l|S^ I'.C-'.-.V 5£.- EMMONS COUNTY RECORD BY D. R. STREETER. Linton, North Dakota. PIONEER PAPER OF THE COUNTY. The Record is entered at tlio Linton office as second-class matter. ANOTHER Thanksgiving is here. And, after you have eaten your tur key, why not do a little retrospective work. Don't you think, now, really, that you have many things to be thankful for? A good many of you resided in Emmons county year after year, often wondering whether you would ever have tlie comforts and conveniences you left "back east." Many Thanksgivings came and went without your being, apparently, any nearer to the fruition of your hopes. You saw many of your neighbors, after waiting many years for bet ter railroad facilities, sell their land for a merely nominal price and go ''back home" to live with their wife's relatives or to fall back into the same old salaried rut of hard work and poor pay. Then, one day, a rumor came that the Soo would "iron the grade." The rumor proved to be true, and soon a road ran across the north eastern part of tiie county. This was a big help but Kmmons is a big coun ty, and a large part of it was still a long distance from market. Then, after a few years, mysterious gangs of surveyors began to show up in different parts of tiie county. Finally the Milwaukee came, and then the -V. L\ As in a night, the old condi tions changed. No more long hauls to Bismarck or Eureka. Telegraphs by which tiie outside world could promptly be communicated with. Next a telephone system connecting many portions of Kmmons with the outside world. X- In tiie old days men sometimes be ^aine tired of their isolation and their distance from market. They proved up and sold a quarter-section for a hundred dollars —in a few cases, less. Some of those same quarters have since sold for as much as sixteen hun dred dollars, and the price of land here is not going backward. Towns have sprung up, elevators have been built, churches and school-houses erected, and the country almost as if by magic has assumed many of the appearances of that in which your old home is siluated. •V.- Not many years ago the finances ago, and we are now only a enough Post- of the state were in a dangerous con dition. Many people could not pay their debts. More than one session of the legislature passed laws putting off for another year the payment of taxes. Many farmers were short of seed wheat, and by legislative enact ment the counties were authorized to furnish seed to such of their citizens as could obtain none otherwise. One public-spirited, big-hearted man in Bismarck- one who had large property interests here—rather than see the country receive a black eye through the desertion of hundreds of farmers who could not procure seed—pur chased thousands of dollars' worth of seed grain and sold it to the farmers on credit at cost, with only personal notes for security, fie said that his property and everybody else's property was valueless if there was an exodus of any considerable number of farm ers, who would go back home and state the truth—that they could not get seed and were compelled to desert. And how about the finances of the county? They were on a par with those of the state and of most of the people. At one time county warrants were as low as sixty-live cents on the dollar, and for years they were away belov face value. Now, everything is done on a cash basis. And then, loo, let us consider the increase in population. ust think of it! There are almost one hundred and twenty thousand more people in the state than there were live years few thou sand behind our southern sister, which had a considerable population years before there were more than a scattered few in tiie northern twin. In 1860 there were in the entire territory of Dakota 4,837 people: in 1870 is 1880, 30,909 in 1890, 182,719 319,146 in addition to population there are more pockets the what now North Dakota had 2,405 in in 1900, 1905, 437,070. And every means that from state taxes are to be which paid. •5r Or And how about the county's in crease in settlement? Notwithstand ing that up to the fall of '98 there was no railroad in the county and farm produce had to be hauled in some instances more than fifty miles to market, tiie re has been an increase shown by every census. In i?84, only three years and a half before the Record was started with an issue of seventy-live copies, the population was 38! This immense aggregation consisted of five or six families resid ing along the river, where they bad lived for years, hunting, raising little garden patches, caring for their live stock, and some of them adding to 1 their income by A:have furnishing cotton- wood fuel to the numerous steam -boats that in earlier days did business' on the issou ri. From 38 1880 the |g population had by 1890 grown to 1,971, ^fin spite of the discouraged ones who ||£bad pulled out and sought another ^shome. In 1900 the population had ^Increased to 4,349, and by the census •taken last summer we are shown to 6,418 people within our borders. In all parts or the county there are ^settlers—some of whom have been here but a few years—who are well wtT*p fixed in a financial sense to be reasonably sure of a comfortable and Independent condition through life. In fact, all over the county, those who have been here ten to a dozen years and not in good circumstances are the exception rather