Sam Fry lots near the school house,
which he has also bought and when the
change is made it will make very
desirable property.
The parody of the play 'Merchant
of Venice by the graduating class
of the high school will be given on May
22nd. The play is said to be very
amusing and will be put on the stage
in good shape. Mr.. Winlaw is doing

ticulars next week.
Customs officer Hart, says he was
talking with an old lady ninety odd
years of age, who was born in Winnipeg
who says that eighty-fve years ago, she
remembers that the Red river neve,
opened up all summer. Mr.. Harris re-
putation as a veracious story teller is
we'll known and unquestioned.
Mrs. F. G. Morris who has been spend
ing the last three months at Hot Springs
Ark, arrived home Saturday, much i'm
proved and having had an enjoyable
winter as far as climate and surrounding
went. The recent cold snap destroyed
all the fruit crop that was we'll advanced
and we cannot look for much southern
fruit this season, from her reports.
| F. G. Morris and H. Gains returned
from trip to Baudet e and points along
the Z. N. r. in Minnesota the first ofIthe
week, having looked for wood and lum-
Der. They found lots of wood ready for
shipment but the inability of the rail-
road company to furnish cars makes it
an uncertain prosition to get any at the
present time at least.
Owing to insufficient notice only a
small gathering was had at the meeting
to form branch of the Society of Eou-
lty. Organizer N. O'Shaughnessya of
Carlisle was present and gave an ad-
dress explaining the aims of the associa-
ton. Ten members were enrolled. w.
Douglas was selected as president and
W. Wexford secretary and treasurer.
L. Desrosier, the Pembina baker, was
in town Wednesday looking things over
with view to engaging in business.
Should he decide to open bakery here,
it will be located in the Campbell block.
Mr.. Desrosier was looking for place
for his brother we understand and not
for himself. We would not like to spare
our baker.
f. y. Hellstrom, who was last week
appointed warden Of the state peniteni.
airy at Bismarck, was former resi-
dent of this county. He was in the ma
chine collection business and was some
what of politician and did some scheol
house stump speaking on the off side
he is said to be capable man. Warden
Boucher whom he displaces has splen-
did record as prison disciplinarian and
business man.
N. r. Burley came in from the Long
Lake district, Sask., last week, after an
absence of nearly month, most of the
time he was on the road trying to get to
his destination. He reports an enor-
nous immigration to the Canadian
northwest this spring, and conditions in
most cases favorable to the country.
But like here the season is backward.
When he left trains were assuming nor
NAL time.
Pres. Shoemaker of the st. Cloud
Normal had but few hearers from this
side of the water last Friday night,
mostly owing to the fact that the large
ferry boat was not yet in operation,
though we notice that fact did not deter
quite number of the younger set from
crossing to the ball which followed.
Those who were present enjoyed Presf-
dent Shoemaker's lecture very much,
1t was practical and thoughtful. The
Teachers Institute of Kittson County
had a very interesting session,
Skule Goodman, OF Milton was in the
city Wednesday on his return from the
Quill Plain country, having been absent
a month. He was there attending to d
land contest he instituted last year and
expects to win out when reports come
from Ottawa. He reports the Pembina
county colony, Of Icelanders, that left
here two years ago we'll pleased and
most Of them doing we'll. He left the
following day by stage and will move t.
the northwest as soon as he gets favor.
s able report from his contest.
