locations in consideration. but he has
not definitely decided on any as yet.

is leaving a goud business at Crookston
to come to Dickinson. He believes con-
ditions are best in Dickinson and thinks
it is a good field for another plumbing

HETTINGER COUNTY HERALD

The price of the Herald. published at
New England, was advanced the first of
January from SIC to SIS 0 per year.
The Herald was established three years
ago. and it is we'll worth the new price
charged. There are few country papers
in North Dakota the equal of the Herald
for quality and amount of news given
to readers. 1t publishes reliable news and
gives it while it is new. Messrs. John
and Martin Connolly are certainly max
ing good in the newspaper field and the
people of Hettinger county are to be
congratulated on having a publication
like the Herald.
One of the best things about the paper
at New England is the fact that it is
entirely independent. being owned solely
by Messrs. Connolly, who speak their
own minds when occasion requires.
North Dakota needs more newspapers
of this kind.

has always been a man of progressive
ideas and as a general rule he stood
with the Progressives in the house than
not, during the last session, and it was
an easy step for him into the ranks of
the newer elements in politics.
He is an attorney by profession, a
