Benedict Banner

The child of Mr.. and Mrs Nels
Lindborg died last Wednesday,
Aug. 81. The sorrowing family
have the sympathy of their many
friends and neighbors.
The house of Walter Brothers
six miles west of town on sec. %,
L. $50. R. 80, was burned to the
ground last Sunday evening with
every thing in it. The family be-
ing away from home the cause is
not known. This is their second
fire inside Of a year.
The new depot is fast nearing
completion and is a building to
which our village points with
pride. It is second class depot
and one that Benedict is worthy
of, and was not moved in town on
a fiat car like Ruso's depot. The
500 recognizes the fact that this
is a promising point and are max
ing everything good as the COM
richly deserves.

R. T. and VIM. Lierboe were
notified by telegraph of the death
of their mother at Decorah Iowa
and left Monday for that place.
They will return next week.
Miss Ina Phmister left Satur-
day morning for DePere, Wis,
where she will attend school un-
til next June.
What little wheat thrashed has
made a better yield than was ex-
pected. The cause of this is the
heads were long in comparison to
the length of the straw and the
grain we'll filled and plump.
A lot of the late fax which looks
SO promising will not amount to
much as the dry weather kept it,
from filling and many of the pods
are absolutely without any flax in
them.

He Sees A Silver
Lining to Clouds
Viii Have Good Crop If There are no Killing
Frosts Until December 25-But There Have
Been Several So Far.

Steele Ozone: 1t may not be
generally known that in this
blooming country we can raise
crops all the time. For. instance,
there are several crops of late sown
flax that have come up since the
rain of three weeks ago. The
Ozone man has Is acres up in good
shape mile east of Steele. It is
a fine, even stand, and if there is
not killing frost before ,Decem-
ber 25, it will go 20 bushels to the
acre. But we are not going in
more debt for improvements on
the strength of that crop. Others
are in the same fix. The fax was
sown in the last half of June,
which though ordinarily safe
enough, this year got no rain to
start it, hence had no show. Every
body knew that it was lon,,
chance against making a crop, but
in this country we have the nerve
to risk, and this time some of us
lost.
The wheat is different propo-
sition, for it is of the winter variety
and is not expected to ripen this
year. A field especially in mind
just now is that of F. Mcintyre,
referred to last week. 1t is sixty
acres, and although sown about a
week ago, is now up three inches
high at least, and a beautiful sight.
The field is green spread, the
drill rows clear cut and thrifty.
This is the largest seeding of
winter wheat made SO fer. It was
put in on land plowed not long
since. Mr.. Mcintyre is feeling
jubilant over the recent rains that
have hustled it along.

Made Good Interest
On Investment
That Horse Raising Pays in the State Of North
Dakota According to this Article From The
Dickinson Recorder.

In 1882 Messrs. Chase & Frye
turned loose three brood mares on
their range near Oakdale and in
the summer of 1883 they added
six more to the. bunch, making in
all nine head and on the first of
last week MIR. Frye delivered $42,-
600 worth of horses-the increase
from the original nine mares-to
parties from Madison. Wis. In
cluded in the delivery were two of
the original mares, both with colts
by their side. Mr.. Frye thinks
horse raising in, western North
Dakota beats banking in the same
locality-and he has paid twelve
per cent most of the time these
horses were growing.

Roseglen News

Hello everybody. It's pretty
hard times this year but we will
have to correspond a little with
the Washburn Leader anyhow.
Harvest is just about all done
and threshing has now started.
The crop yield will average from
five to ten bu shells per acre.
Rev. Darvik from Plaza will

The General News
In Condensed Form
A Hai1storm Near Napoleon Put all
Late Grain to the Bad and Did
Other Damage.

A man near Minot dislocated a
shoulder by sneezing too hard.
Last week frost killed all the
late flax in the Stanton neighbor-
hood and on Thursday night a
quarter of an inch of ice was found
on all the water barrels in town.
The secretary of the CONNER
cial club at Minot will have a COM
plete report of the 1910 crop in
Ward county. Each farmer has
been asked to tell what kind of
grain he sowed and the yield per
acre of each crop.
It is said that the cattle shipped
from Montana this year is better
than those of last year, and the
market is good. Price of horses
and sheep have gone down.
In some cities it is a noticeable
fact that automobiles have taken
the place Of good driving teams.
The N. P. will now run on
schedule time on their new branch
between Mandan and Mott. The
distance is 12S miles with twenty
towns at which to stop. From now
on the 500 jokers will take a rest.
The best yield of wheat near
Napoleon was ten bushels to the
acre. The average is around five.
A hail storm lasting forty-fve
minutes struck in the neighbor-
hood of Napoleon and pounded all
grains and vegetables into the
ground. That's hard luck for the
farmers after getting through the
hot season with a little product
called hope.
At last the ''cut the weeds" story
will take back seat. Jack Frost
did the work for the lazy man this
year.
The Wahpeton-Breckenridge
street railway has been in opera
tion only one week and 10000
people have enjoyed ride.
A farmer found four pennies
while ploughing which are valued
at $500 apiece.
The Benedict Banner must be
Jealous of the Ruso Record. It
gave that paper no less than three
little knocks in its last issue.
