
still living in the old home near
Toronto, Canada. Mr.. Carter ex-
pected to move back to the old
home this ;fallsss IS: he owned some
property there which required bis

A request has been handed to
the Pioneer that it call attention
to the fact that there is a standing
reward in the statutes of 500 for
she arrest and conviction of any
person who steals any horses, cat
tl tic or mules in this state. The
fact is that good deal Of stealing
Of such animals seems to be going
on in this section Of country. There
have been several mysterious dis
appearances, and parties who have
advertised their lost animals in the
Pioneer frequently call our atten-
ton to these disappearances. Cat
tie and horses do not wander of
from their usual grazing grounds.
nor do they disappear from their
stables, without someone taking
them. The law referred to, found
in 7,46Oa of the Revised Codes,
was expressly for the protection of
the horse and cattle industry of
this state. Advertisements now
appearing in the Pioneer relate to
animals .hat is believed have been
stolen. and there is a chance for
somebody to make nice stake in
bring the thieves to justice.-Man-
dan Pioneer.
