There have been eleven new cream
cries started east of the James river
this year in central North Dakota and
several are being organized for the
Red river valley proper. The cream
cries of two towns in one of the c0un-
ties in the western part of the state
paid the farmers over $4,000 last
year. \ new creamery has been guar
santeed the people in the vicinity of
cleveland in Stutsman county also and
with the creamery started last year
lot Medina by William Dwyer and
Others, there will be three butter
making plants in operation in this
county, all new enterprises.
At Kuhn in La Moure county
Creamery is now making about seven
sty-five tubs of excellent butter
week. The creamery started at Cakes
has doubled it's capacity and last year
paid out to the farmers from that one
plant over $4,000. -Four years ago
IL was running along with little bust
ness as cheese factory, but the far
|mers have begun to realize the adj
vantages Of the sale OF butter fat and
have added more cows until the con-
Germ is on thriving basis.
The towns of Hunter, Hope, Davcn-
port, Wolcott, Erie, LII Moure, BEL
mont and Hensel all put in creamer-
les last year and numerous other
towns are making q start. 1t is pre-
dicted the creamery business will
make great change in the farm
work of each community, especially
in the central and western parts Of
the state, and gradually increase the
price of land, as it has helped to do in
Iowa and other states.
Times Have Changed. ~
The wild and woody period of the
existence of North Dakota has passed,
q fact which is proven by many in
cidents of the growth of the state.
One of these proofs is to be found in
the fact that capital made. in this
state in seeking investment che
where, and that some of it is being
used for the development of resources
in states which are much older. An
illustration of this is to be found in
the investment by residents of Cava-
lier. county within the past few
months of funds sufficient to secure
q controlling interest in very desira-
BILE mining property in California.
Langdon capitalists have engineered
the deal, and many of the substantial
4 farmers of the county have invested.
Another incident of q similar ma
ture is the purchase by Langdon
anan of property or exactly the other
/ side of the continent for purposes of
Investment. j. ID. McPhail of Lang
don has just returned from trip to
the East on which he bought large
block of land in Virginia. This land
4 is located in one of the sections of
the state which is by nature as rich
as is to be found in Old Dominion,
but it is just beginning to feel the
effects of the work of reclamation
which has been going on in those
sections of the South which were
devastated by the war. ~
Friphtful Death.
A young man by the name of An
derson met his death in frightful
manner in feed mill at Kidville near
Fort Ransom.
The door leading from the grinding
room into the engine room had be-
come locked and in order to gain &C.
cess to the engine the young man was
compelled to crawl through small
hole in the wall through which the
drive belt was running.
In attempting to do this he was
caught by the belt and carried and
thrown against the fly wheel. The
body was badly torn and bruised, and
death was no doubt instantaneous
The unfortunate young man was only
nineteen years of age, nephew Of
Hon. T.. p. Anderson, and was vel

Wants Action.
Mrs. Flora NJ. Douglas of Fargo has
served a notice of q summons and
complaint on President Foster of the
Fargo board of education to set aside
some of the taxes of Fargo. The &c
ton attacks the legality of the free
text book assessment made by the
board and attracts much attention as
it may set aside lot of taxes. Some
paving tax levies are also attacked
