quarters in clover and Timothy that was
looking very fine. One field was three
years old and had a splendid sod. A

and the upturned sod looked like new

They figure that three or four years of
clover and timothy will clean land from
wild oats. They also threshed fifteen
bushels of clover seed last fall, about a

PEMBINA, II. D.. FRIDAY, MAY as 1905

Els Thorwaldson, the enterprisine
and prosperous merchant at Mountain, is
being favorably mentioned as candi.
date for county treasurer on the fepubli-
can ticket. In the event OF treasurer
Anderson not being a candidate for re-
election. which it is now conceded he
probably will not be, the republicans
could scarcely lay the responsible honors
of county treasurer upon a more trust
worthy man than Mr.. Thorwaldson.
No man has done more for the upbuild-
ing and prosperity Of western Pembina
co"nty than Mr.. Thorwaldscn. He has
friends everywhere in the county and
would make strong candidate. -Cava-
lier Chronicle.

PRIMARY ELECTION Nor1cE.

Notice Of primary election is published
in this issue. Candidates for the legis-
]ature have until fifteen days and county
and district officers until twenty days be-
fore the election to file petitions. There
are bnt a few more days more. The
Democrats have made no canvass for
signatures for any Office so far as we
know. We presume that the names will
be furnished to the auditor by the COM
nittee. No legislative candidates from
the first district have appeared as yet.
The second district is also apparently
short Of filling the bill at present. Mr..
r. A. Thaoker for the legislature and
M. G. Ganssle for the senate being the
only ones having petitions out as yet
that we have heard Of. For county of.
fees, the Republicans have candidates
for most Of the principal Offices, the
treasurer's place being supplied by Mr..
Ellis Thorwahson of Mountain this
week. The balance including Justices
and constables will be filled by the coun.
ty committee. if not petiioneA for by
some individuals. For sheriff the Re
publicans have two candidates, the pres
ent deputy, Jas. a. Wilson Of Cavalier,
and George Readhonse Of Neche, and
this contest is the only one ia sight at
the present wriia9. Ofconrse, this all
proves that people individually ore very
much interested in primary elections.

refused to 60 with them though they
tried to intimidate him with revolver.
1t is thought from the description that
they were two men from Cavalier and
that they had been over to Gretna and
got a little too. much whlskey. The
