The many friend® of Grandma Wal dref will learn with pleasure that she is making satisfactory progress to wards recovery from her recent sick ness. An interesting debate upon the question of "Socialism" took place at Messrs. J. C. Card and sons store on Wednesday last. Mr. Al bert Hay advocated the more fash ionable aspect of political belief, i.e., Socialism, (while individualism was represented by Mr. Shaw. The com modious building was taxed to the uttermost to accomodate the many who were present and the speakers were accorded a patient yet attentive hearingn. The Logan cornet band furnished the musical programme in their usual masterly manner. An election was called for March 27th to decide the question whether the school located on the N. E. cor Her of the N. W. section 13, Township 154, Range 82, was in ac cordance with the wishes of the tax payers. In spite of strenuous efforts of those interested, the majority op posed to the site was 45 to 9. A plain answer to a plain question, yet rumour has it that it is not sufficient ly emphatic to impress Alf. with the fact that NO means NO. There are other interests at least have a right to be considered by our director®, separate and apart form the immedi ate vicinity of Hecker. The stork paid a visit to the homtj of our friend, Alf. Stredwick, pre senting the fond parents with the "cutest little thing imaginable" in the way of daughters. Congratula tions from one and all. Logan is growing and growing rap idly. Mr. Elmer Cook has recently erected two buildings which improve considerably the appearance of our town. The old Bell scnool was sold by a on on on a as Brand officiating. Bidding was spirit ed the building being ultimately se cured by Mr. Pelton of Hecker. Our friend Jim Bell came very near be coming the owner. The out-buildings were disposed of at a sacriflc, but the school realized eighty-one dollars. The Rev. Skerrett completed his course of services at Forbes school house on Sunday last, when Mrs. Jim Egan, Mus Gena Hanson, Miss Ella and Laura Waldref became members of the church. The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Earle, Stredwick was baptized and quite a uumoer of those present partook of the Sacrament. Mr. Skerrett is an able earnest and eloquent speaker and has during his brief visit done much to awaken a deeper interest in matters spiritual, and It is therefore to be regretted that his many other calls will prevent his giving to Logan, the benefit of his labors. We understand that there is a likelihood of a minister residing with us permanently in the near fu ture. The Sawyer Basketball team ana friend* were welcome visitors on the cM*. ill mm WSj MINOT DRUG CO. Oscar L. Veaoh, Mgr, Mi Successful Farming In Dakota DEMANDS the use of FORMALDEHYDE in the treatment and preparation of your grain for seeding. It also demands that yQU, protect this grain after cropping, from the gophers, and the most effect ive method for the latter necessity lies in giving the gophers their "medi cine" before the seed is in the ground. Farmers who know say that more can be accomplished in exterminating gophers in ONE DAY early in the spring, thau in a WEEK later in the season. Now we have STANDARD STRENGTH FORMALDEHYDE, which has been tested by Prof. E. F. Ladd, State Chemist for North Dakota, and classed as standard, and we also have all kinds of GOPHER MEDICINE.

Their presence livened things up generally and made possible an Interesting and instructive practice match for the local boys. Mr. Conklin who is farming on the N. Prairie paid ug a business visit recently. By the way, he had the misfortune to lose a box of groceries from a load of straw somewhere north of Logan and would esteem it a kind ness if the finder would notify him. Mrs. T. N. Elarth has been the guest of "Miss Bessie Grier of Sawyer recently. Mr. Art Sillman will be busy on the T.

Let it suffice that there is still some slight hope of a resurrection. Deegan Bros, have decided to dis pose of their pedigree herd of Poll Durham cattle, which have become famous throughout the northwest. The whole of the horses will also be offered and full particulars of the sale will shortly be announced 1b our columns.

