Dan j. Porter and Archie Sillers,
Jr., were business visitors in the city
last week, returning to Calvin on
Christmas eve after participating in
the organization of a corporation
formed by the towns over the county
for the promotion of better farm lane
values in Cavalier county.
H. B. King, a special representa-
tive Of the Geo. w. Gets music house
of Grand Forks, was here a day or
two the fore part Of the week on bust
ness connected with the furniture sale
which has been in progress since the
first of the month at the H. E.. Price
store.
Hugh Mcdonald, who came here
from Ontario, Ore, about two weeks
since, to attend the funeral of his
mother, left Tuesday, returning to hi,
home in the west after making a
number of visits among relatives and
a round Of old friends here and in
Pembina county.
H. D. ALERT, accompanied by Mrs.
ALERT and their daughter, Mrs. Vera
Reilly, left Saturday to stay for the
winter at their California bungalow,
which is located at La Jol]a, one of
the quiet beach resorts on the south
ern Pacific coast near San Diego. In
the meantime their Langdon home
will be closed until their return to
the city, probably in May.
Earl Wegley, who left here the
beginning Of the winter with his sis
tiers for the home Of their father at
Williston, spent a part of the holiday
vacation here with his mother, Mrs.
Qualley. Since leaving Langdon,
Earl is understood as having enrolled
as a student at the agricultural COL
lege where he will take a business
course of study for a couple of years.
Ole T. Axvig, who is taking his
seat in the state legislature this SEES
sion as a representative from Cavalier
county for the third time, was a caller
on Langdon friends Monday. "Ole'
was a member Of the house in 1892,
over twenty years ago as a democrat,
later as a republican in 1901 and will
find the present session one in which
he has a large number Of new ac-
quaintances to make and is likely to
find few Of the old familiar faces that
frequented the legislative halls of the
state capital when he was there two
decades ago.
j. E. Pockrandt this week closed
up his Langdon home for a month and
perhaps a longer portion of the bal
ance of the winter season, leaving on
Tuesdays passenger accompanied by
Mrs. Pockrandt and their little daugh-
ter, Miss Dorothy, for a visit with his
brother in Nebraska and possibly at
points in the east before their return.
Langdon will continue to be the home
of the Pockrandts until along in the
coming summer, although Mr.. Pock-
randi mas disposed of his interests in
the Cavalier Co. Lumber Co., and will
ultimately move elsewhere.

An exception to this Is tho giant
