Miss Rusten, a bright little lady Of
Lincoln township, called Monday and
ordered the LEADER sent to her uncle
M. Rusten of Veblen. Then she
wrote out a notice for the annual sale
by the ladies aid society of Lands
church which takes place at the home
of Ludwig Eidsnes in Norway town
ship on Saturday Of this week at 1:30.
Lewis Asper Of Norway township
was in town last Tuesday consulting
with Elling Opsal concerning the
famous Pan Handle country In Texas
when Mr.. Asper and MI. Opsal have
sold a great deal of land to actual
settlers, men who are delighted with
the climate and country, and none
seem better satisfied than A. G. Sat-
rum, late of this county. Those Pan
Handle boomers say: "We can raise
something every month in the year
and grow rich" Mr.. Asper is just
back from Texas where he sold three
Union county men farms.
G. A. Odegard of Norway township,
while discussing crop conditions in
this office Monday, remarked that his
alfalfa would make over four tons to
the acre, estimating the third crop
yet to cut, having two crops In stack.
His alfalfa field contains 81 acres and
at the present price his total crop
will net him over So, 900. This is not
so bad for a dry year, and 1t is worth
nothing that alfalfa has done well in
some of the dryest sections of the
state.
Severt Alnes and daughter Laura
were in town Monday to meet his
daughter, Miss Iona, on her retu IN
from Mott, N. ID. where she spent
three months visiting at the home Of
her sister, Mrs. Upland. Miss Iona is
something of a hunter, bringing home
with her the tanned pelt of a big
wolf shot near Mott. She rides a horse
gracefully and fearlessly and can
handle a gun when occasion demands.
She Is quite proud of her wolfskin, as
it takes quite a little nerve for a girl
to chase and shoot a big timber wolf.
In looking over Satrum brothers
planning Mill the other day we found
nine men as busy as beavers turning
out house furnishings and other
material for new houses here and else
where, and it is the intention OF
these enterprising gentlemen to dupli-
cate their plant with a cement block
structure in the near future. They
are cramped for now, but the
ingenuity of both the brothers has
made it possible for them to
lie room to the fullest extent for
rapid work. The LEADER hopes that
their new cement block building will
soon materialize, as it mean a larger
output Of finished material and the
employment of more men, and the
finished product Of Satrum brothers
planning factory is equal to the best
turned out by any mill In the county,
and the finishing work in the new
Lutheran church is ample proof of
u statment.
