BITS OF PIONEER HISTORY.

1 VI 1ONls
The Willard Leader notes how Post
master MacNamara has been paying
out of his own pocket for the express
company to bring the daily mail on
from Devils Lake, thru Towner, rath-
er than have it go thru by the Star
route thru Minnewaukan and Willard,
for Email takes a week to get to the
outside"
So the Leader advises the Minot
Tribune to get busy with a numerous
ly signed petition, and send it, via the
postmaster of Towner, for his en-
dorsement and recommendation, to the
Postmaster General at Washington.
So Postmaster MacNamara was a
public benefactor for a while, and the
Leader says his chances for reim-
bursement Of those expenses was
small.
Maybe that was part of his excuse
when he was brought before his bet
tiers at Devils Lake, later on.
Items CLEANED by the Leaders local
reporter in Minot make good reading
to pioneer. Regular train service as
far as Towner in the summer of '87.
The line was pushing westward from
MinOt, and much work went on west
of Towner, but regular service was
not carried on to Minot till the fall.
James C. Wilson moved to Minot
to supply milk from his fine dairy
herd. Comrade Wilson still lives on
his homestead on the bench land
above Velva and enjoys the sunset of
life.
Fargo people were noted in Minot
looking up fresh locations. Lumber
dealers were prominent.
Others, including John Buesley and
William Mckay, were loading up
goods to follow the railroad outfits
and supply them.
| MinOt citizens were circulating a
petition to incorporate in order to
shut out gambling institutions. But
Minot will today aver that is is eter-
nal vigilance that is the price of lib
erty.
Rev. w. C. Hockett of Minot drove
out to Black P. O. east along the riy-
er, to hold services, and organize a
Sunday school. So Minot was busy
with good works, and answering read
lily the question, "Who is my neigh
bor?"
Minot planned First National
Bank. We believe that is the build
ing now occupied by the Hon. Jim
Johnson, as an Office, at the corner of
Main st. and Third. The men who
financed the bank came from St.
Louis.
R. A. Chapman did fine business
in his restaurant and his patrons had
to buy meal tickets, so they had to
nav before thew cOnld cat Well ono
fine old citizen in the Mouse river val
ley prizes meal ticket he had to buy
in the Merchants Hotel in St. Paul
in the early sos, before they would
let him sit down beside the big poll
ticians who planned things for Da-
kota Territory then. Just ask Aleck
Mckenzie.
The first school for Minot was open
ed May, 1887, and was "lots better
than letting the children play in the
street, and Minot is noted for chill
dren.'

 SECURE RELIEF

One Way in Which Home steaders Under the Recla- nation Service Can Com ply With the New Order and Dispose of Their Ex- cess Holdings in Such a Way as to Not Only Get Their Money Back, But Make a Good Profit on All Time and Money Spent
Arizona republican., 1913-12-13

Notice to Homesteaders:
 While the new order from the Sec retary cf the Interior that all home steaders' under the Reclamation Ser vice will have t. dispose of all their holdings in excess of 40 acres. either by assignment or relinquishment. has caused consternatiOn among all those affected, the result will not be so serious IS first thought and any hOmesteader affected by this new ruling should be able to get back not only all he has spent, but q good profit besides IT seems generally understood that all who have made final proof can assign their excess holdings, and all who have not yet made final proof can relinquish. Un- less further orders come from the department or the General Land Office, the lands relinquished can be re-entered by others and there is no one having lands under any of the canals who should not be able to se- cure enough from prospective entry men for making relinquishments to more than reimburse them for all money spent as well as making a handsome profit, and still have 40 acres left with water
 We wish to state to homesteaders desiring to protect themselves and secure as much as possible for their ex- cess holdings. that We have numerous clients ready to purchase assi gnm ents or relinquishments and those who wish to be on the safe side and realize all they can before any fur
 ther orders come from the Depart ment or the General Land office would do well to consult us at once. Our long experience in Southern Cal
 ifornia and our numerous selling agencies there enable us to secure the best prices and the quickest re- suits for those who have Salt River valley lands to sell. either patented or unpatented. Call and see us at once and let us know what you have. D. w. HALL X CO. 21 North First Avenue

HOW A CIGAR ACTED AS WIT
 NESS


 A man was travelling in France He was occupying a first class coEport- ment and was smoking an excellent cigar.
 At a certain station woman was admitted to the compartment who was very elegantly attired. The man continued to smoke his cigar with out any violation of conventions and manifested toward the woman a courteous and respectful indifference This seemed not to please her, and she began to make efforts to attract his attention. He appeared not to notice them. and she then attempted to engage him in conversation. He courteously resisted the advances and remained in his place, calmly smok- ing his cigar.
 The train moved on for a consd- erable distance. The woman continu- ed to make efforts to attract the mans attention and used all the
 Wiies of her sex to accomplish her
 purposes. He. however. was skill ful at resistance and consistently re-
 fused to converse with her The wo- mans pride was aroused and she de- termined that she would wreak ven
  panion Calculating in her mind as to what she might do to accomplish this purpose, she decided upon d bold plan
 While the train was moving along at moderate speed she gave forth several loud screams. The nearest guard soon entered the compartment ! and found her crying on a seat. Wher asked what had occurred to her she | accused the man sharing the com partment with having struck and in i suited her.
 | The guard immediately called in the 1 officials of the train and the woman 1 told them a story of advances beins made to her by her fellow traveller ! who she asserted, had attempted tC i engage her in conversation repeated lily until she had been forced to in sist that he desist and that he there lupon had struck her and had in suited her.
