Dihlie 4 Go. that is not up to
the standard you can get your
money back without a question.
We have shipped this year from
the Twin Cities fifty-ni.ae car
loads of material, lime, cement,
plaster, brick, nails, hardware,
paper, glass, etc, beside lots OF
local material which has come in.
We have figured on buying
right, and we can, therefore, sell
right, and we will do SO.
AS to the crops thru the coun-
ty, all along the line we have
found the best crops we ever saw
anywhere. We do not know
that we are a particular Judge of
crops, but we have been in North
Dakota for twenty-five years,
and have seen a good many OF
them, and never saw one that
looked better than the one in
Ward county at the present
time.
While we could 60 on and talk
for a day in regard to the county
and the business it is doing, we
will not tire you in doing SO.
Thanking you for the space in
your paper, we remain,
Yours truly,

For Men Only.

A young man arrived in Minot Tues
day who believes in advertising and like
the great Barnum, he believes that the
people like to be humbugged. He scat
tered dodgers about the streets inform
ing the people that he would give lee
ture to men only and free at that and
asking them to come sure. He stated
that his lecture was to be illustrated
with male and female subjects. 1t was.
He had three females and they did all
sorts of fancy dances, highland filings
and the like before large crowd OF
men-no ladies mind you. The fellow
left with his bevy of damsels the follow
ing morning and took pocket full OF
greenbacks from the people of Minot as
a remembrance of a really good town.

100000 WORTHOF

that we. know Of.
We will 60 a little further up
the line, now to Bowbells on the
$500" Altho Bowbells is not
big, it is certainly a thriving lit
tie place. We are putting up a
building there so it. by SOFT,
two stories, for Messrs. Thomas
Hurry and Roy Geralomy, as
partners, at a cost OF Il little
over $4,000, and we want to
say to the readers OF the Inde-
pendent that Bowbells is still on
the map and growing very fast.
Also Bowbells is getting what
very few towns twice as big have,
which is due to the energy OF it's
citizens, they are putting in five
blocks of cement sidewalks at a
cost of about $3, 800, and when
finished will make the city the
finest on the 500 line, or west Of
Grand Forks. We are not try
ing to boom any town in partic-
ular, as we do business in all OF
them, but we can not help but
speak of Bowbells as a thriving,
swell, good town. The people
there have given us the work on
the grounds Of the reputation
that D. A. Dinnie 4 Co. has made
since they came to Minot Just
two and one-half years ago.
A little further about the work
we have done this year: We
have, practically speaking, got
all Of it without competition.
We have in Minot a fine shop
and warehouse where we handle
all kinds of material at the low
est possible prices that it can be
bought for anywhere. Our ma.
teria] is always of the best be-
cause it is always fresh. We
have averaged this year two car
loads OF cement per month,
which means 400 barrels per
month. We have used and sold
in Minot and vicinity 30 tons OF
plaster per month. We have
bought - carloads of lime SO
far this season.
The building business will in
crease from now on, and anyone
in need OF material in our line we
will be more than glad to have
call and get our prices before
buying elsewhere, and we will
guarantee to everyone that any

10 the Editors OF the Independ-
ent and the Citizens OF Ward
County:
We want to make a small
statement OF the business done
by d. A. Dinnie & Co., in Ward
county, N. D., SO far this year,
and the work being done by
them outside of this county.
We are to-day working one
hundred and seventeen men and
paying out on an average OF
about $4,000 per month for la
Dor, and perhaps doing more
business in the building line than
any other one firm in the state
OF North Dakota, excepting one
firm only, which is Dinnie Bros,
Of Grand Forks.
We have already done this
year about 100000 OF bust
ness. We now have a contract
at Moosejaw, ASA, Can, for
the erection OF a power house
and a city hall to cost $50, 400.
We will begin work on this build
ing on the 23d OF August, 1904,
and expect to have it completed
on December 81, 1904. We will
work a force Of about one hun
dred men on this building until
completed.
We have to-day finished the
jail and sheriff's residence for
Ward county.
The school house at kenmare,
y. d., is nearly completed, and is
one of the best school buildings
in the state without a question.
We will go a little further with
Kenmare and say it is one OF the
most prosperous little towns in
the western part ofthe state, and
has the incest lot OF people any
one could possibly do business
with. We are speaking OF the
school board and the citizens in
general. Anyone wanting con-
tracting work done, we will be
more than glad to refer them to
the county commissioners Of
Ward county, the school board
Of Kenmare, or anyone else that
we have ever done business for.

Condition OF Late Wheat.

L. Moe made an investigation of the
damage done by the rust on the late
wheat and says that the damage is a
good deal worse than was at first antici-
pated. Fields which should be turning
natural brown. are growing copper
colored with the rust. The grain is now
filling well and wheat which promised
25 bushels to the acre will in many in
stances. only make II and ID. The far
mers need not be discouraged at all, for
their oats. barley, speltz and early grains
are all in fine condition.

the head by falling berth in sleeper
on the G. n. in this city Friday night

taken to the county hospital where she

HOT POLITICS IN POLK
j. S. Cooper, of independence, Says
Candidates Are Hard at Work.

