WILL SOW FALL CROPS OF RYE

Yesterday Field Agent j. w. Haw
had carload of this years crop of
rye on track here, which is being
purchased in small lots for seed this
fall by a number of farmers tributary
to Langdon who are attracted to rye
as one of the best all round samples
of small grain coming onto the mar
ket this season. Rye is crop that is
showing yield varying from fifteen
to twenty-five bushels even under the
disadvantages of an "off" year while
the prevailing price of around the dol
lar mark this fall is an additional in.
centive to make rye crop this year
before freeze-up. The carload was
secured from the Mcclure & Baltour
farm near Hannah, asfine sample and
ia tknownsas the Minnesota No., 2 va
riety.

BAD GRANhRY- FIRE
LAST FRIDAY NIGHT
Granary of Jan Kyncl Scene of An
other Fire on That Farm Inside
Past Three Months

Friday evening, between half past
eight and nine O'Clock, the second
bad fire within the past three months
was discovered we'll under way on the
Jan Kyncl farm. located a little over
a mile north of Langdon. This time
Mr.. Kyncl is the loser OF a granary,
into which he had unloaded direct
from the threshing machine but day
or two before oats. barley and other
feed grains for his horses and stock
during the coming year. The loca-
tion of the blaze when discovered, it
being on the side of the building far
thest away from the house, together
with other suspicious indication that
were noted at the time, give rise to
the thought suggesting itself that
the confagration may have been the
work of a fire bug. There was no
chance to save the granary, but by
the putting forth of every effort
about four hundred bushels of oats
were saved from the burning build
ing, though damaged more or less by
water and smoke. Mr.. Kyncl's loss,
including the granary and the con-
tents is a heavy one and was only to
Il small extent covered by insurance.
Less than three months ago the barn
on the Kyncl place was burned to the
ground. The two fires make the crop
season of 1916 one of unusual heavy
loss to MIR. kync! The cause of Fri
day nights fire is understood as un-
dergoing Investigation.

RECEPTION FOR OLD TIMERS
On Friday evening Mr.. and Mrs

On Friday evening Mr. and Mrs. G..
S. Hunter were the host and hostess
at a gathering of an unusually large
number of the older residents of the
city, who had been invited there to a
reception rendered to Mr.. and Mrs. M.
G. Fossum, who had returned to Lang
don to renew the acquaintance of old
time friends after an absence of
twenty-four years. The fact that
there were some three score there to
greet the Fossums testifies that the
advance of time has not entirely de.
nuded the city of all of the first pio-
neers who blazed the way for the
making of the Langdon of today
The highly enjoyable evening for
which MIR. and Mrs. Hunter were re-.
sponsible was given over in Its en-
tirety to the Langdon of years ago
and the good-byes which eventually
arrived were preceded with elabor-
ately served refreshments. Mr.. and
Mrs. Fossum took with them a souve-
mir autograph album containing the
names of those of their old friends
whom they met that evening.

PROPERTY VALUATIONS LOWERED

County Auditor Eide has received
notice from the state board of equal
ization during the week that at it's re-
cent meeting at Bismarck it ordered
ten per cent decrease in the valuation
of both farm lands and town lots in
this county. There will also be a
decrease in the valuation of struc-
lures on both farm and town property
of ten per cent as compared with the
returns of year ago. In the equal.
ization of personal property the board
made changes in four items: A de-
crease of twenty per cent in cattle
under one year old. A raise of
twenty-five per cent on cattle under
two years old. "A decrease of twenty
per cent on bulls and raise of fifty
per cent in the valuation of high bred
cattle. Taken all through the returns
made by the state board to Cavalier
county will have quite tendency to
keep down the taxes of both farm and
town property: '"' a" *na a'.

OVER FIVE HUNDRED LICENSES

Since the first Of the week hunting
licenses have been Issued in large
numbers by County Auditor Eide at
the court house for the chicken and
duck season which opened at sunrise
today. Monday and Tuesday licens-
es were issued at the rate of nearly
100 a day with total of upwards
500 when the office of the auditor at
the court house closed yesterday af-
ternoon at five o'clock. The season
of 1916 opens with a record of more
licenses issued to hunters than at the
opening of the chicken season in anv
past year since the enactment of the
state game law. Reports indicate
both the prairie chicken and wild
duck as being plentiful with lots of
good sport in sight. 1t may also be
we'll to note that deputy game ward
ems are plentiful to see that the
owners of dogs and guns live up to
and obey the game laws.

BACK AFTER TwENTY-FoUR YEARS

N. G. Fossum and wife, of Min
neapolis, and their daughter, whose
home is at Bottineau, N. D gave a
pleasant surprise to their many old
Langdon friends when they autoed in
to town from the western part of the
state Thursday afternoon. Mr.. Fos-
sum and his wife were among the
early day pioneers who helped to
start Langdon on its upward career
way back in 1887. He opened a gen.
eral store in what of late years has
been the G. Chisholm place of busi.
ness. For time H. 0. Bjornerud
was associated with Mr.. Fossum, the
firm later selling out to Messrs CHS
holm & Hunter. The Fossums left
Langdon twenty-four years ago and
at the present time Mr.. Fossum holds
the state appointment of purchasing
agent for the Minnesota state board
of control. From here they went to
visit son looted at Foston, Mimi.

OLD LAND MARKS DISAPPEAR

Even the papers of neighboring
towns are noting with interest the ex-
tent of Langdon's many building i'm
provements. How the land marks Of
the past twenty and thirty years are
disappearing and handsome new brick
blocks taking their place The trans
formation of the old Opera House
property into Langdon' 9 new auditor
ium and the extesive line of improve
ments being made at the Court House.
Then only last week still another step
in the right direction was taken when
Workmen started tearing down the
front of the old CT. Northern Hotel,
for many years past municipal eye
sore, which recently was purchased
by A. 0. Wold and is to be rebuilt
after manner to provide handsome
up to date quarters for the jewlery
and musical goods business of the A.
0. Void Co., together with the rap
idly growing chiropractic practice of
DR.. Void. Yes, the old town is be-
ing ripped up the back some this snn1-
mer, and before the season closes
Langdon will have close onto $780,
600 worth of new building improve
ments to show for it.

CRUSHED BETWEEN TWO CARS

A nephew of ]. D. Soper, of Iona,
was the victim of an accident in a
railroad yard of the c. P. Ry's at
Swift Current, Sask. The sad event
happened Thursday last week when
Fred Soper, son of S. 0. Soper, of
Crystal, was crushed between two
freight cars of train on which he
was working as brakeman. 1t is
stated the accident was due to the
fact that the crew Soper was working
with was handed, one of the
men having been laid off. A car of
ties had been switched onto a siding
and while he was trying to make a
coupling work three more cars bump
ed into the one he was working on.
He leaves a wife and child, also a
father, five brothers and four sisters.
