PROGRESSIVE PORTAL
On the 500 Line Invites Others to
Join Them in Their Progress to
Make CITY on the Border.

Portal N. D. One of the representatives
of the 1NDEPN DENT made short visit in
this progressive town and met quite a
number of citizens and discussed the
progress, needs and further prospects of
this part of Ward county. Every line
of business is money making PROPOSE
ton. If the crop prospects natures &C.
cording to present out look the farmers
in this part of the State will be the

is represented here tho none are over
done. Everything that is required to
make a good citizen, moral being, an
educational life, religious happiness,
social refinement, and an educational

machine shop, book store, a music
store, a jewelry store, wagon yard to
accommodate farmers coming from dis

a butter factory, a planning mill. flour
mill, and many other undertakings.
1t should be remembered that Portal
draws trade from 100 miles west as we'll
as long distance in Canada and 30
miles east and south. We give list of a
few of the many who mentioned their
success as follows: Mr.. w. M. Brown

and hotel business. They have just re-
fitted the Murphy building and will
occupy it at once. James A. Boylan

farmer as the crowd of agricul-

a little table; Eyes sir, we do
things Oh a rather sizeable scale.
I've seen a man on one OF our
farms start out in the spring
and pillow a furrow until autumn.
Then he turned around and har-
vested back. We have some big
farms up there. A friend OF
mine owned one which he had to
give a mortgage on, and l pledge
you my word the mortgage was
due at one end before it could be
recorded at the other. You see,
it was laid out in counties. And
the worst OF it is, it breaks up
families SO. Two years ago |
saw a whole family FRUSTRATED

teams and he was going around

MANUFACTURE OF ANTIQUES.
Flourishing Industry, Archaeologist
Says, in Wisconsin,.

"The manufacture of imitation an
tiques, especially in the form of copper
and flint implements, is quite promi-
nent industry in Wisconsin, in spite of
the fact that it is forced to flourish
secretly, and that the Wisconsin
Archaeological Society is doing all in
it's power to put an end to these
frauds" according to II. J. Crosby,
president of the State Archaeologists.
1--WE have been able to locate q num-
Der of men throughout the state who
have made q business of manufacture
ing these limitations, and we have re-
Gently secured the promise Of one of
the men in the interior part of the state
that he will go out of the business.
"a blacksmith is almost always at
the bottom of the fraud, although he
may not be the originator of the
plan, and may even be an inno-
cent accomplish. He hammers out
the copper implements at his forge,
and then they are treated with
chemicals or buried in a river bed
to give them the appearance of age.
Then they are buried, and after little
it becomes necessary to pillow up the
field where they are hidden, and the
manufacturer hires q man to do the
blowing and incidentally to find the
recently manufactured antiquities.

the Society require the name of the

Ancient Implements by Wholesale.
lone man in Wisconsin has done
an extensive business, and the large
number of the same kind of implements
found by him aroused our suspicious.
The majority of them get in too much
of hurry and do not wait for the
chemicals to work properly, and this
gives them away. Mistakes are also
made by the men who make antiquities
out of fiint-as a rule they have no
scientific knowledge, and they pound
the flint into shapes never dreamed of
by the Indians.
"The great objection to these imi-
tations is that they get into really fine
collections. Perhaps the collector buys
them knowing they are fine limitations,
but when he dies, unless his cabi-
net is labeled. the limitations are sold
as genuine, and 1t is important for
scientific investigation that this should
be avoided. A new law, Just enacted. |

Reflections of a Bachelor.

From the New York Press.
Sometimes man is so smart that
he can save money even If he is mar
ried.
Family life is nearly always con-
tented when the family is asleep.
All old maids know how to teach
mothers how to raise their children
and young wives how to manage their
husbands.
Saving money is lot Of fun for
your heirs.
You can tell when a girl Is not en-
gagged by the way she pretends to be,
and when a man is married by the
way he pretends not to be.
A woman's idea of fortune tellers
is to keep on going to them until she
strikes one that she just knows tells
her the truth because it Is what she
wants to hear.
A man has more principle, but q
woman more conscience.

1902, Commander Peary, the Arctic ex-
plored, brought to the park small calf
which he had captured in northeast
Greenland. This little one, however,
died within three weeks after its ar
rival in the United States. But this
country can console itself that this side
of the globe possesses the only musk
oxen that are at present living in a
wild state. Every attempt abroad has
been failure to rear this strange ami
NAL in captivity, and at the present
time probably the total number so liv-
ing may be counted on the fingers of
one hand. A number of the animals
have been captured but they do not
seem to survive the fluctuating tenn
peratures to which they are not ac-
customed.

admiral Togo q Lobster.

The story is told of Baron Komura
that he evidently made a slip of his
tongue when he spoke at a dinner a
short time ago in calling Admiral Togo
a lobster. Now to an American a lob
ster is very far from being a friendly
name to call such a hero as Togo has
proved to be. This was called to the
Baron's attention when the statement

The desire to capture some specimens
of musk oxen and bring them to the
United States is of long standing, but
all efforts in that direction have failed
until the arrival of the one brought by
Captain Bodfish in 1901. While the
habitat of the musk OK is so inacces-
sible as to make it's capture one Of
great difficulty, yet the greatest OBJ
stacle was the opposition of the In
