Mrs. j, NJ. Casey last Friday night
at the residence of MIR. Jos. Mann.
as she will soon take up her resi-,
dence in Minneapolis. An excel.
lent musical program vas rendered
anil enjoyed by all.
contractor A. Reed and crew put
the finishing touches on the Chas'
Sheldon residence this week and a
complete system of substantial gal
vanized eve troughs ere installed
by Thompson Bros. This year will
see the completion of many sub
stantial homes and barns, and the
idea of North Dakota as a tempo
rary home is now but a dream.
Good water and plenty of it. is
now supplied the Louie Peterson

is better that ever prepared by his
ample, high fenced yards to handle
his trade in the most safe and sat-
isfactory manner.
John Beck spent partof the week
in town getting supplies prepare
tory to opening a dipping tank.
Messrs. Beck, Fisher and other
ranchmen of their neighborhood
have dubbed together and have
built a private dip. Mr.. Beck is
of the opinion that the salvation of
the stockmen lies in fall feeding,
and reasons that every stockman
should raise enough corn and fod-
der to feed what he intends mar
keting until along in December.
Karl B1dk1A back from a trir
to the Worlds Fair and through
Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota
He reports crop prospects as mix
south of us, black rust having done
an awful damage, and that there
will be many thousand acres that
will never be cut, some fields that
promised from twenty to thirty
bushels threshing out five or seven
bushels that weigh about forty
pounds. Conditions are serious,
and all kinds of business will suffer
and a great many farmers will be
hard pressed.
The Mclean county exhibit for
the Minnesota State Fair was sent
out Thursday and it was a sight to
behold, somthing convincing for
the sceptical. and we predict that
there will be but few localities that
will outclass Mclean county. The
exhibit will be a general one, con-
sisting of all varieties of grams and
garden truck. Our people responded
literally to the requests Of the COM
mittee wko had the gathering of
the exhibit in charge and the ex-
hibit shows good persistent work.
Apple, currants, gooseberries and
all kinds of wild fruit and grasses
are among the exhibit.
The "devil" being in the left as

he was much astounded to learn
from a gentleman with an eye for
Photographic beauty and accuracy
that two large fish, each weighing
over forty pounds, were taken from
the Missouri river by two Of our
piscatorial experts. The story not
having shrunk any, we are glad to
report that Fl. II. Rohrer is respon-
sible for the capture Of what John
Rathjen pronounces to be a large
sterling and Joseph Willets fol
an immense sturgeon. As these
two species are considered Of high
food value, it is h good example OF
the governments contention that
inland waters will sometime pro.
duce fish Of commercial value. But

How the winter Vacation Idea May
Be Turned About to Good Effect

The pedulum of travel swings both
ways. even in winter. At this season,
when thousands of city people are be.
ginning to harbor vague thoughts Of
next summers outing, many Of the eoun-
try folk, whose duty it viii he To en-
terrain them at that happy period, find
ing d little more leisure at their disposal
than they enjoyed last August, are
thinking wistfully of the big city and
it's attractions. This same feeling comes
also to the dweIIers in the smaller cities
and large towns liz New England, where
life in winter is apt to be somewhat
monotonous; and SO it happens that
many Of these good people, too busy or
Indifferent in summer to make the jour-
ney, HE them to the metropolis TO reyel
IN its gaities for few DAYS.
1t is only another proof of the spirit
81 unrest that besets humanity; for even
while these country cousins are on their
way to the city for their winter vaca-
ton, scores Of city residents are en-
route 10 various sections Of New Eng
land for the purpose OF enjoying a WIN
ter vacation IN the country.
In many respects the winter season
Il BY far the best time 10 visit city
like Boston, for it is hither that many
lof these pilgrims from up country are
coming, whether it be merely 0 have
"a good time" or to study the institu-
tons Of the place.
To a large extent, 81 course, ones
time must be spent under cover, for this

sions through the parks Or down the

principal retail establishments are to

and Temple place.
Many Of the local public buildings
and places Of historic interest can be
seen 70 even better advantage Just now
than in the languid summer time. At
the State House, for instance, with it's
notable flag collection and fine
paintings, the legislature il in session,
and no one would want 10 miss the
chance to see Massachusetts, law makers

to visit the Public Library, with its

SALT WATER FOR FIRES
Pressure on Mains Is Raised to 100
Pounds, .
Army and Navy Journal.

Army ana navy journal.
The fact may not be generally known
that the New York navy yard has a
thoro equipment Of saltwater mains for
fighting fire. The proportion Of salt
water to fresh or city water mains is
about two to one; or, to put. it in an
other way, the saltwater mains IN the
yard comprise about 5two-thirds. Of the
total. In every building there is fresh
water, with hose connections, and an
additional supply Of the latter for out
are two hosecarts, which can be run
to any part of the yard in few in
utes time, in case the. hose in the build
ings where a possible fire might break
out should prove insufficient to meet
the needs Of the occasion. The navy
yard, however, does not depend upon
it's own system wholly, and when fire
does occur, the city fire department is
called up as we'll as the bluejackets and
marines on duty. There are four cleo
trio pumps in the powerhouse, ,whhiicc b
maintain a constant pressure of fifty
pounds on the saltwater mains, but
which is slightly diminished when it
reaches the hydrant. This pressure can
be raised to 100 pounds, and with such
a force as this, a stream Of water can
be thrown over any building in the
yard. .,-.- -.
