shall treat our neighbors to 'exhibi-
ton races" such as the one that was
run at Linton on the day Of the old
settlers reunion. All but we will
be required to pay admission or get in
by straddling the barbed wire. which
later horn of the dilemma will, We
are constrained to admit, with some
gentle folks prove a serious and al
most impossible undertaking. This
new track of ours will be o aesthetic

ecration by the vulgar herd that are
too poor to have race-tracks. fine sta
bles, irrigation plants, and so forth,
and so forth.
In the spring the Office towel that
stands behind the back door will be
sent to the laundry. Whatever the
cost may be for washing the towel. the
price will be cheerfully paid. When
it comes to a matter of public improve
ment, we allow the matter of money
to cut a very small supply of ice.
We have secured title to a block of
ground midway between the Method
list and Episcopal churches. Here we
shall erect twelve three story stone
dwellings. These will be let rent
free to families having less than IL
children. Tenants will have the privi-
lege of attending either or both
churches without extra charge.
We now the Milwaukee and
the N. P. extensions. They will be
consolidated and operated as a contin-
uous line between Bismarck and Aber-
deem. Passenger trains will be run
hourly. day and night. Transporta-
ton will be free to Emmons county
voters and their families. Particular
attention will be paid to protecting
from indecent proposals respectable
women who may be travelling alone.
We have hired Sousa's band to come
to Linton and give daily evening con-
certs on Broadway next season. They
will be paid at the same rate per day
that the Linton band boys received
in their mind-for playing at the
old settlers reunion. That is. they
will be paid in case we do not need
the money for paying prizes for our
race-hOrses.
In the merry, merry spring time
Thomas Asterisk IT. y, editor OF the
Anzeiger, our German edition, will be
sent by us to Germany on a mission.
He will bring back with him ten ex-
pert kraut makers to work in a sauer-
kraut factory which we propose to
establish at Linton for the purpose OF
providing a market for the large crop
t of cabbages raised in this county every
year. Herr" will. edit the kraut fac

raise large quantities of oranges, len
