PIucky Young Women.

Two young women who live
north of Angie post office in Will.
liams county. walked twenty
miles to Angie to catch the stage
that they might ride to Ray,
thence go to Williston by train,
to secure dates for their final
proofs. Such young women show
more pluck than many men and
deserve the land that their Uncle
Samuel enables them to secure.
Another young woman, who is
refined but poor, has been COM
PEELED to leave her claim and
work in the hotels of Williston in
order to get enough money to
see her thru" The officials at
the Williston land office are CIV
ing the young women the prefer

Writes About Canada,

a former Ward county farmer who
lives at Little Manitou, Sask., writes
the independent a description OF the
country and we take It that he is not
over pleased with that part Of Canada
He says:
"We had very late spring and snow
could be seen the first part of June. All
seeding was done in May except some
fax that was seeded on new breaking.
Considerable breaking was done this
year. and the prospects for good crop
are promising if frost does not destroy
it, On We cannot harvest until sometime
in september.
There are no homesteads to be had
that are worth while, but there is some
railroad land for sale at from nine to
eighteen dollars an acre.
The soil is about the same as in Ward
county, with little more clay. We
have poor market for grain as at pres
ent time we are forty miles from a
station, but next year we will have a
market within ten miles, as the Grand
Trunk will run trains on its main line
will go thru here, and the Canadian Pa
citic branch from Regina and Prince AL
bert. is coming into the same territory.
1t looks like the road will do more
harm th IN good in the way of cutting
up the homesteader's land, as the road
runs N. w. and s. e. When the e. P.
r. will build its line, we cannot say, but
it is liable to come next year."

Three Times and Out
Thrice Have the Minot Mideets Been Victorious in
Ball Games with the Williston Results Of
Irrieaton---S Sensational Game at
Williston Thursday.

Bruegger positively stood on
his head because he failed to
make lally. The crowd which
attended was unusually large and
the umpire, Mckay, dressed in
the stars and stripes, was able to
preserve order only by displaying
a sabre and an army rifle.
The Minot fat boys were there
like a dog" at every turn in the
road. Tracy played an excellent
game of ball, making several hits
and several scores. His running
was sensational. Kidder, Sher-
mans field man, went after the
ball like he gees after unruly
tree agents, and got nearly every
One Of 'em. Shaw, Prescott and
Vandenoever were all on their
metal and didn't let any oppor-
tunities escape them to cover
themselves with glory.
Several hundred dollars were
raised for a public library for
WilllStOn.
The Williston boys took their
defeat like little men were a lit
tie down in the mouth for a few
minutes, but, like the good fel-
lows they are, forgot all about
their troubles in shown { the Mi
not boys one of the best times of
their lives.
In the afternoon carriages
drove around to the h.tel and the
visitors were taken out to the ir-
rigation station four miles, where
the huge plant was inspected.
This is the only plan of the kind
in the world, one which will be
operated with electricity, which
will be generated by Ignite coal
from the big mine near by. The

tion and within a few weeks, the
manager informs us, the pumps
will be given test.

Will the Williston Fats ever
learn that it isn't mere luck but
great science which enables the
Greenleaf Midgets to wallop the
earth with them every time they
come together?
The third and positively the
last appearance of the monstrosi-
ties was at Williston last Thurs
day, when the Minot team
walked off with the blue ribbon
to the tuae of 16 to 6. Really it
was a shame to take the money,
and as matter of fact the Minot
team had everything planned to
give the game to Williston TO
make them feel right-wnen the
Wiliston umpire began to give a
series of rotten decisions, when
George McGee got up his Irish
and Knute Leighton his Nor
wegian and Stoddard his Dutch,
and it was all off. The Williston
band was present and played a
dirge every time one Of the Big
Ditch men made a score, but that
happened so seldom that the band
did not have an opportunity to
play ell of the many new selec-
tions which had been carefully
practiced in anticipation of a
walloping victory.
It was heartrending to see De-
laney shed tears as the Minot
boys hit the ball upon the nose
time and again as it was twirled
over the home plate by the pro-
fessional pitcher who had been
secured from Montana. Big Chief

Stories of the Hunters.

