Price FOR BUTTER
AND EGGS ADVANCES
WAR HAS MARKED EFFECT ON
THESE COMMODITIES-U. S. is
SHIPPING EGGS TO ENGLAND.

April storage eggs are selling for
making them worth SO a case in Mi
not. w. H. Hendrix, manager of the
Northern Produce Co., believes they
will be worth no less than fifty or six
ty cents dozen in Minot this winter.
A nickel apiece for eggs will be high.
Last year we were importing eggs
from Russia and other European coun-
tries. The other day we shipped a
thousand cases Of eggs to England
and they wanted more but there was
no more room on board the vessel. A
year ago we imported 10000 dozen
eggs from China. Fresh eggs are
selling for less in Minot today than
storage eggs. You can look for big
advance soon.
Butter too is high. Good creamery
butter is selling in Minot for IS cents
a pound. Mr.. Hendrix expects it will
go up five cents pound next week.
Mr.. Hendrix expects to sell butter at
wholesale at 35 cents before Christ
mas. His concern is now paying 81
cents for butterfat but will pay more
soon. Farmers are paying more atucn-
ti~ n to their crops than to their COVE,
ard little cream is coming in.
The farmer with a few cows ard
several dozen good chickens is bound
to make some money. He is getting
better price for his wheat than in
many years and feed and all kinds of
grain are commanding fancy prices.
The farmers are bound to benefit by
the war across the water.

MINOT, NORTH DAKOTA.

The hunting season opens Monday
September 7, and it will pay all who
intend to do any shooting to observe
the game law very carefully. Chief
Game Warden McCutcheon will en-
force the law more rigidly than ever
if possible, this season. He is ap-
pointing his deputies and will have no
less than rs men at work in every
county in his district. Get your IL
cense early. A license costs only a
dollar, and be sure to carry it with
you when you hunt. A deputy has a
right to ask to see your license and if
you do not have it with you when you
hunt, you are apt to be arrested. A
farmer may hunt on his own land
without license, but he is subject to
arrest if he hunts before the opening
of the season. A nonresident who
owns land here cannot hunt unless he
secures a non-resident's license at a
cost of $25. Game wardens are warm
ed to play no favorites and if they do
not do their duty in upholding the law,
they are subject to arrest themselves.

Last spring the secretary of the AS
ISOLATION of Commerce called meet
ings of the ladies of Minot and plans
were laid for the greatest cleaning up
that Minot had ever seen. There was
great enthusiasm for time. Com
mittees were appointed and arrange
ments made to grow beautiful flowers
where only weeds had thrived before.
Some good was undoubtedly accom-
plished, but as soon as automobiling
became good, many of those who had
been most enthusiastic, forgot all
about the plans, some allowing great
patches Of weeds to thrive at their
very door. We respectfully call the
attention of the street commissioner
to the law which will enable him to
enter mans premises and cut down
his weeds in case this work is neglect
ed and the same may be taxed against
the property. For goodness sake, cut
those weeds.

fall blowing done in September. The
harvest season began two or three
weeks earlier than usual this year.

DEALING WITH HORSE
THIEVES IN EARLY TIMES

Away back in 1884, some of our old
timers will remember, hundred AID
fifty stolen horses were brot to this
locality by band of thieves, who
were operating both in this country
and in Canada. The horses from the
states were run into Canada and the
Canadian horses brot to the states.
Man! Of the horses were taken to
where Chas. Scribner now lives be-
yond Burlington and hidden in sta
bic built back underground. ,s..
A vigilance committee from Mon
tana tracked the thieves here, captur-
ed several Of them and took them
away, presumably for trial. Months
later, the bones of the thieves were
found at the head waters Of Snake
creek in Mclean county. Whether
the thieves tried to get away and
we're shot or whether they were DELHI
erately put out Of existence will never
be known. We believe that five Of
them met their death.

HOW BURLINGTON
CANE. TO Be NAMED
"JIM" JOHNSON GIVES SOME IN
TERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE
PIONEER DAYS-HOW HE GOT
THE SIGNERS FOR BURLING-
TON POSTOFFICE.

