A man in Missouri wrote 49,.
600 words on a postal card ad.
dressed to a friend in a village in
that state. 1t is said that it took
the postmaster all day to dis.
tribute the mail the day that
postal card came.
John Ross, OF Granville, has de.
cided to build a livery barn in
Glenburn and will build soon.
He intends to build back of the
Lincoln State bank but before he
builds he will endeavor to locate
a we'll, which if he should be un-
able to find there may induce him
to build atsome other place. The
building will be 46x96 feet.-Ad-
vance.
At a cost Of about 81, 500 five
dipping tanks will reconstructed
in McHenry county, the county
commissioners taking this action
at their meeting last week. One
will be at Velva, one on f. +.
Barnes place on Cut bank, one
near Towner, one near BalfOur
and one near Willow Creek. Ten
cents per head will be charged for
dip ping stock. which will about
pay for the operation >of the
tanks.-Granville Record.
Prof. Kaufman, the state dairy
commissioner, fears that the
creamery business is in danger OF
being overdone in North Dakota.
Noting the numerous creameries
being built he says it will be
necessary to have the milk or
cream from four hundred COWS
to make the creamery a success,
and he fears as the number OF
creameries is increasing the sup
ply OF COWS for some of them will
fall ort.-Bottineau News.
After all we are no worse in
North Dakota than are our
brethren in Minnesota. 1t is re-
ported that in a Smelling blind
pig case at St. Paul the contents
Of twenty-four bottles of beer
seized by the deputy sheriff and
held as evidence against the ac-
cused, were entirely consumed by
the jurymen who under the Min
nesota law, have a right to taste
samples Of exhibits OF this ma
ture. Having exhausted the evil
dence the Judge found he had no
power to act.
Testing Briquettes = Interest
ing tests of briquettes madefr
Wilton coal with a new binder
are being made in the city by Ed.
Hughes. The briquettes burn
like anthracite, retaining their
shape until completely consumed
and burning with an intense and
steady heat. Many persons in
the city watched an experiment
being made this morning at Hare
& French's store. There is no
question but the briquette is the
coming fuel if they can be manu-
featured and sold at afairp price
Bismarck Tribune.
The Minneapolis j Journal makes
this sane observation: The North
Dakota pure food law has much
to commend it. For instance, it
requires that semi-annually the
food commissioner shall publish
in two papers in each county in
the state a list of the adulterated
foods that have come under his
official notice. These publica-
tions are paid for by the state,
and the direct effect is to inform
the public and insure the support
OF the state press for the law. Ii
all the states had similar stat
utes, the men who get rich by
food adulteration would soon be
looking for something else to do.
! c. H. Parker, who was one OF
the good shots" at the shoot
ing tournament, is one OF the
youngest hotel men in the state,
and also one OF the Oldest. He
is a young man, but he has been
in the hotel business most of his
life. For over twenty years past
he has been a familiar figure in
the hotel Office to travelling men
visiting North Dakota, and for
the past ten or a dozen years has
been the proprietor OF the Leland
hotel at Minot, which until the
Dacotah was remodeled recently
was the largest hotelin the state,
