OFFICIAL PAPER OF MCLEAN CO.
SATURDAY, MAY 21ST, 1904.
Ward county sends two delega
tions to the different conventions
and the end is not yet.
The largest crop in the history
of McLean county is being put in
the ground this year. A large
acreage will be planted to corn,
Secretary Cortelyou is now talk
ed of as the probable chairman of
the republican national committee
Cortelyou is a man who does things.
"We are on the real thing now,"
was remarked by one of our prom
inent business men when he heard
of the transfer of the railroad to
thq Soo company
The Emmons county convention
in the action endorsing certain
candidates for the legislature, rath
er took the wind out of the Lyons
forces in Kidder.
The amount levied by the county
commissioners of Kidder—some
§800—has been paid out in boun
ties, and gopher tails in that coun
ty have depreciated somewhat.
The jury in the Ames case dis
agreed and the Journal says that
the next thing to do is to try the
case again. The whole thing be
gins to savor somewhat on the per
secution order by the papers of ths
twin cities. If Minneapolis had
been on trial, as the Journal says,
there certainly would have been a
conviction.
Four murder cases have devel
oped in this judicial district in the
past few weeks. Art VanVerste is
in jail in Emmoni county, charged
with the death of his daughter
John Brown is under arrest at
Richardson charged with the mur
der of his 12 year old son Joseph
Hauser of Mereer county, shot and
killed W. P. Keletz in a row over
some cattle Ole Zinar a prominent
ranchman of Dickinson was shot
and killed by B. K. Climie.
In the history of McLean coun
ty there has never been a more
harmonious convention of the Re
publican party than the one held
Monday. The delegates returned
to their several homes Tuesday
more than pleased with the ticket
placed in nomination. The candi
dates are all well-known and that
they will poll an overwhelming ma
jority is to say the least. The del
egates from the different precincts
got what they asked for and there
are no sore spots. The convention
was composed of representative bus
iness men of the county, and their
ticket will receive the heartiest
support of everybody.
Great changes, especially in this
county, has taken place the past
few years due to the introduction
of the steam breaking plow. We
of McLean county pride ourselves
upon the fact that (here are more
steam plows in operation within
the confines of the county than in
any other county in the state. A
steam rig consisting of eight plows
can be operated very cheaply on
account of the low price for fuel.
In a manner this has solved the
question that has bothered those
who purchased threshing rigs, and
for the larger part of the year have
the investment bring in no returns.
The machine man, before the ad
vent of the steamplow considered
himsely lucky if he could get in
forty days during the year thresh
ing. NoW this is all'changed and
during the breaking season the en
gine can be made to take the plaoe
of the horse in front of the plow
jtml made to earn for the owner a
large return on the investment., We
expect to see in a few more years
more farm work being done by the
aid
mt
steam. ,v

"Beavers—Their Ways," is the
name of an interesting book on the
beavers, a subject on which the
author, Mr. Joseph H. Taylor, is
especially fitted to put in book
form. Mr. Taylor has had years
of experience among the beavers
and from a trapper he became a
student and observer of the bea
vers and their ways. The book
contains much of local interest, and
contains many illustrations of the
home and different dams of these
animals in this county. A chap
ter is devoted to the beaver as a
weather prophet.Especially to those
who are not acquainted with the
history of this nearly extinct an
imal they will become thoroughly
interested and repaid in reading
'•Beavers—And Their Ways."Price

