. BITS OF PIONEER HISTORY. :

| w. .
. BY Jean McNaughton Stevens. .
| Our city of Minot is regaining her
former appearance, and in few weeks
no one will know there had been fire
in Minot.
Justice Roark is established in his
new quarters. Hope Bros. are doing q
fine trade. Nordby and Walders are
doing well along their line.
Louis Robinson, of Wallace, has sold
his bones to Stivyer of Minnewaukan.
\ Now, these bones were buffalo bones,
a proof of the presence of great herds
in the Mouse River Loop, and great
slaughter thereof in the late 7O's,
when Jay Cooks Isothermal Line
Road, the Northern Pacific, pushed
westward from Fargo to Bismarck
and stayed there for several years.
But Jay Cooke advertised diligently
in Europe, and hunters came from the
whole civilized world to hunt buffalo
in the beautiful Indian Summer on
the Plains of the Dacotah.
Then gathering the bones was a
great industry in the sos, and early
settlers tell many tale thereof, while
others tell of the long pile of bones
west of the Minot depot. When the
writer of this column saw it in the fall |
of '89 it looked like wood corded up |
for whole winters fuel for Minot. |
Buffalo paths to the watering places
were frequent in the Loop then. There
were Buffalo wallows, too. Just ask
Jim johnson and Angus Mcdonald
about the big bone pile.
District Attorney Lonergan and
Sheriff Tracey returned from Little
Muddy with $14OO for the county
treasury, the sums paid by saloons all
along the right of way for licenses.
For PHYS sake, how far did the juris-
diction of Ward county extend in those
days?
J. L. Cotton advertised in all the
papers along the Mouse River, the
coming Of his big brick machine from
Lisbon, which would turn out 10000
daily. Meanwhile Minot merchants
bought all he had on hand.
S. G. Cartwright advertised his
Cotswold sheep. How they must
have prospered, for in this fall of
1913, his son has just built House
boat, and is setting out down the Mis-
souri, and the Mississippi to New Or
cans. What great holiday!
The ladies of Minot gave Calico
Ball, and lots of the boys attended

Zach got in sealed envelope "did-

Folks living along the Manitoba
abroad were neighbors even at long
distances, and the fatal accident at
Norwich, when a freight ran into an
pen switch, and engineer and brake
nan were killed, the fireman fatally
INJURED, brought out kindly speeches

NIL the unexpired term of W. H. Fea-
gin, deceased. If elected, Mr.. Jack
Slappey. of Plains, Ga, will be my

Since entering the race for sheriff
many voters have requested US to add

B. Nicholson will be jailer, and give
his entire time to that important posi-
ton.
We will appreciate heartily the

PARCEL POST AND FARM PRO-
DUCTS
(Atlanta Journal.)

1t has been suggested that the Post
office department undertake an educa-
tional campaign to bring the apportun-
tiles of the parcel post more directly to
the attention of farmers and truck
growers. The rural districts have been
prompt to use the new service in get
ting supplies from the towns and cities
value as means for selling their own
products. This is a matter of large in
portance to the people as a whole AMI
any plan that will develop the parcel
post as a medium of direct exchange
between consumers and producers will
be distinctive benefit to the public.
If, as has been suggested, the Post.
office department would send to State
fairs throughout the country agents
would explain to the farmers Just how
the parcel post can be used for mail
ing eggs and butter and other table
commodities much practical good
would doubtless be accomplished.
There is still no little confusion COL :
corning the rules and rates of this
service. Even in cities where daily
newspapers took great pains to clarity
the details of the system, several
weeks elapsed before the public grew
familiar with its workings.
There are perhaps many people who
have table commodities they would like
to sell, but who lack information on
matters of packing and shipping. All
such problems could be cleared by a
competent representative of the postal
department and at the state fairs he
would have the opportunity of in
structing thousands of people.
Other means toward this end might
be found, The important fact is that
some plan to extend the use of the
parcel post os vehicle of trade be-
tween the city household and the farm
should be devised. For, it is thus that
the post will become a definite factor
in reducing the cost of living and in
quickening the business life ofarural
