John Culp reports to The Tribune
that he threshed So bushels of splendid
oats from an ordinary load of straw,
and is therefore of the opinion that the
yield of oats in this part of the country
will be much better than the average
farmer is counting on.
Uncle Tom Wyckoff arrived the first

In Spain every important train is ac-
companied by two members of the civil
guard, who pompously patrol the plat
form at every stopping place. Such a
guard would be good thing on the 500
Line in North Dakota, but instead of
patrolling the platform they should be
compelled to patrol the track to see that
no rail-spreading had occurred since the
passage of the previous train and make
sure that everything boded for the
safety of life and property on the next
incoming train.

taken by Osborne Olson to a point nea,
Fern postoffice, where he either ex.
