Land seekers-About so landseek-
ers arrived on the noon train from the
east today. Some came only for
homesteads, but many of them came
to look at some of the attractive Of
ferings of decided lands offered by
local dealers. They were a mighty
nice looking lot Of men and this Sec
tion, will be fortunate if they settle
with us.
Hail Up North - Commissioners
Webb and Ecklund returned last even
ing from trip to the northern town
ships of the county on official bust
ness, They report lots of water up in
that section and quite a heavy hail
storm yesterday, hail being thick
enough to cover the ground The flax
was considerably injured, but other
grains were not so badly hurt.
Graduating Exercises-Tonight the
graduating exercises of the city high
school occur at the Atheneum, when
the largest high school class in the
state will give it's commencement pro-
gram. The event is one that is al
ways looked forward to with interest
not only by the parents and friends of
the graduates, but by all our citizens
and packed house is sure whether it
rains or not. = ~ '>.'
Made the Lawn Look sick-Last
night the mare and colt of John
Richie got onto the lawn at the home
of Frank Lawrence and undfd the
work Of last season and put the finish
ing touches :, to Franks trees. The
owner Of the property destroyed is
firmly convinced that the stock ordi-
nance ought to be passed and will
look to the owner of the animals for
payment of the damages. This kind
Of negligence, wilful or otherwise on
the part of stock owners has become
chestnut and mighty few property
owners exist who do not want the pro-
posed ordinance passed without fail.
Those members Of the council who
are looking for votes had better take
heed" said citizen this morning, cor
they will lose a heap more votes by
bucking the ordinance> or trying to
prevent quorum of the council when
the time comes for considering it,
than they will by protecting the peo-
pie from the ravages of the horses and
cattle" ''@ 5:s.-t ~
Lecture Course The matter of a
lecture course of unusual excellence
for next winter is being agitated. The
suggestion is. made that in order, to Sc
cure the very best talent in the coun-
try that all the churches unite. within
the business men In such a movement.
Valley City and other towns of the
state have already arranged for some
especially attractive features for their
course and II the matter is taken hold
of at once these same attractions can
be secured for. this city at a much
less price than If engaged solely for
Bismarck. There Is no reason why a
substantial and permanent lecture
bureau should not be organized in thel
city which will embrace all 4 theI
churches. IN Valley City, it. is said,
the local bureau has had the best
talent in the country the past three
seasons and now has a surplus Of
5000 ii the treasury 50, that the
course this season will be practically
free to the members Of the associa-
ton, We certainly ought to be able
to do as well.
