John Ames of north of the city
who was in town Sunday attending
services at the St. Joseph's church
told The Tribune that threshing
was about completed between his
place and the Canadian line and
that most of the threshing rigs
had already pulled in for the sea
son. A few pieces of flax here and
there are still in evidence, but all
other grains are already .threshed.
All fields in Mr. Arnes' neighbor
hood yielded exceptionally well and
there were many surprises during
threshing time.
A. E. Stutzman on Friday last
finished threshing on his farm in
Minnesota township and was very
agreeably surprised on the way the
grain went. His wheat which
seemed to be nothing out of the or
dinary threshed 22 bushels to the
acre on the whole farm, and one
tract of flax went 18 bushels while
another made eleven. Though
this is not the best crop Mr. Stutz
man has raised since moving into
this Bowbells country, it is one of
the best, and just now you couldn't
buy" his farm from him for any
price. Many other fields north of
the city are going as good and even
better.
One of the best travelling thea
trical companies to visit Bowbells
for a good long time was the San
ford Dodge Company which ap
peared in the local upera house on
Friday evening of last week to a
packed house in "The Right of
Way." Many of our people had
read the book and were anxious to
see the play. Every member of
the troupe was an artist in his line
and Sanford Dodge, the leading
man, especially pleased the audi
ence. Manager Powers is to be
congratulated on getting this com
pany to play here, and he may rest
assured that the patronage will be
forthcoming in every instance in
the future that he contracts for as
able a company as this.
J. L. Martin, one of the leading
general merchants of Coteau, was
in the city on Monday last looking
after business matters and while
comparing notes with The Tribune
informed us that the mail order
business which he had recently ad
ded to his retail trade was fast
growing into big proportions, and
that many people residing in the
vicinity of his town who had been
in the habit of patronizing differ
ent mail order houses since getting
Mr. Martin's catalog have compar
ed the prices on several staple ar
ticles and found that .they could
do fetter in giving the local man
theil order than they could by
sending it- elsewhere. Orders are
coming in daily from all over the
Coteau territory and the business
is increasing right along.
S. J. Dishart, one of the enter
prising farmers of near Coteau, is
this week moving from his former
place of residence to the Joe Wa
leett place just outside the limits
of Coteau. .. He will work the Wa
leen place in addition to his own,
and by residing nearer the rail
road he will be better able to serve
his long list of customers with veg
etables and other garden sass dur
ing (the summer and fall. In talk
ing ivith The Tribune the fore
part of the week he informed us
that the past season has been by
far the beBt he had ever experi
for raising garden truck here, in
fact he even raised more than lie
has sb far been able to dispose of.
Mr. Dishart has always been able
to grow a better crop of vegetab
les. than anyone in this part of the
state, and his crop this fall with
out »ny question must have been a
one
toy the *»y he talks.

to his home at Fargo Wednesday
night after spending a few days
here on business. Mr. Shea has
many friends in Bowbells who are
always glad to meet and greet him
whenever his business brings him
here.
The Tribune has been asked to
announce a basket ball social at
School House No. 4, Bowbells town
ship, on Wednesday evening, Nov.
27, to which the public in general
is invited. The proceeds of the af
fair will go towards buying an or

everyone to do their best in help

The next number of the lyceum

entertainers travelling through the

ple. People in Bowbells and vicin
ity should by all means see this en
tertainment as nothing better was

M. N. Ledene, the land and loan
man of Powers Lake and vice pres
ident of one of the banks in that
city, was in the city several days
this week attending the session of
district court, and did not fail to
pay his respects to The Tribune
while here. In talking over dif
ferent matters he confined to us
the fact that business in Powers
Lake this fall was better than it
had ever been before and that all
people there were growing fat on
the big crop raised in that vicinity.
Money is piling up in his bank in
unusually large proportions and
many who owe obligations which
are not yet due are insisting on
payment at once. Mr. Ledeue as
sured us that he had never seen a
more prosperous community in his
life, or a more contented lot of peo
ple than there exists at Powers
Lake right now.
Our old friend Andrew Clark,
resident near Villa, one of the jur
ors at the present term of district
court, paid this office a pleasant
call on Monday afternoon of this
week and from him we learned
that he had finished threshing his
crop last week and that the .wheat
went 18 bushels to the acre, this
being the average yield in that
community, though several fields
went considerably better. One of
his neighbors, Jens Molgaard,
threshed 22 bushels of wheat to
the acre on a large tract. 'There
is yet a great deal of threshing to
be done in the vicinity of Villa,
Mr. Clark tells us, but several days
of good weather will clean it up.
During the past two months there
have been no machines in that
neighborhood and it was impossible
to get any threshing done until
the rigs had finished work in oth
er sections. Within .the past few
days four or five rigs have pulled
in and if the weather stays good
they will make quick work of what
ever threshing there is left.
THE BEST BOOKS ON FARMING.
Any community in North Dakota
can have a library of best agricul
tural books. The State Library
Commission at Bismarck sends these
libraries out The only cost to the
one receiving them is the freight..

books. Write the State Library
Commission at Bismarck for a de
scription of the libraries. These
books will make interesting and
profitable reading for the winter ev
enings.

