ally maintaining q great reputation for
anecdotal even II Munchaueen like,
ability. So let us hasten to extend to
our friend Mr. Alfred Stredwick, who
we believe was raised on the roast
beef and Yorkshire of Cd England,
our congratulations on being first to
enter the field in the premium contest
of this paper on Diversified Farming.
In contribution which breathes con-
fidence, energy and ultimate success
In every line he tells me story Of
what 10 possible of accomplishment
in the very leanest Of years in tnis
country. But that Is not all for DO it
noted, 1t 10 . voice from Logan that
tells to the surrounding country tha.
there 10 no need of failure and though
Logan as district has perhaps been
lAvishly blessed by nature, yet the
mora Of his teaching remains to be
read, marked, learned and inwardiy
digested by our neighbors, one and all.
Though somewhat late, we cannot
consider these notes complete without
reference to the successful dance
given by our friend, Bert Beebe, at
Beebe's Hall. Everybody was there
and right merry time they had too,
dancing till we'll nigh chore time in
the morn Mrs. Beebe was untiring
in her efforts to make all comfortable,
and Bert, why he worked himse.f to
a standstill. The Logan orchestra
furnished the music, and we dare not
relate all the nice complimentary re-
marks we overheard concerning then
efforts. Bert they are credit to Lo-
gan. .-s..
The 500 Co have evidently decid-
ed not to open the depot at Logan this
winter. Wei it is unfortunate that
Logan is on the 500 in one respect,
but their neglect will hasten the con-
struction of that electric loop line
which win in the near future connect
up Logan, Surrey and Minot. Then
the 500 will not need depot at Lo-
gan.
Jno Deegan is to enter the chicken
business in the spring and has already
arranged to purchase some full blood
ed stock.
Some good lady while attending the
18th July celebration ut Logan last
year, left her pocket book in Mr.. J.
C. Cards store. That gentleman IN
anxious to restore it to the rightful
owner. Here's were our circulation
counts.
Mr.. Dave Forbes and his two sons
made Journey to Minot on Saturday
asst. Travelling with a load must
have been hard.
Hans Ross is back again among Old
friends once more.
Miss Annie Sundrie left recently for
Iowa. and will be absent till spring
visiting relatives and friends.
We understand that Logan will soon
be able to boast a fully qualified
veterinary. Bert Beebe hopes to Sc
sure his final diploma early this
spring. rE
One thing Logan does need is a
butcher and a real good opening
awaits the enterprising.
We have just received a car of
fresh vegetables consisting of ruta-
bages, carrots, onions, cabbage and
potatoes" So reads an ad in last
weeks issue. Truly We need diver
sified farming, for surely all such 40
these cannot only be grown, but grown
in quantities, sufficient to supply Mi
not's needs, aye and build UP also
an export trade. Logan has every
natural advantage to ensure her be-
coming the principal source of supply
in truck gardening, milk, butter, poul-
try, eggs and all else that goes to feed
the growing population of q rapidly
developing Minot. We already have
quite footing, thanks to Messrs
Brand. Stredwick Kearfoot and Saug-
stad, among others, but it behooves
each and every farmer to strive to
produce all that Is demanded and
thus make no longer necessary the
shipping in Of car loh Of what can
and should be home grown products.
Why If they had Logan away down
In Texas or Florida, every insignia
cant land man would be mailing illu-
strated pamphle descriptive Of her
wonderous productiveness to every
state in the union.
