LETTER OF A PIONEER
To the Editor;

To the Editor:
On arriving at Winona on July sixth,
1884, the first man that I met was
Major Pitts, who kept the store and
postoffice in the town. The acquain-
lance then formed ripened into a
friendship that lasted until his untime-
ly death. He was a very capable
man, genial gentleman. After he
was elected to Office and moved to
Linton, / always received a most cor
dial greeting when ever / called ON
him at his Office in the court house.
He was a man of strict integrity,
and of a kindly nature, and / will al
ways remember him for his kindness
to me, stranger in a strange land.
Jack McCrory and his excellent
wife were typical pioneers, generous
and kind to all. I made it sort Of
a home at their place, and they did
much to cheer me in my lonely, pio-
neer days. cherish them as among
my very best friends, and will ever
remember them for their kindness to
me and all of my family.
r. w. Childe { partner Of Mr..
McCrory in the sheep ranch) is an
old townsman and friend of mine in
Pennsylvania. After came to Wi
mona, he married very dear friend
Of my wife and myself in our old
home town. His place was less than
a mile from our location, and their
presence so near helped to break the
monotony of my bachelor life. And
I often wandered over there when my
loneliness became unbearable. In
few years after this they went back
to our old town to live when Mrs.
Childe died in the blossom of life,
leaving a young girl as a comforter
for the bereaved husband.
The day that arrived at Winona
1854, go" Clark and wife arrived
at Vanderbilt from England. l did not
become acquainted with the Clarks
until they came to live on their home
steal at the "Lake Bed" three miles
from our place, and the postofice was
moved there. But to become ac-
quainted with them, was to take them
into our hearts, and the closest friend
ship has existed between our families
all through the years to the present
day. Mrs. Clark has been the most
efficient teacher in the Dale Sunday
School since its organization many
years ago, and would be greatly
missed today should she drop out
from our midst.
Although D. R. Streeter was IA
miliar name to me from the day that
l first struck Emmons county, it was
not my good fortune to meet and be-
come acquainted with him until my
dear wife and came back to Dale to
stay. After that saw him frequent
~, and he did me many kindnesses.
Always genial and pleasant, l learned
to regard him most highly. And he
was ever good friend to my family.
1 always admired him for standing by
a principle, no matter what the oppo-
sition might be. A man that could
not be bought, even in politics. l
think we lost one of our best citizens
when he left the county.
~. DON TRACY.

A perusal of the front page of last
weeks local league sheet would almost
cause one to believe that the Farm
Bureau Federation had undertaken the
job of financing the league state adj
ministration. Such is not the case,
however, as the screaming headlines
Of the league sheet might lead a cas-
ual observer to imagine.
The fact is that Pres. Burdick, of
the state federation, proposed that the
state sell s2,000,O00 of the Mill and
Elevator Series bonds to complete the
mill and elevator at Grand Forks and
that the state then get out of the
grain business by leasing the mill and
elevator to the farm bureaus sales
agency. Hardly an o. K. of the
leagues socialist program is it?
Should the administration decide to
accept Mr.. Burdick's proposition, they
would thereby abandon even their pro-
posed experiment in the state milling
business on a large scale-unless the
Drake Mill fiasco should be considered
such experiment. The Drake mill, by
the way, is not shut down. The
league bosses explain it is but temper
airy for purposes of overhauling, etc.
For some time it has been running on
one-third capacity of last fall.
A million or more has already been
sunk in the partially completed mill
and elevator at Grand Forks. Per-
haps it may eventually be necessary
to complete the project and lease it
to somebody in order to realize any
thing from what has already been
sunk. But that is certainly a far cry
from the beautiful dreams pictured
by Mr.. Townley and his cohorts only
a few years ago.
The completion of that mill and the
leasing Of it to the Farm Bureau peo-
pie would be a nice thing for them,
and Mr.. Burdick would be seven kinds
of fool if he didn't strongly urge
such procedure. But it is certainly
nauseating to see a league sheet use
such palpable admission Of the dis
sipation of their erstwhile rosey pipe
dreams as stratling front-page claim
of unlocked for support and assistance
from the farm bureau.
7 If the Burdick proposition is. of any
benefit to the leaguers at all, it is the
providing of a means whereby man.
moth White Elephant may be taken off
the hands of the Administration, and
the consideration Of such a PROPOSE
ton at all-let alone such a glowing
Fscreech of pleasure lis an admission
Of giving up the old dream Of the
"state in the milling business to, break
the grain combine dream that has
done much to upset the people of
North Dakota and to give bunch of
radical political freebooters chance
to all but ruin the state,
By all means rent the mill and ele-
vator at Grand Forks to the Farm
Bureau people, or to anyone or any
thing that, will take it off our hands,
and prevent any more losses from
ttfailure to hedge" as has always de-
velcped in the box-car state operated
mill at Drake.
Put Ter there, Free Press, old top.
We seem to be agreed again.

