RICHBURG.

Great Northern engineers were TAX
ing levels in Richburg on Monday
probably for the purpose Of deciding
whether this place admitted of easy
Drainage. In that respect Richburg is
better located than the proposed new
town. The coulee to the southeast is
nearer here than the river Is to West!

Dave, Williamson was here Sunday
and returned Monday to Soufls
The souris ball team, or few ofthat
team and some hired experts from
other points, was out here last Satur-
day and succeeded in doing our boys
up badly. However, there is another
chance coming, and it is just possible
that Souris will be paid back in it's own
coin. Our team is made up wholly Of
Richburg boys, most OF them farmers,
and they are able to hold their own
with any similarly constituted club. ].
DR.. Greig was here Monday on his
way to Sergius, where he has home
stead. The wind does not whistle
through his beard as in days of old.
He sacrificed it in Chicago to facilitate
breathing in that overheated city.
There was grand picnic Friday in
Jim Schell's grove and there was fun
galore. The Antler Sporting club are
great entertainers and the grove is one
of the most beautiful spots in this Sec
tion. ~. SIT s.t fsftI

mand this fall. = 5,T
Attorney Creswell Of Souris, was
here Monday. He says he has bought
some corner lots in the new town.
They may be good suburban property
in the town of Richburg in few years.
Grading commenced on the exten-
sion of the railway this side of the
river Tuesday morning of last week.
1t was to have commenced at the new
townsite and work east, but the COM
pany decided to reverse the order and
there is a chance that Richburg may
be the end of the line yet.
The familiar face of ljill Hines was
seen in town on Monday. He has
stuck close to his farm this summer
and has in large crop.
Nels Lien returned from Bottineau
last Saturday and has settled down to
work, and from the looks of his fields
he will have plenty to do until after
threshing. Nels should have a help
mate.

The Bottineau News seems to have
a grudge against Richburg. BY the
way, what did Richburg ever do to
Falkenstein that he should want it's
citizens to be put to the trouble of
moving? 4.. sv
Fred DeLisle came in from Bottineau
Monday night. He has taken, unto
himself a better half since he left here
and we all wish him Joy.
Miss Nellie Warner visited with her
parents hereon Sunday.
Haying has commenced and will be
in full swing in a few days.
A three-day trip through the country
northwest Of here revealed as fine a
layout Of graiL Of all kinds as one
could wish to see. No better crops in
any part Of the northwest The Iowa
settlement in the northern part of 16s-
83, which was settled only about year
ago, is as far advanced II most respects
as the older settled aiAtticts. OF course
the buildings are neither large nor
handsome, but there is scarcely far
mer who has not a hundred acres under
crop and the whole district has an air
Of prosperity far beyond what one
would expect in newly-settled dis
trict. Ofcourse the people there are
experienced farmers, which largely
accounts for their rapid progress.
Schools are being arranged for and a
postofice will soon be established. We
hope they may continue to prosper,
and they will if no unforeseen calamity
overtakes them. n
One Of the finest farm houses Of the
country is that Of A. r. Brown, q little
to the southwest Of Richbnrg. Though

two seasons. he has erected 4 large
