Mandan is the county seat of Nor
ton county, the gateway to an I'M
mense agricultural territory west OF
the Missouri river, trading center
for the country nearly as far south
as the state line and north into the
rich and fertile counties Of Mercer
and Oliver. It is a city of live bust
ness men, sound institutions, solid
banks, mills, elevators, splendid ed
vocational and church institutions and
of we'll appointed and comfortable
modern homes. Just at the present
time it is the center Of attraction for
many people because Of the building
of two new lines Of railroad, one
branch of the Northern Pacific road
south and one north. The grading
of these new roads has been partly
completed and in another year trains
will be running on them, opening up
a big commercial territory and add
ing to the prestige Of the town as
trading and commercial center. Nor
ton county, of which Mandan is the
county seat, is one of the most pros
porous counties in, the state. Ter
ritorially, it is vast empire of rich
and fertile land. It's settlers are
thrifty and prosperous. There is
more vacant government land in
Morton county than in any county
III this land district, and the county
has been the scene of big immi-
grafton in the past few years. The
southern part of the county has been
peopled with new settlers, whose ex-
periences would fill many pages, with
the same tale Of prosperity and COM
fort following on industry and
energy.

JUST A FEW EXPERIENCES.

James McGillic, of Mandan, has
Been for years a dealer in farm pro-
ducts and ships thousands Of dollars
worth OF eggs and poultry out Of
Morton county to the far west. He
ships potatoes in carload lots to Ohio
points and Chicago. He notes that
there is a remarkable increase in
general farm products Of all kinds
showing that mixed farming is a sue
cess in this western section where
people once thought that nothing but
buffalo grass would grow. He re-
marked on the increased production
ofssuch vegeta blesas scauhfower, to
matoes, andg celery. Last year one
farmer Oliver county north sof
Mandan sold one Thousand dollars
worth of celery OF a small patch of
land. If the average farmer will de-
vote as much time and energy to his
farming that the. average man does
to his business he would know no
such word as fail In securing good
crops.

pany until they were disposed OF.
He always maintained that the wes-
tern part Of the state was just as

try as the James or Red river val
lays. His ideas were scoffed at by
those who tried to hold, the country
for the ranchers but he has stayed
On the slope long enough to see his

and has in his Office building fine

RADFORD' s BOOKS
SHOW MYERS IN
HIS DEBT
ELABORATE STATEMENT OF &C.
COUNT PRESENTED IN COURT
OVER 200 LOANS MADE TO
PLAINTIFF.

A statement OF his account with
Col. e. +. Myers, with whom ne Is
now engaged in lawsuit. was pre-.
scented in Judge Murphy's court, Sat
urday morning. by Attorney George
w. Radford. II WAS TO secure an ac'
counting OF judgment OF $4,000 col
lected by Radford on Judgment OBJ
tanned by Meyers against the county
OF Lucerne, Pennsylvania, that the
present suit was begun.
The account is a vouminous docu'
ment OF 20 pages Of typewriter mat
ter, and ii shows that Mr.. Myers Is
still in Radford's debt TO the sum of
81 1890, not counting interest since
1903.
The amount of the judgment obtain
ed in the Pennsylvania courts was
S1491S.79. but of this Radtord was
paid SETTLES, the balance going for
costs.
Against this credit Radford has ar
account which covers the other Is
pages OF the statement. The biR
item of the statement Is a note for
S4.625 given by Myers to Radford IN
December. 1899 The firm of Willard,
Warren & Knapp was paid two
amounts OF $3.50 and 1927 for ser
vices in connection with the suit In
Scranton. and the balance OF the ac-
count is made up largely OF loans
which Mr.. Radford claims 10 have
made to the colonel These amounts
vary from SO to $3.50, and more than
200 Of such items appear in the list.
Mr.. Radford's direct examination
was completed Saturday morning. and
the cross-examnation was postponed
until Tuesday in order TO give Attor-
ney w. c. Stuart an opportunity 10
examine the statement.
During the examination, Friday af.
terEoon Radford admitted on the
questioning OF his attorney that he
told Col. Myers he bought one-half OF
the judgment against Lncerne county
from his son, George w Myers, for
$3.50, as benefit for the colonel. and
that he intended to give him what
was left after fees and expenses were
paid.
