FLAX CROP FIGURES.
For Ward County For Season Of 1903 Civ
ing the Number Of Bushels Marketed
Grand Showing.

A little time before harvest it
was predicted that Ward county
would raise in the season OF 1903,
no less than 100000 bushels
of flax, besides much other grain.
In order to prove the correctness
or falacy o. the prediction above
mentioned, postal cards were
sent to all the towns on the Great
Northern and 500 railroads where
elevators were supposed to be,
and so far as heard from, the
reports go to show that the es-
innate was far below the real
figures.
The question asked of the ele-
vators were: How many bushels
Of fax have been shipped from
your station this year and what
is your estimate OF the amount
still in the hands Of the farmers.
To the last question the ma
jority have reported "about 10
per cent still in the hands OF the
farmers. From the elevators
heard from we have a totalnum-
Der OF bushels shipped l, 732, 900,
adding 10 per cent for what is
still in the hands of the farmers
for seed etc, andtwe have l, 749,-
800 bushels with several impor-
tant points to hearfrom.
Igive you below the number Of
bushels from the different points
just as they came to hand: !.

The Csulty Commissioners Designate This
Paper as Oae Of the County Official
Papers Will Enable rs to Easily
Double our Present List.

The County Commissioners OF
! Ward county designated the
Ward County Independent as
one Of the three official papers of
the county for the year 1904, at
their meeting last week. This
places the Independent at the
very foremost ranks of the news
papers of the county. This pa
per is not only the city official
paper Of the city OF Minot, but
the official paper OF the county.
This means a great deal to the
paper as an advertising medium.
While we are now circulating
more than 2OOO copies Of the pa
per weekly over the county, the
list will double during the pres
ent year. Evnryone wants to
read the county official paper.
We have made arrangements to
give the readers better news SER
vice than ever. The Independent
takes this means Of thanking the
commissioners for the favor
granted the paper. There was
not a dissenting vote regarding
the making Of this paper,legal.

Northern that no doubt got a
goodly number Of bushels from
Ward county swelling the grand
total to something near 2,OOO,-
600 bushels Of fax in Ward
county alone, and making her
the largest flax producingcounty
in the state.
These bushels reduced to dollars
would be something like 81 ,6OO,-
600 for one item Of Ward county
crops. This ought to settle the
question with the farmers, as to
whether Ward county is safe for
farming, and the money loaner,
as to whether it is safe to loan
money on lands here, and to the
home seeker, as to whether it is
better to buy cheap land here, or
go into a rough timber country
and spend the whole lifetime
cleaning a few acres.

After some time a native found him lying in the shadow of g great boulder, in a place difficult of ac- cess. When the native saw him he gave shout, partly to announce to the other searchers that the boy was found and also to awaken the boy, who seemed fast asleep The shout woke the boy suddenly, and seeing the na- tive's black eyes staring at him, as he afterward explained, he thought wild pig, many of which are found In the region. was about to attack him.
 To escape the boy climbed tall co. coanut tree, growing hundred yards away. As he did not respond or come down when called to, the native climb ed up after him, but was kept at bay by the boy with 12-inch knife. Fi-
