| open for settlement, but all. or at
least nearly all. Of this choice land has
now been taken up and prices will, as
a natural consequence, begin to soar.
The large ranches have gradually
been sold, and, where thousands OF
cattle and sheep roamed the prairie in
former years one will now find sub
stantial farm houses and barns and
well titled fields, Only a few wears
ago the late State Senator McGillivrey
OF Dickinson, afterwards register of
the United States landofiice at Bis
marck, in a discussion that came up
before the senate as to the compare
tive wealth of the eastern and western
part Of North Dakota, declared that
were an imaginary line drawn through
the middle of the state from north to
south it would be found that the west
ern half Of the state was the weather
OF the two. OF course members OF the
senate from the eastern part of the
state disputed this on the ground that
there were so many large well improv-
ed farms in the east half. Senator
McGillivrey then cited the many large
cattle, sheep and horse ranches to be
found on the Missouri slope and con-
western part of the state had more
money on deposit than any banks in
the eastern half OF the state could
boast Of and that he would furnish
facts and figures to prove his conten-
tions. There are many fine towns and
villages in the slope country now,
where these ranches were located, and
all are surrounded by good towns most
Of which have fine improvements.
The Homestead was established in
the summer of 1886, nearly twenty
five years ago, by Geo. A. Bryant faith
er of the present owner and publisher.
The first edition was published Friday,
June II, 1886. The elder Mr.. Bryant,
like his co-laborer in the newspaper
vineyard, Mr. Streeter, found but few
settlers here to welcome his coming,
but can look back with satisfaction on
the remarkable growth of this section
Of the state since that time. Mr.. Bry-
ant, the elder, is now, and has been for
the past eight years, county Judge of
Logan county, and previous to that
time was register of deeds for several
years.
Farmers complain when they have
partial crop failure, or, If they have
but twenty bushels of wheat to the
acre when they expected twenty-five,
but the prosperous farmers of the Mis-
souri, slope have nothing to complain
of compared with the hardships and
privations of the pioneer settlers. In
1886 there was an almost total crop
failure and it required courage and
forebearance on the part OF the set
tiers, and business men who were able
TO extend them credit, to begin the fol-
lowing season. Hon. e. A. Williams OF
Bismarck, who was member OF the
territorial legislature, introduced a bill
in February. 1887, providing for the
furnishing of seed grain and assistance
for those whose crops were destroyed
by drought.
Since the advent OF the railroads, in
this and adjoining counties and the
succession of good crops until last sea-
son, farmers and business men have
no reason to complain, and. there is
every reason to believe that their pros
perity will continue.

TWO YOUTHS DO
RUNAWAY stunt

Larimore, N. D., April 15.--Friday
afternoon Eddie Roberts and Salmer
Paulson became tired OF "home. sweet
home" and decided to go to the wild
and wooly'' west. The youngsters LETT
here on a freight. going as far as
Devils Lake where they climbed into
the tool box of the engine, beating
1t to Minot, from there they went to
Mondak on a freight.
According to Eddie Roberts story he
was grabbed by the police at Williston
and asked where his pal was, as he was
wanted for stealing revolver holster
from the station agent at Lone Tree.
Eddie says he escaped while the cop
went to get a drink of water, taking a
freight to Mondak where he got "cold
feet" Fearing he would be arrested he
started for home, arriving here Mon
day night.
The Paulson boy is still In Montana.
Eddie seems to think that he has
about enough of trying to be hero in
the wild, wild west.

COWARDLY ACT
AT DEVILS LAKE

Devils Lake, N. D., April 49,
Last week Mrs. John #. Cowan re-
ceived an anonymous letter. going
into scurrilous details Of the trial
OF her husband, also gloating over
the fact that her social enjoyment
where she has long resided as an
honored member of our city, would
be curtailed.
Just before this the little daugh-
ter OF Judge Cowan, in school in
st. Paul, received a letter contain
ing large number of newspaper
clippings from papers opposed to
her father, up to that time she was
kept in ignorance Of her fathers
trial, on reading these she became
sick and physician was called.
This is the manner and kind Of
men that are fighting the judge
here, at least in some instances IL
seems. Comment is unnecessary.
Anyone that would do this in the
hour Of anguish. to two helpless
members of the judges family is
certainly coward and sneak.
Some have suggested that per-
haps 1t was the man that shot Dan
Brennan.

YOUNG WOMAN
DIES IN ROOM
YOUNG WOMAN FROM MONTANA
FOUND DEAD IN BOOMING
HOUSE AT WlLLlSToN.

wiliston. N. D., April 15.-The body
Of young woman was found dead
in room in the Trimmer rooming
house on Main street. The coroner
was summoned and an inquest started
which is still being held. 1t was found
that the girls name was Margaret
Machines and that she had arrived
in Williston a few days before from
Medicine Lake, Mont. She stopped at
different hotels in the city until Thurs
day when she hired the room in which
she was found dead. 1t Is the opin-
ion OF the coroner that she died about
Thursday evening. To say the least
she died under very suspicious cir
cumstances and the verdict of the COR
oners jury may throw some light on
the ease. Three brothers and a BROTH
er-in-law Of the deceased arrived in
the city the first of the week and
took the remains to Darcy, N. D.. for
burial.

in adjusting the spinal vertebrate so
