PIONEER CALVIN MAN DIES

Otto Miller, a recognized old resi-
dent Of Cavalier county, who for the
past SIX years has operated a resta.
urant at Calvin, died during the early
morning hours of the Fourth of July
at the Deaconess hospital at Grand
Forks, his death being mainly due to
the ravages made on his physical ON
dition by cancer of the stomach. His
breakdown in health dates back over
four months ago and for over three
weeks he had been in the hospital at
the Forks. Deceased was an old timer
here, had worked as a restaurant man
in nearly every town in the county.
He was cook for some time in the old
Armory restaurant of W. A. Ferguson,
here in Langdon and about twenty-five
years first came to this country from
his old home in Germany. The only
known relative he had was a sister in
the Fatherland. Deceased was nearly
seventy years old, recognized as E
public citizen and as such respected
by all.

TUESDAYS ELECTION RESULT

The late returns of Tuesdays spec
aa1 election in the First Congressional
district would indicate that the voters
have named Hon. ]. M. Baer, the non
partisan candidate, as successor to the
seat in Congress that has been va
cant since the death of the late Hon.
H. T. Helgeson, of Milton. The re-
suit at no time within the closing ten
days of the 'hurry.up'' campaign has
been in doubt with those who have
given the matter thought and allowed
the results of the fall election of
1916 to have the weight it should
have in the forming Of their opinion
of the outcome. Mr.. Baer in poll
tics, aside from his utterances as a
campaign speaker, is an unknown
quantity. Of the other men, to people
who keep a line on public events as
shey occur, it was possible to place a
value on their merits or dement's as
che case may be. Now that the cleo
zion of Baer is practically conceded
the situation may be briefly summed
sap as at least not being a retrogress-
i've step in North Dakota's represent
alton of the past few years as in any
case it is not likely that he, can make
any poorer showing as a representa-
tive of his constituents than most of
fnis predecessors in the halls of con-
gress have done during that time.
Possibly his rare ability as a cartoon
asst will enable him to picture some of
She conditions in North Dakota that
nave pretty much up to the present
time been kept in the back ground.

to a call issued by President Wilson
drafting the national guard into the
United States army. The various
companies of the North Dakota nation

boys, Tony Backus, Miles Kessler,
Louis SLENDER and Ben L~othspeich,
who at the first call to arms enlisted
with Company c. of Grafton. AS the
present week brings to a close their
home stay the intervening few days
are sur to be crowded with social and
other events to enliven and add an
interest to an occasion which will be
recalled in the memory of many who
will be left behind until after the war
is owe and. we hope, our boys come
marching home.
The Second Regiment of the North
Dakota national guard which is as
yet still in course of formation will
not be in readiness to respond to the
call of July 18th, but will be sent
forward to the concentration camp at
American Lake, WASH, as soon as
the twelve companies forming the
regiment have been mustered into the
service and have received their equip
ment.

official report by the United States con-

the situation is not bright in the land
Of sunshine, gold and diamonds. The
states of the Union do not raise enough
food for home consumption, and the
war has, for some reason, sent prices
up to a high figure. Mining is the chief
source of prosperity. but gold is just
now plentiful and cheap the world
over. Diamonds, which the mind nat

South Africa and the %skyrocket for

the market the first year of the war.
South Africa's food shortage is not due
to congestion of population mol lack of

of our great plains and slopes. Irriga-
