OF creating such county and delegates
waiting on Governor Burke have been
successful in securing from him a
promise to delay further action until
such a time as the bureau Of Indian

raise the objection to the creation of
the county on the ground that the
members of their tribe number nearly
5000 in the territory, while there are
only between 200 and 900 while people
In the entire district. The Indians
also claim that the principal object in
creating county at this time is to Sc
cure the location of the county seat at
such point which may, in the future,
be far from desirable.
At any event there will be no fur

Devils Lake.-Two parties of rail-

Devils Lake.. and one Of them is
within few miles Of the city.
The Milwaukee railroad, which It is
known Is behind the Dakota Midland,
Is running survey from Jamestown
to this city and is within ten miles of
town. From Devils Lake the line will
continue north and east to Winnipeg.
The other party of surveyors is
working towards this city from Ege-
land, and represent the 500 railroad.
1t Is the plan Of the 500 to extend the
Brumbaugh branch north into Canada,
and south from Egeland to Devils Lake
and possibly to Kensal were connec-
ten will be made with the main line
OF the 500 for the twin cities.
Farmers visiting the city from the
northern part of the county report
that the 500 surveyors are busy at
work and are coming toward Devils
Lake. President Pennington announc-
ed few days ago that this extension
would be built this year as we'll as
the line from Medford to Drake
through Devils Lake.
There seems to be no doubt but that
the year 1911 will be great year in
the history of Devils Lake.

DIsFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much
The sores began as pimples, his lit
tie face was disfgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read Of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully AMI promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.

Equity Terminal Elevator Company
Organizes at FARGO.

OT00UtxOS az e0f10s
Fargo.-Fargo was chosen as the
headquarters of the Equity Elevator
company at the all-day meeting which
was held at the Fargo commercial club
rooms and at the Y. M. G. A. ia the
evening. L was decided that the an.
nual meeting should be held in this
city in January of each year at date
to be set by the board of directors.
Theo. g. Nelson, one Of the national
officers. was present ut the meeting
and on his motion ]. NJ. Anderson of
this city. one OF the hard workers for
the elevator movement, was chosen
chairman Of the meeting with F. II.
Squires as secretary.
The principal business that was at
tended to at the day meeting was the
adoption Of the constitution and by
laws and this was not done without
| great deal of discussion, in which
every member took part There were
forty-seven shares represented at the
Eeettng, this being majority of the
shares,
Unlike most corporations only one
vote can be cast by one man. no mat.
ter how many shares of stock he holds,
SO that man holding one share stands
on an equal footing with those who
hold large number of shares.
The subject of voting by proxy at
| the annual meeting was taken up at
some length and while it was the sense
of the meeting that tho proxy system
was one of the best, as was shown
by different insurance and other COM
pan!es which had adopted that system
| no agreement was reached on the sub
| ject. so that, at least for the present,
the proxies will go.
The meetings which were held in
the afternoon were full of interest
and the society was in session until a
late hour at night.
The project OF printing small pa
per in the city OF Fargo was taken up
and it is likely that the board of d.
rectors will cause one to be issued
which will give the farmers all the lat
est market quotations and all the news
pertaining to their business.
| At the close of the meeting the board
OF directors of the corporation held a
meeting and elected officers for the
year or until the next annual election
