The county commissioners will meet
again Monday May 9th.
A year ago at this time over half the

sown.
Do you want a copy of the new session
laws? Call up phone two-one and order
it-now.
Remember that Friday, May 3, has
been designated by Governor Burke as
Arbor Day.
1t is worth going miles to see the bar
gains offered this week on the ten cent
counter in the crockery department at
Boyd's store.
The usual Sunday services at the
Presbyterian church of this city will be
conducted by Rev. w. M. Fee, of Bran
don, Man., both morning and evening.
Saturday afternoon the assessors met
at Co. Auditor Powers office, to talk
over the questions of levy and valuation.
They also received their books and sup
plies and start work on the 1907 ASSESS
ment this week.
Look over the adv't of Fawkes, the
fruit and confectionery man, for his
weekly announcement of special Satur-
day sale. Every week he has an in
ducement which helps to make the
crowd of Saturday shoppers visit his
store.
Monday was the day for the leasing of
state and school lands in this county for
hay and grazing purposes. Quite a
number of bidders from the south and
western parts of the county where here
despite the stormy weather.
The fire department is expecting the
early arrival of a shipment of 600 feet of
new hose recently purchased which will
enable the department to do effectual
work in fighting fires in the outlying
portions of the resident part of the city.
The order of service for Sunday, April

The track team which Langdon's
high school will send to the inter-scbolas-
tic meet to be held at Grand Forks this
spring is one of the best that has ever
gone into training under Teacher Dan
J. Ridlington and may be depended
upon to make a good showing with the
crack teams from the big towns over the
state.
Wheat has held a steady selling price
on the local market above the 10 cent
mark but most of the grain hauled in
has been barley. This week oats have
brought a top price, the better grades
being in good demand at 35 cents a
bushel. Take it all round the week has
been a busy one for the elevator men.
Another boost has been made in the
salaries of railroad men. This time it is
the Great Northern section foremen
who are favored. They will in future
get IS more per month than they have
been receiving, and the raise is entirely
voluntary on the part of the road. In
addition the assistant roadmasters are
to be allowed an expense account, some
thing which they have not hitherto
had.
Another unusual occurrence on April
10Th the Ct. Northern passenger arrived
nineteen hours late was preceded by
a. snowplow to clear the heavily drifted
cuts of the snow that had filled them
during the storm of Sunday night and
Monday. This came somewhat as a
surprise after witnessing the kids play
ing base ball on a bare spot an the play
ground of the school house Saturday
afternoon.
The official report of the meeting of
Cavalier county assessors held here last
week. placed the assessed valuation of
farm lands at $4.25 to $3.50 per acre.
The personal property valuations all re-
main about the same as last year, with
the exception of automobiles to be listed
at a valuation of from $50 to 1925 each.
Halvor Torgerson, one of the veteran
assessors, was named as chairman of the
meeting again this year.
A letter received on Tuesdays mail
from Father Dougherty announced his
landing at New York on Friday of last
week. In company with Bishop Stanley
he goes from that city to Washington,
D. c., for short stay of a few days and
therefore will not be able to reach Lang
don in time to take part in conducting
the usual services of Sunday at st.
Alphonsus church. From his letter it
is understood that he will get back to
Langdon about the middle of next
week.
