The Grand Forks Herald's ex-
ira edition Of last Sunday was:sa
gcol writc-up of the state condi!
tions in regards the financial, the
resources of the difernt localities,
the climatic and crop statistics
and the home for the poor man
were thoroughly discussed. The
edition was handsomely illustra-
ted by numerous cuts. The ads
were neat and tasty and the whole
presents a work of art. It is called
the "North Dakota Edition. and
consists .of % pages.
Among the visitorsf from Mandan
last Saturday evening we noted
Mr.. G. E. Ellis, a prominent real
estate man of that city. Mr..
Ellis used to be i'll the newspaper
business but gavelit up for the less
exciting calling of the real estate
business. He was well pleased
with Washburn, this being his
first visit here.

The farmers should make an
effort to set out a grove of trees
as there is nothing that improves
and protects a farm or dwelling
like n grove of trees. Do not wait
until the years roll by and then
wish that you had planted trees.
Washburn could be made one of
the most beautiful cities of the
northwest if more attention was
paid to the planting of trees, and
each property owner should see to
it that trees are planted around
tn 'ir property and in a few years
Washburn, located on one of the
prettiest natural building spots
on the Missouri slope, would soon
become a natural grove.
The state exchanges chronicle
The daily arrival Of new settlers.
and this year will prove one of
the greatest influx Of new settlers
that the. oldest inhabitant ever
dreamed of. There are a number
of young men living in the state
who have never fled on a home
stead and when it is too late will
regret that they did not secure a
quarter section Of lane from Uncle
Sam. In few more years Uncle
Sam will 70 out of the land bust
ness in North Dakota. Land is
bound to increase in value. Men
of means have seen the wise in
vestments and are investing their
money in North Dakota soil, and
those who have invested have rea-
liked handsomely on their invest.
ments. The government land in
Mclean county is. being rapidly
fled on. Now is the time for a
settler or a young man to secure q
piece Of land. !.

PLAYS AND PLAYERS

greatly pIeases theatre patrons who
delight in comic musical entertain
ments.
y. c. Goodwin and Maxine Elliott
began their tour at the Amphion thea
ture IN Brooklyn Borough last Monday
evening in when We Were Twenty
One" they will also present An
American Citizen: during their tour,
putting it ON in Philadelphia Thurs
day, February 9th.
The Argus regards il as misfor-
tune-iust as il did AT the opening of
the IlliHois-that the first attraction
under the new management SHOULD
be of the weekly repertoire type.
While in this instance il may not be
as unfortunate as was the engage
ment of the 1O-cent aggregation the
second week after the theatre had
been opened. and there is no DISPOSE
ton To create prejudice against this
particular show. which comes her
aided as one of the best i'm it's class.
the fact nevertheless remains that
the repertoire rip-and-tear perform
run. The Illinois would today
be much ahead of what il il i'm it's
earnings so far had il not given up
its second week TO an attraction of
this kind. There is Il demand for
cheap shows; there are people who
want to see them. and they have Il
right to see them. but the patronage
that makes a play house profitable,
and which gave to Rock Island the
beautiful theatre it now has. is ap
pealed to by different style of
drama. The week stand shows
should be few and far between.
During Mary Mannering's southern
tour i'm Janice Meredith" which re-
gins at Louisville February 10.

Chicago. The original contract be-
tween these attractive entertainers
and Klaw & Erlanger. under whose
astute management they have be-
come the strongest drawing stars on
the American stage. will lapse at the
close of next season. new contract
for term of years has already been
exeCuted. however. so that the R0-
gers Brothers will continue under
Klaw q Erlanger's direction at the
expiration of the agreement now
operative. Preparations for next sea-
sons production have been in pro-
gress for some months. II will be

Francis Wilson has evidently made
the greatest hit of his long career as
a comedian as Sammy Gigg, the
tiger" in Nixon and Zimmerman's
production of "The Toreador." now
holding the stage at the Knickerbock-
er theatre in New York. The first
week the receipts. were nearly Sl3.-
600. the largest Mr.. Wilson ever play
ed to on broadway. The premiere
week i'm Washington was over Si2.-
600. This gives il a.record of about
So, 900 for the first two weeks of its
American presentation. This instan-
taneous success certainly makes
''The Toreador" look like an extra
ordinary record breaker. Mr. Wilson
has part in Gigg that is unusually
well apapr h'rl and he presents
performance of this character which
keeps the audience convulsed with
laughter. The music is bright and
attractive and the humor of the piece
is of that refined quality which
