FAILED TO COMPLY.

Fargo Call: The register and the
receiver of the Fargo land Office
rendered a decision September 18th,
in a case in which the question OF
special privileges to government en-
ployes came up.
Harold Will0ughby took up home
stead in Stutsman county about five
years ago and for a while he culti-
va:ed the soil. Later he successfully
passed an examination in the civil
service and received the position OF
railway postal clerk. Since receiv-
ing the appointment he has neglected
the claim. At the time for proving
up he appeared to make his last
proof. The special officer. who in
vestigated the case discovered that
the claim had not received the
proper amount of attention and so
reported at the first hearing before
the Judge in Stutsman county.
The case was heard by the register
and the receiver of the local Office on
September 9Th. The case was decid-
ed against Willoughby and the entry
is held for cancellation.

HOLD YOUR OWN GRAIN.

The Medina Citizen in speaking of
the ''hold-your- -wheat-crank' offers
the following sensible advice: Gre
garding this matter we would say to
our farm .rs, DO not hold wheat that
belongs to your merchant or your
banker. If you hold any grain hold
your own and remember that your
gain is not your own as long as you
owe any debts that are due or past
due, and do not lose sight Of the fact
that 81 per bushel is good price for
wheat"

PHILIP GROSS GOOD CROPS.
Medina Citizen: While this article
is not intended to boom this country,
much less to boom any one farm,
we cannot however. refrain from
making special mention of Philip
Gross, one of our leading farmers,
for the simple reason that both him.
self and his crop are deserving of the
same. Mr.. Gross came here in the
spring of 1898 and settled on govern
ment homestead five miles northeast
from Medina. The first year he put
under cultivation about one half Of
his homestead, in 1900 he bought
from the Northern Pacific railroad
company 4sO acres Of land at a price
that was so ridiculously low we won't
mention it. He began breaking up
this land and has continued the
samc each year until he has in crop
this year about $50 acres, POO acres OF
which are wheat, which is now being
threshed and is yielding lite over
80 bushels per acre; this wheat is
worth today sl.lO per bushel OF SC, coo
for the entire crop. Mr.. Gross has
in addition. about 80 acres of flax and
70 acres of oats and speItz. The flax
will yield II bushels per acre and
would bring at sl.l5, total of 81, l04.
A part of the oats have been threshed
and yielded 100 bushels per acre.
Placing the yield of the 10 acres Of
oats and speltz com bined at IS bushels
per acre, which is allow estimate.
these two crops would bring il sold
today. at least 80 cents per bushel
or 81, ,575 for the oats and speltz or a
total of s9,279 for the grain which
Mr.. Gross raised this year on his $50
acres of cheap land.
John Leichr of Medina had his
grain threshe! the first OF the week,
he realized 80 bushels of rye from 6
acres and 1872 bushels OF barley from

from 10 acres. This is not so worse.

The rainfall here last Friday was
the heaviest in years. The dam
age to bottom land in many places
has been great, to say nothing of
the loss occasioned by the wash
ing away of fences, water-gates,
etc.
The Norman White farm, north
of town, is said to have been dam
aged fully $1,000, while many
farmers lost from 1000 to 5000
rails. 1t is reported that the dam
age on East Fork is greater than
that occasioned by the freshet in
1892. At Sawyer's Mill a number
of persons had to be carried from
their houses to prevent drowning.
Returning from Graniteville Fri
day afternoon managed to cross
the ford near Mrs. McColl's, at
which place Assessor Peck was
drowned several years ago; but
when | reached the ford near Mr..
Fitzpatrick's, | found it to be alb
solutely out Of the question for one
to cross the creek before the next
morning. Hence | gladly ac-
cepted an invitation from Mr.. and
Mrs. Fitzpatrick to stay over night
with them. Being cold and some
what wearied, it was such a relief
to sit by a good fire, after having
eaten an excellent supper, which
Mrs. F. knows just how to prepare.
Retiring at 1890 | slept soundly
till 6 o'clock next morning, when
Iawoke to find Gods blue canopy
once more unclOuded. What a
relief it was to my mind! After
breakfast | caught my horse, and
as the water had somewhat sub
sided, | crossed the creek and
arrived safely home at 1870. The
kind treatment received at the
hands of Mr.. and Mrs. Fitzpatrick
and family render them very dear,
indeed, to me. May they live long
and prosper!
