town Monday in company with his
son-in-law and daughter, Mr.. and
Mrs. Theodore Meppen, of the Hart
ford country. He was returning
home from visit of a couple of weeks
In Emmons county. Mr.. and Mrs.
Meppen brought their babe to have
it baptized, which was done by Rev.
N. Wood. Mr. Buschenfeld has real
estate in the Hartford country, and
1t is more than probable that he will
come here next year to reside per-
manently. lie went to Iowa forty
two years ago, and he says that in
those days the Hawkeye State suffered
from many of the drawbacks per-
tanning to North Dakota and to all
new and sparsely settled states. He
has no more doubt of a prosperous
future for North Dakota than he
has for Iowa.
Last week there was reference in
the Braddock News to the fact that
Treasurer Herolz had some time ago
unloaded his second hand typewriter
on the county and received 800
therefor. Mr.. Herolz claims that all
he received for the machine was $50.
An investigation of the commission
ers' minutes shows that at the April
meeting, 1905, Mr.. IIerolz-then, as
now, county treasurer sold some
secondhand stuff to the county for a
total of $lO6.:5O, the articles being a
desk. a chair and typewriter. The
bill was not itemized. Mr.. ii. claims
that $50 was the price of the type
writer: but. as the bill is dumped,
there is no way of ascertaining the
truth from the minutes. The type
writer was an old-style (nor-visible,
Smith Premier, and could have been
purchased from a dealer in second.
hand typewriters for not more than
$50. In fact, there is not second
hand machine in town modern and
up to-date-that cost more than $3.50
SO far as the editor OF the Record has
been able to ascertain. A secondhand
Oliver typewriter in good order was
bought by a Linton man for $40, and
is now i'm use here. Is it usual for the
purchasing agent OF a county-sup
posed to represent the interests OF the
county-to sell anything to the coun-
ty? Even a board of school directors
is not allowed by law to do SO. Y
would appear that the taxpayers o.
Emmons county should be thankful
that "the purchasing agent did not
at the same time sell all his Ole
clothes to the county.
