R..STREBTBR. Linton, North Dakota, Pioneer Journal of the County. The Record Is entered at the Linton Post- ' office as ^econd-class mattoc* NEITHER In this county nor in any other county of the state does ti great storm appear to have interfered j with the enthusiasm of land-hunters. The exchanges received since tbe! storm are filled with. items about the arrival of new settlers. And why should anj one be discouraged on ac- count of tlris ' the greatest blizzard i known since the settlement of the country? There have been disastrous cycloncs in Iowa and other states where the land is exceed irt^Ty high in price, ; but those cyclones hare not cut a c'™t from the value of farm property. Tiic j destructive foice of a cyclone or Lor- j nado is something that human inge- - nuity cannot provide against; while, on the contrary, loss by such a com- motion of nature as that which has ! just visited .us is entirely preventable, j The mild weather of recent win- ters has tended to make stock-owners less careful than usual. The loss of stock has demonst rated that it will : not do for any one to have more stock '' at the beginning of auy winter than he can find shelter for. Sums of the losses, too, were caused by turning the previous storm safely, sheltered by the timber; but the last storm was too much for them, and they started across the prairie,<%lth the result that nearly all perished. Most of Mr. Stiles' best cows were among the lost. Of the more than 100 animals which' Mr,, s. had at the home ranch, all were ived. G. A. Herolz lost 21 head. W. E. Petrie, 23 head. Will Johnson, 22 head. Wallace Kyes, 22 head. Prichard & Kneeland, 67 head. Hackney-Boynton Lard Co., 40 head afr-Ii. Mattern's no other losses re- ported, so far. J. E. Horton, io head. F. A. Sherwood, reported at 120 head. T. 11. Stewart, about 60 head. Parr Bros., about 26 head. S. Silk, 6 head. Bert Pierce, 170 head of sheep. ! -Miss B. Gurrin, a young-lady teach- er, llitd-pwrfier savings in catt le. She had seven head at AVallie Kyes' ranch, • and all of tiiein were -destroyed by the i ; storm. j The Record has heard neither a de- nial or au affirmation of the report that S. L. Scott, in the southern part of the county, lost 200 head of sheep, j Besides the above, losses by various persons of from one to three or four t head are reported. j Clare East, Iri' a letter to Auditor | Herolz, says that neither himself, trousers.

Jamestown Alert: Real-estate men, have some funny experiences some- times with visitors from other states who have some exaggerated ideas as to what they should receiye for a Little money . Some are here to have a good time aud see the country at the ex- pense of the real-estate man. As a rule, the latter can tell after be has driven the "homeseekers" around a little whether they are after land or not, and in some instauces trips into the country have been cut short. Judge Wlncbeoler III. M»udan Pioneer: Judge Winchester is sick in a hospital at St. Paul, and will in all probability not be able to attend to business for some weeks. Nest week Judge Glaspell, of James- abown, will hold court for Judjge Win- chester at Washburn. The Stark county term, which should open on April 1st, will be postponed,probably to May 5tli Judge Cowan wili be in Man- Jan at the forthcoming April term, to try J. 0. Clark, charged with libel, and such other cases as he may be request- ed to try. 'f'bo siorm. As the full and reliable reports of the damage done by the late storm come in, they show that tbe Record, if anything, overstated the loss in last -week's issue. It is a hard 'propo- sition to give the exact number of cattle lost in Emmons county. Last week we said that we thought it would be from 600 to 700 head; and the former number appears to have been more nearly corrects There are stockmen down near the South Da- kota line who lost stock, but whether all of them were lost in this county we do not know. The high water in Beaver river during the week has cut off "communication with tbe south half of the county, and^reliabie State- ments of the total loss have not been received. It is thought that.the farm- ejs—thpse with.a few head or cattle, who raise cropa'as well as stock—were, light losers, as almost without excep- tion their slock was sheltered. Cattle men who have ridden over the county since the storm estimate the number of cattle lost at front 550 to 600. In the north half of the coutitjr^o fSr as heajni-from, the losses of cattle were light'—probably not more than 50 in all. At Glencde, however, Com- missioner Maudonald lost 300 head of sheep. Mr. M,.was absent at Winona during the storm, whither he had gone on business connected'with a settlement of the business affairs of the late Frank Smith, bis brother-i n- iawr," Mr. Macdonald's total number of sheep before the storm was, we un- derstand, 2,500. Tt^e losses of eattle of wA^idettnlte Infoiniiatiioi^'lii^iie^i 'n^||!j'. : are''.as follows: ' <t Sales' lost aba0 '3^bf Mr. Parling^bn's and 43.of his own. ^Tho entire loss was from the stock that was being wintered on lower Beaver creek. The aoJmals had gone through tmMM Strfeeter were the two publiu-spirited members of the hand who acted as a committee of arangements in prepar- ing things at the the school-house and in cleaning up the school-room after the entertainment. The band is also under obligation to Mrs. J. F. Gail for turnJshing free the coffee that was used to wash down the good things contained in. the baskets. The. band played eight or nine piece's during the evening, and people who had not heard the boys during their practice were astonished that, they had made such progress. "The Record is informed that the members of the band Intend to give a series of entertainments, the proceeds from which will be used for the purchase of uniforms, which will cost in the neighborhood of tl50. A Title of ih« Me*. Last Wednesday Admiral Arthur Pitts and Commodore Frank Chase Improvised a ship from the roof of