Let US not say Eau revoir," but good
by" to Ban Johnson.
He is out OF the Washington Baseball
Club, according to a statement given
out this morning by one of the princi-
pal stockholders. and now that he is
out of the way The city may expect to
have some luck While he had any,
thing to do with the club it was worse
than having a cross-eyed Swede with
a harelip around the place.
Ali Owned Here.
In other words. the American League
holdings in the club have been sold
to Washington men, and the stock Is
now all owned by bona fide residents of
this city.
What is more. Thomas c. Moves. pres
ident of the club, this morning gave as
surance that the sale on Saturday was
no sell" as was that OF last year,
when il was joyously announced that
capitalists had bought all the stock.
only 10 have it appear later that the
baneful Ban still retained full control
OF everything in sight.
There is now group OF seven or
eight men who own the majority of the
stock, and no one man among them has
enough to be able TO dictate the man
agement of affairs.
Whether or mot this is q desirable
condition remains to be seen. as the
most successful clubs nave been those
whose fate depended entirely upon the
viii of one or two expert proprietors.
Besides these heavy holders there are
number of persons in Washington
who have from 500 to $3.50 worth of
stock 1t is said that these minority
men will receive more consideration in
the future than they have in the past,
and viii be urged to do what they can
for the team.
Submit to Assessment
Practically every stockhoIder has
signed an agreement to submit to an
! assessment in order TO raise money for
| the immediate needs of the club. The
| principal debt outstanding IS to the
American League, but when the assess
ments are collected this debt Will be
paid in full and the Washington fran
| chise Will be as untrammeled and free
| from league interference as that in any

A Dasardly Deed.

Jacob Nitschke, farmer who
resides five miles north of this place
has been the victim to as dastardly
trick as was ever committed in a
seemingly civilized community.
During the past three days he has
seen five Of his best horses die and
their death has been pronounced
by veterinarian as due to poison
ing, the deed evidently being the
work of an enemy. The indignity
against civilization by such an act
is past description, and the COM
militant is lower than the worst of
heathens. Mr.. Nitschke has the
sympathy Of the community in his
loss, and there is little doubt that
material aid in finding the culprit
will be rendered him if clue can
be found to trace it by. A Acolt also
got some Of the poison, but timely
treatment has saved and it will re-
ver.-Goodrich Citizen.

The Garrison Times.

A lot was sold this week for the
fifth general store in Garrison. 1t
is reported that it is to be a large
one.
The Taylor-Baldwin Co. have re-
moved from the old to the large
new store, which will make it cas-
ier for them to handle their large
volume of business.
At the electionW ednesday,it was
decided by a unanimous vote to
erect a temporary school house in
Garrison. The building is to be
put up as soon as possible.
1t is now thought that it would
be good plan when we incorpo-
rate to take in enough territory to
include Minot as suburb, and
save the expense and trouble Of en-
larging in few years.
Atty. Stafne, of Wahpeton, took
in the sights Of our town and sur
rounding country the past week
with a view to locating here for the
practice of law, and also to engage
in the land business.

The ferry at Mannhaven is under
the water as the result Of being
overloaded while transporting a
consignment Of fruit trees across
the river. It seems that the cargo
was placed too much on one side,
which caused the boat to list and
fill with water. This mishap is
causing considerable inconvenience
to travellers, who are at the pres
ent compelled to go by the way Of
Washburn in order to cross the

Hawkeye feed yards, but the price
paid was low. The cattle market
seems to be very much on the to-
boggan slide at present. If the
beef trust don't do something for
the producers pretty soon, within
few years, we will see a cattle
shortage and then look out for high
prices.

This Office was in receipt last
week of a circular issued by a Press
Association formed by a combine
of several Of the large patent med
icine concerns of the country. The
Press Association formed resem-
bles that formed by the railroads
to combat the rate legislation in
which the press was flooded with
letters and circulars sent out
to the press Of the Northwest.
The medicine firms have taken
these same steps in order to offset
some Of the, adverse newspaper
talk. In North Dakota, the pure
food and drug law will look after
the patent medicines that are sold
in this state, and if the medicine
companies want to do business in
North Dakota, they must comply
with the requirements Of the law,
and no Press Association will ever
be able to geta proprietary medi-
cine admitted otherwise. Eastern
states are taking of their hats
to North Dakota in respect to the
pure food laws and Prof. Ladd, who
has done such noble work in the
enforcement Of the same is entitled
to all the credit.