In conversa tion lately with a gentleman who ex ercises a controlling interest in rail road circles, we learned that the claims of Mlnot and Kenmare, especi ally with reference to the Grand Trunk are premature. It would sur prise many to find this company en tering Logfth, but if the road diffi culty twist Oliver and Ann can be ad Justed amicably their Is no guessing tr-- what might happen. Our local stores have been paying a considerably higher price lately for both butter and eggs than that which prevail either east or west. No won der eight new hitching posts have lately been erected. THAT SAWYER Citizens of Little City Down the Soo Tells About It—The Population Is Indignant—Schools Closed and Business Interrupted. (Communicated.) The "Sawyer Quarantine*' is a rath er strange and novel affair, different from most anything else in the sky above, the earth beneath, or in waters said to be under the earth. It seems to Be a double barrelled hair trigger sort of an affair, and has such adjust ments that first one barrel may go eff and the other not, or they may be intermittent, or all unexpected like, simultaneously both barrels may go at once and dead sure to hit, especally if a double barreled load and considerable back talk, this seems to make a howling difference. This Octopus seems to be patterned after the old fashioned bell muzzled blunder buss, only they were single barreled, while this is double barrel ed, but toy a combination can be run either single or double, singly or !t collusion. The old blunder buss had no set trigger nor trigger guard. This has, the blunder sets, and the trigger guards. The ofd blunder busp scattered ter ribly and kicked Hk« the 1, so does, tills, bujL it has this advantage over the blunder buss. In scattering it has the power of selection. It can pick out its victims and they can do the kicking. The old blunder buss never paid very well as it was about as danger ous in rear as in front and most as fatal and soon fell into disuse, while this does pay or tries to, for If an application for letters patent at Wash ington was presented, undoubtedly the heading would begin about thus ly: A mechanism in the combination of which two pairs of abnormally elongated arms, with eagle claw fin gers attached, plunged deeply up to the elbows into the public crib, etc. This quarantine spread out on the map of Sawyer makes it appear like the freckled face of some school kid, and it is said it covers 155,000 fatal diseases and can't possibly fail of hitting some one of 'em. Why it's a corker. It is said it not only covers Sawyer but blankets the moon and so darkens the sun that his "spots" are invisible, and it is also said it has knocked all the spots off the Pedro of clubs, so as to get a new deal, and the new deal keeps coming as the other Pedro's in the deck lose their virtue. If It could in any way be set back to a "square" deal, our business losses paid back, our school proceed and its losses paid bacTt, our good people allowed to pur sue the even tenor of their way, there'd be a day set for thanksgiving and prayer. It is said the Sawyer Quarantine is "agin" Scarletina, but some how ail sorts of dread disease have been de veloping, disease native and imported diseases scratched up from the four corners of the earth. 'Tis even hint ed that we'll soon have some from the heavenly bodies. Good Lord deliver us from what we've got here. If we could trade off a part or the whole of our "Cure" of the spread of it we'd be well satisfied with earthi and take the heavenly when we get ueyond the wall. Sawyer quarantined for Scarletin ed—all at once the entire town was shocked to find that It was the itch, but this was soon allayed when 1 developed into a mild form of itch foi office which was generally settled at the spring election, no fatalities. It la said in one house they have measles, mumpe, spinal meningitis and lumbago. The old man kussed a bit, quarantined for scarlatina, got double-barreled load for 30 days. Another had two with sore throat (scarletina.. Talked loud and long, got double barrel aimed at mouth 30 days.Another with large family and lots of chores, some trouble. Talked back with mouth full or cuss words. Single barrel missed fire, escaped. Another big fellow (scarlet fever) shot off mouth, cuss words too refined, shaved to close, double barrel, double barrel, 30 days. Another out in country, big family, and pocket book, tamed loud but thro' hat got 30 days. It Is further said, one family has hol low horn, another gleet, another manse another foot-rot and still another wltn a well developed case of thumpe for one of Its members raised hla quar^ antine, Just lifted the blanket and scooted up town and thumped one of our good citizens and he's now carrying his upper lips in .* sime lfc consequence.First blood. Thus Sawyer has been making his tory, but it has extended and other towns have been warned against hef and individual intercourse stopped much to the detriment and loss to our business interests and this being known—yet this Foppln Jay Quaran tine goeB bravely on. The club of the law has been swung over the heads ol' a patient and obed ient public. This farce has been os the boards so long that all is abotit ready for revolt. There's an indignant population in Sawyer. A population that feeis and knows it has been imposed upon and takes this means to resent the insult and throws back in the faces of this double barreled proposition. That it feels that the medical fraternity of this state has been disgraced, that these leeches should be caused to let go, their licenses be revoked and tbey turned in the pasture of the long eared gentry where they belong. A destructive fire took place at the residence of Mr. J. Olson on Wednes day night. Jno escaped without in jury though his loss is considerable. The enforcement of the quarantine regulations frequently results in tern poary unconvenience to the few, but it is left for the learned among our medical men to isolate the major por| tion of a town for Scarlet Fever as a consequence of a few children being afflicted with the mildest form German measles. Ezra Bailey on the subject is interesting, yet forcible and his opinions are not in accord ance with the county physicians. Billey Hoffman Who recently return ed from Swift Current, Canada, is renewing old acquaintances. Mr. Clyde Richmond and Miss Ada Smith made a business trip to Minor on Wednesday, returning on 106 on Thursday. We are asked to contra dict the report with reference to the license, however. Mr. Putney from Aberdeen, has been the guest of Mrs. Jones during the past week. Sawyer like Logan has quite a bunch of bachelors, but unlike Logan provides for these bachelors quite a bevy of charming members of the fair sex. Now if report be true, there is no excuse for bachelordom in Sawyer. Mr. Hubbard recently offered to grant the license and per for the ceremony free of erpeuse if a crtain gentleman would desert their ranks. Now Cal., Carl Ben son's hired girl is willing, so why carry longer? Sawyer has been disturbed of late by w!erd and piercing calls which make night hideous in that usually peaceful town. They are suggestive of a town cat in agony, or an over excited member of a certain fanatical body, pronouncing benedic tions on tbose with whom they differ. Whatever the cause they should not allow the slumbers of God fearing B0YER South Main St. OF' READY-TO-WEAR APPAREL :—for— MEN, YOUNG MEN, YOUTHS AND BOYS IS NOW READY The stock is large and com plete in every detail and we invite you to see the New Kuppenheimer Suits New Roswell Hats New Stetson Hats New All-American Shoes New Spring Furnishings Our showing was never bet ter nor ore Beautiful.

It has been suggested that Joe Heine might help some. At McClusky' a young mother ran to a neighbor's before daylight, pound ed on the door and insisted they eome over to her house right after break fast—"for if my baby hasn't a tooth, I am a liar." At the conclusion of the work, an interesting vaudeville show was gives, by teams from the local theatres and a number of local celebretles. A ImfTet lunch was served.
