The Mandan Pioneer thinks
Grand Forks and Fargo might as
well quit scrapping as eventually
tbe state fair will be located at
Mandan.
It has been announoed by
General Traffic Manager Craig, of
the Great Northern, that on July
1st, the new passenger rates will
be inaugurated in North Dakota.
The rate will be 2$ cents in North
Dakota and 2 cents in Minnesota.
An exchange makes a comment
that might be well for sopie of our
citizens to observe, "Now that
preparations are underway for a
proper observance of Decoration
Day, it would be a good plan for
somebody to taKe a little interest
in the appearance of the cemetery.
A visit to the burying ground will
convince anyone that a few .dollars
spent in grading and mowing
would not only enhance the appear
ance of the enclosure, but would
be a sign to a stranger that the
people of this city may not be
classed, with those who sleep.

Last Saturday "ze wind she blew
a hurricane" and on Sundajr "she
blew some more," sending olouds
of North Dakota's incomparable
soil hurling through the air and
undoing all of the housewives
spring cleaning. But on Monday
the blessed dew began to fall from
heaven, soon turning to snow and
it snowed all' day and all night,
«V.V. -J. I
ff
It soon melted before the mid-day
sunshine and the noise bf the
wheat bursting up through the
ground drowns the music of the
frogs. Heavy snow storms at this
season are a trifle unconventional,
but the moisture was worth at a
conservative estimate thirtv-five
cents an acre.—Sheldon Progress
The auditors of the state held a
very successful annual meeting in
Grand Forks last Tuesday. The
laws recently passed affecting
duties of county auditors were
discussed.
A
good many timid people are
already declaring the northwestern
crop a failure. This will be the
case from now on till the harvest.
The crop will be shown to have
suffered all sorts and kinds of
damage from late.spring, frost,
cinch bug^, rust blight and the
other evils attendant upon the
raising of grain, and then when
the harvest conies around, strange
ly enough, it will be learned that
North Dakota has raised a splen
did crop and that the preliminary
scares were not of any great conse
quence. The wheat crop of th§
Northwest is like the Deleware
peach crop—it is destroyed several
times every year and then yields
amazingly.—Tribune.
We are always glad to welcome
good newspaper men to our county
and to judge from the following
clipping, from the Jamestown
Capital, we must have three new
ones, but where are they? 'We
need two additional compositers
at this office. In the past two
weeks, the Capital has sent two
persons to establish a newspaper
in McLean county, another went
to take charge of a newspaper in
that same county, two others work
ed a while and then with prosperity
went to fight with Murray in the
destruction of booze while the last
is down with typhoid fever. Still
the sun shines through the clouds
and we hope to secure additional
help soon. But six in two -weeks
is going rapidly.'....

STARS.
PHOTOGRAPHING
When Don* With Ordinary Camera
They 8tiow a* Liner, Not 8pecka.
It Is an easy matter merely to pho
tograph stars. The trouble is to pic
ture them as points and not as streaks,
for as tbe earth rotates it carries the
photographic apparatus with it, and
the light from the star makes a line,
while the astronomer wants a point
He must therefore, devise a machine
that will counteract the movement of
the earth and so keep the light steadily
In the same place on the plate. Elab
orate clockwork must turn the lens
backward to keep it on the star and at
the same rate as that at which the
earth moves forward.
An astronomer at the Yerkes observ
atory at Williams Bay, Wis., is quoted
In St. Nicholas as saying that "many
of the most important results of as
tronomy have been derived from the
use of an ordinary camera. On a clear
night point one of these toward the
north pole, and it will be found after
an exposure of one or two hours that
the stars whifih lie near the pole have
drawn, arcs of circles upon the plate.
This Is due to the fact that the earth
is rotating upon its axis at such a rate
as to cause every star in the sky to
appear to travel through a complete
circle once in twentr-four hours.
The mere act of pqptographlng is not
much more difficult than a short ex
posure out of the window of a moving
car. Any oue can try it.
Let the exposure be for at least five
minutes if the camertr is poluted over
head and for at least one hour if di
rected toward the pole star. The cam-!
era may be left out all night if pointed
at the pole, but must be taken in just
before daylight. The longer the ex
posure the longer the star "scratches."
Develop the plate as long as possible.
DRIVING THE LOGS.
Skill and Activity of the Expert River
man In Action
"First and foremost youi true river
man can ride a log. This do..?s not mean
merely that he is able to stund upright
or to jump from one to another with
out splashing in, though even that is
no mean feat, as a trial will convince
you. That is the kindergarten of it
The saw log in the water is not only
liis object of labor, but bis means of
transportation. Your true rive*man on
drive seldom steps on land except to
eat and sleep.
A journey down stream is to ulm an
affair of great simplicity. He pushes
Into the current a stick of timber,
jumps lightly atop it, leans against his
peavy and floats away as graceful and
motionless as a Grecian statue. When
his unstable craft overtakes other logs
he deserts it, runs forward as far as ho
can, the logs bobbing and awash be
hind his spring, and so continues on
another timber. Jack Boyd once for a
bet rode for twelve miles down Grand
river on a Tog he could carry to the
stream's bank across his shoulders
Fully half tbe time his feet were sub
merged to tbe ankles.
Nor does quick water always cans*
your expert rlverman to disembark.
Using his peavy as a balancing pole
and treading with squirrel-like quick
ness as his footing rolls, he will run
rapids of considerable force and vol
ume. When the tail of a drive passes
through the chute of a dam there" are
always half a- dozen or so of the rear
men who out of sheer bravado will run
through standing upright like circus
riders and yelling like fiends.—Stewart
Edward White in Outing Magazine.
Marriage Expenses*
Careful observation, extending oyer a
period of forty-two years and supple1
mented by thousands of interviews
with storekeepers, hairdressers, mo
distes, milliners, collectors and others,
leads us to believe that tbe average
cost bf a bride's trousseau In this coun
try—taking the rich with the poor—Is
the sum of $66.38. Equally careful ob
servation convinces us that the av*
erage cost of a bridegroom's sartorial
outfit is slightly less than one-third
that amount, or, to be exact, $22.01.
Thus we have $88.39 as the cost of tbe
garments worn by bride and bride
groom at the average wedding and in
the course of the average honeymoon.

Long Lived Razors.
"How long have you had this razor?"
asked the barber.
"A dozen years."
"Well," said he, "that is. not bad.
If no record, though. Lots of my cus
tomers have razors that they've owned
twenty and twenty-five years and used
too. Why, one old man gets me to
hone every three months a razor be
bought over forty years ago. And itfs
suoh a good razor yet that this old
mail's son, whenever he wants a vel
vet shave, goes to his dad and borrows
the veteran razor. A razor that with
googl use won't last twenty-five years
Is no razor at all."—New York Press.
Youraeif.
If you wish to be miserable you'must"
think about yourself, about what you
want what
you like, what respect people
'ought to pay you, and then to you noth
ing-will be pure. You will spoil every
thing you touch, you will make'sin and
misery for yourself out of everything
which God sends you and you will be
