brated the Day in a
General Way.

There was no celebration of the
Glorious Fourth in Bottineau this

A train left for the North at six
thirty in the morning, to attend the

GRAND SUCCESS
Was the Launching of the
Washegum last Mon-
day Afternoon.

The launching of the Wahshegum
passed off successfully on Monday of
this week. Although the roads were
heavy the attendance was good but not
rs large as it would otherwise have
been. The new boat was beautifully
decorated with flags of all nations and
with red, white and blue pennants.
At 2 O'Clock John F. Haskell delivered
the launching address. He spoke at
some length in regard to the Indian his
tory of the lake and made strong
plea for the general use of the Indian
name, Metigoshe, which is the correct
one and not use the incorrect and vul-
gar name Fish Lake. Mr.. Haskett
said the ancient Chippewa name was
Metigoshe- -sahigun but when we use the
English word "lake'' we drop the last
half of the Indian name retaining on
ly Metigoshe of the Chippewa name.
In this plea we are in accord with
the speaker. Metigoshe besides being
the correct name is a beautiful and
expressive one and should be in gen.
eral use.
At the close of the launching address
the Souris band which rendered excel
lent music throughout the day, struck
up lively air and Immediately after
Miss Anna Hooman, the fortunate
young lady selected for the purpose.
broke the bottle of champagne over
the bow of the boat and christened
her Wahshegum. The boat then slid
from her ways and foated gracefully
on the lake. In q few minutes she
was under way with full load of
happy people out for trial ride.
Capt. james Thorburn treated ev-
eroyne who wished to go on a free
ride and all expressed delight with
! the new vessel.
The dimensions of the Wahshegum
are as follows: Length over all is 81
feet; beam 9 feet; depth feet; depth
of centerboard ~ feet; masts 25 feet;
sail reach from water line to peak is
33 feet; sail area is 100 yards. The
Washegum is fore and oft rugged
vessel and will produce good speed
with safety. Besides her sails she is
equipped with an eight horse power
marine gasoline engine of latest pat
tern She is fitted with air and water
tight compartments and has carrying
capacity Of 80 people. The Courant
is glad to see so sood craft upon the
waters of Metigoshe, the prettiest lake
in North Dakota.

Office department is supposed to en-
ploy the best detective talent in the,
country, and there has been hint sug-

of crime study. They are certainly
doing some beautiful work. both in
getting the swag, and successfully get
ting away.

R. A. Scholfeld was notified that the
Board intended to increase his personal
property assessment in township Is OF
range 76 by adding thereto the value
of one old threshing rig. Mr.. Schol-
field appeared before the Board and
had no objection to the listing of the
said threshing rig. The separator
was thereupon assessed in the amount
of $65.OO and the engine in the
amount of $4,000, making total
assessment of 1926. 90.
The assessor from the second dis
trict, the assessor for Newborg Town
ship. and the assessor for Mount Rose
Township had failed to bring in their
assessment returns. Orders were
therefore issued to the sheriff to pro-
ceed forthwith to obtain all of these
returns from the respective assessors.
The Equalization of horses was next
considered. The assessment of this
class of property was found to be uni
form throughout the entire county
with the exception of the assessment
for Lansford township. The assess
ment of horses thee years old and ov-
er in this township was raised three
and one half per cent to bring the a9
erage up to the average in the other

AT ANTLER.

