Mr.. and Mrs. H. S. Judson OF Chicago

his partner are looking after the sale Of
10000 acres of land that they own in
Billings county.
C.. ]. Lagrave, who has land with his

Since last April Mr.. Lagrave has
broken 40 acres Of prairie land, on
which he raised IS acres of good fax,

Ben Collins. sons and daughters, 10.
Gated on the flats north Of Richardton,
have a $500 wheat crop this fall. Their
macaroni wheat gave an average yield
of SO bushels, against rs bushels last
year. They have 500 bushels of fine
onions and great quantities of other
crops, and are glad that they immigrated
from Wisconsin to North dakota three
years ago. The Collins postofice is at
the home of these people apd it would
not be surprising if they had a village
there some time in the near future, par
ticularly if the N. P. should construct a
line where their surveys are being made
north.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Stark, accompanied
by their private teacher. Miss Rebekah
Gehon, were in from Bowman county
the past week. Mr.. and Mrs. Stark are
pioneers in the southwestern county of
this state and during the earlier days
had many interesting experiences with
the Indians. They always got along
we'll with the aborigines and rather en-
joyed their annual visits in the fall
season. Mr.!and Mrs. Stark have been
successful in the stock business and are
now planning to live at some point
where they can get school advantages
for their children and may decide to
locate in Dickinson.
Ten sections Of land in Billings
county, belonging to J. B. Stoddard,
have been sold to Clinton S. Voolfolk
OF Chicago. Geo. Frye of Dickinson
made the sale, at prices satisfactory to
both parties, netting Mr.. Stoddard, it is
understood, $4,000 we what he paid
some years ago. Mr.. Stoddard still has
land enough for the grazing of his stock,
and is to be congratulated on his good
business foresight in purchasing wild
lands when the price was very low. He
is one of Billings most successful sheep
and cattle r~aisers, owning several we
equipped ranches, and his many friends
rejoice at his good fortune.
Recently H. S. Judson and Clinton S.
Voolfolk of Dickinson and Chicago
closed a deal with A. L. Martin of Sen.
tlnel Butte for 10 sections Of land in
Billings county. The price is not stated
but it is understood that MIR. Martin
realized an advance of something like
$4,000 over what he paid. He bough,
at a time when the lands were quoted al
about 81 per acre and has had the graz.
ing privilege since for his sheep and
cattle. Mr.. Martin is a director in the
Interstate bank of Billings county and
represented his district in the legisla.
ture two years ago, and did so we'll that
his people have declared their intention
Of returning him by an increased ma
jority.
