Ship BY Boat.

Williston, N. d., Oct. 8-Joseph
Mann. representing the River &
Packet 70. of Washburn, N. D.,
arrived in the city on No. 3 Sunday
for the purpose Of looking the Mes
SON -Hoffland country over, with
view of putting in a line of
boats to handle the grain, bringing
it to Williston for shipment.
Monday Mr.. Mann went to Nesson,
accompanied by Joseph w. Jack
son, secretary of the commercial
club, and found that there were
about 100000 bushels Of grain in
that part of the country, on both
sides of the river, to be taken care
of this fall. Monday evening Mr..
Mann wired Capt. I. 2. Baker, a
representative of the company at
marck, to send up boats immedi-
ately and he expects them to arrive
in few days.
The putting on Of these boats
for grain hauling purposes will be
a great help to the farmers of the
Nesson and Hoffland country, and
especially to those who live across
the river in Mckenzie county.
The farmers in the vicinity Of To-
bacco, Garden, Charleston and at
Schafer, without the help of the
boats, would be compelled to haul
their grain about fifty miles before
they could ship it.
It is rapidly becoming apparent
that the Missouri river will add
| greatly in the upbuilding of our
city, as with each succeeding year
there is a greater amount Of traffic
carried on in this way. With suf-
fcient work done of a permanent
dock, regular boat lines would be
established. both east and west,
bringing hundreds of thousands Of
bushels Of grain to us to save
freight tc Williston.

hundred bushels Of feed, fifty tons
of hay, and eight or ten ten sets OF
work harness by fire on Tuesday
evening about Z o'clock. 5000 is
all the insurance he had on the
building. He estimates his loss at
$4,000. John Glover also lost a
horse in the fire. Sam Harding:
who was at the place at the time
of the fire waiting for threshing
crew to come in from. the field,
nearly lost his favorite horse Mis-
chief that he stood in the part
where the cattle were kept. He
just slipped the halter off from
his horses head when the fire
burst through. We sympathize
with Mr.. Mertz in his great loss.
Late Tuesday night a thresher
who gave his name as John Easy
money plead guilty to the charge
of assault and battery before just
ice Bickel and was fined $500 and
costs amounting to $2S.35. The
charge was preferred by Julius
Klemin upon the grounds that
while he and his wife were driving
into town from the country on last
Saturday night about mile north
west Of town they heard a team
coming down the road as though
running away and they drove out
Eof the road. The team coming to-
ward them which Mr.. Klemin re-
cognized as being driven by some
I;of the Glover & Mertz threshing
crew also left the road and ran into
the Klemins' buggy, upsetting it
land breaking the shafts and reach
beside bruising Mr.. and Mrs.
Klemin somewhat. The fine wes
paid and the matter settled up to
the satisfaction Of all concerned.

The North Dakota Exhibit at State

Elkhorn, Wis, Independent:
Thousands visited the exhibit of
North Dakota at the fair and had
their eyes opened. It's good
idea, this getting together a dis
play of products of a state and
bringing it to the people who need
like the Missourian, to be shown.

tion and management of Commits

The average Walworth county
farmer knows all about dairying
for good profits, and that is why,
no doubt, North Dakota's figures
in this branch of her industry
proved intensely interesting to a
great many. Butter produced
there is of the best quality and the
Montana mining districts and
other section to the west are af-
fording top markets to North Da-
kota, dairymen. Because Of its
breeders Of fine dairy stock just
now are reaping rich rewards.
There is an empire to. the west of
I North DAKOTA, and it is an empire
i capable Of furnishing a market for
all that state can produce in the
way of dairy products.
i Out in the southwestern part of
the state the new Milwaukee ex-
tension to the Pacific is crawling
along. The road traverses Het-

Adams, Bowman and Billings
counties, and 100000 acres,
where grass, water and coal are
abundant, all ready for opening.
It is in these counties that Wis.
consin people find peculiar inter-
est, for there ex-Badgerites have
settled in large numbers. Un-
doubtedly the operation of the new
road thru that section Of North
Dakota will cause heavy immigra-
ton from more eastern section of
the country. North Dakota's half
million Of population will show an
immense increase even in the next
twelve months.

