NORTH DAKOTANS HERE

On a Business and Pleasure Trip —Former Resident of Union Township. Harvey Davisson of Hamilton, No. Dak., accompanied by A. A. Arms of Cavalier, No. Dak., came Tuesday night for a week or ten days business visit. He says they have been having a splendid winter in his county, nice steady weather and good sleighing right along. For about three weeks the mercury was from 20 to 40 below zero, but the boys hauled baled hay to town and did not mind the cold. When they left home the mercury wks down to about 25 below and and about 18 inches of snow covered the ground. Mr. Arms has been living in Pembina county —which is close to the Canadian line—about three years, and asked what effect the proposed reciprocity treaty with Canada would have in his locality he said that as a whole he thought it was a good thing, but that wheat, as a rule, was about ten cent 3 less per bushel in Canada than it was on this side, and it would probably mean lower priced wheat for the growers along the Canadian line.
