The long-winded fight over the site
for the new $50, 900 courthouse, which
will be erected at Stanley in the spring,
was settled. The commissioners have
decided on a site donated by J. T. Cap

the track.
The question Of having more squir-
rels put in the Minot. parks was
brought up at a meeting Of the park
board. Park Com. F. B. Lambert has
just returned from the east, where he
saw a great many large squirrels In,
the parks, and he is enthusiastic over
the idea Of having many more of the
I little animals put in the parks. The
commissioners Will decide Wnat 10 90
in the neal future. The commissioners
warn the boys of Minot not to use
slingshots and throw stones at the
squirrels in the parks.
Five cars of cattle nave been ship
ped from Streeter to Bauman and
Torch of Hartly, Ia, where they will
be finished on corn and put on the
market. Messrs. Bauman and Lorch
says they nave plenty Of corn, their.
corn this year yielding seventy-tive
bushels an acre. They are both large
Farmers Inc feeders, owning together
100 acres Of land worth $3.50 an acre.
The cattle were bought at the Young
ranch, south of Streeter, and they
were in fine condition and as good a
bunch for the purpose as ever lett
Streeter.
u It is probably that Andrew Sven
sons wheat field near Charlson will
have to be surveyed to settle a dispute
concerning the yield per acre. 1t is
reported that a wager had been made
that it would yield twenty-five bush
els. The total crop was 1928 bushels
5 and the owner, who says the field con
) tains eighty acres, figures the yield to
| be nearly twenty-five bushels, while
/ others declare that field must contain
ninety acres, in which case the yield
would be a little over nineteen bush
els. 1t is hoped that this difference
will soon be settled to the satisfaction
? Of all parties.

to Montpelier, in a recent interview sa
l. that Montpelier is getting it's share
to grain this fall, though less than it OIL

mated that the Midland hauled O.
$50, 900 bushels of grain last fall tn
previously was arbitrarily to Mon
pelier, while Montpelier. shipped abo
at 500, 900 bushels or more. The Teco,
