TWO GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
Receiver Of Devils Lake Land Office
and His Able Predecessor In
the City.

Among the prominent people in the
city today are Frank w. Cockburn, re-
ceiver of the U. S. landoffice at Devils
Lake, and his predecessor in that Of
flee. Ole Serumgard. 1t is said that
no landoffice in the entire United
States has been better managed than
the one over which these gentlemen
have presided. Devils Lake is BOOM
ing, according to the visitors, and
money could be invested there at a
big profit. The improvement most
needed now is hotel sufficiently large
to accommodate the enormous traffic
which the city has. A hundred thous-
and dollar structure would be none to
small for the present trade.
What has become of the old fash
Toned fighter who said he could whip
his weight in wild cats?

Most l7nkind Cut.
(Ray Recorder.)

The way the Grand Forks Evening
Press got its foot into it in its feeble
attempt to ridicule the president and
Senator Hansbrough was certainly
laughable. 1t was one of the --LATEST
failures We remember to have seen
for some time. North Dakota's penny
daily is little bit on the yellow
order and if sometimes a little I'M
truthful makes. up for it in other di-
rections what it lacks in veracity.

Oft times you hear Of some per-
son extending patronage to some
other, who is in his debt and will
not pay. While admitting that the
price charged 10 much higher and
quality OF the goods or workman
ship inferior and that it may be q
practice Of the party TO get in other
peoples debt and insist upon them
trading il out, he continues to re-
peat his actions. To the honest
man this course Of action looks
very much like q premium wa
being placed on dishonesty. What

Ed. Free Press: A press dis

anti. Mormon democrats out Of the

strong faction in the democratic
party which has always favored a
deal with the Mormon leaders, or
rather the policy Of bidding against
the republican machine for control
OF the Mormon vote. It might be
worth while to turn the control Of
the democratic party of Idaho to
this minority faction for once, just

POOR ADVERTISING FOR

sensational reports have been sent
out from Grangeville to . certain

Lewiston papers, that have been .
great detriment to the city and
county. Here some weeks past
our attention was called to . re-
port from here which the road be-
tween Graugeville and Sites was
reported a. impossible by the local
correspondents Of their papers,
when az . fact Of the matter the
stages were making their regular
trips. Travelling men from the
outside who read this dispatch and
were DESTROYS Of getting into thie
city telegraphed to Sites to see il
it wasn't possible to get in on horse.
back, when the truth was learned.
The report of Robbins crime over
At the Dewey mine, was the most
distorted thing imaginable, and the
dispatch sent out regarding the
Howard trial, that the Howard
boys would be tried directly after
the conclusion Of the trial Of theil
father, for the same crime. was 9
most garbled up thing. No doubt
it lie not the intention Of the locs
correspondent who sends in thes.
reports to exaggerste or overdrav
but nevertheless he should bear il
mind that the first qualification o
. reporter is accuracy. Suct
sensational stuff a. has been coins
