A. L. Anderson, the hustling agent
for the Port Huron Threshing Machine

Machine.
A rumor that was current here

Mrs. Frank Collins. of .Bottineau,
visited with old friends here on Mon
day and Tuesday. Mrs. Collins was
warmly welcomed by all old acquain-
tances. She is the same genial, frank
gentlewoman as in the days when
Willow was her home. +
Quite a number of the boys from
here went to Omefnee to be initiated
into the mysteries of 1.-THE Fraternal
Order of Eagles on Friday night.
They all report good time and from
their looks the birds must have been
in gay mood.
What has States Attorney Bowen
not done that Boss Falkenstein has
ordered him to do that the News is
continually trying to find fault with
him7 Many of us here opposed Mr..
Bowen 8 election. but since his incum-
bency of the Office he has given satis-
faction in every way. From the idi
otic and contradictory things pub
lished from time to time in the News
one is led to believe that Editor
Michaeps estimate of the editor,
when he said "Falkenstein can look
! through key-hole with both eyes at

ally fact. In fact it was the true
measure of the man. And of such are
Bottineau county leaders and political
directors.
MI. Geo. Poague. one time candidate
for Governor of this state on the Social
ist ticket spent Saturday and Sunday
in town organizing lodge of Eagles.
He met with good success lodge of
25 having been organized. Mr.. Poa-
que says w. J. Bryan will be the
president OF the United States. That
he will be elected on platform con-
tanning all the essential doctrines of
Socialism but that tho most pro-
nounced plan will be the public own
ership of railroads, telephones, tele-
graphs, coal mines and other great in
dustries Geo. has always been some
what of prophet, but no one takes
him seriously. With all of his poll
tical gymnastics he has always been
found pushing something that had
for it's ultimate .residium the AL
mighty s. And there you are.
Lewis and Clark Exposition
It is noteworthy fact that the
Lewis and Clark Exposition is the first
wrolds' fair to be held west Of the
Rocky Mountains which has secured
the aid of the Government.
And it is also surprising what an
interest is manifested in the Exposit-
ion by the people Of the East. They
see in the Exposition an opportunity
to visit the Western country at a
