MORE CT. N. IMPROVEMENTS

The CT. Northern expects to move
into its new depot here in Langdon
early during the coming week, Agent
Bolton and corps of helpers having
everything in readiness to desert the
old landmark of '87 just as soon as
the furnishings and fixtures of their
new quarters arrive. 1t is also under
stood that the Great Northern fully
expects to further impove the appear
ance of its Langdon property before
the close of the present season by the
filling in of its right-of surround
ing the depot and seeding it down to
grass and planting of shade trees later
in the rail-. With such ornamentation
as this the rest of the town will have
to perk up a little to mark time with
Jim Hills up-to-date ideas.

autoed all the way from Lanigan,

thirty feet along the passes in places.
In returning they shipped the car as

RECORD OF CROP GROWING
WEATHER FOR SEASON
Weather Bureau Statistics Show PreSent.Crop
Season Better Than Last Year

Local weather conditions during the
crop growing season of the present
year and comparative figures from the
record of 1914, furnished US by r. IT.
Burke, observer of the U. S. weathe,
bureau here at Langdon, show that
the rainfall for the growing season of
this year, to date, amounts to nearly
ten inches against about eight inches
for the same period of 1914. But,
although the month of April, the
opening of spring was unusually warm
and spring like the temperature for
the balance of the season has not been
sufficiently summer like to bring the
crop along toward harvest as rapidly
as might be expected by the middle

weeks still intervene before harvest

noted the minimum temperature for
June and July has been lower in it's

though it has somewhat held back the

BIG CROWD AT FARMERS PICNIC

The rain of Friday afternoon came
too late, fortunately, to head off the
large crowd from all over the county
that came here to attend the monster
picnic of the farmers clubs held at the
Langdon experimental farm. All the
eleven farmers clubs that have an
organization in different sections Of
the eScounty had full representation of
their membership in attendance and
the crowd was by no means confined
to those who belonged to the clubs.
1t is estimated to have numbered over
thousand people. Congressman H.
T. Helgeson, came up from Milton on
the noon train and was the principal
speaker to address the gathering dur
ing the afternoon. Others gave short
talks, among the number being DR..
Mcmahon the we'll known veterinary
surgeon at Calvin. The Langdon band
was there most of the afternoon and
gave the picnicers plenty of music.
There had been blowing contest
planned, but when the downpour of
rain came, about three O clock, almost
an inch of it, that part of the pro-
gram had to be abandoned Also the
picnic supper on the lawn at the
farm. Manager and Mrs. Stewart
however did their utmost to take care
of their big crowd of visitors and
little if any inconvenience was suffer-
ed. 1t is safe to say that the first
annual picnic of the farmers clubs of
Cavalier county was success despite
the interference of the weather and
that it will probably be repeated
again next year.

FIRE DEPARTMENT OUT TWICE

The city fire department was called
out at about one O'Clock Tuesday af
ternoon by an alarm from the Schulke

who had noticed traces of smoke and
the smell of fire, there was small
sized contiagation underway which
only required an outside draft to
rapidly develop into a bad fire.
Last night at shortly after ten
o. clock Langdon had another close
escape from a bad fire in the business
section of the city and for the second
time since the beginning of the week
the incipient blaze was located in one
of the principal blocks on Third
street. The alarm Of last night called
the department to the second floor of
the Donovan block, where in one of
the rooms that had not been occupied
for some little time burning mattress
was found to be the cause of the
smoke and smell of fire that had
drawn the attention of those occupy
ing offices in the front of the building
that there was fire somewhere in
the block. Little trouble was had in
extinguishing the blaze and the loss
but nominal.

A LANGDON BRIDE AND
TWIN CITY BRIDEGROOM
We're the Contracting Parties in Wedding at
Fargo Yesterday forenoon

In marriage which occurred at the
hour of noon yesterday in Fargo Mrs.
Vera Reilly, eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. H. D. ALERT, of this city,
became the bride of Mr.. Samuel
Little of Minneapolis. The arrange
ments of this happy midsummer
matrimonial event enabled the carry
ing out of the wishes of the bride-to-
be for q quiet wedding, and few, if
any Langdon friends even Anticipated
the coming-otf of the affair until it
was learned through the receiving of
congratulatory messages from friends
OF the contracting couple at the ALERT
home, that Mr.. and Mrs. Little were
married and had left Fargo on a
months wedding trip, which will be
spent in visiting points of interest on
the Great Lakes. The bride was at
tended by her sister, Miss Daisy
ALERT, who accompanied her to Fargo
on Tuesdays afternoon passenger.
Mr.. Little has quite an extensive
acquaintance among Langdon people,
having some years ago made this
his headquarters while travelling audi
tor over the northern part of the state
for the Stoltze Lumber Company. The
wedding of yesterday appears to be
the happy elimination of an acuuain-
tance covering a number of years,
though the announcement of the en-
gagement, dating back to the holiday
season of last December, had been
contided to but few of the famiv's s
more intimate friends. Mr.. Little is
quite prominently associated with the
larger numbering interests in the
Twin Cities and comfortably equip
ped modern home in the residential
portion of Minneapolis has been provi-
ded by Mr.. Little for the homecoming
OF his bride-a Langdon girl whose
wedding of yesterday is the occasion
of hearty we'll wishes of all oul
townspeople.
