MOSCOW.
(Too Late for Last Week..

Mrs. Jacob Spenst has undertaken
the job of cooking for the Reimer
threshing outfit while it is at work
on the farm of the Wilson boys.
David Heibert is putting in quite a
crop of winter rye and will have a
! whole quarter section of his land seed
ed to this crop by the end of the
coming week.
Samuel Die, who has been working
with one of the threshing outfits
operating in this neighborhood, has
quit his job since the setting in of the
| wet weather and returned to his home
in Winnipeg.
j. j. Mahoney is supplying all the
| threshing outfits around this neighbor-
hood with pork during this season
when the cook cars are doing a thriv-
ing business in supplying the hungry
threshers with their "eats.'
The seven days of disagreeable wet
weather, which tied up threshing the
past week, has made bad inroads into
the financial condition Of both the men
operating threshing outfits and the
men whom they have had in their
employ.
Mrs. Jacob Spenst and her daugh-
ter, Eva, went to visit a sick little
girl, Mary Veer, the Eve year old
little daughter of Isaac Veer and
wife. The child had been able to eat
scarcely anything for, nearly a week,
but later reports show that she is now
rapidly improving in condition.
A basket social is to be held at
Moscow school No. 4, on Saturday of
next week, the 10Th inst. The school
teacher and the pupils. together with
the young people of the neighborhood,
are getting it up and as it will be the
first event of the kind to be held here
this fall, it is pretty sure to be given
a good attendance.
Johnnie F%riesen, the little son of
MIR. n Mrs. Geo. j. Frlesen, who
was taken to the Langdon hospital
about three weeks ago for treatment,
has returned to his home, and since
his arrival on Sunday appears to be
regaining his health quite rapidly.
Already he is able to walk around,
but is still far from strong.
Cornelius Krohn from Munich, is
running his threshing outfit in the
Rosehill settlement about eleven miles
east of that place, and will continue
to keep moving east az he threshe!
until he reaches his own place, prob
ably arriving on the home farm abou'
the time that winter sets in. 1t il
understood that MIR. Krohn is intend
ing to run the farm himself next yea:
and will move the family out there
from Munich early in the spring.

Elmer Lorenz was at the county
seat transacting business between
trains on Saturday of last week.
Mr.. Roder has been confined to his
room for several days during the past
week with a severe attack of la
grippe.
Tuesdays rain, when all the thresh-
ing machines were about to again
start up after being shut down for
almost two weeks, owing to rains and
damp weather, is a disappointment
which finds most all farmers with
about half of their crop threshed,
while there are a number who have
their crop all standing in the shock.
The men who are working on the
machines in many instances quit their
jobs and went away, which means
that the outfits will be compelled to
run short handed when the weather
does clear off and we get our Indian
summer. Grain of all kinds is bound
to suffer in quality of sample owing
to its long exposure and this means a
loss all around to the farmer when it
comes to marketing n of the biggest
crops ever harvested in Cavalier
county.

Eastern Markets
Want S. D. Spud!

South Dykota potatoes are the
best on the markets this fall and
they are being eagerly sought for
by the eastern BUYERS. The crop
of spuds in the state is large but
nowhere are they more plentiful
than in this vicinity and here
nearly every large grower is
storing his crop for disposition
when the market is not flooded
with tubers as it is at present.
Minnesota and Wisconsin po-
tatoes are showing a tendency to
rot rapidly and for that reason
they are of little use for tie
eastern markets and hence the
firms of the east are working
in this vicinity and over the state
as well in search for the potatoes
that will keep. Several repre-
sentatives have been in this city
lately and have contracted for
large quantities of the South
Dakota product. Aberdeen

payers Of Slope County, in their
endeavor to prevent the building
OF a bridge across the Little Mis-
souri, river at Marmarth, and the
erection of a court house at the
temporary county seat, Amidon.
The commissioners some time
ago let both contrac is and then
came the temporary injunction,
which has now been made per-
manent as regards h court
house. This will be very salts
factory to those residents Of
Slope county who do not want
the county seat located at Ami
don, and promises to bring On a
real Lively scrap next year when
the matter of the permanent
location Of the county seat will
be voted on. The parties ask
ing for the injunction claim they
want the courthouse matter held
up until after the people have
a chance to say by their ballots
where h permanent county
seat will be located.
1t is not believed, however,
that there is so much objection
to the bridge proposition. as all
seem to realize the necessity of
a bridge across the Little Mis-
souri, river at Marmarth. The
material for this bridge has been
on the ground for some time,
and the work of erecting it will
be rushed. This is on the Vel.
lowstone Trail, the great high
way from t h e Atlantic to the
Pacific coast. While automobile
tourists have always been able
to cross the Little Missouri at
this point, the new bridge viii
make it much more convenient
and a great deal more travel will
come this way next year, as it is
acknowledged by all that t b e

highway through to the Park. -
