GOSSIEAND NOTES.
It was a conundrum.
Election day was observed in Lang
don as a legal holiday.
v^--€!tTzen papers were issued last week
•"by Judge Sauter to 178 new citizens.
The highest price reached by flax on
the local market this fall was $1.61.
i" The county board meet today tocan
vess the vote cast at Tuesday's election.
i- Jim Reed is the only man-iiTtown
who has the electoral vote for president
down pat.
The Milfcon Globe will accept cash on
subscriptions—regardless of who is
elected president.
Several cases of scarlet fever are pre
vgptifli'g children from attending school
--•fitthe present time.
{Those holding claims out in the
country had to vote there or subject
there hqmestead to contests.
The president has issued big procla
mation that November 28 will be
observed as Thanksgiving day.
Saturday's republican rally in which
Attorney-General Comstock was ex
pected to be the speaker did'nt ma
terialize.
It was ideal campaign weather all
week and none kicked on the sample
handed out by the weather clerk elec
tion day.
The Walhalla Mountaineer heard Joe
CIsary speak for the opposition and pro
nounced it delivered by—''a gentleman
of attractive appearance."
Cavalier county's total vote yesterday
will foot up.to something like £000
votes against
2,156votes
cast in 1898.
This does not include the enormous
woman vote cast on school matter.
Now that the campaign is over the
DEMOCRAT will be able to give more at
tention to local matters than it has done
ior acoupleof months back. Thechange
will be no more welcome to the readers
than it will be to the DEMOCRAT.
The remarkable growth of North
Dakota is proven by the census reports.
An increase of 75 per cent in the past
ten years shows that the slate is com
ing to the frout. The congressional re
apportionment of these figures will in
crease the state's quota of congressmen
to two and add to the electoral vote of
the state.
Foster says a warm wave will get
along here about November 9, and cool
spells to November 23. The storm
troubles will be along the Missouri
river. It's to be a fairly comfortable
•onth, and seems to be inclined to save
fuel. November 25, Foster says, is the
time to put grain and stock on the
market, and he wants the government
to make an agricultural department to
handle the weather.
Owing to the drought which this
gammer dried up most of the ponds
where wild ducks usuallv hatch and
raise their young, the fall duck shooting
|ias thus far been poor. A few big bags
are reported at Sweetwater and other
points but they were taken in the most
favorable weather and early in the 'sea
son. Most of the birds killed are old.
The young this season seem to have
perished. At one lake it is said dead
ducklings were so numerouse as to cause
bad stench. Eggs were found high
and dry, and the young ducks that did
batch fell a victim to hawks. There are
9 few Canadian geese, but so far the
shooting is not as good as usual and
there are a few outside huuters in the
gtate. What ducks arefonnd arein good
Condition.

Why the people voted for Rylance?
No comment was necessary the voters
spoke for themselves at the polls. One
of the causes tbat resulted in'Rylance's
majority being so big wab .the roorbach
issued by the republicans against him on
the eve of election. One of the leading
reasons that Dunford was not elected
is the handsome majority Rylance got in

excelleut dramatical entertainments here
last week. The first nighf'A Celebrated

to
hear "Oliver Twist." The company is
unquestionably on' of the bent that
travels in his part of the country, mid
their work was highly satisfactory here.
"Oliver Twist" is too tragic for niuii.v

The big Grandin farm of 40,000 acres

40,000 acres of land in Traill oountv, and
took his partners Oliver and William
Dalrymple, who have successfully con
ducted the farm since. On account of
the ill health of one of the partners the.
division was made. The Grandins take
an undivided half and the Dalrymples a
quarter each. It is the largest single
real eBtate transfer ever made in the
state. Tbis farm is incidental to Oliver
Dalrsmple's home place near Gasselton,
in Cass county.—Grand Porks Herald.

licans in tb« three states. Tie is nearing
his eighty-third yenr. His first vote was
cast for General Harrison, "Old TipDe

Minnesota in 1941 and located at Red
Rock, oponine the harness shoo in that
state. He later moved to St. Paul.'
Governor Ramsey appointed him the
first territorial librarian. fTe resigned
that position to accppt the post of

entered a partnership with his friend
Kittson and condncted a tradintr busi
ness with the Indians for years, Kittson
and Cavalier increased their business
from a point where they worn running
four carts to St. Paul to a point where
their train nnmbered over sixtv. Kit
