A forcible illustration of the
increasing value of North Dako.
ia land can be seen almost any
day at the local land office says
the Devils Lake Inter- Ocean.
Contests are now nearly as com.
mon as final proofs. A few
years ago, a claim could be fled
on, a shack built that was no
more available as q residence
than the costume of a Cuban
urchin would be available as
clothing in a North Dakota win
ter. He could dig a hole by the
side of a slough, and it answer
ed the purpose of a well. The
other improvements required
by law were made in the same
manner. The homesteader's con
tinuous residence upon the land
consisted of bi.yearly stay of
one night in his shack, and the
cooking and eating of a couple of
meals. He made final proof un-
der these conditions, and became
a valuable citizen of the state.
Not so now. The homesteader
must not only comply with the
spirit of the law but the letter as
well. A hundred eyes are upon
every improved claim and the
moment there is the least open
ing a contest is filed, and a legal
battle for the possession of the
claim is fought, the expenses of
which would have purchased
half q dozen quarters a few years
ago. The reason for this is that
the value of land in this state is
just beginning to be realized,
and q quarter now is worth a
strenuous fight to the man who
secures IL.

The COURIER comes out in q
larger form this week because
it was necessary in order to take
care of the increased advertising.
We are not going to claim that
it has long been recognized as
the best paper in Griggs county
because our subscription list
substantiates that point. We
have by far the largest circula-
ton and it is still growing. Our
subscription books are open to
advertisers and those who have
anything to get before the peo-
pie by the use of printers ink
should take into considera-
ton the fact that the more peo-
pie who read the paper the bet
ter results ale obtained. We
aim to print the news as we find
it, and it can truthfully be said
that no paper ever did more for
the advancement of Griggs
county than has the COURIER
and it will always be found do
ing what it can towards the up
building of our town and coun-
ty. The business men of our
town are liberal advertisers and
to them we owe our prosperity.
They too. have prospered by the
use of it's columns. May paper
and patrons continue to flourish.

land.

New York, March 26-There
are lot of folks out at Coopers-
town, N. D., who will be disap-
pointed when they hear about the
marriage ceremony that was
performed at Ellis Island today.
A middle aged German couple.
the innocent cause of disappoint
ment, protested just as vigor-
ously as they knew how that they
didn't want to marry now be-
cause invitations had been issued
for the event, which had been
planned for Cooperstown, but
the immigration officials were
obdurate. No marriage, no
landing was the ruling, and they
finally complied.
The bridegroom was a sturdy
farmer, who had lived in this
country for twenty-five years,
and owns a 100 acre farm at
Cooperstown. In his younger
days, before he came to this
country, he had courteda young
girl in his native country, but
during his absence she married
another.
Hearing that the HUSBAND had
died, he hurried back to Ger.
many two months ago, and won
the widow. The news of his
good fortune was cabled to his
farm in North Nakota. and plans
laid for a grand wedding on their
return. They came to this coun-
try on the Statendam. The de-
tention of the couple at Ellis Is.
land came as a surprise to them.
"Mien Gott," said the angry
far mer, 81 am dat so years older
and mein Maria was past 48,
Are we childer! Are we nein to
be trusted?"
Refusing civil marriage en-
tirely, compromisewas affected
and the couple were married by
a missionary and left the island
declaring they would get mar.
ried again at Cooperstown just
the same.

There is a faint prospect of
peace between Japan and Russia
although nothing is very definite
along these lines yet. Indica-
tions point to peace overtures
being made, however, and if the
Gar does not change his mind
too often and get too whimsical
in the matter of settlements the
deal may go through. There is
one .thing sure and that is if
Russia don't agree to peace it
it will get a sound thrashing
before they quit. Japan is too
much for Russia and the longer
peace is delayed the worst it
will be for her. A new era of
liberty is in sight for the Russian
people as a result of this
war.
