enridge, MIMI, IN offer of $3.50 q
bushel, t. 0. B. Williston, for 700 BUSH
els, Mr.. Phillips concluded to accept

$3.50 . bushel now. A baked potato
in q San Francisco restaurant costs
20 cents.

BUSINESS NOT AS EASY AS
REPRESENTED

Herman Miller, a transient, was
arrested by Chief Nolan Friday on a
charge of distributing wet goods.
Miller brought twenty-four "pints"
from Mondak and had succeeded in
retailing only two of them when
spotted by the police. He was given
a hearing before Justice Field and
bound over to be tried at district
court. Miller is said to have inti.

GOOD EVIDENCE OF GROWTH

Jamestown reports total ENROLL
ment in the city schools of 1909. The
enrolment of the Williston schools
exceeds this number by few, and
according to the 1915 census report
the population of jamestown exceed
ed that Of Williston by more than
1000. The natural conclusion is that
Williston is outstripping the other
North Dakota cities of her class.
