highest market prices without the

the state. The new company which

composed Of Messrs. Hubbard and
Hopkins of Holstein, Ia. Mr.. Hopkins
is president Of the company. Mr..
Hubbard is secretary and treasurer,

menced at once and nothing but a
modern plant with all the latest but
ter making machinery will be INSTALL
ed. 1t will take about one month
to complete the work and by the first
of May the creamery will be ready
for business. The active and persist
ent efforts of Messrs. Brown and Lam
bertOn have been at last rewarded
and far rmers of this county can look
for a good creamery at Jamestown.

McGOVERN LOST.

San Francisco, Cal., April 1.-The
much-talked of fight, which was to
have been twenty rounds, between
Terry McGovern and Young Corbett
was pulled off last night. McGovern
had the best Of the odds in betting.
Both men looked the pink of con-
dition. The fight was pretty one,
from start to finish, and clearly
showed the different style of action.
McGOvern showed best at short arm
work, while Young Corbett was best
at long range work, and was much
shiftier on his feet. McGOvern had
a shade the best of it for the first
eight round but Corbett appeared to-
grow stronger in the later rounds,
landing blow in the eleventh which
put McGovern down and out-the
referee awarding the contest to Cor
bott. McGOvern's seconds claimed
that Terry was on his feet before the
count was finished.

WANTTELEPHONE LINE.

r. S. Towle and family will return
to the Ypsi1anti farm for the summer
and fall after spending the winter in
jamestown. Mr.. Towle says he is
in hopes the farmers of that part OF
the county will not let up in the ar
rangements for a rural telephone
line and for country mail delivery;
He thinks the telephone line would
be the most valuable improvement
that could be put in and wherever
farmers have the instruments, in
their houses they would not think of
getting along without them. They in
crease the value of land in making
farm work easier and farm life less
lonesome while the great convenience
of being able to communicate with
neighbors long distance away as
well as the outside world, is specially
enjoyed on the farm. The cost of the
line is not great compared to the
benefits and after the line is once
put in, the expense for repairs is very
light.

Minot Reporter: J. R. korgel, who
owns a section Of fine farming and
grazing land five miles north of this
city, was in Minot one day last week
and proved up on quarter upon
which he moved fourteen years ago.
At that time no provisions had been
made in regard to filing on that land,
but he filed as soon as the law allowed
him to do so. Ten years ago he
bought REIMBURSEMENT to a claim
for s. and had a friend file on the
land. Recently he paid $1,000 for
that very same claim. This is an
example of the improvement of the
country in that time.

Sudden Death of an Old Time Resi-.
dent of Pin
gree.
Heart Disease Caused DeSmiSe With
nut Pain or Warn.
ing.
One of the County's Pioneer Resi-
dents. A Sketch of
His Life.

Friday night, William A. Bartholo
new, the wellknown resident of Pin.
gree, arrived from Spokane where he
has spent most of the winter, and on
Saturday was greeting old friends. In
the evening he was at supper at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Ly-
man, and spent an hour or more in
cheerful conversation. He went to
the residence of his daughter, Mrs.
Leonard Wanner, about 1880 p. m.
and at 8 p. m. he was dead, his de-
mise being due to heart failure. He
had been feeling unusually we'll and
had told a number of his friends that
barring his defective hearing, he nev-
er felt better. He said that he had
lived long enough and was ready to 60
at any time as he had passed his day
of usefulness and thought that he
must be getting to be a trial to his
friends. He expected to go to the
Pingree farm today to spend the sum-
mer months as usual.
The deceased would have been 81
years of age on May 9th. next. He
was born in Indiana, and came to
North Dakota in 1881. He located
near Pingree and took government
land, a tree claim and homestead,
which farm his only son, Will Bar
tholomew now resides upon. The tree
claim, which is known as about the
finest collection of trees in the cOun-
ty, was set out by the deceased and
was a source of gread pride to him.
He quit the active farm work about
ten years ago. He leaves four chill
dren living and two dead. The liv-
ing are Mrs. L.F. Wanner, Mrs. The
odore Stone, of Augusta: Wis.,, Mrs.
Oscar White of British Columbia, land
W. A. Bartholomew of Pingree. He
had some % grandchildren, among
whom are County Supt. Wanner. He
was an uncle Of the late Judge Bar
tholomew Of Bismarck and his father
was General Bartholomew, prominent
in Indiana state history in early days.
Deceased had been member of
the Methodist church for over 60 years
and his funeral will be conducted by
Rev. Danford of this city at Pingree,
tomorrow, assisted by the Jamestown
Masons, of which order deceased was
member. Interment will be at the
Pingree cemetery. About six years
ago, Mrs. Bartholomew, the beloved
wife, died, since which time life has
had less attractions for the husband,
who spent much of his time in the
company of his children and grand
children both in this state and els
where. The services were held at
Pingree on the arrival of the train
at that place Tuesday morning.
Few of the older settlers Of the
county were so greatly respected as
the deceased. He was an exemplary
citizen, a man of large sympathies and
living as he understood his duty, a
Christian life. His death, at a ripe
age, and being ready for the reaper,
the end coming without pain and
suddenly, was a fitting termination
to a long useful and active life.

The official annOuncemnt of the
increase in wages of the N. P. rail
way employees for this division has
been made. The increases of pay
begin March l and are over the rates
that were in force January l last.
AS heretofore stated passenger con-
ductors and brakemen get II per cent
advance and conductors and brake
men on freight, mixed and work
trains get Is per cent over wages
they received Jan. l, 1903. The in
crease applies also to all new runs
put on since Jan. l. Wages Of switch
men and switch foremen will be in
creased also, in amount of sc per day
over the present rate.
1t is a liberal advance, and will
mean a handsome addition to the
pay roll and snug sum each month
for the railroad boys over what they
have been drawing. There is plenty
of business in sight for the season
and the Dakota division will be hum
ming this fall. A good crop will
again tax the capacity of the road to
the utmost to handle the traffic es-
pecially between Jamestown and

Wages.

A st. Paul dispatch says that the

tee, headed by Committee Chairman
j. W. B. johnson and Messrs. A. B.
Garretson and W. T. Newman, of the
National Order of Conductors and
Trainmen, called upon General Sup
erintendent NJ. G.. Kimberly Thurs
day afternoon to effect a settlement
with the company on the wage ques-
tion: A further conference took place
yesterday. The commission members
expressed full confidence of reaching
a speedy understanding. The Off
cials of the Northern Pacific would
say nothing excepting that the COM
mittee which represents all the train
men on the system would receive
generous treatment.
1t is reported that the arrangement
has been completed and that passen-
ger train men get II per cent and
freight men Is per cent advance in
wages.
The report was confirmed today as
being correct. This gives passenger
conductors $14O manth, and brake
men $67.20. Freight trainmen's
wages are computed by mileage and
the raise will mean large and SUBJ
stantial one for them. The increase
is in excess of rates in effect Jan. l,
1902 and will be in effect for the
month of March.