a dismantled out-bouse and, to the soul- stirring strains of A# A life on the oceun wave, -C ; . A home oo the rolling deep* f;> "Where tho pollyjvog wriggles his tail, Aud the tear* roll down bid ch«ek,v they sailed boldly away across 4 Beaver Lake. For some time the two heroic sailor-boys quietly plowed —and har- rowed—the raging main; but finaUy their good ship grounded on a sunken reef, and the admiral and the commo- dore waded ashore to a desolate speck in the inland sea, known as Drake's Island. After bard work trying to float the craft, during which Arthur worked as hard as he did when he made a trip to the harvest fields, the two sailors gave up the fight and abandoned their vessel. For a while the shipwrecked mariners and tbe people of the port who lined the bank had plenty of fun; hut, as night came on, the proposition became somewhat serious. To the strains of "Throw out the Life-Line," some of the boys attempted to get a rope across, with which to tow tbe vessel to the main- land, but the small rope that was to draw over the hawser broke while it was being heaved. The rescuing par- ty waoj&d to rent Mat. Chase's re> trlever tju carry the rope across, but Mat. Wouldn't risk the valuable purp getting pneumonia, unless he was paid six bite in ad vance. And now, 0S night: wSa coming on, it seemed that a hungry stomach if not a watery grave or wet pantaloons was in . store for the mariners. They walked the beach hke Robinson Crusoe and Fri- day, peering into the distance for a friendly sail.' Their friends on shore bade thorn a last farewell and Dud Wescotti, the^ mayor, gave them his otKciaj blessing. AU of a sudden the IUCL'4 wit.li lhut peculiar wobbling gait that pertains 10. seafaring men, Started at double-quick for the oitiar I eud of the island, where, with the j assistance Of Norbert Page!, bis pony, I and "Pjgeon," Arthur's pony, the two j men of the sea were brought safely to j land.' The on$ damage was to their ' feelings and their garments, the wa- j ter coming up to the bajf-sote of their 1 Just at tba present time the people of Linton and the Beaver valley are doing quite a bit of thinking, the cause of their cogitations being the mischievous conduct of the usually staid and sober brook that flows through the valley. The front end of the week saw Spring creek nearly to the top of its banks, but it lowered without doing much of anything in the flood line. After Spring had sub- sided a bit, Beaver began to get ugly, ii'or three or four days it kept rising until at'present It is away above aoy- j thing that the oldest inhabitant has ever seen. -At Linton the creel: lias .formed a vast, lake, in places more tban a half-mile wide. The water covers about all of Major Pitts' back and front yards except where the house stands; and, by Godfrey! it ;s quite an undertaking for the urbane and courteous county treasurer to go to and from his domicile. There is overflow water in the door-yard of the Record family, although it would take a rise of another foot to do any dam- age. So far nothing has been destroyed, except that the water is several inches deep over Major Pitts' well, and it is thought the well has caved in. The extreme rise in Beaver creek is caused by the bed of the creek being almost bank full of packed snow, which has prevented the water from flowing off along the usual channel. Ice gorges at narrow points have also added to the overflow. During the.'week the people of the south side of the creek have boen com- pletely isolated from the county seat, although two or three persons on horse- back waded their animals across the wide sheet of water on the other side of the bridge south of Matchant's pasture^ and came to town. Cad Logue, the Dakem-Linton mail-car- rier, was one of them, taking the mail to Daketu und returning that way. The water the other side of the bridge, although covering a' considerable ex- tent of territory, does not, along the road grade, come up to the stirrups. The bridge between the Ilorton and Herolz pastures is two or three feet out of sight. At the Petrie ranch it appears, viewing the situation from the hills, that water is all around the house. Though there is no damage to speak of, as yet, everybody fs anxious to see the creek fall. Later.—Tbe water is falling slowly. An EafllnkiaM on tlte Boer Vw. Mr. Frederick Harrison, the noted English writer, asserts that England is being slowly bled to death, while the government systematically sup- presses the truth and diffuses decept- ive reports. He says: "Four successive attempts have been made in four successive centuries to accomplish what we are trying to accomplisb in South Africa. All have failed. Philip II. of Spain, in the six- teenth century, possessing unequaled naval and military forces and backed by the undivided patriotism of the Spanish people, tried for eighty years •to subjugate Holland, only to bring disaster to his own country and to stimulate iloiland to great feats of national progress. "lu the seventeenth century Louis XIV. of France took up the task that ruined Spain. He wrecked the French monarchy and Ulmost wrecked France; bnt Holland continued to flourish. George III. of England, in the eigh- teenth century, tried the policy of in- solence and non-concession upon our American colonists, driving them out of the empire and bringing vast loss and humiliation upon ourselves. "Napoleon III. or France,'in the nineteenth century, sacrificed 100,000 Frenchmen in an attempt to fasten French supremacy on dist racted Mex ico; but that country, despite its dis- traction, rallied to the standard of nationalism and set at naught the far mightier strength of the iuvadcr. "Thus, history teaches us unmistak- ably that one white people, however great and powerful, cannot politically annihilate another. On the contrary, small, hardy nationalities thrive under tyranny and attack, while their assail- ants either quit the struggle or sink into exhaustion and confusion. H * Y I'OK KA I.K.
