FARGO GETS NO SHARE.

Penalties and Interest on Delinquent
Taxes Go to the Counties.
Fargo gets no share of the penalties
and interest money on delinquent tax
es. A clause in the new municipal bill
provided that the counties should turn
over to the cities share, but County
Treasurer Mayo declined to do so,
claiming that provision was unconsti-
tutional. The supreme court upheld
this.

WAR ON pANpELloNs.

Grand Forks sklds" Get Z Cant q
Cent a Pound for All They Bring In.
Last Tuesday was dandelion day In
Grand Forks and between and s
o'clock Hundreds Of children wendell
their way to the weighing station,
where Mayor Duis stood ready to-
award the prizes and certify to the
amount Of compensation each boy or
girl was entitled to.
Some time ago the Commercial club
started a war on the little yellow flow.
er which some regard with sentiment
al interest, but which the cold utilita.
rian looks upon as nuisance. The
sum of $50 was set aside by the club
to be awarded to the children who as
sisted in Kidding the lawns and vacant
lots of the city of the dandelion pest.
A prize Of IS was offered to the child
bringing in the greatest quantity, 81
to the one having the second largest,
and 81 each to the four having the
next greatest accumulation. In order
that all might be compensated for the
work they were doing in identifying
the city, cent pound was to be paid
for all of the plants turned in, in addi-
tton to the prizes.
With visions of Fourth of July
spending money in their minds, the
kids" turned themselves loose in
force, and the person who now can
find little yellow-haired dandelion in
Grand Forks will be entitled to re.
ward
The little workers came 20 the
weighing place loaded down with bas-
kets, bundles, bags and every variety
OF receptacle. Some had gathered such
great quantities that a vehicle was
necessary to bring them in. Foresee-
ing this, the city provided two carts
which made the rounds and gathered
up bales and sacks of the harvest. A
pile almost as big as house had accu-
mulated when all the returns were In.
Each child was given a slip calling for
a sum equal to cent pound for all
they turned in. The prizes will be
awarded as soon as the committee has
figured them out.
So successful has been the crusade
against the dandelion that the Com
mercial club is considering the offer
ing of prizes to interest the children
in other directions. Probably a cru

NEWS OF INTEREST.

Fine New Blocks Arc Being Erected
q Replace Those Burned.
The thriving town Of Lansford on
the intersection OF the Granville
branch Of the Great Northern and the
Thief River branch Of the 500 is MAX
ing rapid strides and the effects Of the
IRE last winter are being covered up
by new buildings taking the place Of
those that burned, and It is shown by
the fine new blocks being erected that
the people Of Lansford are strictly up
to-date, and have great faith in their
town and country. Bank Bros, who
conduct ono Of the largest department
stores In Bottineau county, and who
were burned out last winter, have just
completed nice bank building which
will be completed for occupancy within
the next week. The block will be one
Of the finest in the town. The First
State bank, which has Just completed
nice bank building when it was burn
ed out last winter, did not become dis
couraged, but in place of the ruined
building they are erecting a fine cor
ner block from pressed brick. The
first story is now completed, and they
will put a second story on it. which
will be used for Masonic hall. Mr..
Walstad, the cashier Of the First State
bank Of Lansford, is very active
young business man and 1t is largely
through his efforts that the institution
has become such strong bank f1nan-
cially. DR.. Devine is building brick
block which he will use for Offices.
Henry Willis, a well-known telephone
man in the Northwest, has decided to
put in a local exchange at Lansford,
and the wire and poles will be placed
In the near future. The people Of the
town are rejoicing over the fact that
they will have a flour mill in the near
future that will have a capacity of $50
barrels. The citizens showed their ap-
probation of the new industry for the
town by subscribing money and buy
ing site for the mill near the 500
track. Lansford has one of the best
baseball teams in the Northwest this
year. They have hired the battery for
the summer and therefore intend to
have some hard fought games during
the summer. The citizens of Lansford
subscribed in the neighborhood Of ST.
900 for the benefit of the team. This
shows the interest that the people take
in their team, and when such interest
t., ~,
not the slightest doubt that they will
have a team that will be hard to beat
even in the state. d. H. Cook, one of
Lansford's real estate men, stated that
the crops in his section of the country
were in excellent condition and that
the demand for farm lands about Lans-
ford had never been so great.
