We have been silent readers Of the
Independent Tor some time and have
enjoyed the items from different
places especially StringtoWn, the
same being our old home, and is at
present. We hope the regular CORE
spondent will excuse a few items from
another source.
Weather fine in Stringtown, every
thing booming. Some are blowing,
others complaining OF too much rain.
There may also be heard the beautiful
music Of few binders which will soon
become more cheerful by the addition
Of more machines. AS usual crops
are fair. Boost Stringtown.

LOGAN ITEMS.

A most enjoyable dance which re-
minded one of the good old times was
given by Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson and
family to celebrate the completion Of
their handsome and commodious barn.
The weather though threatening did
not deter their many friends from u.s.
semblfng and the good folk for miles
around gathered together to enjoy the
lavish hospitality of the popular host
and hostess. The music was excel
lently furnished by c. Auker and Carl
Anderson, Ole Sundre and art Crist-
wick. Supper, dainty and delicious
in fact a supper to be remembered,
was credit to the catering ability Of
Miss Annie Sundrie. The tripping
Of the light fantastic toe was cont n
ued until the 1ark's morning song re-
minded one that it was we'll nigh
chore time.
We have not at hand the exact fig
ures relative to the building permits
granted In our town during the month
OF July, but they are significant Of the
inevitable boom which, Logan is des-
tined to enjoy. Messrs. J. c.. Gard
and Sons had built an addition to the
already commodious block they occu-
Ply, and Mr.. Elmer Cook has erected
further buildings on his property.
We understand that our old friend,
John Deegan contemplates making an
addition to his bungalow shortly. With
the erection Of the new school our
town will assuredly grow beyond rec

of the moths are wingless, and can be

preventing the laying of eggs for next

preparation of "Tangle- Foot fly pa

There is a variety also that does not
come till spring, so this would have
to be repeated, and if caused by the
flying moth, of course the only pro-
lection would be by spraying. Prof.
Waldron said that a study Of these
moths should be made to discover
their habits and report made to the
department.

Just previous to the shooting IN

thereafter Stewart is charged with

3 SOME. FINE VEGETABLES.

d. Fl J Funderberg of Surrey sent us
in some fine samples of his EARLY Ohio
potatoes, each one weighing nearly a
pound. He also sent turnip which
is large enough to make good meal
for two or three families. North Da-
kota does not take the back seat for
any state when it comes to raising
Vegetables, or anything else for that
matter. Too many of our farmers do
not pay enough attention to the grow
ing Of potatoes, beans and other gar
den truck, which can be raised with
considerable profit on a large scale.
Let the slogan be more vegetables ana
less wheat. -

The dance given by George Germany

not very decided success, owing to
the fact that the management was
compelled to request the departure of
certain people who became too bois-

people cannot 80 to a dance or any
social gathering and conduct them
selves as gentlemen. Such actions as
were INDUCED in could be likened to
some heather indulgences At only for
uncivilized people. It seems that the

THE SUSPENSION or DIR. GRANT

AS was stated in the Gazette, the

Confession Of Faith" and suspending
him from exercising the functions Of q

found to hold
In sustaining the charge that DR..
Grant had in writing and sermons dis.
credited the deity of the Lord Jesus
Christ, the commission found that his
teachings DR.. Grant had failed 10 ascribe
TO the Son of God all the attributes II
Him which could not belong to the
hoiies and wisest Of men
Sustaining the charge that Dr. Grant
had in writing and sermons discredited
The doctrine Of Christ's mediatoriaI
office, the commission found that he
lad advanced ideas tending to weaken
and disparage faith in such doctrine CT
Tie need for it.
In sustaining the charge that DR..
Grant had disseminated views discred-
,tiug the Holy Scriptures as the actual
word OF God, the com mission found
that he bad ut various times impugued
the vcracity of the Bible teachings and
had made statements which tended 10
drcst the words Of Holy Writ OF their
authority.
After stating that Dr.. Grant was un-
doubtedly guilty OF an offense under
the rules OF the Book Of Discipline, the
report said:
While the com mission does not
question the right OF any man TO inter.
pref the Scriptures as he pleases, yet
We do not think be should teach doc

PEERING INTO THE FUTURE.

A stranger with 3 mysterious ma
chine appeared on one OF the most
prominent corners Of the city today
and announced that he was prepared
to exhibit the picture OF the future wife
or husband Of any person who would
nav small assessment. He also pro-
claimed that he would draw the horo-
scope OF any one desiring TO have a
panorama OF the incidents in connec-
ton with bis or her future mundane
existence. Numbers Of people gazed
curiously and suspiciouSly at the ma-
chine and It's owner, and some invested,
not as they stated, that they believed
in claims Of the man or his continuance,
but as a matter of curiosity only. The
old English Reader, pored over by our
grandfathers, contained the following
observation: The future is yelled by
hand Of mercy" Yet a large per-
centage Of the human race have always
had the temerity to attempt to pry
into the future. Should the veil be
lifted such thoughtless folks would find
themselves in more miserable plight
than they are at present from the fact
that while 10 the plod OF life we may
pass through pleasant scenes, hills Of
difficulty and dismal valleys are also
encountered in the road.

such are really maintaining nuisances
