The INDEPENDENT:
You want to know what the farmers
think about Minot. Well, the farmers
have been roasted about sending to
Shears & Sawbuck for goods, which
in way is wrong, but how about Ger
tain residents of Minot sending off to
the Red River Valley for potatoes
and vegetables and getting their hay
from TOWner, instead Of buying those
products from the farmers here? Then
there are certain feed stables where
they keep wheat straw to accommo-
date the farmers and then charge Is
cents just as though the farmers
horses had no straw at home or that
1t Is God enough as long as they get
the rs cents So the farmers are apt
to send of their money as long as this
practice is kept up. This may not be
the case with everybody in Minot, but
It lis with some. The Minot business
men want to show that they want the
business of the farmers. One far
mer todk load Of hay to Minot, and
after waiting all day long on the cold
streets fellow came along, and ask.
ed him what he wanted for it. In the
meantime. q certain business man
came along and asked the prospective
buyer OF the hay why he didn't buy
hay at Towner, as it cou.d be pro-
cured cheaper there than here. If
that fellow likes Towner SO much bet
ter than Mfnot, he ought to move
there. Now the farmers could bale
their hay, and ship it away, also their
potatoes and grain, and then purchase
their goods from Shears & Sawbuck,
Or Montgomery, Ward & Co., if Mi.
not,s business men prefer to deal
with Towner and the Red River Val.
ey. For my part, ! want to trade in
Mlnot, but want also the business
men to do by me as they wish to be
lone."

the salt cellar was one with wood

how to use the salt, some resorted to
their knives, while others used the
more primitive implements, their fin

by Mrs. Marham's great uncle In Yer.

The luncheon consisted Of baked
beans, corn bread; old fashioned head

social functions in the days Of yore.
In the evening Mrs. ]. E. McKoane,

Two men at least have given ac-
counts Of their sensations when they
were carried OF by lions-the great ex-
plorer Livingstone and a man named
Wolhuter. q ranger Of game preserves
in the 1ransvaal. VOLUNTEERS adven-
ture is not secondary in interest TO
Liyingstone's experience. His story,
which was attested by the certificate
Of the magistrate Of the district, was
substantially as follows:
He was riding along Kafr path
about an hour after sunset. It had
been a long march. and be had pushed
on ahead Of hts companions. His dog
barked at something, and a moment
later Wolhuter saw lion crouching
close to him on the right hand side
The ranger turned his horse sharply,
a circumstance that no doubt caused
the lion to miss the spring.
Wolhuter was unseated. At the same
moment be saw another lion coming
from the opposite direction. The
horse rushed or, with the first lion
in pursuit. and the second lion picked
WoIhuter up almost before he touched
The ground and gripped him BY the
right shoulder in such a position that
he was face up. with his legs and body
fraeging underneath the beast. Thu

RANCH AND FARM.

Stark county school lands will be

1t is evident that the demand for work
horses is greater now than ever before
and that with the evolution from graz
ing the range to farming it, horses will
be required in constantly increasing
numbers, the tendency of prices. will
therefore, during q number of years at
least, be upwards rather than downwards.
The 2O-miles-an-hour law for stock
trains has been declared unconstitu-
tional by the state supreme court in
the case of Larry Downey vs.. the North
ern Pacific Railway company. In a suit
for damages the lower court gave judg-
ment for plaintiff which is reversed by
the higher court on the ground that the
law is an unreasonable exercise of the
police power of the state.

The federal census of live stock just

show a decrease in slaughter cattle
