Morrison is quite we'll known about
here, he being in this vicinity one
year ago last January selling Stearn
Cookers He took several orders but
never delivered them. One was to be
delivered to me in payment for his
board, but it has not come. He also
told us that he had good deal of land
near Milestone. Canada, and 1 know

Thriving Trade Conditions Not
! withstanding the general hardness il
the arrival of the spring season ant
the almost universal prediction tina
trade conditions were of poor promise
Bismarck merchants in all lines are
enjoying a thriving trade. All las
| week, although weather conditions
were anything but favorable, ou1
merchants we're having large daily
sales. During the later part of the
present week the weather conditions
have been all that could be desired
and there has been corresponding
increase in the volume of trade The
excellent crop conditions that have
thus far prevailed, together with the
prospects for an abundance of grass
and hay, thus insuring profitable
season for our farmers and ranchmen
| are in measure responsible for the
general bouyancy in all lines Of
traffic; but the fact also remains thai
there are greatly improved conditions
locally among our producing classes
over those that obtained during the
pioneer days.
