There being no further
business before the court at 4

previous to which, however,
occasion was taken by several
of our citizens, viz: Rev. Alex
Burr, Messrs. VIM. Stewart,
Geo. Niche, Geo. J. Coulthard
and Alex. McBain, to express
their satisfaction personally
and on behalf of the people. be-
cause of the fact of Bottineau
county being segregated from
Benson. by reason of which
our citizens, as well as the
county. have been saved the
expense, annoyance and dan
ger of attending court hun
dred miles distant and also
because of the holding of a
term of court, to enable those
who might desire. for like
economical reasons, to take out
their final citizen papers.
The judge responded to these
expressions of congratulations

One of the interesting things
which the last legislature Of
North Dakota did was the en-
actinent of the bill which in-
structed the state seed com
missioner to publish q list of
North Dakota growers who
claimed to be raising pedigreed
or improved seed, and to send
the list to any resident of North
Dakota upon application; this
list to be published on or be-
fore March Let Of each year.
There are, undoubtedly, a
large number of persons who
are growing high class seed
wheat and other types of seeds
who are unknown to the gener-
al public. It will be a matter
|of great benefit to all persons
dealing in seeds, and especially
to the farmers who wish to buy
good seeds to be able to procure
this list,
