tor and some of the yields there are
reported to be large.
Beach-Dynamite let go too quickly
and tore off a thumb for a man, An.
drew Bezelik, who was handling it.
Jamestown-Much of the damage
done to the crops in the James and
the Missouri river valleys during the
first third of July was overcome by
more recent rains.
Minot-The latest county division
scheme in Ward county provides for
two counties to be known as Butkee
and Renvflle to be carved out of the
county, making three counties of the
present territory.
Minot-Great preparations are being
made for the national guard trip to
Camp Stanley at American lake, six,

National Guard of Montana, North Da.
kota, Idaho and Washington will par.
ticipate with the regulars from the

To Divide County,

Williston-The movement started to
divide Williams county has spread
until the plans contemplated three
county organizations to take the place
of one. Ray desires to have the coun-
ty cut In two on a north and south
line and Ambrose and Crosby want
to see another line run east and west
midway of the county. Crosby and
Ambrose started the movement, and
Ray followed. There is prospect that
the county will be divided on an east
and west line, because of it's seventy
miles Of length, but the other division
has not been looked upon with much
favor.
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1908-08-13
Decided AGAINST the Japs,

Minot-Mr. Matsurbara, imperial
consul from Japan and located at Chi
cago, was in the city investigating the
crop condition and in addition get
ting inside facts regarding the recent
action Of the government in denying
several Japanese the right to prove up
on their claims upon which they had
filed.
It is estimated that there are at
least. eighteen Japanese in this and
the Williston land districts who filed
on claims at different times. Several
months ago the first of these country
men made an effort to prove up and
this was denied by the land office
officials.

Not content with an attempt to amend
