The Pence Brothers who live near here
got up some exciting diversion for George
Erwin and a. II. Briggs. of St. Louis on
last Saturday. The boys took their
hounds and got on track of a large grey
wolf which they captured after an eight
hours chase. The wolf is one which has
been bothering the farmers near Tiger
creek, killing hogs. etc. The men were
able to keep within hearing distance Of
the dogs as they ran in circle. The
Pence dogs are good ones and never quit
a trail. This makes several wolves they
have killed during the past year.

Last week f. NJ. Chapman favored this
office with samples of the apples grown
upon his farm five miles northeast Of
town. It's an old saw that notices Of
this kind are given in exchange for such
courtesies. and no matter what the arti-
Gle. how good or how poor it may be
il is the editors part to make it the
best what is. But in this case the writer
need not draw upon his imagination or
color his story in the least-the apples
were beauties. the very best we ever
saw. They were large. symmetricaHy
formed. sound as a gold dollar. juicy
and their flavor excellent.

The New York World, which is much
given TO the exploiting of queer hap
penings. has a long account in a recent
issue of the achievements of Miss Lucille
Mulhall in the line of roping cattle. The
account says that in a recent contest at
South McAlester Miss Mulhall roped and
tied a steer in 40 seconds, thus gaining
the championship of the world as
roper. Such stuff as that is calculated 10

measured three feet. seven inches. I got

600 acres of government lands in the
counties of Walsh, Pembina, Ramsey
and the counties west OF these to and
including Ward, says the Commercial
West. Up to Jan. l, 1902, there Fad
been taken up of these lands approxi-
mately 100000 acres Practically no
government lands now remain to be
taken in any county except a little
rough land in the Turtle mountains.
Bottineau county, some sandy sections
in McHenry county, and some arid
grazing lands in the southwestern Ward
county. 1t was under the homestead
act that this 100000 acres Of land
was occupied, which means that no one
family got more than 10 acres. This
indicates that about $4,000 families
have thus taken homes in this section
of North Dakota in the last eight years.
This does not include the thousands
of families that have taken up resi-
dence on land sold by private owners.
In this territory there was no large
land grant to be held out of general
settlement, so that now these counties
are reasonably well settled, as North
western farm settlement goes. II is
this wiping out of free government
lands northwest that has done much
to raise values Of raw and improved

kota are wont to think of that state as1
a land Of wild uncertainty, says tht1
jamestown Capital; land of poverty,
and hard toll; state much after the
old-time idea of Kansas, full Of enthp-
siasm, good air, good appetites and
long distances, but nothing much more
substantial and satisfying. The peo-
pie of North Dakota can we'll afford to
be thus thought of. for the solid bene
fit is theirs, whatever tradition about
the state may be.
North Dakota, counting the actual
production of the soil per capita,
which is the best test of states ag-
ricultural worth, is one Of the richest
spots on the face of the earth. The
state raised in 1901 about fourteen
acres Of grain for every man, women
aud child. in ~,
40 bushels of fax and 235 bushels Of
wheat per capita of population, which
sold at an aggregate Of $3.50 per cap
tia. The state has $50 worth Of live
stock per capita, and has more acres
of good farm land per capita than
probably any other state in the Union.
The Premier Flax State.
According to the very close estimate
OF the Orange Judd Farmer, q recog-
uized authority, the flax yield Of North
Dakota in 1901 was larger than that
of all the other fax-raising states to-
gether. The following statement
shows its estimated average yield Of
flax seed per acre, and the total pro-
duction by states in 1901:
