The Flight Of the Geese.

ST. Paul Dispatch: Away up in the
Hudson Bay country the geese remain
all summer Matching and growing
and until they begin their flight south
they may be seen in countless thou
sands. says a traveller, and they also
be seen in the vicinity of Lake Winni-
peg and other waters in flocks SO
large that their numbers cannot be
computed. Before the settlement of
Manitoba and the Dakotas, thirty
years ago, these geese kept well to-
gether, coming down from the north,
following the Missouri river. When
these birds settled down they were
so numerous as to entirely cover up
vegetation for miles. In such a case
the sportsman with a rifle from a dis
lance of half OF quarter of a mile could
pick off his birds undisturbed as long
as they remained in the field, a single
shot often resulting in the killing or
%wounding of three or four birds. There
was little chance to miss. The poor
est hunter could not fail to get more
geese than he could carry. AS the
geese move farther south they break
up into flocks, but even then a thou.
sand in a flock, especially of the white
brandt. is no uncommon sight. The
brandt are pure white. and when they
settle down on a field they resemble
a snow bank. They are smaller thar

instead of flying in wedge shape the!

With Plumley just back from the
irrigation convention, and a broken
ankle in the business Office, the For
I'M nevertheless sees the silver lining
in the following:
1.-THE increased valuation of prop
erty in the state and the substantial
gain in population is rapidly removing
much of the embarrassment in connec
ton with meeting obligations of gov
eminent. While the total Of taxes is
increasing in harmony with the growth
of the state the burden is being more
widely distributed. The state has a
substantial cash surplus in the treas
ury and all running expenses are
promptly met. County, town and
school governments are much better
off financially than in any previous
period Of the states history. There are
many reasons for cOngratulatiOn on
the part of citizens, Notwithstanding
the embarrassment in connection with
the institution bonds. 1t is evident
that the credit of the state has i'm
proved UNNECESSARILY in the past few
years. The main work of future legis-
lation will be to so adjust government
tai laws as to take advantage of the
improved conditions.

The jamestown Capital calls atten-
ton to the dissipation of the state
school fund in Missouri as a warning
to North Dakota. in the management
of the immense fund which is being
accumulated for the common schools.
A total of over four million dollars
given to the state of Missouri by the
national government has disappeared
and in it's stead the people have TO
Lay an annual tax for interest on the
debt created by the mismanagement OF
the school fund. 1t appears, how
ever, that the Missouri school fund
was diverted to general state purposes
through dishonest officials. No such
thing has ever been attempted in
North Dakota. The only effort to apply
the school fund was to pledge the land
resou, e of the state for funds to be
devoted to the institutions for which
the money is intended.

A recent decision of the general land
Office in a land contest brought against
a travelling man, who filed on land in
Dickey county, made occasional trips
there, built a house and took his meals
to the land from the hotel, is that the
intent of the law was not carried out
and the land was given to a CONTESTANT
A number of travelling men in the state
have made land filings and under this
ruling it will be doubtless difficult for
them to make proof If their entries are
contested.

Fargo Forum: Desk Sergeant Joe

pedal extremities in running a petty
thief to ground this morning.
A stranger picked up a box of choice
Smyrna figs from in front of the store
of the Stacy Fruit Co., about 8 o'clock
this morning, and started at a lively
pace in the direction of Broadway. A
telephone message to the station
brought the plucky little desk sergeant
who caught sight of the fellow on
Broadway and after a lively sprint of
four blocks overhauled his man and
landed him safely at the police sta
ton. The fellow gave his name as
John Smith and after being searched
was locked in a cell at the city Jail
Letters found revealed the true name
of the offender as J. A. GrOulx, who
at one time resided at Bismarck. The
Stacy company refused to make q
, complaint against Groulx for the theft
of the figs. and he was arraigned in
the city court on a vagrancy charge
He entered a plea of guilty and was
given a suspended sentence of 81;

The Bottineau Courant publishes an
interesting account descriptive of the
late storm in that vicinity. Rain to the
amount of three and one-half inches

eight inches. Drifts six to ten feet
deep were common, while shocks of
wheat, oats and barley standing in the

Two THOUSAND DOLLARS
City Of WiItmar is Asked to Pay Above
Amount as Damages for n. D.
ManninR's Broken Arm.

The city is Sin for it, now. Nd. D.
Manning, the well-known citizen, who
carries his arm in a sling as the re-
suit Of fracture which he sustained
early in March, by falling on one OF
the city walks, threatens suit
against the city of Willmar to recov-
er damages to the amount of $1,000.
The notice of demand for the above
sum has been fled with City Clerk o.
mundson through Mr.. Manning's at
torney, George Muller. The matter
will come up for consideration by the
new council.
The notice recites that on the 9Th of
March last, on the west crossing of
Fourth street and Benson avenue,
within the corporate limits of the city
Of Willmar, the complainant was Sc
iously and painfully injured; that
said crossing is improperly and i'm
perfectly constructed, and that by
reason thereof ice had accumulated
thereon and was covered with mud;
that complainant, while lawfully trav-
cling thereon on foot was without
fault or negligence on his part vio-
lently thrown by reason of his feet
slipping on the ice, and that his left
arm was broken by the fall. The sum
OF two thousand dollars is demanded
as damages.

WILLhhAR IMPROVES Gun 0lNCs
List OF the New Buildings and Improvements to Old Ones
Made During the Present Year.

Wil]mar is live town, very much
so. No better Indication of the
rapid growth in population can be
found than the demand for residences.
This demand has become louder and
louder fos some time, and the result
can be seen by making trip through
the residence portions OF the CITY, A
Tribune representative made such a
tour the other day and was surprised
at the'magnitude of operations already
started in that line. Every carpenter
and stone mason is busy at present,
and it looks as if they would be kept
busy throughout the season. The
list given below is very conservative
in the estimated cost of buildings.
Most of these buildings are put up for
the use of the owners, but some OF
them are erected to rent. The large
element of railroad people, who may
be transferred at any time and there
fore do not care to invest in residences,
makes a great demand for this kind
of houses-a demand that has for
some time been greater than the sup
ply. One of the builders tells us that
he had only had a few shovelfuls OF
earth dug for the cellar when someone
came along and asked for a chance to
rent the building when completed.
The building of business blocks may
sometimes be speculative, but there is
nothing speculative about the build
ing operations now going on. It is a
natural result of the solid growth OF
the town.
A list of buildings to be erected this
season, a number of which are already
under construction, besides other
building improvements, follows:
