THE TOWN OF NIAGARA.
Its Growth and the Early Experiences
0f Its Local Editor.

(COntributed.)
Niagara is one OF the oldest towns in
Grand Forks county. 1t was settled
at first ny nuMDer OF people ron
Providence, Il. H., and was considered
one OF the most cultured little towns
on the pike. A little inciuent took
place in the towl in the early days
which is still fresh IN the mlnus OF all
old timers. A republican paper was
started called the Niagara shines, and
1t was rlgnt at home among It's re-
publican Irienas, there being only one
democrat in the town. Inc euilor or
the Times was called away on bust
ness and the only man il the town,
Charley" Eng. tried and true
democrat, VINO hau had any experience
IN running a newspaper was Ielt IN
charge. Charley" remembered the
many hot things the repuDllcan editor
had said against the democrats AID he
PROCEEDED to get even. He did. The
Times came out next week with q
string OF burning aujectives applied TO
the republicans that maze Rome howl.
Very rev knew that the eoitor Was
away from home ana there was reg
ular rush tor the Times Office to pay
up and stop the paper. When the poor
editor arrived home he found every-
thing lively around the PRINT shop, ex-
cept the devil and he was hid in box
car. 1t took the editor several weeks
to get the matter Strengthened out, but
he never 1ully recovered from the
shock. In short time after, the paper
was discontinued and there has never
been a paper IN the town since.
For number or years Niagara stood
still and did not grow bit, but during
the past three years. it has had Il
steady growth. All the While that the
town was standing still, the surround
ing cou-try was growing and prosper
ing With increased prosperity among
the farmers, the own took on new lie
ana during the past three years there
has been many new and substantial
improvements going on. A new bank
and two large new stores besides a
number OF fine new residences built
the past two years. a drug store has
recently been put in by Grand Forks
man.
Roy Pickard, Frank Tompkins and
Johl Vollertson will each put up fine
new residences next year.
When the Times man arrived he
found a few who had already sub
scribed for the big paper" but the list
was soon increased to size that looks
good. The people of Niagara seem to
. Know a good thing when they see it.
People who cannot stand up in the
fight must not look to sit down in the

Cheyenne Tribune Railroad Notes

G. P. Richardson, the Union Pacific
brakeman who underwent an operation
for appendicitis at st. Johns hospital
a week ago, is able to sit up and is rap
idly recovering from the operation.
So far this morning thirty men have
been examined by the Union Pacific
physicians here for employment in the
various departments of the Union Pa
cific. Most of these will be employed
as trainmen or signal men.
S. S. Morris, formerly chief dispatch
er of the Union Pacific at this point
and who will assume his new duties as
head of the examining board of the sys-
TEN, proposes to organize the board
along permanent lines. Heretofore the
board has been made up of appoint.

Application for Habeas Corpus in Bank
Wreckers' Case.

Cheyenne, Wyo, March 22.-Attor-
neys Banks and Hersey Of Denver, at
torneys for Leonard B. Imboden and
James A. Hill, the convicted Denver
bank wreckers, appeared before Judge
~Vandevanter of the circuit court of
appeals yesterday afternoon and made
application for a writ of habeas corpus
in behalf of their clients.
The attorneys claimed that their eli
ents had been indicted on six separate
counts and that the jury acquitted then
on the first two, which in reality con
stituted an acquittal on all of the
counts.
Judge V~andevanter promptly turn.
ed down the application and cited a
score of precedents showing that the
lawyers for the Colorado bank wreck,
ers had no grounds.

ODD FELLOWS WILL HAVE
BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.

Elk Mountain lodge, 1. o. o. F. is
making preparation for an elaborate
celebration of the eighty-sixth anniver-
sary of the order at that place Satur-
day, April 26, says the Rawlins Repub'
lican.
Noble Grand Dickinson has appoint
ed committees to make arrangements
for the occasion and these committees
are very active in pushing their plans
to success. 1t is probable that a Raw
Inns orchestra will furnish music for
the dance.
The Elk Mountain lodge has n of
the neatest little homes of any lodge
in the state. There are something ov-
er seventy-ive members and the prin-
ciples Of Denevolence and charity are
truly upheld by everyone of them.
Their celebration is sure to be a

ported carries $4,000 each for Utah,
Idaho and Wyoming. An amendment
to the Wyoming appropriation provides
that the stations shall be located either
in Wyoming or in the Yellowstone
park.
Entry on Agriculture Lands.
Senator Carter has introduced a bill
authorizing the secretary of agricuI-
ture to permit homestead entry on ag-
ricultural lands included in forest re-
serves. The bill limits the entries to
100 acres each and gives the prefer
ence to persons who were settlers on
the lands with the intention of becom-
ing homesteaders at the time they were
included in the forest reserve. This
bill is intended to meet the objection
raised by Senator Hepburn that agri-
cultural lands were being withheld from
homestead entry and included in the
forest reserves.

years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
ounced it a local disease and prescrib-

failing to cure with local treatment pro
nounced it incurable. Science has prov
en- catarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease and therefore requires constitu-

May Secure Appropriation.
I'VE did not see the secretary of
the Interior said MI. King today, "but
we did interest various congressman in
the enterprise, including our W rep
resentatiye, and have reason to believe
that the house will provide an appro-
priation for the purpose of building the
road. The new road will mean much
to Bozeman in the event it is opened.
1t will afford an entirely new route to
the park, and one that will be espec-
tally attractive to those who enjoy
hunting and sport of that character.
An Attractive Route.
The proposed new route to the park
would be especially attractive to per-
sons who are fond of big game shoot
ing. The West Gallatin basin is one
of the greatest big game sections of
the world. Elk and other large game
animals wander across the park line
into the basin, which is a great feeding
ground for them. The basin has been
visited by many foreign sportsmen and
while the elk and other game is not as
plentiful there as at one time, there
is still opportunity for good sport. The
fishing is excellent, and the scenery out
of the ordinary. If the road is built
by the government Bozeman will be
come the Quitting point for many
camping parties of tourists, for the
route is an easy n and offers finer
scenery n better advantages than
lany other"
