The hill-section of this city, too is pretty slippery, and gum shoes come in hand in navigating some of the stretches around Summit and Prospect streets, and the side streets leading to them.

VISITOR FROM MICHIGAN.

Porter Dent of Vicksburg, Mich,
is spending a vacation in North Da-
kota visiting J. A. Bursack and fam
lily at First avenue north. Mr.. Dent
has been in North Dakota before for
brief period, and says that he is
much interested in the way farming
is carried on here. Mr.. Dent has
been engaged in farming in Michi-
gan for number of years and is ia
miliar with the changing methods
and the successful efforts of some
Michigan farmers to advance agrl-
culture to it's proper station among
the industries of the country. With
the many inventions and, not the
least important, the improved news
paper and news service which farm
ers now get, much of the reluctance
of young people to stay on the farm
is being done away with.
Mr.. Dent finds that getting better
acquainted is a great help, not only
to the towns, but the farmers them
selves, and that the exchange OF
many commodities and products be-
tween the town and the country is
becoming largely facilitated through
the small advertisements in the
weekly newspapers.

Law MATTERS IN
DISTRICT COURT
Jury Recalled for July 49,
Court Cases to be Heard

Judge Coffey dissolved the injunc-
ton asked for by certain residents in
northern Barnes county, to prevent
the construction of a schoolhouse.
Attorney G. S. Shippey of Hope ap-
peared for the petitioners and At
torney Richie of Valley City for the
respondents. Considerable interest
was taken in the matter, as number
of residents from the vicinity of
Hope were present at the hearing.
The ground on which the injunction
was asked forwas the alleged lack of
proper notice by publication.
Tuesday there was a protracred
session OF the court lasting until
am, the case involving the running
of lines and erection of certain
monuments on section corners of
Nora township, Barnes county.
Mandamus was asked requiring
such action to be taken. Murf1n &

SURVEYORS FOR
MIDLAND R. R,
Suggestion for I'm proved City
Service for Passengers
and Shippers

Renewed reports are rife in the
vicinity of Spiritwood lake of the
construction of the line from near
Clementsville to the east end of the
lake. Surveyors were active in that
vicinity again last week running lines
and making further calculations. 1t
lis expected that something definite
will be learned regarding this pro-
posed extension on the arrival Of
President Van Brunt.. In case
the branch is built to the lake, which
now seems highly probable, a bust
ling little town will develop there
and in addition to the present amuse-
ment attractions there will be an ele-
vator and possibly other business in
dustries installed.
The construction of the line to
Grand Forks, which also seems high
ly probable, will mean a great deal
to jamestown. If the business men
and residents of the city put their
shoulders to the wheel and make the
proper inducement, it is believed that
the Midland company will bring it's
depot or passenger service directly
into the city and also change the
freight house to a more convenient
location than at present. A proposed
passenger service on the line by
means of motor cars could be easily
arranged to come west along Main
street and be operated the same as a
street car line. This increased pas
senger service would be big ad--
vantage to the city. The suggestion
may be worth looking into by resi-
dents of the city.
