SEEDING HALF THROUGH
IN LA INQUIRE COUNTY

Representative G. H. Shells of Ed
geley was all smiles this morning as
he was discussing the promising out
look Of affairs in the southwestern
part of LaMoure county at the Waldorf
with a gentleman whom he had come
to town to meet. says the Fargo
Forum.
Mr.. Shells thought it safe to say
! that the farmers were about half
through with their wheat seeding and
that they were blessed last week with
just about the amount of precipitation
that was needed.
This spring Mr.. Shells continued the
acreage will be from 10 to IL per cent
greater than last year and about 10
percent of it will be in wheat. and, in
addition, there will be a tremendous
amount of breaking done for fax. The
additional acreage is accounted for
from the fact that there have been up
wards of 100 cars of new settlers
! brought in, Edgeley this spring,
nearly all Of them American farmers
from Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. Mr..
Shells said the farmers OF LaMoure
county would be on hand at the state
fair and would be exhibitors in sew
eral divisions and classes.

A TIME GARD
CHANGE
Expected to Arrive About April 29-
Story That President Hill May Sc.
cure a Connecting Air Line From
the Great Lakes to Great Southwest,

1t is currently reported that within
the next few days there is to be a
new time card issued on the Great
Northern, with a consequent change
of play on the checker board. The
new card is expected along about April
%, and while there is something of
dearth of information at the present
time, it is understood that the coast
trains will not be materially affected.
Local officials profess ignorance about
the matter, but do not deny that new
card is in making.
In this connection it is we'll known
from dispatches, and from recent de-
velopments at Washington. that Presi-
dent Hill is looking askance toward
the great southwestern territory,
which has to a certain extent become
mecca for homeseekers, and has
plans formulated for good connect
ing line between this territory and the
head of the Great Lakes. A we'll
known local railroad man believes that
this will some day become as impor-
tant connecting link almost as the
north coast routes.
The schedule reported is that of pro-
viding connecting air line from Du-
luth to the Western Pacific road at
Oakland, Cal, with complete up-to-
date service.

the panel of a door and inserting the

fastening the bolt About one dollar
was received from the money drawer.
This amount was left as is the custom,

Here the burglars received about three

The work was evidently done BY the
same parties who entered the meat

The last evenings issue of The

this section, was able to give it's
readers and friends the only anthem
tic news hours ahead of other papers
and that its enterprise in getting out

the report of the terrible catastrophe,
is appreciated is evidenced by the COM
