There was a beautiful game of ball
at Riverside last Thursday that should
linger in the memory of fans for the
balance Of the ages. A two days
tournament was arranged for at that
place in which Okanogan, Omak, Re-
public and Tonasket struggled for the
purses hung up as a reward. The first
day Tonasket defeated Omak by a
score of II to |, while Okanogan was
defeating Republic with the help of
The umpire by score of 8 to 6. The
next day Tonasket and Okanogan
played off for first money, Okanogan
winning by the wonderful score of 20
to II, making 10 of the runs in a single
inning. That kind of score was COM
mon 80 years ago, but rarely happens
in this age.

R. G. Sayres of Chicago, whose
wealth accumulated from investments
in lands owe this state in the past
twenty years has placed him in the
millionaire class, was in different
parts of Cavalier county last week
looking after the crop on lands which
he owns. Mr.. Sayres is the owner of
large blocks of land in several counties
in the north and western part of the
state which have more than doubled
in value since he became successor tc
the holdings of the Farmers Trust
Company of Chicago.

In a statement made recently by
the board of railroad commissioners
we are given to understand that there
is a grave danger of a car shortage on
all the lines of railroads that operate
in North Dakota just as soon as the
rush of crop onto the market starts
with the advent of cold weather.
With the big crop, delayed threshing
and the present favorable weather the
expectation is that the grain will be
thrown onto the market in such guam
titles this year that the railroads will
be unable to cope with the situation.
The state board of railroad commits
%sioners, however, does not undertake
to say what effect, if any. this crop
deluge is going to have on the market
price of the grain.

The Catholic church at Wales is
installing a new heating plant this
fall.
G. A. Lundstrom, peace officer at
Wales, was among those of that town
who went to Minot to register for a
homestead at the opening of the Fort
Bertho]d reservation last week.
Ole Larson and VIM. Herriott num-
bered among those from Nekoma who
registered for Fort Berthold reserva-
ton homesteads at the Minot land
Office during the past week.
The Lachner place, one of the big
farms in the neighborhood of Wales
has been rented by Hilbert Iverson,
who has moved there and is at work
doing the fall blowing with a steam
engine.
A big German Lutheran conference
was in session at Rosehill last week.
Outsiders in attendance included
speakers from California, Oregon,
Utah, Nebraska, Minnesota, Manitoba
and over this state.
Geo. S. Lotus, who is the main
stay of the farmers equity exchange,
which has quite an extensive organi-
cation over this state and Minnesota,
is reported as being a cousin of Mrs.
Martin Cip1ov of Munich
The commercial club at Walhalla has
taken up the matter of the improve
ment of the mountain roads leading
into Cavalier county. 1t has been
decided to put up sign boards warning
travellers of dangerous steep places
along the roads.
Walter A. Sandison and family,
living north of Munich, have gone to
spend the coming winter on the
Pacific coast. Most of the time will
be spent at the home of his brother,
Peter A. Sandison, who left Langdon
some time ago to locate at Ontario,
California.
Fall work does not seem to inter-
fere with live stock shipments by
farmers from nearly all towns in this
county on the Great Northern when
the weekly stock trains go south on
Saturdays. Looks as if this diversified
farming is getting to be fashionable.

Book publishers wish to induce read
ers to buy books more literally and
propose a sort Of propaganda to that
hand-that is, to publish books worthy
of permanent ownership. Books may
be had at libraries to skim through"
and the meat of them is often spread
broadcast in newspapers and reviews.
To put from $1.5O to s. in a book of
ephemeral value is not to be thrifty.

%tioneer of this county, was a Friday
visitor in the city from Wales, COM
ing to meet parties in the vicinity of
Langdon who will hold sales of farm

which attends sales conducted by
Auctioneer Kieffer has become known
throughout this and adjoining counties.

A. o. Void of this city was one of
the ten ch~iropractors of this state to

but will be given another opportunity
in January when the state board holds
its next examination at Fargo. Mr..
Void is a graduated practitioner in
the profession of c~hiropractic and has
been engaged in practice in Iowa the
past two years and his taking the ex-

beginning with November 18th and

fact that while our natural

we must bear in mind that good citi-
zenship must be developed at the same
time. Each teacher and superinten-
dent of a school is urged to write at
least one letter to a friend in another
state explaining the splendid oppor-

Industrious and law abiding citizens.
The letters are expected to call special

colleges and the splendid spirit of
fraternalism that prevails throughout
the length and breadth of North
