Sold Out? Not This Man

1t has been reported around
that A. P. kukowski has sold his
farm southeast Of town, but such
is not the case. Instead Of SELL
ing Mr.. kukowski is buying more
land and intends to keep on farm
ing in the Golden Valley, which
he says is profitable business.
The past year he raised and
threshed $4,000 bushels of grain,
large part of which was flax.
and which he sowed, harvested
and threshed with gasoline power
machinery. He put over $4,000
worth Of building improvements
on his farm this year, along with
s11, 900 worth of machinery and
equipment, and still had enough
left over to purchase another sec
tion of land. and states that he is
also negotiating for another half
section, all Of which he expects
to crop next year. This doesn',
look much like selling out.

At 1855 a. m. Wednesday, the

Certificates attesting the fact
were drawn up and signed for

But the appointment by the
governor of temporary county
commissioners will be held up by
a contest action which is to be
instituted by a little bunch Of
five or six county officials, who
are going to hang oGto the teat
as long as they possibly can.
This bunch of ,;disgrurtled dema'

Foley on Map Changes

The map Of North Dakota is
rapidly changing; at the last
election three new counties were
added to the list. Billings, out
in the western part of the state,
few years ago unsettled and a
paradise of stockmen and game,
is divided into three counties,
the tier of townships on the bor-
der of Montana being set off in
the new county Of Golden Valley,
including the famous Golden
Valley" country. which in the
past ten years has outstripped
every other part of the state in
growth and development. The
rev county of Golden Valley will
be one Of the most prosperous in
North Dakota. Its lands cannot
be excelled for wheat, flax and
small grains. A recent appraise
ment for a school land sale put
the value Of the land at $50 ar
acre. This is the highest ap'
praisement of land ever fixed ir
the state. j. W. Foley in St
Paul Pioneer Press.

ARMARTH
Mill STOPPED
Sheriff Will Prevents Combat, Dis.
appointing Sports--- Was
to Have Been a Big One

Just as the fight fans of vest
ern North Dakota and eastern
Montana were gathering at Mar.
marth to be in readiness for the
contest between Ben Tremble of
Duluth and Bill Rickard of Mar
marth, which was to decide the
championship of the northwest,
Sheriff Will of Medora arrived
in Marmarth and politely but
firmly informed the promoters
that the fight was off, says a
dispatch of the 28th to the Far
go Forum.
Whereas this was big disap-
pointment to the promoters and
the hundreds of fans who had
gathered from western North Da-
kota, South Dakota and Montana
to witness the big fight. it did
not meet with the disapproval of
the better class of Marmarthians
who are trying to build up the
city on business principles.
1t is quite likely that had the
fight been pulled off the receipts
would have been larger than at
any like event ever pulled off in
the state. Seats were selling at
$5, standing room 50, and the in.
coming evening trains were filled
with fans who were not notified
in time to prevent them from com.
ing.
The fight will undoubtedly be
pulled off in some neighborine
state during the next week. Thi:
will undoubtedly put an end te
the fight game at Marmarth ane
result in that town having I;
severe shaking up.

OFT Again, Gone Again

Electric lights were installed
in the depot last week and the
employees are very much elated
over the change. That depot is
probably the draughtiest place in
town and it was almost impossi-
BILE to keep an oil lamp going
when the ticket window was
open. The entire system is con-
trolled by switchboard in the
office. 1t is expected that by the
end Of the week the platform
will be illuminated as we'll,
thereby minimizing the danger OF
falling over a truck handle or
stray piece of freight.
Later-4At an early hour yester.
day morning the whole place was
brilliantly illuminated for about
two hours, or until nothing but
embers remained.
