NORTH DAKOTA LETTER.

Jamestown. N. D., June 7. Dear Editor:—l thought perhaps some news of the Hoosiers would be appreciated by our old friends back in real Hoosierdom. Weather is fine. * Crops are now in and are up and looking fine. James Stanley is thinking some of going to California. Editor, wish you were here to go to the lake fishing with us. Fishing is fine now and trijs to the lake are - quite common. Warner Hough seems to enjoy himself in riding in "Pa Roberts’ ” auto. Spencer Holmes is spending a few days with his uncle and family, S. B. Holmes.’ Several Hoosiers joined the measles band, even Geo. Heuson got his share of them. Miss Bertha Holmes is working at Floyd, N.. D., for Mrs. 'D. V. Savage, formerly Miss Stella Brown of Rensselaer, Ind. Sidney B. Holmes has the" auto fever quite bad, but we think a nice gentle horse would be much safer for Sidney to drive in his old age. Several social events are taking place in which the Hoosiers are welcome and certainly enjoying themselves. But the most popular and one longest to he remembered was an .eating contest in which Roy Scott of Rensselaer. Ind., and a Hoosier cook were the leading parties. Roy ate a pie and three- quarters, one cake, dish of salad and four boiled eggs. The cook won the prize by eating two pies, one cake, dish of salad and six eggs. Neither Ro# nor the cook have, had much appetite since. With best wishes of a Hoosier. A Friend of the Democrat.
