VOLUME TWENTY-ONE.

The issue of the CoURIER-DEhocRAT
for the present week forms the initial
number of Volume Xxi and marks the
completion of the twentieth year since
the publication of the first copy OF the
Cavalier Co. Courier, the first paper
printed in the county and which appear
in August, 1885. Three years later, IN
1888, to which time the growth of Lang
don dates back, the Langdon Democrat
made its first appearance and the con-
solidatlon of the two papers was effected
by the founder of the Democrat and pre-
sent owner of the CoURIER-DEMoCRAT IN
1891. What was merely a scattered
frontier town twenty years ago is to-day
A prosperous and well-to-do community
of over 1900 population. To-day both
Langdon and the neighborhood tribu-
tary is the home of many old pioneers
who will realize more readily than the
newer corners what strides in growth
and development our town and county
has made, and to these more particular,
the CoURIER-DEMoCRAT would extend
its greetings and we'll wishes on the
twenty-tirst anniversary of its debut as
a Cavalier county newspaper.

Few residents realize what a boom is
IN progress over the state at the present
time. With the building of the 500 ex.
tensions and branches on the Northern
Pacific, Great Northern and Farmers
railroads, fully fifty new towns will
spring up in North Dakota this fall. At
each of these towns there will be seve-
raj elevators, all kinds of stores, at
least two banks, a newspaper. Hun.
dreds of people from all over the state
will remove to these new towns and
thousands from without the state will
locate in them. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars in capital will be invested in
the new enterprises and prosperity will
abound where these new towns spring
up. This confidence in the possibilities
Of North Dakota on the part of the rail-
roads, elevator companies, capitalists
and business men should make us re-
allze more fully what a splendid state is
this in which we reside.

The sales of state lands will be held
again this fall, although possibly not
earlier than the later part of November
in this county. The public lands of the
state, held in trust for the schools and
state institutions constitute a magniti-
cent estate. These lands are sold at
auction, many tracts being disposed of
every year. The bidding, however, is
but one phase Of the matter, and, as the
sales run, generally not the most impor-
tant. In the past the greater number
of tracts have been sold at their ap-
praised value, there being no competitive
bidding. School lands may not be sold
for less than ton dollars per acre.
For lands in the newer sections OF the
state this is ample. But the state holds
many thousand acres in the best settled
and most fertile counties where the
valuation must be much higher than
this. Generally speaking, good lands in
the older and better settled counties
should be appraised at not less than sl5
per acre. County commissioners who
aid in the appraisal have an important
duty to perform in this respect.

THE month of August, 1905, is the

The month of August, 1905, is the
most important and interesting of many
past and future years in Its eclipses.
There will be a partial eclipse of the
moon on the evening of August l4th.
1t will be visible in Cavalier county for
two hours, from $50 until 1880 o'clock.
1t is seldom that so good an opportunity
to view the wonders of an eclipse can be
had. The eclipse of the moon is caused
by the earth coming between the sun
and moon and casting its shadow on the
satellite. Should the evening be clear
all should watch for this eclipse. But
the most important eclipse of the month
is not of the moon, but a total eclipse of
the sun on the morning of August 3Oth.
This eclipse will be of great interest
throughout the civilized world. Many
expeditions from the leading universities
and obServatories are now on the route,
or being formed to go to the places
where this eclipse can be seen in its en-
tirely. There are only three points on
the earth's surface where the total solar
eclipse can be we'll viewed. These points
are in Labrador, Spain and Egypt.
However. though the eclipse will not
be total here. it will yet give a magniti-
cent view. In this state the sun will be
in eclipse when it rises and continue un-
til about $40.

In less than three weeks we will know
what the harvest will be and the present
outlook is that we will have better than
a good average crop. While most fields
of wheat show a nice stand, we have but
little very heavy, rank grain, and there,
fore will'not be as liable to have rust as
where the straw is very heavy. Then
again, wheat is heading out short, and
the heads are exceptionally long and il
they fill properly it will be a good crop
Flax and other grains are looking well
and take it all in all this section of the
