GOOD CLASS OF VISITORS
Land Seekers Flocking Into State
Dakota Dirt In Great Demand.

Land seekers and land purchasers
In the state of North Dakota are q
common sight. The moneyed men Of
the east are waking up to the fact that
this state possesses the most fertile
soil and the rarest natural advantages
of any state in the union. Not q day
passes by that some farm seeker stops
of in this city for day either coming
or returning for his family. This class
Of people visit different parts of the
state and buy freely wherever they go.
With these travellers added to the reg
ular patrons the local hotels are doing
a wonderful business. The Hotel Da-
cotah especially Is enjoying an era Of
prosperity which bids we'll for its
owners. This hosiery Is the headquar-
ters for travelling men and has become
to be regarded as one Of the best of
modern hotels in the west.
The landseekers who visited the city
come from Iowa, Illinois. Indiana and
Wisconsin, and many of them are
farmers though among them are not 4
few business men seeking profitable
investment. Some will settle here.
while others merely propose to invest
their money In the state. In either
case the state will be benefited, as
these people will materially assist in
developing its resources.
One of these landseekers stated that
he already owned 600 acres Of North
Dakota land, and that he proposed to
invest $4,000 in farm land in this
state turing the coming month.
Another stated that he now owned land
In Iowa valued ut 500 an acre, which
he had purchased years ago when that

every evidence Of being pleased with
her change of quarters and owners.
But an evil day came. Some one re-

Evening Times Office to the debasing
environment of the law. the lawyers

by philosophers that animals have no
moral conceptions and are therefore
unable to rise above their environ
ments, but here Is one instance where

Business.

The unfounded article in the Her.
aid this morning In reference to the
professional visit of Superintendent
Moore of the state insane asylum to
this city. serves to call attention to the
fact that every man who knows John
knauf has good word to say for him.
The doctor is here on business. Nat

have met him asked his opinionsas to
the merits of the fight being made on
the judiciary by the democrats. He
has not hesitated to say that he be-

If elected to the supreme bench. That

Will BUILD .C|NOER CARS
Large Order for This Type Of Car
Placed by Great N0rthern-Ship
to This City.

The Great Northern railroad COM
pany has just placed an order for forty
or fifty large cinder cars to be used
on the Dakota and Montana divisions
OF the road. The cars are brand new
in every particular and will be built
at the Waite Park car shops near st.
Cloud, MINI. According to the local
officials, these cinier cars are not
expected for several weeks, owing to
the difficulty of getting material to
supply the demand. All the car shops
in the west are running full blast, but
considerable more work could be turn
ed out If supply of material could
be guaranteed.
The new cinder cars will be some
what different than the old type, many
new improvements being embodied in
dozen are built and painted, up they
will be taken to this city and distri-
buted along the line.

Congressman Gronna Welcomed
Throughout the State.
Congressman A. ]. Gronna who has
been addressing the voters in a num-
Der OF towns in the western part Of
the state has been accorded most
fiattering receptions on every occasion.
The halls and opera houses have been
crowded SO that standing room was at
a premium. His practical talks ON
political problems of the day have
greatly interested the voters, and es-
pecially so, as he has the quality Of
placing the subjects before the peo-
pie In plain. common sense manner.
In speaking Of his trip up to the
middle Of the week, he stated that the
prospect for strong republican VIC
tory was very bright. People every-
where are coming out for the support
OF the ticket and it is freely predicted
that the majorities of past years will
be exceeded.
The congressman is expected home
tonight, and will probably not 60 out
again, although he may be induced to
speak to the voters here in Nelson
county.
Reports Of the meetings which he
has attended during the past few days
are fully as satisfactory as those dur
Ing the first Of his trip.

OF this In North Dakota and proposes
10 take advantage Of the rapid rise in
land values which is sure to come.
With this In view he Is investing heav-
lily in farm lands here.
These are only two incidents, but
there are many others like them, and
local hotel people say that never be-
fore have SO many prospective land
buyers passed through this city in the
fall Of the year. In addition to the
buyers there are a number of others
who own extensive tracts of land In
this state and who come here at this
time to look after their interests, ar
range for the rental or sale of their
land or see that they receive fair
share of the crop.

The TURKEY CROP IS slim
Reports from Rural Districts State
That Birds win Be Scarce,

The reports from the country re-
garding the annual supply of turkeys
are discouraging. People of the city
who are not favored with country rel
atives having a barnyard full of fat,
strutting turkeys will do we'll to en-
gage their Thanksgiving birds ahead
OF time, as present indications point to
a scarcity of the national fowl, while
prices unquestionably will soar. Re-
ports from farmers throughout the
state with reference to the fall tur-
key crop are very gloomy. The sea-
son apparently has not been a good
one for raising turkeys, and as a re-
suit farmers will not be able to meet
the demand.
Chickens, ducks and geese, however,
are plentiful, and the last Of Novem-
Der will find well supplied market
In that line. 1t is also said that the
prices will be reasonable. Eggs at
present are in great demand and the
.market is kept continually clean Of
fresh eggs. AS result some storage
eggs are being sold.
Malaga grapes from Almera, Spain,
are beginning to arrive, although the
season is a little early. The grapes
are the finest ever received at this
time of the year. They have an ex-
ceptionally fine color, are sweet and
delicious and run large and even in
size.
Florida grape fruit is becoming
plentiful. The fruit is exceptionally
large, has fine bright color and is
very juicy. 1t is also little early for
grape fruit, the season being about two
weeks ahead of last year. New to-
matoes from California will be plenti-
full for the Thanksgiving market, as
reports from that state indicate q good
crop.
Figs and dates are beginning to ar
rive from California and both undoubt-
eddy will be abundant. This years
crop of nuts will begin to arrive next
week.