j. s. Cooper, Mayor of Independence,
and Polk County's probable Repre-
sentative in the next Legislature, has
been in Portland for the past few days,
and will leave for home tomorrow
morning. Mr.. Cooper is an authority
on Polk County politics, having lived
in Independence for many years.
Rumors from up the Valley say
that, while Mr.. Cooper is not an
avowed candidate for the Legislature,
he would not be averse to representing
Polk in Salem next Winter, and would
not decline the nomination if it were
offered. He has considerable strength
in his part of the state, and stands a
good chance of being selected for the
ticket.
politics are very active up my
way" said Mr.. Cooper, Especially in
the Congressional race. Both Her.
mann and Harris have emissaries in
the field who are doing their utmost
for their hackers. Polk has nine dele
gates in the convention, and those are
worth looking out for. The primaries
will be held on the 7th, and the county
convention two days later, and then's
when the fun will commence. Port

High Pressure Days.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to
hold their own nowadays. Never
were the demands of business, the
wants Of the family, the requirements
OF society, more numerous. The first
effect of the praiseworthy effort to keep
up with all these things is commonly
seen in a weakened or debilitated con
dition Of the nervous system, which
results in dyspepsia, defective nutri-
ton of both body and brain, and in
extreme cases in complete nervous
prostration. 1t is clearly seen that
what is needed is what will sustain
the system, give vigor and tone to the
nerves, and keep the digestive and
assimilative functions healthy and
active. From personl knowledge, we
can recommend Hoods Sarsaparilla
for this purpose. 1t acts on all the
vital organs, builds up the whole sys-
tenn, and fits men and women for these
high-pressure days.

Progress.

A young lady refused to marry
most devoted lover, until he had
amassed a fortune of $4,000. After
some expostulation he accepted the
decree and went to work. About three
months after this, the avaricious young
lady meeting her lover, asked;
well, Charley, how are you getting
along?'
"0h, very we'll indeed Charley re-
turned cheerfully. "I'ye eighteen
dollars saved
The young lady blushed, and looked
down at the toes OF her walking boots,
and stabbed the inoffensive earth with
the point Of her parasol. II guess,
she said faintly-'T guess, Charley,
that's about near enough. "-Philadel-
phia Ledger.

LOWER THAN LAST YEAR
MOhair Market viii Probably Open
In NeighbOrhOOd of 33 Cents
for Good Grades.

We have not received any report as
yet of sales Of mohair in Oregon. A
large share Of the clip of the state is
going into pools and buyers naturally
do not wish to make any definite state
ments as to prices until the auction
sales Of these pools commence. Port
land buyers say that Eastern quota
tions would at present justify only
about 80 cents for good Oregon mohair,
but as to what will be paid they are
noncommittal beyond emphatic pre-
dictions that the price will not be so
high in Oregon as last year. Most of
the pools will be sold in the next two
weeks. AS stated before one can only
guess at the probable price, but
averaging up statementso of buyers and
growers would give about SO cents as
the probable price for the Dallas pool.
1t may easily vary from this two or
three cents. Reports from California,
New Mexico and Texas show that half
year growths of mohair are being sold
at from 20 to 80 cents according to
quality and location, the highest
prices being in the Uvalde country in
Texas where there are many fine goats.
1t is said that the Sanford Mills are
sending notices to Angora men, ad-
vising them to hold back their spring
clips for a while until stocks in the
East are reduced. 1t is believed that
the Sanford Mills have stocked up
heavily with Turkish hair in the past
few months, owing to the com
paratively low price at which it could
be obtained.-Rura Northwest.

ONTO THE ROPES
Miss McMunn's Graphic Description
of How The Votes Are Won
by Candidates.

Now that the political pot is boiling,
the wife's coffee pot grows cold while
her liege lord talks of election. Just
a common son of Adam is an i'm
portant parsonage now, for it doesn't
matter how much hayseed adheres to
his hair, his favor is much courted.
See those fine gentlemen around him?
They have never seen him before, but
they have grown suddenly fond of
him, and have brought him some good
cigars and a snake bite remedy. All!
the farmer is bitter already, for, see,
he wipes his mouth with the back of
his hand.
They ask about the farmers family,
being careful to call the old maid the
girl and the kid the ''young lady"
and at the house they have asked the
tottering mother if her father" is in.
The farmer is plowing and his hands
are very muddy, but they joyously
grasp his horny fist and one man
plows while the other entertains the
farmer. The plowman makes a crook
ed furrow, but he praises the soil, so
the farmer is pleased. The men see
the family COW that yielded up her
lacteal fluid to Noah but they exclaim,
What fine young cow" and they
are sure that the rooster with but one
tail feather must be an imported fowl.
They do not care if there is no roast
for dinner, for they are very fond of
bacon-especially such fine bacon as
is set before them. They have never
seen such fine pieced quilts as the wife
makes, and the husband allows them
to peep at his 'seed" potatoes which
are pronounced Every fine indeed,
They admire the daughters sofa
cushions and listen entranced while
the kid sings "Yankee Doodle"
When they are gone the farmer takes
two cards from his overalls pocket
and spells out the names with his fore
finger and tells the daughter to put
them away in the upper bureau drawer
until election day. After the farmer
has gone to bed, the daughter blush
ingly takes the cards and writes
"Missus" before each name and won
ders which card belongs to which
man. She hopes that the pretty name
belongs to the slender, dark eyed one
but then she remembers that it was
the blonde one who had gold in his
front tooth, and such sweet perfumery
on his handkerchief. Miss Ella