Closes Trip at Minot.
A Noted Newspaper Man Travels
in Lab0rer's Guise and Goes
into Harvest Fields.
w. B. Eastwood, of Toledo, c

w. B. Eastwood, of Toledo, o.,
I, newspaper man who has been
working through the great wheat
belt in the guise Of a harvest hand
is at the Hotel Dakota for few
days. Mr.. Eastwood spent four
months in the fields of Kansas, Ne
braska and the Dakotas, bringing
his trip to a close at Minot.
During his trip, Mr.. Eastwood
has depended entirely upon his
earnings as a laborer to carry him
through, having pledged himself to
accept no assistance not accorded
men among whom he worked. All
his material and photographs have
been accumulated without disclos-
ing his Identity.
Among the questions which Mr..
Eastwood has endeavored to solve
are:-"Does it pay a student to
spend his vacation in the western
harvest felds?" "Does the eastern
farmer boy benefit financially by
working through the wheat belt
during the harvest?" "Can an Office
man leave his desk in the city and
take up successfully the strenuous
life of the harvest feld?" "Who are
the people who labor to supply the
world with it's daily bread?' and
various other questions touching
the sociological and financial con-
sditions of the wheat belt. Mr.
Eastwood's views CLEANED by his
experience will be given to the
public through the papers during
the coming months.
Speaking Of North Dakota, Mr..
Eastwood says
"This state is better than gold
field. Nowhere in the belt is small
grain being raised with such profit
as the northern part of North Da-
kota. I have helped thresh some
crop this year not far from Minot,
that have more than paid for the
the whole farm on which they were
raised. Acclaim here is better than
a Klondike gold mine.'"
Mr.. Eastwood will leave for To
ledo in a few days where he will
prepare his stories for publication,

He Made a Hit.

When President Roosevelt was
returning last May from his trip
out west, he passed through Woos-
ter, Ohio. The public schools we're
dismissed so the children could
have a chance to see the President
and later, in some Of the grades,
the pupils we're asked to write a
descriptions Of the events Of the day.
The composition Of one Of the
youngsters, Dominic Lucci, nine
years old, came into the possession
of Robert b. Esterly, the assistant
manager of the Northwestern Ma
tional Life Insurance Co., Of Min
neapolis, and he forwarded it to the
President, who wrote him as fol-
lows
Oyster Bay, NY, Sept. 6, 'O5.
My Dear Mr.. Esterly:-Not many
of the letters that come in my mail
amuse me as much as the enclosure
contained in yours. 1 am really
obliged to you for sending it to me.
Good for Dominic Lucci.
Sincerely yours,
-THEODoRE ROOSEVELT.
The composition that pleased Mr..
Roosevelt was as follows:-
There was Presidential went
throu on a train he was white man
he was a soldier, his name was Pres.
Roosevelt he was out on the Rocky
Mts shooting all the animals on the
Rocky mountings. He was in Chi
cago to strike the teamsters six men
was killed and some injured. The
President has to see about such
things. The President is strong
when he was little boy he was
week, once he ruined out west and
was a ruff rider. Finely he was
tanned down and got up as wise
pres. It was 9 o'clock when the
pashenger came a past when Teddy
went thru he laf and show his teef
they was white and shinnie he look
Just like the pitcher in the paper.
He was standin on the tale end OF
the car was washed up in gold SO
he would look nice. He had his
specks on his face and he look Just
the same. The kids was glade
when the Pres. was a coming to
Wooster, 0. The pres. is a good
man and the people was crowd
they wave and holer when Teddy
come thru The President had his
handchieff wavin and latin Their
was 4 care full of Secretaries, the
butler Of the car was colored man.
The Pres. will not get of in Woos-
ter, O. he will get off in Washing
ton, when he will go to his Office
when Mr.. Roos would want to work
on when he would want vacashun
he would have one. The Pres. like
the children, he has lots of boys in
his house, one of them is girl.
this is all
