and had only to go 1877.
The Number Grew.
Sunday night he reached the 1000
mark, and realized that instead of be-
ing 1000 dandelions in the lawn, as
he had thought, there were nearer
10000.
This is thought to have temporari-

he walked in his sleep, and was
found sailing the peoples in the de-

He was put to bed with ice on his

permitted to have a salt shaker. To-

BEAUTIFYING THE TOWN.

Grand Forks, June 4.-North Dako-

the praiseworthy idea that it pays to
beautify the city and they are going
at it in various ways. For instance
out at Neville in Nelson county, a
bunch of progressive citizens went to
the river and dug something like S.

to plant along n OF the principal
streets of. the town. Grand Forks
Nursery men, say that stock secured
in this way is almost sure to grow.
The planting of the trees was made
something of an event at Neville and
with a picnic dinner to add zest to the
occasion the work was completed in

Signor, an engineer in the employ of

testify that the life of the modern
civil engineer is by no means a sine
cure. Signor has just completed
three lonely hikes between Colfax, in
Whitman county. south Of Spokane,
and the city of Walla. Walla, which
is just north Of the Oregon boundary
line. AS the crow flies the two
points are Is miles apart, so he had
to walk at least $50 miles, and it is
possible the totaA distance covered
approximates 500 miles. The hikes
we're taken in the interest ,of a pro.
posed state highway between Colfax
and Walla Walla.
