DEATH CALLS A. S. BURROWS

Many people of Langdon aud vici-
nifty were quite we'll acquainted with
MIR. A. S. Burrows of Grand Forks,
whose death occurred Wednesday of
last week and the funeral on Christ
mas eve was a sad event in which the
bereaved family will have the sym
pathy of many here. MIR. Burrows
was in an extensive way connected
with the development of the farming
land areas of this and adjoining
counties during the earlier days. At
the time of his death he had reached
the age of seventy-nine years; was a
veteran of the civil war and on his
first coming to the state in 1886 was
actively identified with the education
al matters of his home town, Grand
Forks. Death was due to a short
illness of heart trouble, pneumonia
adding to the complications as the
end drew near.

The news came to friends in Lang.

following Christmas as a surprise of
the serious illness from pneumonia
of Peter Penner, at Littleield,
Texas. 1t will be remembered Mr..

in some form at the time he reached
Littlefeld. The message from Texas
was sent by C. w. Toews, a former

HAS BOTH FEET FROZEN

An incident in the blizzard of
week ago was the narrow escape from
freezing to death of Miss Ella Morken,
of Osnabrock, who was returning
home from Milton, where she had
been spending the day with friends.
The horse was seized with an attack
of blind staggers and had to be left
on the road. Miss Morken, accom-
panied by her younger brother, Sid
ney, got out of the cutter and started
to walk to the Hans Haven farm, a
distance of two miles through deep
snow. Reaching there both feet were
found to be frozen nearly stiff.
Whether or not it will be possible to
save her limbs from amputation is as
yet not assured.

YEAR 1916 BRINGS MUNICH
MANY BIG IMPROVEMENTS I|ER|p|
Metropolis Of Southwestern Cava-
lier County Looms Up Great in
Building Improvements

The entire front page Of last week Ks
issue of the Munich Herald, is given
over to write-up OF the big line of
public improvements that have been
made in the town and surrounding
country during the past season. Per-
haps the most notable are the $40. 600
addition to the public school and a
new Catholic church, which upon its
completion will represent an outlay
of at least 81, 500. Other new build
ings and improvements. which the
people of Munich can point TO as hav-
ing been added to the town within
the past twelve months. foot up to an
aggregate expenditure of several
thousands of dollars
Farmers of the country tributary
to Munich have not been bit behind
the town folks, fact that is backed
up by figures showing substantial
improvements in which the outlay for
barns. granaries, grain elevators and
other buildings range all the way from
$3.50 to $1.5O0. The total exceeds
$4,000 and shows the class of peo-
pie who in the past ten years have
helped to develop the southwestern
part of Cavalier county. That real
estate features in the big headway
made by Munich and it's bunch Of
boosters is again attested by the
dozen or more heavy transfers IN farm
lands of that section of the county
since the taking off of the crop last
fall. The farms sold range in size
all the way from a quarter section to
a whole section. All sold to farmers
and not to parties who merely buy as
an investment. Munich has within
its marketing radius a corner" on
the best farming land in the south
western part of Cavalier county and
the townspeople are not alone satisfied
with being boosters of their town but
are wide awake enough to realize that
if their town is to keep on growing
the way it is coming along now they
will have to give a front seat on the
band wagon to the neighboring farm
er, without whom the livest wire in
a prairie town would fail to make
good on the job as booster. We
like the way the business men of
Munich go after things. and by the
way the editor of the Munich Herald
is doing his ''bit.

critical stages of both the first and
second halves would nave brought

ties of his office by Prof. Morris
