The company which will present ga
Wise Woman" the latest musical farce
at the Opera House in the near future
has a really wonderful array of we'll
known people enlisted in the ranks of

have organized what is undoubtedly one
of the strongest farce comedy casts ever
brought together.

business at $50 each evening until the

Senator Plain is not one of the kind of
law makers who let the grass grow I'M
der their feet during the sixty days at
the capitol. The half dozen odd bills
he introduced number among the more
measures introduced during
the session, and as far as heard from he
is the only member from this county
who succeeded in securing the enact
ment as law of bills introduced. As the
legislative representation from this
county was republican by two to one'it
shows pretty good recognition of tine
legislative ability of Senator Plain. who
is a democrat as we'll as statesman.
John e. Arnold left this week for the
Oxbow country, where he will take an
active part in the opening up and settle
menL OIL CudI pOFtlOl vi IuG SOfLIlWcSt.
He is the owner of four sections of land
over there and will also have the look
ing after of lands owned by many Lang
don spectators on the other side. Mr..
Arnold has been a successful farmer in
Harvey township the past six years and
disposed of his section of land there last
fall for $4,000. His career as a farmer
in Cavalier county during this short
time has been attended with what might
be called phenomenal results. AS at
the time he came here from Ontario his
possessions consisted Of single team of
horses and barely enough money to start
in. The $40 acres he has accumulated
represent an outlay of less than $500,
and besides the price for which he sold
out he has cleared on an average
$1,000 year. Mr.. Arnold and his fami
ly have enjoyed the warmest friendship
of host of acquaintance and their re-
moval will be greatly missed by the
Harvey Centre people. All wish them
success in the Canadian Northwest.
