RALPH WHEHLock of the Min
neapolis Tribune observes: Geo.
B. Winship, who has made the
Grand Forks Herald one of the
strongest newspapers in the north
west, recently celebrated his fifty
sixth birthday anniversary, which
recalls that while he has devoted
twenty-five or more years of his
life to his profession in North Da-
1ota, he is far from being in the
superannuated class. In tact, he
has another quarter century of &C
tive work ahead of him so far as
anybody can judge by his present
mental and physical vigor.

IN ALASKA.

While many prospectors have been
combining their search chiefly for gold
and copper deposits in Alaska, others
have been searching for diamonds, and
according to recent reports they have
been successful in finding a few valuable
specimens. There are many other persons
who have been searching for years for
something that is far more precious than
gold or diamonds and that is-health.
They have tried this medicine and that
one in a vain hope Of finding it, with
out success. They should try Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters because it is the most
successful health maker in the world,
and is backed by a record of fifty years
of cures it will positively cure indigestion,
dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness,
insomnia and malaria, fever and ague.
Try it.

To the Citizens of North Dakota:
Under tho law passed through the efforts of
Senatnr Hansbrough there has accumulated
in the national treasury nearly S3,OO0,O00 to
the credit of North Dakota for irrigation
purposes. If this is not called for by this
state, tho secretary of tho interior can allow
it to be temporarily used in other states.
Arc there not sections in North Dakota
where such experiments can be tried with
every probability of SUGGEST Is it not desir-
able that this money be invested in tho state7
1t will increase the value of tho assessable
property in North Dakota at least $50. O0O, 600,
and will therefore benefit all sections of the
state.
Unless concerted action is taken this money
will be used elsewhere. We therefore deem
it best to call a state convention at Bismarck,

ton. Each board of county commissioners is
also allowed to appoint five or moro helegatcs
and each city mayor, commercial organaza-
ton and state educational institution is ask.
ed to name two or more delegates.
It is the desire to make this convention
representative of the best interests of North
Dakota in every respect. The delegates from

CYCLONES in the fall of the year
are most unusual and yet the in
formation is given out by the U.
S. weather bureau that they may
occur at any season of the year
providing conditions are right.
The St. Charles cyclone in Mime,
sofa last Saturday killed eight
people outright and injured scores
of others besides doing untold
damage to property. 1t used to be
supposed that North Dakota was
heir to everything that was bad
but it develops that cyclones do
not get west of the Minnesota

The landlocked Mediterranean, which
was the only sea known to the Romans

ago, was filed with mysterious t~errors,
while the more distant lands bordering

strange peoples. Gods Of monstrous

cannibals. Adventurous voyagers who
got as far as the pillars Of Hercules,
now called the strait Of Gibraltar,
brought back intelligence that the great
ocean beyond was not navigable. 1t
was part Of the mighty river which
flowed around the fiat earth In an un-
ending stream.
Tradition says that there was in those
times at Gibraltar a stone pillar 100 Gu.

darkness" infested with terrors beyond
the power Of the imagination to on
ceive. Occasionally q bold navigator
did, nevertheless, venture outside into
the Atlantic, but was compelled to turn
back very quickly. A whirlwind would
arise and threaten to swamp the vessel,
on, more alarming still, a gigantic hand,
supposed to be that of Satan, would
emerge from the ocean Of eternal gloom
and warn back the mariners.
Not merely on these accounts was
the ocean impracticable for ships. II

The Tribune Write.Up.

On Sept. ~ the Minneapolis Tribune
gave a half page illustrated write up of
Dickinson and vicinity. Following are
a few extracts taken from the article:
Dickinson is a typical Western town,
with all of the energy and push charac-
teristic Of a new couRtry although the
town has been settled for twenty years.
1t enjoys the distinction of being the
largest primary wool market in the state
and the deposits in the two local banks
places the city second in the state and
twenty-seventh in the United States in
the amount of deposits in her banks.
The city is we'll laid out and contains
a number of creditable buildings, public
and private, and is noted for the health.
fulness of its climate.
The present population of the city is
about 5000. 1t boasts the lowest rate OF
taxation of any city in the state, and its
public Improvements have been made
so far without mourning a dollar OF
bonded indebtedness. The streets are
we'll graded, lighted and supplied in
large part with cement sidewalks.
Some splendid herds of blooded cattle
are ranged in territory tributary to Dick
inson, and from these herds are shipped
from time to time prime fat cattle that
have brought the top prices for range
bred cattle on the Chicago market.
From Dickinson south, for seventy
miles to the South Dakota line, there is
a vast stretch lof government land, as
yet sparcely settled on. This land is
covered with the finest grasses to be
found any where in the whole range
country and also we'll watered. Going
from Dickinson south, the Heart river is
crossed at a short distance from the city.
Nine miles further on Antelope creek is
reached, and six miles to the south is the
Cannon Ball river. Again, seven miles
further is Coal Bank creek, and Chanta
Pete creek crosses your trail six miles
south. Cedar creek, Buffalo and Grand
rivers are yet other streams met with in
this region, showing how we'll the coun
try is watered.
At present the best means of visiting
this fine ranching and farming country
10 by means of the Dickinson, New Eng
land & Haley stage line, leaving Dick
inson on Mondays Wednesdays and
Fridays. This country is as yet, for the
most part, given over to grazing, but the
finest vegetables man could wish are
grown here. This strip is about thirt,
miles wide by seventy long, and land
is now selling for from s2.5o per acr,
for grazing land up to So per acre TO
best propositions in tilable lands.
