CARROT RIVER
VALLEY CROP
CONDITIONS NEVER WERE BET
TER IN WONDERFUL WHEAT
FIELDS or CANADA, WHERE
WORLDS PRIZE WHEAT WAS
RAISED.

". M. Rohan, district manager of
the Luse Land co. of st. Paul received
this morning the following message
from Mr.. Everett, general manager of
the company who has been spending
the last week looking over our Cana
dian propositions:
Splendid rains throughout Carrot
river district. Small grain, vegeta-
bles and grasses are the best I have
seen anywhere this year. The Mel
fort manager OF the Canadian Bank of
Commerce says they have thirty farm
er depositors worth over $4,000 each
and all made their money farming here
within seven years. On account two
new railroads, Melfort town property
has increased over 500 per cent in six
months. and land will be selling for
mor than 800 per acre within five
years. In my opinion this is the best
mixed farming district in Canada and
unsurpassed anywhere in United
States
From this you will note that the
opportunities of making investments in
the Carrot river district cannot be ex-
3ceIied in the Canadian northwest to-
day. When you stop to consider that
you can purchase farm lands today at
$22 an acre, which in five years will
undoubtedly be worth 800, you are
making the mistake OF your life in
not taking advantage of your oppor-
tunity n going up with us on our
next excursion-July 10.
Only SIS for the round trip. $3.50
for board and berth per day. we are
the only real estate company who W
and operate their own cars. We also
own the lands we sell-we are not
agents: and when you buy from us you
deal direct with the owner. Write,
phone or call on w. M. Rohan, Stern
block, Fargo. Make reservations early.

CALLED FOR DEWEY
and ROOSEVELT
NOAH GRIFFITH IN CITY JAIL
MAKES PLEA TO ROOSEVELT
AND ADMIRAL DEWEY TO COME
AND LiRERATE HlM-ExPEcTs
100000 FROM THEM.

Has Mr.. Roosevelt conner" asked
Noah Grifith of the jailer when the
latter made his rounds at the city Jail
this morning. Griffith was talking a
great deal too much on the streets
last night and was picked UP as being
a little demented.
Il sent a wireless to Mr.. Roosevelt
early this morning to send me $100,0 900
and / received an answer that he
would be here by 10 o'clock. If / Just
knew where Admiral Dewey was this
morning / would try and locate him.
You see I used to be with Mr.. Roose-
welt during the war when / was one of
the rough riders out in Arizona and
then for awhile / was with Dewey.
Neither of them are chums of mine but
they know me quite well and could
vouch for me here among these people.
Griffith has not been identified as
belonging around Fargo. He is thought
to be quite deranged and provided
considerable amusement for those
about the police station this morning.
1t has not yet been decided what viii
be done with him but 1t is presumed
he will be brought before the county
sanity board.

W. E. Davis has Just compiled a
statement showing the amounts paid
in under that law in each county In
the state during the last fiscal year.
The year ended June 30 and during
that period the total collected was
1886, 4O4.O6-over a quarter million
dollars. OF this amount nearly $780,
900 was collected from estates Of per-
sons living outside Of Kansas. That
total is s92, S63.S6.
Atchison county paid IN more un-

The tax on the estate Of the late

HOW TO LIVE.

cranky husband, | am tempted to
wonder If eternal vigilance is not at
fault-fallen asleep like the careless
deck watch, and letting human lives

they might have outridden all the

There Is many a home today where

This is surely an easy country to
do Housekeeping in and don't have
to heat water to wash and don't boil

not be half as bad as in a week in

Bugs or fleaS, so we are blessed that
way. The water is softer than our

wish he had not bought such a big
place and house. That has gotten
me so dissatisfied. My kitchen is
more than twice as large as it was in
Hoismgton, but it is cool. It has two
outside doors and two windows. The
small stove stands in one corner and
the wood goes out quickly so don't
suffer with the heat. We bought the
stove with the house. l have not felt
the heat half as bad as in Kansas