There has never been a really good
history of Ward county written and
undoubtedly some energetic writer
will publish such book some day.
The early history of Ward county
could be furnished by such old time
citizens as James Johnson, Jean Nc
Naughton Stevens and others.
Mr.. Johnson took a very important
part in the pioneer development of this
county and has since been one of the
most important figures in its growth.
"Jim" Johnson came here in the
very earliest days of western North
Dakota, settling at what is now Bur-
lington in 1888. He tells an interest
ing story of how the Burlington post
office was established and how it came
by it's name.
The pioneers had been without mail
for months and "Jim" Johnson was
delegated to see if a postoffice could be
established. A petition was sent in
asking that it be named Cotton, after
Joseph Cotton, who long ago passed
away. There was Cotton postoffice
located in what is now South Dakota
and for this reason that name could
not be adopted. The Assistant Post
master General was publisher of the
Hawkeye at Burlington, la. He sug-
gested that the postoffice be named
Burlington, after Burlington, la.
Mr.. Johnson found it hard to get
enough signers to his petition for the
Burlington postoffice. He tells story
that has never before been published
and which is very interesting.
He started on his drive and his first
signer was Pat Connor, Squaw Man,
living rs miles away on Snake Creek.
John Satterlund, now known as "King
john" was located at Burnt Creek,
nearly hundred miles away. Chas.
Willer Of Spring Coulee, a hundred
miles distant, refused to sign because
he said he was figuring on postofice
himself. "Jim" grew little disheart-
ened and drove on to Bismarck where
he conferred with Colonel Lounsberry,
who was postmaster at that place.
The Colonel rounded up nice lot of
signers at Bismarck and "Jim" got his
postoffice.
The mail was first carried from
Washburn to Willard, located on Win
tering river. First the settlers car
ried the mail themselves and finally a
carrier was paid $50 a month. He was
a half breed named Gardipee and he
carried the mail in the winter with
dogs. One time the dogs became hun
cry and ate the harness, interfering
with the service.
w. L. Millar and some good old
scouts used to drive to Mr.. Johnson's
home and wait until midnight often
for their mail, which often arrived
weeks late.
James Mitchell, former county
treasurer and until recently publisher
of the Fairview, Mont, Times, has
moved to farm near Fairview.
The laying Of the cornerstone of the
Calvary Presbyterian church at Ry-
der will occur Sunday, Aug. %. Rev.
N. P. Crosse will preside and the SER
mon will be preached by Rev. T. U.
Richmond of Minot. An address will
be given by Governor L. B. Hanna.

The hunting season opens Monday,
Sept. Z at sunrise. Don't do any
hunting the Sunday before. Many will
be tempted to do some shooting, but
be good sportsman and be patient.
Have respect for the game law. No
good citizen will do otherwise. And
if you own an auto be careful not 70
do any shooting from it. The law is
very plain in this particular.

Minot has first class sewer sys-
tenn, extending to all parts of the city
and yet right in some of the best sec
tions of the residential districts you
can count outbuildings by the score, no
attempt ever being made to remove
the filth. They are not only source
of annoyance to the people living near
by, but are not conducive to good
health. Our health officer should
make the rounds and see that these
conditions are remedied. Treat every
body alike. An official should not be
a respecter of persons and in his offic-
ial capacity should know no friends.
We have an ordinance covering this.
Either see that it is enforced or wipe
it from the records.

At small fire the other morning,
crowd of several thousand gathered
within five minutes. People rushed
from their shops and started running
in the direction of the blaze. Autos
carrying great loads of those curious
to see the confagration, tore down the
street thru the dust. The writer ad-
mits that he was in the crowd and af-
ter it was over, we wondered what &C
tual good had been accomplished. Too
often the crowd gets in the way of
the fire fighters. Seldom it is that
anyone Of the spectators are called
for assistance. We are curious lot
and if there is anything of an excit-
ing nature, we all want to see it.

AVIAN COUNTRIES
TO REMAIN NEUTRAL.

R. A. Nestos, who has studied the
European war situation carefully, de-
clares that there is little danger of
the Scandinavian countries becoming
involved in the struggle. Russia
would like to engage in a conflict with
Norway in order to strengthen her
naval position by getting an outlet on
the open sea, but England would take
hand were any effort made. The
Scandinavian countries will very like
ly remain neutral.

The three things that some farm
ers detest the most are the milk pail,
the slop bucket and the manure fork
yet according to the best farming
methods, and those quite generally
employed on North Dakota farms,
they are quite essential to the man on