THE RECORD.
One of the reasons why Senators
Hansbrongh and McCumber and
Representatives Spalding and Mar
shall are successful in gaining leg
islation of interest to North Dakota
is the fact that they are all work
ing in harmony to accomplish a
common end, thu good of their con
stituents through the enactment of
needed legislation. Neither seeks
to advance his own interest by
forging ahead and gaining some
distinctive glory, nor to hold the
other in check by keeping back
some pet measure of the others.
There is no knifing and no sneak
ing, as sometimes appears in state
legislatures, but stalwart men, as
they all are, and stalwart Repub
lican, they stand together for the
common good.
New Gopher Killer.
George A. Root made a pleasant
call at the Flicker office Monday
and said they had about half their
seeding done and would soon finish
the balance. The ground was still
quits wet, however, and there were a
good many pot holes so wet they had
to seed around them. The ground
generally was in splendid condition
to start off the crop. The gopher
poison furnished by the county was
no good, Mr. Root said,, as the cun
ning little pests would not eat the
poisoned kernels but carried them
to their holes. Whether they af
terwards ate them and died from
the poison, it was difficult to say.
Mr. Root says be has caught large
numbers every day with traps of his
own construction, and he thinks
this the best way to get rid of them.
A good many of them meet death
by digging up the seed wheat that
has been treated with formaldehyde
So it seems that the treatment of
seed wheat with this solution servee
a double purpose, removing the de
structive smut and killing the go
phers if they eat it.—Flickertail
Flicker.
"Newspaper men frequently have
their attention called to the typo
graphical errors which sometimes
get into their publications. If news
paper men knew their business, er
rors would never happen. The peo
ple who discover these errors can
tell you that much. In ah ordinary
column there are about 120,000
pieces of type to be picked up,
right-about-faced and stood right
side up with care. These, in turn,
must be placed in the case, which
necessitates the handling of 240,000
pieces of type each week. Now. if
in the first place the editor gets cor
rect information, and if he writes
it properly, and if the compositor
set it up as he should, and if the
galley .boy knows enough to take a
decent proof and the copyholder is
sober, and if the proof reader marks
the corrections, and if the printer
corrects them, and the makeup gets
the type in the right place and the
pressman prints them as he should
and if the press doesn't smash a
few letters why, it can easily be
seen how unnecessary are these
typographical errors. It certainly
is a very easy matter to ran a news
paper, and to get it absolutely cor
rect. "But these apt scholars, these
all wise and all accurate men who
are so ready to point out the errors
and oversights of the newspaper
men can't tell a piece of type from
a threshing machine or a car wheel.
—Exchange.
Wisconsin and Indiana seem to
have troubles of their own in the
political arena—the republicans
being unable to decide on who
should be governor.
s
Republicans of McLean Co.
Gather in Delegate Con
vention and Place in the
Field Candidates for the
County and Legislative
Offices.
Forty-four out of the forty-seven'
delegates selected by the various
precincts throughout the county
gathered in Washburn Monday and
placed in nomination a county
ticket and selected delegates to the
various district and state conven
tions to represent McLean county,
and thus closed the preliminary
arrangements for the Republican
campaign of 1904 in McLean Co.
While there were some differ
ences between and among different
delegations, it can be truthfully
said that the convention was a har
monious one and but one contest
for place on the county ticket was
carried to the floor of the conven
tion,. that of county judge, between
Messrs. E. A. Lamb and Geo. P.
Gibson, Mr. Lamb securing the
nomination by a vote of 22 to 21.
The candidates selected are rep
resentative men, well and favorably
known to the people of the county,
and have the undivided endorse
ments of the voters of the home
precincts, and all the eandidates
should fare well at the hands of
McLean county electors next No
vember.
The vote at the different prima
ries was flattering and evinced the
fact that the voters took an inter
est in the caucuses although the
season was a busy one. Washburn
led in the number of votes, Den
hoff being a close second with 117
votes, Casselman 89, and so on
down the line, the total votes cast
at the primaries being close to 800.
Convention was called to order by Jqhn Sat
terluud. On motion E. C. Wayderaan was
chosen chairman, Ed X. Moore secretary and
K. F. liamsey, assistant secretary.
Ou motion the chair was authorized to ap.
point the following committees consisting of
tiiree members each: On Kesolutions, On cre
dentials and on Permanent Organization.
I'lie chair appointed the
committees as follows:
On Kesolutions, Messrs Wallin. Breitzmau
anil Kelm.
On Organization, Messrs Ferguson, Bloom
ana Xeal.
On Credentials, Messrs Henry C. Olson, John
Schleuker and L. Seibel.
Ob
motion convention adjourned for fifteen
minutes.
On again assembling the committee on per
manent organization made the report that the
temporary organization be made permanent,
which notion prevailed.
The committee on credentials reported the
seating of the delegates whose credentials had
been acted on l) the central committee.
I'lie committee on resolution made the follow
ing report whicu was duly adopted by the con
vention:

To the cost of a cheap range add
the cost of wasted fuel and re
pairs, and in the end it has cost
more than The Majestic—the stan
dard everywhere. Because the
Majestic is built right—"all the

pay for itself in fuel saved several
times during its long life. With
ordinary care, ..The Majestic will
last a lifetime, with little or no