than the rule. On account of' nearness to mar ket the chance of newcomers doing well is much better than it was in the early days of settlement, when your load of wheat wouldn't much more than pay the expc uses of marketing. It has come to be a truism that any one who will work will do well in North Ta'cota, and particularly in North Dakota's garden spot-the Mis souri Slope. And so, to-day, when you shove your chair from the dinner table, pick the bits of turkey from your teeth and wipe the cranberry sauce from your whiskers, just think a bit: and, if you do, it won't be hard to convince yourself that, instead of being an empty and hollow function, this day should indeed be one of thansksgiv ing for the many blessings lhat have come to you in your chosen home. IT is hard to satisfy tiie noted gen tleman who publishes the Neclie Chronotype—lie of the strong intel lectuality and the chaste and logical language. lie now "has it in" for botli of the Linton moral levers. For several moons the Record has been persona non grata to the mental giant of tiie border town, and now our steamed cotetnporary published in the bat cave is the object of his vvratli. One virtue about Llie Neclie chap is that lie is never personal, but always takes his argumentative scalps through the medium of his remark able reasoning powers and the clear ness of his logic. Senator llans brough has done well in securing tiie services of this great writer for the new Grand Forks paper that is to sound for Winsliip the crack of busi ness and political doom. Winsliip has been generally admitted to be about the best in the state in the write line, but it is doubtful if he will attempt to cross swords with tiie profound thinker, astute political economist and deeply logical reasoner who emerges from the haystacks of Neche and goes l'ortl-i—Alexander like—in search of new worlds to con quer. But this is what the profound thinker from the boundary savs about the bat-cave editor: "As time elapses it becomes more and more apparent that, whatever may have been his motive in tiie premises, the Emmons county gum shoe statesman rendered the people of this commonwealth a really valu able service when lie prevented the pusillanimous Patterson [note the euphony of the alliteration] from an nexing himself, leech-like, to the pub lic-patronage trough. There may be a possibility that one may be led to somewhat misjudge this cur by the tone of his yelp but such a contin gency appears to be so remote as to be scarcely worthy of even the slightest consideration." Tiie Record has for years been un successfully endeavoring to convince the bald-headed youth of the error of his ways. But tiie above paragraph ought certainly to do the business, for its logic is unanswerable. TIIE Grand Forks Tress (the old Plaindealer) is, more and more, get ting to be an echo of the prohibby Grand Forks Herald. There is plenty of evidence to show that Winsliip owns both papers. True, one is demo cratic and the other professedly re publican. But there isn't much dif ference between democracy and the Winsliip brand of republicanism. THE business men of Bismarck are forming a commercial club. Over a thousand dollars have been contribut ed. A comfortable club-room will be provided, and there will be some or ganized head when work is to be done for the betterment of the Slope me tropolis and the country naturally tributary thereto. TWENTY-ONE YEARS AGO [The snow-storm this week having made items very "skase," the editor thinks a summary of tiie news print ed in the Record of Nov. 20,1884, may be interesting.] Treasurer J. "N. Hoop issues a no tice to tax-payers. Mr. Skinner, of the Uismarck-Biils port half-way house, is very sick. George Dougherty prints a sum mons in a suit against J. IT. Steven son. A Thanksgiving party is to be held at the house of Postmaster Robinson, Glencoe. II. A. Armstrong and E. T. Herrick, the only lawyers in the county, have ads in the Record. The Record was six-column, but was about to be enlarged to seven coluttins to the page. Before Billsport school-house is turned over by the contractor a dance is to be held therein. Mrs. A. M. Weller has just begun the first term «f public school ever held in Gayton district. Billsport is about to have a black smith shop, with Mr. Ludvigson, late of Denmark, at the bellows. Aquilla Croghan returned from the timber with five deer. Dave Yeater "killed two that got away." Commissioner Bob Whitney went to Chicago to spend the whatver money he winter and— may have saved up. J. H. Stevenson "borrowed" a num ber of buffalo overcoats from men In the Blllsports neighborhood before he departed. S. E. Kurtz made a trip down to Beaver Valley and saw some beautiful country on the way. Also saw twelve deer in one herd. Buchanan postolllce about to be es tablished. Named after a pioneer of the valley, and with Mrs. Isena Good win as postmaster. There are sixty-three Bismarck dis play ads printed in the Record—as a result of the strenuous canvassing of Mrs. Josephine Streeter. Residents along the river complain that Billsport hunters are killing the timber by shooting into the trees bullets intended for deeir. Township Clerk George Peters gives notice that there will be an election in Cherry Grove district to vote on bonds for building a school-house on 10-136-70. William L. Yeater, James B. Gay ton and Robert S. Whitney are tiie county commissioners. Minutes of tiie meeting of Nov. 24tli are about four inches in length. Charlie Edick announces that he will soon begin tiie mining of coal not at the mine he afterward opeucd, but at the home ranch, about three miles west of Williatnsport. Miss Libbie Kurtz, Miss Edna Con nor and Mr. E. C. Campbell were ap pointed a committee to raise funds with which to buy an organ for Bills port Sunday-school. They succeeded. S. 15. Kurtz lost a horse and found it south of Beaver Creek, through an ad in the Record. Which moved the ed itor to say: "Moral.