Leslie Burrows leaves next week
for Claremont, Ontario, where he
expects to stay for a year or more

their solicitation that he is taking

ery, give lessons in embroidery and
punch work at Mrs. Johnson's mil
inery parlors on Friday and Satur
day, Nov. 29 and 30. All ladies in
Bowbells and vicinity are cordially
invited to call and see her display.
Cashier C. E. Hovland of the
First State Bank of Coteau, was in
the city a few days this week very
much against his will, having been
subpeonaed as a witness in one of
the cases at the present term of
district court. In comparing notes
with The Tribune he told us that
he had an awful lot of work piled
up at home and that his presence
there was almost imperative. He
opined that he would be working
over time from now until Christmas
to make up for what time he lost
while here.
Geo. Cudliie of Crosby, who is al
ways bragging of the town he re
sides in and Divide county, was in
the city a few days this week at
tending court. As usual he told us
all about the good things that were
happening in the county seat town
and also of the many good things
that were going to happen. Out
side of this bragging proclivity Mr.
Cudhie is a pretty decent sort of a
fellow.
Frank Woods puiled in on Mon
day of this week after a success
ful threshing season, and is spend
ing this wTeek in balancing his
books to ascertain just how much
money his Big Four gas tractor
produced since spring outside of
the expenses incident to operating
it. He cleaned off ail unusually
large piece of ground this fall in
threshing, and there are very few
threshers in the county that clean
ed UP more money that he did at
this business.
The Tribune learns that the fore
part of the week Albert Ihm sold
his farm to Wm. Huth of south of
Coteau. This property numbers
among the very best places in Burke
county, and though Mr. Ihm regrets
losing possession or it he says he
got his price, while Mr. Huth is
confident that the land is worth ev
en more than he paid for it and
says he wouldn't take $500 for his
bargain. The deal was made
through the Burke County State
Bank of this city.
Nels Peterson of near Coteau was
a caller at The Tribune office one
day this week and while swapping
stories he gave us the information
that if the weather staid good he
would thresh next Tuesday. He
sated that most of his neighbors
already had their crops threshed
and that it was just his luck that
he didn't have his in the bin in
sead of the shock. Mr. Peterson's
crop this year is a great deal bet
ter than the average and the only
thing that is worrying him just
now is getting it threshed.
Bert Purdy, who was very much
in evidence in this city in the early
days, having come here with the
earliest settlers from Superior, Wis.,
and up to the time of the big fire
conducted a bakery and confection
ery store here, was in the city a
few days ago renewing acquain
tances and shaking hands with his
many friends. It will be remem
bered that Mr. Purdy left Bow
bells immediately after the fire
for some point in Montana and
that about two years after his de
parture a report reached here to
the effect that he died in an asylum
in that state. While in the city
he proved beyond any doubt that
he was very much alive and assured
us that he never felt any better
than he did now. He is now on
the road for a Minneapolis firm.
On Monday afternoon of this
week the front of the Opera Pool
Parlers in this city caught fire
from the lighting plant and it was
only with great difficulty that same
was put out. The lighting system
which is also used for cooking
meals in the place was not work
ing the way it should and "Curly"
Caldwell was called to do some ex
pert work on it. While doing this
expert work some gasolene escaped
and caught Are. The counter as
well as the other wood work in the
vicinity of the generator was
scorched and the big plate glass
window nearby was broken in sev
eral places. Outside of this no
other damage was done except to
the generator of the lighting plant
and this was ruined. The fire de
partment was called out and one of
the chemical engines was emptied
into the flames before, they were
Bubdued.

part of the week looking after the
interests of Romeo Coin pea ux in
the case of Compeaux vs. Wiper
which comes off at the present term
of court.
A boy's short sheep skin lined
coat was found on the streets of
Bowbells by Oscar Steen of near
Flaxton and he promptly brought
same to The Tribune office to await
the identification of the owner. We
would be glad to have the properly
claimed as soon as possible.
Sam Diamond of Diamond town
ship was among the notables from
south of the city to spend several
days here this week in attending
court. Mr. Diamond has been in
evidence at every term of court
held in this city since the county
was organized and is among the
very few out of town people who
hold such a record.
Hon. B. L. Bogart of Eugene,
Ore., who owns some farm laud
here and also some interest in one
of the local banks, spent several
days the fore part of the week here
in looking after business matters.
He left Wednesday night for the
east where he will spend some time
in looking over a few loan propo
sitions before goiug back to his
home at Eugene.
The Tribune wishes to call its
reader's attention to the article
in his paper written by Rev. Sam
son under the head of "Church and
Home." This article tells about,
the special services which will be
held at the Presbyterian church
here on Thanksgiving day. Much
time has been used in making pre
parations for these services and all
people in the city should plan on
being present.
Staale Hendrickson was among
the notables to visit this city dur
ing court week and spent several
days in convincing prospectives that
they should carry some rife insur
ance. At the same time he made
known that he was a candidate for
the office of speaker of the next
session of the legislature of which
he will be a member. There are
four other candidates for this po
sition and Staale opines that there
will be some kind of a scrap at the
opening of the next session of the
law-makers as who will wield the
gavel.
States Attorney J. J. Coyle of
Ward county who resides at Minot
and is one of the best known law
yers residing in that city, was among
the many barristers to visit this
city during court week, he having
several important cases to try.
From the way Mr. Coyle has been
chasing among the various county
seats in this section of the state
during the past month or so we
would take it that he is the busi
est man in the state. As a lawyer
he is very successful, and his ser
vices are in great demand.
