No announcement in some time rs

Langdon, January 28th. Described
as Shakespeares most charming

of the immortal poet, its stage presenta-

not only theatre goers, but all who enjoy
good literature at its best.
AS the world views the struggles Of

Twenty Families from Illinois Move

A large number of farmers, represent
ing about twenty families of the vicinity

|C & A. railroads meet at the office of
Humphrey & Smith in Leroy on Friday
OF last week to arrange for the shipping
OF about twenty-five car loads of emf
grant goods and live stock from ethat
point to western Cavalier county North

March End, and will be taken over the
Big Four railroad to Peoria, thence to
St. Paul over the Burlington and then
over the Great Northern to Clyde, North
Dakota. The price is $74.50 per car.
Tho distance is about 1900 miles and it
will take the special train about four
days to reach it's destination. Three
days later special coach, with sleeping
compartments and all accommodations
possible, will be furnished for the
families of the emigrants and will go
over the same lines of railroads.
Among those leaving from the vicinity
Of Leroy, ILL.,, are; 9. B. Hammond,

E. M. Stone ebreaker, f. Downs, c. Peter
son j. M.Price, R Biby, F. Bordner. All

families and will be brought from the
vicinity of Leroy, ILL.,, to Cavalier county,
North Dakota.

LANGDON OLD TIMERS

Another Langdon old timer, who
many OF our readers will be glad to hear
something about is e. Moore, who left
Langdon something over year ago to
locate with his partner, j. S. Loynes at
Forest Grove. Ore. In letter received
during the week by Mr. r, e. b. Mercer,
quite good deal of information is given
that will be Of interest to people here.
He says that himself and family are
greatly taken up with Forest Grove and
the surrounding country, The SUM mer
they very much enjoyed, but since
winter set in there has been too much
snow and sleet for comfort and health to
make it worse lots of rain For two
weeks there was skating previous to the
holidays and old settlers tell them that
it is the worst winter that they have
seen in Oregon for thirty years. The
coldest day he states was ten above zero.
Loynes and Moore he states have enough
building contracts to keep them busy
until the first of March and thsy have
not had an idle day throughout the
year. The cost of living he states is
about the same as it is here. The
item Of fuel, however, is saving as he
has only bought six cords Of wood since
going out there and still has enough of
it left to carry him through the winter.
Vegetables they are able to dig out of
the ground at all seasons of the year as
The apple crop however, was failure
and they have to pay as much for them
as we do here. Mr.. Moore says that
they have a very pretty home there with
fruit trees of almost every kind in their
garden, and look for 1910 being pros
porous year with them.
