Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Fleets re-
turned Wednesday from a few days
visit at Bismarck.
Albert Shier of Linton, and Peter
Postle of Winona, were 1T. Yates
visitors Wednesday.
Mrs. Joe Marsh came up from.
Mclaughlin Tuesday for a visit
with j. w. Parker, her step-father.
G. l.. Rosholt, we'll known
farmer Of Raleigh, was here on bust
ness at the Agency yesterday in
with the securing of a
lease on the reservation.
County Auditor Colville went to
Mandan Wednesday to complete
the transcript of the Sioux county
tax records. 1t is also likely that a
transcript of judgments and liens
will be made in order to complete
the clerks of courts records.
J. J. Huse was over from Winona
Friday and stated that he had been
notified by the postoffice depart
ment at Washington, that no change
would be made in his existing COM
mission and bond as postmaster ut
Winona. The office has been ex-
tended to the civil service classifca-
ton.
The work OF plastering James Mo-
lash's new house southwest of town
is being done this week by W. r.
Grover of Winona. The house is
16x32 and the plans call for an eli
which will be added later in the
season. MIR. Molash will also build
barns and make other improve
mcnts during the summer.
DR.. Rapp and J. A. Stiles went
to Cannonball Tuesday to look over
some cattle at the Ed. Weller ranch
across the river in Emmons county,
which are reported to be affected
with scab. They found no scab
across the river, but there is some
scab among the cattle on this side,
and all cattle affected should be
dipped this spring.
l.. s. Henderson was in town
Saturday and Sunday from his farm
across the river east OF Winona.
He stated that he marketed two
loads Of hogs at Pollock last week,
for which he received top prices.
The farmers across the river are too
far away from markets to grow grain
profitable, and since they have COM
menced to raise hogs and cattle are
on the road to prosperity.
A sale was held at Mclaughlin
the other day and number Of COW
hides were sold at top prices, one
hide bringing over $500. Not
very many years ago one could buy
whole COW for that amount Of
money. And yet a good many
people cling to the idea that there
is more money in raising wheat than
cattle. ---Mobridge Bulletin.
Speaking of old timers it will be
of interest to know that it will be 80
years ago March 9th, since ]. NJ.
Carignan came to Fort Yates.
During this time he has taught
school, been clerk, Indian trader
Indian agent, postmaster and mer-
chant. He has perhaps a larger
acquaintance among the Indians in
North and South Dakota than any
other white man in either state, and
speaks the Sioux language Auently.
Next Sunday Rev. FIR. Bernard
will round out rs years service at
TT. Yates. During the many years
he has been in charge of the Catho-
lie Indian Mission on the Standing
Rock reservation, he has been a faith
full worker in the Vineyard of the
Master, and has ministered not only
to the spiritual needs of the Indians,
but has evinced deep concern over
their material wants as we'll. 1t is
understood that his many friends
are preparing to reward him in a
substantial manner TN this occasion.