GOLDFIELD, Dec. 5.-Senator
Clark and party left this afternoon on
the return trip to Los Angeles after
paying a brief visit to Goldfield.
Those accompanying the distinguish
ed Montanan were his brother, j.
Ross Clark, president of the Las We
was & Tonopah railroad; F. M. Grace,
general superintendent; c. o. Whit
temore, general counsel; DR.. Ray w.
Martin of Las Vegas, surgeon of the
road; Douglas White, publicity man
ager of the entire Clark railway sys-
TEN, and W. A. Clark, Jr., and wife.

Der of commerce, after which the Wis
itors became guests at a banquet
given at the Hotel Casey by j.. Casey
Mcdaniel
Later in the evening Senator Clark

tertainment with pleasing music.

pressed his pleasure and declared
that it was business mission that
had brought him to Goldfield, and
yet because of the continual round of
pleasure that had been afforded him
by the citizens of Goldfield he an
ticipated that he would not have time
to accomplish much. The speaker

came upon the desert and into the
mountains to dig for gold, and de-
clared that such men would not be
discouraged or deferred by tran
silent financial disturbance.
Il want to congratulate the peo-
pie of Goldfield," said Senator Clark.
You have built here on the desert a
large and substantial city, with places
of worship, magnificent school houses
and elegant hotels. 1t is indeed mar
velous that such should come about
within such a brief space of time.
Nevada and the whole country are
proud of Goldfield and the wonder
and admiration of the world are
fastened on it's fabulously rich mines.
''That we have confidence in the
future of Goldfield | believe is best
evidenced by the whistle of our loco
motives and the rumble of our
trains. We have satisfied our most
sanguine expectations here in Ne
vada and intend when the clouds
clear, as it were, to continue our rail-
road building in this state"
The senator closed his address with
comments on the financial situation,
speaking in the most optimistic Ian
guage of the future.

FINE PRODUCT
IS HOME POTATO
Is ExceIIed Nowhere on Earth in
Quality, Says Ranch MANAGER
PIate-.A Days Experience.

When a gentleman who has given
most of his years, numbering not a
few summers and winters, to the
study of dips, faults, secondary en-
REGIMENTS, etc, and has graduated to
the point where most of his remarks
have to do with cross cuts and drifts
and he cannot sit down in parlor
without wishing for muZzle in order
to make sure that he doesn't say
something that would sound all right
in the ears of dilatory hand on the
quarter deck of a shaft station but
which would be horrifyingly inappro-
pirate in the presence of ladies, II,
indeed, it did not bring on fatal col
lapse of nerves; when gentleman
reaches such stage and then suddenly
turns agriculturist, things down in
no ordinary calendar of probable
events are likely to occur.
Such being the case, intimates of
II. R. Plate are not worried about
the state of mind of the manager of
the Consolidated Copper company,
though those who enjoy but passing
acquaintance have expressed alarm
and are taking the other side of the
street when Plate comes in sight
these days. They view Withdrawn,
to use a good old stock phrase of the
Democracy, the things which the
gentleman says with regard to his
agricultural performances, for which
pursuits, it is to be said, he has de-
veloped much enthusiasm and an in
terest that is profoundly deep, and
as tremendously weighty as section
of the free silver views of the Hon.
Richard A. Riepe.
Mr.. Plate took the lid off of the
limit of previous performances yes
terday, however. Returning from a
visit to the ranch in the morning 1t
occurred to him that a number of
tons of the finest potatoes ever
grown in the valley had better be
hauled in from the farm and put cir
culating in the marts of trade prior
to delighting the interior arrange
ments of those in the district with
appreciation of really first class ar
ticle of the product de spud. The
idea appeared better and better to
Mr.. Plate as he neared the city an
roping it securely he proceeded with
plans for dissemination of potato
views that would move the food
product from the ranch, enrich the
treasury of the company and make
humanity glad. Straightway on ar
rival in town the gentleman pro-
ceeded to the emporium of dis
penser of solids and with never a
tremor opened his batteries. The
first round shot fell full on the store
keeper as follows:
You see we have sunk and stopped
her clean and the output is the finest
bunch of pay stuff you ever laid your
eyes on. We want to ship now and