In last weeks local league organ
we read heading, Thompson Lum-
Der Yard Officers Here" We thought
we had scooped, but the article itself
informed US that these officials were
in Aberdeen, and the story was clipped
from the Aberdeen Daily News. Alb
erdeen is pretty nearly here-but not
quite.

Politically speaking, North Dako-
ia has everything whipped off the
map. Not only the eyes Of America,
but Of the world are watching the
turn of affairs in North Dakota" So
says the league sheet last week. Yeh,
indeed! The eyes Of the whole world
were on Kaiser Bill, too, when he went
on a rampage.

could use their own pleasure as to
whether to accept the checks or go
without. They couldn't get anything
else. AS result, tax payments DUR
ing the past few moths have practic-
ally wiped out the county's open &C.
count in the state bank, and now the
Bank of North Dakota has signifed
its willingness to clean off the little
balance that is left in order to get
the garnishment action dismissed.
Now, about the funds in Mcintosh
county loaned by the Bank of North
Dakota: Every county usually has
one or two banks friendly to the
league, banks that have discounted
League paper or shown other favors
financially or politically, or who have
good leaguers mixed up in their or
ganization. In most instances, those
banks have the lions share of loans
from the Bank of North Dakota.
Last fall, when Linton city treasur-
err was trying to dig little of the
city funds out of the state institution,
an official of that concern informed
him that Emmons county banks had
more funds than were deposited in the
Bank Of North Dakota from Emmons
county. And the two banks in the
county leading the list were the now
defunct Farmers State Bank at Brad
dock and another bank whose many
stockholders were nearly all leaguers
The other Bank of North Dakota funds
in Emmons county were real estate
loans to Emmons county farmers
So, just out of curiosity, let us see
who those farmers were and how much
they got.
Last summer, the records in the reg
lister of deeds Office showed the follow
ing loans from the Bank of North
Dakota:
G. O'Callaghan, $4,000
Chas. Salthe, $500
Anton Senger, $4,000
H. Sundahl, $1,000
R. o. Kleppe, $4,000
l.. R. May, $4,000,
o. R. Martini, $1,000
Sarah Saville, $2,400
Joe N. Feist, $4,000,
j. j. Landsberger, $4,000 il,
w. T. Jagd, $4,000
We wonder where you could find a
more perfect list of 100 per cent
leaguers than the above. Those of
our readers who know one or two of
the parties securing these loans from
the Bank Of North Dakota may be
assured that those they don't know
are just as rabid league workers as
those they have become familiar with

AUTUMNAL SCENES
With the falling of the leaves the
melancholy days appear-days of sad
ness and oppressive gloom! Out of
the blush gray dusk of the somber
tinted twilight there appears vast
stretches of much misery and desola-
ton. Alas, we perceive with no little
concern the awful visitation of VEN
geance manifested by the recent
frosts. The scene so shorn of all
beauty is quite reminiscent of other
fieeting visions that have departed
these many days, leaving the heart
with an aching void that otherwise
can ne'er be filled.
AS the metal is refined in the cru-
chile our spirits through sufferings
and Universities are purged of dross,
though often scared hearts and
wounded souls sustain traces that de-
fy obliteration. Memories of the pastI

TESTIMONY TURNED IN TO
FREIGHT RATE INQUIRY BOARD

NJ. h. Bashor and e. e. Hosler
went to Denver last week to appear
before the railway rate inquiry board
to give testimony relative to condi-
tions in the hope of securing freight
rate reductions. They were both wit
lesses Mr.. Hosler giving in testi-
mony in behalf of the growers and
MIR. Bashor representing the shippers.
Their testimony was of value and as
similar Information was turned in to
the board of inquiry by delegations
from other counties it is quite likely
that there will be reduction in rates
by the fall shipping season.
Mr.. Hosler returned the latter part
of the week and Mr.. Bashor came
hcme the first of this week.
