! ing some $4,000 worth which

| Many private citizens at Devils
Lake have been made Notary
Publics and as each one has an
assistant, there will be plenty to
make out the papers during the
rush for land which began last
Monday. Rowdies have been
driven out OF the city.
At least four cars Of Irvine will
be marketed at Velva this year
which shows that something is
doing in the grain line. In 1900
when the growth Of straw to the
acre was equal to the growth Of
! this, the consumption Of Irvine
was not more than one-tenth the
amount that will be used the pre-
sent season.-Journal.
Mrs. Good Road, the Mercer
County Indian woman being held
on a charge OF killing her hus-
band, having been assured that
she was in on danger OF imme-
date hanging, feltso much better
that she requested Sheriff WEIGH |
to allow her to work for a time
in the garden. The request was
granted and she was provided
with a hoe, with which she whiled
away a happy half day.
President Hill of Great North
ern road, objects to some of the
crop reports that have been sent
out, on the ground that they tend
to create a false idea of the con-
ditions, mostly of an exaggerated
nature, causing the farmers to
let go Of their grain before they
would otherwise, and at a much
smaller price than could be OBJ
tanned ii the grain were held until
there was a legitimate demand
for it.
Bismarck Settler: Bismarck has
become notorious Of late because
of the fragrant open violations Of
law by blind-piegers and boot
leggers. 1t is said Front street
from Third street west, any day
after supper, especially on Sun
days, would put to blush South I;
Clark street, Chicago, in it's
pa]miest day Of vice. Brazed
faced demimode f1aunt their col
ors in midday amid the drunken
orgies. Does Bismarck need a |
Grand Jury and a Joseph Folk?