About one hundred people boarded
the excursion train here bound for
Antler to spend the Glorious Fourth.
At every station the crowd seemed to
grow larger and by the time the train
ed reached Antler the train was loaded
to the guards-and then some. The
Souris and Westhope bands were in
attendance and furnished plenty of
music during the day. Amusement
-centered mostly on the ball games and
good games they were too.
The first game played was between
Bottineau and Antler and it is said by
a good many of those who saw it that
it was one of the best ever. Lake
pitched for Bottineau and played star
bail, allowing only four hits and not
allowing single pass. Schmitt be-
hind the bat was there with his usual
good work. Larson at short and
Murphy at third also played excellent
ball. In fact every man in the team
was in the game all the time. Holli-
day and Jarvie were at the points for
Antler. Umpire Norman Matheson.
Score to 0 in favor of Antler.
In the afternoon the Westhope and
Deloraine teams clashed on the dia-
mond in an exciting game, in which
the Westhope team lost by score Of 2
to 1. Lefty Hanson was in the box
for Deloraine and Bidne for Westhope.
Quite a bunch of money changed hands
on this game.
The exercises of the day were held
in bower, where Miss Heide read the
declaration Of independence, Judge
Kirk Of Bottineau delivered an ora
tion, and patriotic songs were sung by
selected choir. Those who heard
Judge Kirk say he did himself proud
in his effort and surprised even his
friends.

TRADE AND TRAFFIC.

The trade of Chill is almost entire
ly in the hands of Europeans.
France imported 100000 worth OF
apples from Canada last summer and
xall.
In 1904 Denmark sent to England
over $4,000 tons of butter, valued at
S45,0 OO. 600 .u
1t is thtimated that 100000 tons of
steel rails for 1907 delivery are under
negotiation, and that fully half that
tonnage has already been placed
1t is said that the hides OF American
live cattle sent to England to be killed
and eaten are by prearrangement all
sent back across the Atlantic, there to
be tanned, and, mayhap, reshipped to
England as leather or in boots and
shoes.
Shipments of anthracite coal during
May amounted to 3,254,320 tons, against
COOLIES tons in May last year For
the year, to date, the shipments aggre-
gate 19,7O9,793 tons, contrasted with
24,S72,9 1854 tons in the corresponding

cred dry" beans. White ones mixed
with the green damage the selling
price from few cents to half their
value per quart.
On the market lima beans are sold
by the quart, hence the best pack is
the ordinary 16 or "a quart berry crate.
Real early beans often sell better in
pint boxes, as the price is so high thai
customers of the retail stores do not
want as many as full quart. The
peck market basket is another package
used, six to ten quarts. being put in
each basket with covering Of green
netting TO enhance the greenness OF
the beans.
Many beans cannot be shipped in
bulk, because they heat the easiest oil
all vegetables, and heating results in
souring, sprouting, mildew, spottine
and decay. Although itself green and
full of water, the lima bean must be
absolutely free from outside moisture
when packed for shipment, says Farm,
Field and Fireside Nor must the
package in any way get wet, or total
loss will result inside Of IL hours. A
novice in the business often blames
the express company or commission
merchant for the spelling of his goods
and consequent bad returns, when it
is his own fault in allowing the beans
to be packed in damp condition
Smelling, as well as picking, must
be done by hand. Smelling is the more
tedious process. A good shelter can
shell eight to IL quarts per hour. One
and half to two cents per quart is
usually the price for Smelling, children
most often doing the work, although
the supervision of competent grown
person is necessary at all times.
If for any reason the beans after
being shelled are damp, they should
be placed for an hour or more before
packing on clean cloth, or some
other clean. absorbing substance, in
the open air-but not in the sun. This
is to dry the outer surfaces. They
should be spread not more than an
inch deep and rolled from side to side
every few minutes to secure even dry
ing. The cloth will absorb a part of
the moisture and the air the rest.
Usually, however, no such drying
process is necessary.

brands of fruits are constantly

man with stand on public corner

Rocky Ford. He got double the price
for them obtained for other melons
But few days after the same man
was selling all kinds of stuff In the
same kind of baskets and under the
claim that they were Rocky Ford
melons. Those that paid rs cents a
basket for the first ones purchased
were we'll satisfied and went back
for more. About week or two after
they believed themselves swindled in
the melons that were passed off upon
them as Rocky Fords.

Of profitable bearing depends largely
upon keeping the vines picked clean
and not allowing pods to get dead ripe,

when not quite ripe bring the highest
prices. The time to pick the pods is
when they show faint traces of light
