the Occidental hotel which was

thinks that while the coast has many
charms the satisfaction of knowing
that the earth Is reliable on It's |

Archbishop Riordon's AppeaI-The
following letter has been received by
Father Clemens and is self explana-
tory:
Fargo, N. D., April %, 1906.--Rev.
Dear Father: -Archbishop Riordon of
San Francisco, sends me this appeal:
"In the hour of our distress, appeal
to you to ask the assistance of your
priests and people by means of col
lection in the churches of your
diocese. The work of fifty years is
blotted out. Help us to begin again"
In compliance with the Archbishop's
request, urge you to make a collec-
tion in all Of your missions as soon as
possible, and to send the. proceeds to
Father Egan, who will forward it at
once to the Archbishop. Sincerely
yours, John Stanley, Bishop of Fargo.
A Bad Piace-For long time the
condition of the walk in front of the
vacant Lot on the corner Of Broad
way and Fourth street has attracted
attention. The retaining wall fell
away some time ago and only a por-
tion of the sidewalk remains. A
rickety fence is all that keeps
pedestrians from falling into the
debris left by the fire and it would
seem good policy on the part of the
city to have the defect remedied, not
to mention the improved appearance
caused thereby to the street. At the
rear of the excavation lot of boxes,
barrels and straw offer fine induce
ments for a. fire and if not removed
by the owner it might be good idea
for the police to burn the stuff up and
lessen the danger to surrounding
property.
How to Prevent Flying Cotton.
Prof. H. L. Bolley in Fargo Forum:
In their anxiety to escape the cotton
showers many people are needlessly
sacrificing valuable shade trees. Now
is the time to examine your cotton
wood trees and decide which to cut
and which to leave. Do it this week.
Leave the males, destroy the
females, if any are to be cut down.
The trees are now in blossom and it
is easy to distinguish them The
male tree produces a slim pendulant
flower cluster (ament) which is red
to dark purple in color. These soon
| fall off and never develop cotton: Such
purplish flowers may be found under
male trees. The female tree produces
tshorter pendulant flowers of a light
green color. These are permanent,
do not fall off. The small green pods
lin which the cotton and seeds form,
may be seen even now. Note the
color of the fiowers-male purple,
female green.
:, The Major Takes Hold Steele
Ozone: Major Belden was in town
Monday. He has gone to Standing
Rock to receive the agency from the
4 acting agent, Inspector Sands. His
duties will therefore begin at once,
land for time he will be pretty busy,
1t is probable he will be over to see
!. his friends now and then. It is be-
Elieved by those who know Major
Belden that he will make most
deficient agent. He has the cool and
deliberative qualities in a marked de-
gree, and will take his time in matters
requiring consideration, and there are
many such in that business. He will
Ialso be prompt to act when necessary.
There is practically no trouble with
Indians as a body at Standing Rock,
though. with individuals. as among
whites, there are always differences
to adjust. His many friends in Kid
, der county and on the Slope generally
will wish the new agent every success.
1t is Improbable that many changes in
personnel will occur soon. 1t is
known that several requests for trans
fers had been made previous to the
). appointment of Mr.. Belden, but what
the status will be now is not known.
!, A. Fine Lecture-The illustrated
lecture by Rev. Harris at the Presby-
terrain church last evening drew a
large audience which felt well repaid
for attending. 1t is not often, Bis.
