Have you laid in a supply of
meats? The butchers of the large
packing houses are now out on a
strike.
A. P. Lenhart, our popular drug
gist, left Thursday for a short visit
with his parents in Fargo. He will
be absent about two weeks, and it
is reported that he will not return
alone-an "uncle" will return with
him. Mr.. Henning will have charge
of the store while he is absent.
G. NJ. Best, of Sanborn, returned
Saturday from a trip through Nc
Lean county with a party Of land
seekers. He succeeded in dispos-
ing Of five quarter sections Of land
and figures that he did fairly we'll.
G. M. is one Of the best real estate
agents of the west and delivers the
goods if there is half a chance
Palladium.
DR.. Bagstad returned last Satur-
day from a somewhat lengthy visit
to Minnesota points. The doctor
informs us that during his absence
he took in two state examinations,
one in Minnesota and one in North
Dakota. He said hat he had a
good time. but was glad to get back
to Washburn and settle down to
hard work.
Haying is now on in full blast,
and no one needs to complain of a
shortage in rough feed this winter.
II the stockmen and farmers do not
get up enough feed for their stock
this season, it will not be the fault
of North Dakota this year, for ma
ture in her way has produced a
bountiful supply Of hay, and Of a
superior quality.
MI. c.. d. Patterson, who is now
located near Medina. where he has
a claim, spent a few days i'll Wash
burn this week. Some time ago. he
met with a severe accident while
leading his horse to water. In some
manner, his thumb on his left hand
got caught in the rope and nearly
tore the member off. He reports
his crops in the most excellent con-
dition.
The past week we have been
shown a number of fine samples of
grain. and we have never seen bet
ter. The specimens of wheat shown
were we'll headed out and nearly
four feet in height. This section
will have a bountiful harvest if
nothing prevents. A great many Of
the farmers are protecting them
selves against hail and are resting
easy ON that score. Nearly all Of

The 500 Line has commenced
work on the stock yards at this
point. The yards will be located
Just west of town, and will be of
the latest design. Yards will also
be erected on the opposite side Of
the river for the accommodation of
the Oliver county shippers. Capt.
Baker Informed our reporter that
he would erect sheds for the accom-
mediation of those who come to this
side. These improvements all help
to develop the county and will be
the NEAR Of bringing a large trade
to this place from Oliver county.
The 500 road wants the business
of the county and is going to make
it possible for the settlers to reach
the road in us easy way as possible.

ping tank started at Conkling this
week by the well known parties,
Fahlgren Bros.and Latrop, and par
ties having dipping done by them
donot hesitate to express their sat-
isfaction. 1t is conceded by many
that on account of the number of
cattle received here annually, the
dipping process bids fair to be a
permanent thing, and in order to
obviate the dangerous and disagree
able features Of the regular tanks,
the above parties have equipped an
apparatus to slowly submerge the
cattle and thus prevents any loss.
Several enterprising parties have
stated they would like their cattle
dipped at spring time, and it seems
likely that this plant, which was
built for private use, may prove of
