of the county, there are likely to be
two, if not three, counties carved out

large as Walsh, Nelson. Grand Forks
and Ramsey combined, and the dis
tance from some parts OF 1t to the
county seat is more than hundred
miles. The recent growth and settle
ment OF the county have given IT a
substantial and permanent population,
capable of maintaining the dignity
and independence Of two or three sep

tured alcohol is still IA good deal OF
mystery. 1t is an unknown quantity
except so far as the testimony OF far'
away people is concerned. Doubtless

manufacture becomes a matter o
more certainty than it is now. TIN
La Moure county people will have
accomplished much If their rcseaIche:

way to another profitable l..dustry II
