flying to behold the fast multiplying
signs which point to reverse of con-,
ditions in the near future. While the
old-time worshipers still remain firm
in their adherence to the principles of
democracy, and seemingly. pronounce
any deviation therefrom as sacriligious
yet there is real hope in the face Of the
fact that the nature of the younger
generation does so much argue that it
will not adopt the political construc-
tions SO faithfully reverenced by the
seniors. In regard to this significant
generation it's ardent desire to peruse
republican literature, its acrid opposi-
tion to the re-submission bugbear, and
the high admiration it evinces for the
great talents of Theodore Roosevelt,
are evidences which, we think, may be
cited in behalf of the alleged political
vicissitude. This admission is not in
tended as hoax, but is made after an
unpredujiced survey of existing con
ditions; and we are quite positive that.
we have accurately measured our words
and based them clearly upon the evil

parts of our grand country; that is, to
bear material testimony as to the truth
of the existence of this asserted pros
perity.

1idings have been received from the
Herigstads, who recently went to Sill
verton, Oregon. They are very favor
ably impressed with the conditions
there, especially with the delightful
climate which they say is highly i'm
pregnated with the perfume of the
great variety of sweet-scented flowers
that thrive so luxuriantly all through
the western coast region. They fur
ther affirm that nothing could entice
them to come back to North Dakota
again, but we submit that they will
not think thirgs SO lovely when the
rainy season approaches.
The heavy rain last Thursday night
frightened the crop prospects very
much for this season.
Omond Herigstad has just lately
completed term of school in Bald
Hill township and will try his hand at
farm work for the summer. Omond is
one of our bright and promising young

James Hansen was curious to know
how it would be to till the soil on his
own hook, so he accordingly rented a
quarter of section from Frithiof
Greenland and is making things bob
sideways. James is hustler and there
is no guess about that.
The members of the United Mission
intend to build church in the near
