hot drying winds and cold hard

VALLEY CITY, N. D.
The director of the census bureau
sees a way to save the country a great
deal of expense by having the city and
rural mail carriers take the next cen
sus of population. The last census,
that of 1910, cost Uncle Sam $14,000,000.
If less questions were asked the car
riers could do the work. The next cen
sus of agriculture will be in 1915 and is
estimated to cost about $2,000,000.
It really seems as though it would be
going it a little too strong if the legisla
ture allowed an appropriation of $50,000
to be made for the establishment of a
state exhibit at the 1915 Panama-Pacific
Exposition in San Francisco. We be
lieve in advertising but this state is
pretty young to start out with such ex
travagances.
The third week of the legislature has
passed and the work on passing bills has
just commenced. About a hunderd
bills have been introduced in each
house. This will give the committees
some work before the bills are passed.
At present the work is progressing
peaceably and there seems to be little
excitement in the capital city.
The farewell reception given for
Governor and Mrs. John Burke at Bis
marck a short time ago has been fav
orably commented upon over the entire
state. Valuable gil'ts were presented to
each of them as kind remembrances
from many freinds. Short talks were
given by those attending the re
ception and the governor was at
a loss for words, as he said, for the
first time in his life, when making a
reply to presentation speeches. Mr.
and Mrs. Burke will spend the winter
in the south.
The Napoleon Homestead published a
good article about supporting your
home paper. It reads as follows: The
local newspaper is indispensible to any
town that has any get-up about it. It
is one of the necessaries of the farmer
and business man. It puts the ball in
motion when any new enterprise is pro
posed that would be a benefit to the
town and community in which it is
published. It keeps an eye on every
move that is calculated to help the
people. It keeps a record of the hap
penings of the town and the surround
ing country and is read a thousand
miles away by persons who are hunt
ing a home and a place to invest their
money. It booms your town and gives
it a name
abroad
that it would other­
wise not have. There are thousands of
reasons why a town should support a
newspaper, but the greatest of all is
because it pays and pays well to sup
port it. Don't knock it. It is liable to
return the compliment at a time when
a strong and vigorous kick will do the
most good. The local paper is a medi
um for good but it is well and scientifi
cally trained in the art of unmasking
an unscrupulous, selfish and narrow
minded knocker when the occasion
Death of Mrs. Smith
Died, Jan. 17, 1913, at her home in
the Ingersol neighborhood ten miles
north of Washburn. Mrs. L. S. Smith.
On October 2, 1856, in a small town
in Michigan, Kittie Isham was born.
She grew to womanhood in the home of
her childhood and was united in mar
riage to Charles Fields, one son was
bom to them but 'was spared but a few
years when death took him.
In March 1899 at Coon Rapids, Iowa,
she was married to L. S. Smith and
moved to this state in 1900. Mr. Smith
had previously entered his homstead
and this has been their home since.
Mrs. Smith has been in poor health for
some time and on the 12th day of last
December had a stroke of paralysis
since which time she has grown weaker
until death came to relieve her from
this suffering Jan. 17. From fhildhood
she had been a member of a Christian
church and lived an exemplary life. A
large concourse of people attended the
funeral services which were conducted
by Rev. D. D. Mitchell of Washburn.
Beautiful floral decorations express
the high esteem in which she was held.

Court House Notes
The old county jail, that is one of
Washburn's landmarks,,has been sold
and the upper part of the building re
moved. C. A. Brummund will use it as
an ice house. The lower part or first
story was made of stone and it still
stands but is in poor condition. This
jail was built in 1884 and has been the
boarding place of many prisoners until
the new jail w*s erected when Ole
Gradin was sheriff.
Godfrey Reimers proved up on a
homestead before Cleric of Court Han*
son. Mr. Reimers is 78 years old and
has lived alone during the last four
years. He has had a number of ex
periences during that time, and re
called one that he will long remember.
During the June raise one year the
Missouri river overflowed its banks and
as his claim is on the bottoms at Big
Bend he got the full force of the over
flow. To save himself from being
drowned he climbed upon the roof of
the barn where he had to stay one
whole day and night without anything
to eat and until his neighbors took him
away in a row boat.
Judge W. L. Nuessle held his first
term of district court here on Jan. 10th
with Chas. Wadham as court steno
grapher. The case tried was that of
the state vs. Mr. Schafer of Coleharbor.
Geo. Stohler was the principle witness
in the case and he testified to the ill
treatment the two older children in the
Schafer family were receiving. The
judge appointed Mr. Stohler guardian.
He is to keep the children in his home
and give them an education. A month
ly report is to be sent to the judge from
the guardian and also the children.
The two younger Shafer children were
left with their parents.
County Superintendent J. L. Brekken
reports that both Mercer and Max will
build new school houses this year.

We are just now planning our cam
paign for land buyers for the 1913 sea
son. Our agents in Minnesota and
South Dakota are lining up prospective
buyers. We consider the 1912 season
closed now and in summing up our re
cord we find that it was not a good year
for the land business—still we did fair
ly well. We actually sold 31 quarters
of McLean County land in 1912. This
land was mostly tributary to Washburn
and with few exceptions was improved
farming land and the buyers were South
Dakota people-who will move here and
farm. Last year we confined our
operations to the vicinity of Washburn.
This season, however, we want to ex- we have every requisite. Tooth pow
tend our territory and our business and' ders, pastes and washes, toilet waters,
will operate and do business any where soaps, perfumeries, powders, creams,
within a radius of 50 miles of Wash- brushes, sponges, etc. We keep none
burn. We expect to do an extensive but standard qualities at the drag store,
land business and we want to list not Provide your dressing table with our
less than 200 farms. We expect to
have a good run of buyers and we want
to have a good list of lands to select
from. If you are interested in
some of your land holdings you
write or see us and list your land. Now
is the time to list your land if you
really care to sell. Do not wait until
next spring or summer if you want to
sell, but arrange and list now and take
advantage of having it advertised.
This is the fourteenth season that we
have sold land in this county and we
are the most extensively advertised
land firm in this part of the state we
also make more sales than any other
land firm in the county. We are now
offering our service to those who want
to sell their lands.