—Every citizen of Emmons should take the county pa per." F. D. Walker, a director in Cherry Grove, issues a notice that Director J. II. Stephenson has absconded, tak ing with him $1,200 belonging to said district. [Stephenson has never been rounded up.] The Gayton correspondent notes a visit from Tom Kelly and says: "We always kill a yellow-legged chicken when we know Tom is coming." Sheriff William V- Wade was the correspondent. Livona correspondent reports, among other things, that there are lots of deer in the timber that Wes ley Baker is siding his house, and that William Grogan is low with consump tion and is not expected to recover. Landlord Bates, at Glencoe, lias a cow that he hides behind and steers her alongside of the flocks of geese that alight in his cornfield. Then, when near enough, he stops and the cow moves on. Biff! Bang! and a goose or geese bite the dust. He has killed twenty-eight geese that way this fall. So Bates says. Mr. Chamberlain, of Gayton, just returned from the "Mouse River country." He was to lake his band of horses from Horsehead (Hampton) valley to the Valley of the Mouse, as there were no settlers except a few stockmen there and plenty of hay and range. With Minot a big city and Ward county polling the biggest vote in the state, things are different now. Well, there's snow enough now to last awhile. It has banked up quite a bit in the streets of Linton, and the healthful, muscular exercise of snovv shoveling has been popular of late. The Hampton mail failed to get in Monday. Tuesday morning the car rier started out but the snow drifts were too much for him. So he re turned and made a successful go of it on the roof of a steed. A. L. Raynolds [who afterwards is supposed to have accidently shot him self while living on what is now the W. E. Petrie ranch, a few miles east of Linton] writes under the head of "Beaver Creek:" "Beaver valley is having an immigration boom. Five new settlers arrived this week, and all settled on unsurveyed land W. E. Clark is building a house. Mr. Clark recently found the skeleton of two persons (supposed to be white men) on his claim (not far from Petrie's ranch, on the creek.) Re mains of a tent and part of a gun stock were also found near the bones. Appearances seemed to indicate that the men had been killed while in their tent When you are sounding the praises of this county, Mr. Ed itor, don't forget to mention that the Beaver valley was formerly the Gar den of Eden, and that plenty of good claims can be had here." Refused to Budge. The N. P. flyer that heats the rails several times a week between the capital commission city and the smiling metropolis on the banks of the bounding Beaver didn't materialize Monday, nor Tuesday, nor Wednesday, nor any other old day so far this week. There was quite a bit of snow in the atmosphere but, nevertheless, at the time for departure from the former place—which is the hour of 00 q. m.— the conductor and bulgineer tied on their hats so that the rushing air wouldn't blow 'em off and got ready to start. But Old Scrap-Iron Bill, who had been taken to the round house stable to get his supper, refused to budge. He said that he was old and feeble, that he ached in every joint that he had rheumatic pains in his bones that the way was long and dreary that it was warm and comfortable in the stable, and that he'd be blowed (up) if he'd hit the road such a night as that for the president of the N. P. company, him self. So, as it is written in the Book of Rules that no bulgine except Old Bill shall be allowed to haul the Lin ton flyer, it was necessary to abandon the train. But, when the roses bloom in the spring, tra, la, perhaps we shall see Old Bill again. Walsh county reports some fine orchards. Minto is to be afflicted with two tel ephone systems. A Nebraska colony is to locate in Foster county next spring. Anamoose will have another 20,000 bushel elevator in the spring. Forty-seven new buildings have been erected in Rugby this season. Griggs county claims to have the finest horses of any section of the state. The town of Maxbass is shy one hotel-keeper, and some of his creditors are sorry. Prohibition still continues to be a thing of beauty and a joy forever.— Devils Lake News. Many farmers and ranchers in Stuts man county lost all their hay in the recent prairie fires. All over the state school pupil§ from the rural districts are moving into town for the winter. The reorganizes seem to be endeav oring to escape some of the converts they have made.—Forum. Mcintosh county is reported to have a resident who is the proud father of seventeen children—all living. The new town of Rolette is to have a new band, arrangements for that purpose having been perfected. Thad Michael, of the Willow City Eagle, has the indorsement of the Bottinean News for one job—dog catcher. II. N. Dolve, of Portland, is an im partial man. He has one son at the agricultural college and another at the state university. Thieves stole a team from J.

