The country for twelve miles south
of Gladstone Is settled up with Ger
-Hungarians and they are indust-
rlous and prosperous. Our trip was a
flying one. We left Gladstone at a.
m. and returned at 1880 p. m. but
we stopped at several points and talk
ed with the people. Many of them
could not understand English but two
of our party could speak German and
they acted as Interpreters. We heard
several interesting stories regarding
the experiences of these immigrants.
"The great majority of them settled
In the country twelve years ago, taking
up homesteads. They built their first
houses themselves out of sod and
kind Of mortar they manufactured by
mixing straw with the clay to be found
in the subsoil. Many of the families
are still living in these original houses
which make very warm, clean and
comfortable homes in spite of the fact
that they are made out of such crude
materials. They have prospered but
have devoted all their surplus to in
crease their land holdings and their
stock.
"Now, however, they are beginning
to live more comfortably and in better
style. Still they do not send away
for the material to erect new homes.
When they want little better house
they secure their material right in the
neighborhood. Most of the second
houses are are of stone and are made
of the slate rock which Is found in
that vicinity the pieces of slate mortic-
ed together with the same clay which
is used in making the sod houses. This
makes very comfortable home. Some
of the houses have three large rooms,
a cellar and garnet which is par
titiOned off and used for sleeping
apartments They are whitewashed
both inside and out and present
very attractive appearance"
Mr.. Weston says that the settlers
are not regular Hungarians but are the
defendants of thrifty German farmers
who settled a century ago in Hungary
under a special agreement with the
Hungarian government.
From what I can learn these Hun
s3oAA oho WIZ oiiCASA pdlISuIdI plltI-
leges. They were to be exempt from
taxation and from military service.
The object Of the Hungarian govern
ment was to get this thrifty class of
agriculturists to settle in the country
that they might teach the Hungarion
peasants better methods of farming.
But with their special privileges
they prospered so that the natives of
the country became Jealous of them
and the government was forced to re-
woke their privileges. AS result they
are leaving the country as fast as they
can and the United States is deriving
the benefit by having this thrifty class
of farmers settle within its borders.
They have been farmers for centuries
and they understand the business
thoroughly. The same thing is true of
the Russian-Germans. Many of both
classes are settled in the western part

course, the fact that women. generally
speaking. are the applicants in divorce
cases has nothing to do with it, but
more than half the special agents of
the census bureau to be sent out to the
big cities to gather divorce statistics
will be women. There will be 100 of
them.
At home these special agents are
merely clerks. but when they go out to
perform field work they become special
agents endowed with special powers.
One Of them is the right of admission
to every public Office which the agents

Sec. 3. The bonds to be issued
under and by virtue of this act shall

The Kidder county officials have
never taken any action to carry out
the provisions of this law, and at the
last meeting of the commissioners of
this county the states attorney was
instructed to investigate the matter
and recommend method of proceed
ure at the next meeting of the board.
States Attorney Patterson exam
ined the records at the courthouse
and finds no action has ever been
taken by Kidder county and will prob
ably recommend that the commission
ers of Kidder county be notified of
the dereliction of their predecessors
and anticipates that no trouble will
be encountered in securing justice
at their hands.
The same session of the legislation
provided that vote should be taken
by the people of townships 143 and
144-SO, and 1881, to determine wheth-
er they should be attached to Nc
Lean county. The vote was favora-
BILE to Mclean county. There was no
provision in law for the townships
taken by Mclean paying their share
of the Burleigh county debt at that
time, but it is thought a court of
equity would order such payment to
be made by Mclean county should
the matter be taken to court. The
case is being looked up by States

K|DDER'S DEBT To THE

The legislature of 1885 took from

and added them to Kidder county.
In separate act provision was made
for reimbursing this county by Kid
der the county debt that should be

THAT is pretty good country through

big crop unless something happens to

They have had plenty of rain all
