T. r. Shaw has gone into another sort
of chance business since he heard the
county returns. There's music in the
air every time Tom starts out. Now it
is pianos. Going to give them away.
However that puzzle of his isn't just SO
easy as it looks at first. If you are good
at puzzles this will be an opportunity to
get your talent on exhibition. See his

| There is quito a commotion at Winni-
peg Junction. The N. P. has during the
last few years built uew line about a
mile north of the junction, in order to
avoid a deep depression there, which
makes big hill to climb when going
out. They have spent very large sum
of money in this work, and now want to
move the town to the new line There
is quite little village, and when the
station is moved the property there will
be of no value, 80 the owners are making
a fight. 1t is probable that the railroad
company will make a fair settlement
with the villagers.
Editor Sherman of the Cando Herald
says-'Hon. Judson LaMoure, of Penn
bina, is to be congratulated upon his re-
election as state senator. This gives Mr..
LaMoure the distinction of being the
oldest member of the body, having re-
presented the first district in that official
capacity since statehood. The fight put
up against him il the campaign just
closed was about the most unprinclpled
and absolutely filthy one which has come
to our notice during the campaign. Fol
this reason his election is a great source
of qualification to his friends over the
state.''
Wheat prophets are all prophesyine
profits in wheat both in the near anc
more distant future. The board of trade
! people are mostly bulls on the present
crop, and J. J. Hill says that in six years
more we will eat all the wheat that W.
can raise in this country. Looking ovel
the continued higher prices for whea
for the last three years or more, it begins
to look as if the markets had already be
gun to feel the shortage. If true, thi
means that there will be great boom il
the price of Red river valley lands with
in short time. Guarantee dollar whea
and our lands are easy worth hundre
dollars an acre. Don't sell your farm
you have one-buy one If you hav
none. Red river lands are the best il
vestment speculation open to day.
