That Ryder Election.

It seems that the Indepen-
dents informant, j. w. Kemp,
concerning the recent election was
away off in the Ryder statement
that he gave one of the reporters
of this paper, when he said that
no election was held at that
place. The Independent believ-
ed that he knew what he was
talking about but it seems that
Mr.. Kemp had left Ryder before
the judges opened the polls. Mr..
Henry Dyer in a letter to the In
dependent says that as election
inspector, he offered to recognize
Mr.. Kemp as one Of the Judges,
but at the same time he had his
objections to Mr.. Kemp's ap-
pointment, which he may make
public later. The Independent
didn't intend to do anyone an
Injustice, and is sorry when
errors occur.

Thirteen Sacks Of Independents.

You can imagine something of
the size of the Independents cir
culation when you consider that
our last weeks issue of our last
weeks issue of sixteen pages,
1900 copies, filled thirteen large
mail sacks and about a thousand
pounds Of print paper was used
for the edition. The Indepen-
dent uses between thirty and
forty dollars worth of print paper
each week to say nothing of the
heavy postage bills that Uncle
Sam collects from us each month.
Still there are some who assert
that the newspaper business is a
graft pure and simple. If the
newspaper men could graft the
people half as often as they are
grated, there would not be one
Of us but who would be million
aires inside of a year. BY the
way, have you paid up your sub
scription to the Independent yet?

NOVEMBER in DAKOTA.

November, it is growing cold,
The dead leaves they are flying;
Dakota farmers can count their gold
But for summer they are signing,
For now the year is growing old.
Past memories, they are trying
To wake us from our reverie
And see the old year dying.
Oh yes, the old years in the wane,
There's nothing now adorning,
Our autumn nights they have no eve,
Our days they have no morning,
Our balmy days are in the past,
Our hearts they are longing
For old Thanksgiving time to come
And see the New Year dawning.
Our summers, they are something grand
They never vary one iota,
Now, we will render thanks to God
For creating N. Dakota,
The place where all can live in wealth,
From want there's no need crying,
But, like all other things on earth,
The old year is surely dying.

Farmers can Afford to Travel.

About one-third Of the settlers

proved a fine class of farmers,
and there is not a better class Of

stock. In all my travels in Da-
kota, could not find such a
thing as a poorhouse. While
none may be fabulously rich, all
have enough and to spare; and
what more can be asked for in
this world? The growth Of
farming in North Dakota has,
perhaps, been more nearly re-
duced to an economic science
than anywhere else. Crops are
grown at proportionately q much
smaller outlay. There is no
more stacking of grain-it is fed
right into the threshing machines

Although he had expressed n Will

can be no doubt that he would be gIsi

says he has been made scapegcat

II is intimated that before coming
