The Fourth out here was very quiet;
a few of our people went to Arcadia,
others to Bismarck, while many re-
manned at home. While to many the
Fourth always brings forth oppor-
tunities for a ''real good time'' and
much happiness, often, ere the sun
sets on that ~eventful day, gloom is
cast over many a home, because of
some serious accident. Such was the
case when young Mr.. Huff was acct
dentally drowned in the lake at Iron
Mountain, shortly after noon on the
Fourth.
VIM. Boring started out last We'd
nesday with his thresher; his first run
being at E. E. Chambers, who had
something over 200 bushels of wheat;
next he threshed for Auburn Ed
monds, whose wheat made 1856 bushels
from eight acres-17 bushels per acre.
This is the best yield per acre we have
heard of so far. The quality of wheat,
so far as we have been able to ascer-
tain, is first class.
Mr.. Boring certainly does first class
work with his thresher, and is getting
all he can do. We are reliably inform
ed that he has ordered a self-feeder
attachment for his thresher, which he
is expecting to arrive within the next
few days.
r. E. Johnston last week, also, or
dered, and brought from the r. r., a
new separator, which he will use, as
he already has a traction engine.
Houston McColl will open school at

which he received 80 cents per bushel.

As a result Of the very dry weather
which has prevailed over this locality
since early in April, meadows and
oats are almost an entire failure, while
potatoes have been very materially
damaged. Corn, though very much
retarded in growth, will make a fair
yield, II we should get plenty of rain
through July and August.
To-day (Monday) we are having q
slow, steady rain, the first in two
weeks, and 1t Is hoped that we may
get a ground -soaker.