Paul V. Mccoy and DR.. Taylor
had a good days hunt, coming
back with twenty-siA chickens
and three ducks.
j. w. Samuelson, H. A. Hurd
and party secured about thirty
chickens and as many ducks.
One of the party fell out of
boat and got fisherman's luck.
Harvey and George johnson,
sons of James johnson, broke
all records killing ducks. In one
day they killed more than 200
ducks when their ammunition
gave out. The boys very kindly
distributed the game among the
neighbors, giving them enough
to last a week.
A. c. Hanson. propr g or OF
the Public Drug store, took Mr..
Heustis, his soda expert. out to
show him how to kill prairie
chickens. They Travelled sixty
three mics and didn't sep a
chicken until four O'Clock iD the
afternoon, but didn't get shot
at that. On their way home
they spied a jack rabbit. 1t ran
in front of their guns as they
were shooting at a mark and
met accidental death. Hanson
has preserved the ears OF the
same.
R, w. Jones and Wm. P.erow
had an exciting time. Their
horses became unmanagea lie
and started to kick. Jones, in
his excitement let the gun fall
and it was discharged. Pierow
handed the gun to Jones, when
again it went off, the charge
passing within three inches #
Pierow's side. The buggy ran
over the frearm damaging it.
W. W. Horton spent the first day of
the season at Granville Degrading the
trip he says" got right smart of
chickens, and reckon the others got
heap more than we 'uns'' 'They do
tell' that Horton has way of charming
the chickens, as he can't sboot-much
He bagged fifty however in surpris-
ing short time.
John j. Bates, the weather man and
F. A. Stoevener, after planning on
b'g hunt for many days went out in the
hills near the Russell ranch Sunday.
Before they had fired shot, their team
became frightened at the ducks and ran
away. The horses circled in the hills
and must have run six or eight miles
when they we're caught by Sam Clark
and Julius Weinrebe. Bates and Stoev-
ner walked all day in the hills looking
for the team and when six o'clock came
they gave up the job and caught ride
home. The captors brot the team to
the city and placed them in the livery
barn. The only damage that was done
was broken tug. Both hunters lost
their guns, but their coats, grips and
bottles Of water were picked up and re-
stored to them.

Hunters Frighten Stock.

Hunters should be extremely careful
when hunting on other peoples farms
to not frighten the stock, either by
shooting or with their dogs. A fine
mare valued at $500 was frightened
Sunday on the Reichert farm so badly
that she ran into the wire fence, and
almost severed one of her hind legs.
A veterinarian was called to the place

Monday was Labor Day and the

In Memoriam.

DIED, April 20. 1907. at her
home near Wheeling, La, Mrs.
Bette Mitchell, wife of j. S.
Mitchell.
Again has the death angel visit
ed happy home and taken one
of its loved ones. One of earth s
most faithful spirits has returned
unto the God who gave it. Never
more till the day star of eternity
guilds the shores OF the eternal
Beyond will we hear again her
sweet voice speaking eonsoling
words to the sorrowing. Never
more till we meet beyond the river
will we see her sweet face smiling
in tender sympathy through her
tears. Never again will we hear
footsteps or see her beloved form,
for God has called her home
where there is no more sorrow,
no more signing, no more tears.
She was a lovely flower that had
bloomed into perfect womanhood
and shed its fragrance over all
around her. But God has gather
eel her into the never-fa.ied gar
lands of the angels, where she
will bloom in beauty in praise of
her Maker throughout eternity.
By her pure christian character
she has endeared herself inexpres-
slbly to all who have known her
during her life. She was the stay
and comfort of her husbands life.
To her children she has been all
that O true and devoted mother
should be. She has beer faith
full christian having joined the NJ.
P. Church at an early age. Her
work everywhere was well done,
her every duty we'll performed.
She was a christian in the truest
sense of the word.
Friends and loved ones of Mrs,
Mitchell be comforted. There Is
no death for such as she. What
seems so is but a transition into
a life of joy and eternal happi-
ness. The star has only set to
rise on a fairer shore.
This life is but u stepping stone
to the true life Beyond. May We
so live that at our death we may
leave behind the same beautiful
record that this faithful one has
and thus insure our entrance into
heaven.
We watched her breathing through the hight
Her breathing soft and low.
As in her breast the wave OF life
Kept heasing 20 and fro.
SO silently we seemed to speak,
So slowly moved about,
AS we had lent her half our powers
To eke her being out.
Our very hopes belied our fears.