Bring your Butter, Eggs, Hides and Poultry. High est market price guaranteed. Our aim is to please you. Respectfully, The Linton Leader AROUND THE STATE EAST SIDE OF BROADWAY H. Hurt, of Island Lake, Rolette county. Hart had fed the animals oats, and the thief took them away before the oats had been eaten. A drunken thrasher swiped a team at Hankinson and was overtaken. He demonstrated that he didn't know what he wasdoing, and was permitted to leave after he sobered up. A Pierce county homesteader is threatened with acontest for agreeing to sell a telephone company right of way across his farm. This appears to be drawing the line pretty fine. P. Bertleson, of Kenmare, received an anonymous letter containing $25 in bills to pay a bill. He thinks some one appropriated an article from his store and later his conscience got busy. Near Velva Mrs. Henry Kahler was shot in the thigh by her four-year-old daughter. A small rifle had been placed on the table, and the little girl got busy. The father was away on a hunting trip. Warnings are being published in the western papers against the care less scattering of lignite ashes, as these ashes hold fire sometimes for days after they have been removed from the stove. The Farmers' Elevator at Leal broke open recently and several thou sand bushels of grain ran to the ground. This is the second case of tilling elevators too full, resulting in damage to the building. The Kensal elevator was damaged from the same cause. A state exchange says: The North Dakota newspapers may now, for a while, stop roasting their local mer chants for having their job printing done in the cities. A job printers' strike has made it impossible to get letter-heads printed in the cities at any price.—Forum. Not long ago no one thought of such a thing as raising wheat in the sec tion of the state where Bowbells is located. This year, in spite of the large elevator capacity of the place, it has been found necessary to build tem porary storage quarters for 150,000 bushels of wheat, and still there Is not room enough. Washburn Leader: In a melee on one of the boats which was unloading at this point, Thursday, a Russian German named Joe Beines had the end of his nose cut nearly off, and was cut on the shoulder, it is alleged, by a knife in the hands of John Wade, in while the latter was under the fluence of the bowl that cheers. In the decision of the capitol com mission case it seems that, if the amendment to the bill which included the erection of a governor's house had specified a sum as the limit of the cost of the same, the capitol commis sion bill would have been declared constitutional by the court. So the declarations of those who for per sonal or political motlves'are now at tempting to make it appear that the commission itself was discredited by the decision of the court, are un warranted by the facts and only dis play a cheap animosity that has no weight with those who believe in fair conclusions from facts, instead of slurs.—Jamestowh Alert. The Washbnrn Leader savs or a former North Dakota newspaper man: One of our county exchanges says that Fred Harris, formerly of the McLean County Miner, and who while in McLean county was imprisoned for seduction, is now with his "only" wife in Minneapolis. It might have been added, in the way of explanation, that as soon as the printers' strike was on he was one of the first "rats" to turn up to take the place of the union printers. According to State Supt. Stockwell's interpretation of the new school law regarding the taking of the census in special and independent school dis tricts, "the census shall be taken from June 1 to 20, at the same time it is taken in other districts, instead of from December 1 to 20, as heretofore. The new law further piovides that at the close of each month teachers shall make a report of the number of pupils enrolled and the number of days they attended. It is from these reports that the school apportionments will be made." The Kenmare Journal says: editor of the Journal has been inti mately acquainted with each member of the capital commission for years, and believes he can state without fear of contradiction that three men of better business ability and integ rity cannot be chosen from the citi zens of North Dakota. Furthermore, all three of these gentlemen are old timers in this state and have worked long and hard in its constuction, and we know of no good reason why they should not have been chosen on this commission." Bre'r Lampman, of the Chronotype, this week gives the Capitol commis sion a boost with one hand and swats the Pioneer Express with the other— for doing the same thing. It's one of the funny things about Lampman that he can't even go in the same direction as another fellow, without walking backward. Regular old crab. He is just the same with the new departure political chaps and the old fellows. Hasn't any use for the "Divine" crowd, but kicks up behind at the MeKenzie following. Verily, Bre'r Lampman will have to buy a bunch of matches and go and make a little hades of his own.—Pembina Pioneer Express. ADDITIONAL LOCALS ^Bob-sleds for sale at the Linton Bazar. S. G.
