James Christensen, located 14 miles southwest of Belfield, is wintering 250 Crfttle and so far it has been necessary to feed only cows and calves. He reports that settlers are getting all the gove rn-ment land around him and the chances are that he will have to close out his stock the coming year.

Felthouse Bros, of St. Paul, E. R. Swickard of this city and F. A. Little of Fayette were interested parties in the sale. This tract of land may be placed on the market for retail trade in the spring.

George Madsen, who came from Wis­consin about two years ago and has since been operating the old Paddock ranch near Belfield, reports that he has had excellent results with every crop he has tried to raise and sees no reason why any crop that will grow in any of the eastern states cannot be suc­cessfully raised in this country. His potatoes yielded at the rate of 300 bushels per acre, peas were an excellent crop, well filled and as high as a man's head, while his beans and other crops were better than be raised in the east. Mr. Madsen has 200 head of cattle at his ranch in fine condition and has fed the animals but three or four times this winter.

Pope's Decree Forum, Feb. SO: A new encyclioal from the

pope regarding changes in the marriage laws of the church has been received by the diocese of Fargo, and will soon be read in the Catholic parishes of North Dakota. The new marriage laws will go into effect on Easter Sunday.

The principal provisions of the decree are as follows:

Marriages of Catholics by civil magistrates will be null and void after Easter.

Engagements to be binding must be written and signed in the presence of two or more witnesses. Private betrothals between Cath­olics after Easter effect no matrimonial obli­gation in the eves of the church. Fallen-away Catholics, whether they become Protestants or infidels, are bound by these laws.

Priests after assuming office caft marry only In their own parishes. -

Marriages will be invalid unless the consent of both parties is asked and received by a witness of the ceremony.

Marriages will be invalid unless there be two witnesses besides the priest or bishop.

Marriages should take place in the parish of the bride, except for reason.

Marriage entered into in case of danger of death can be witnessed by any priest and two other persons.

In the absence of a priest for more than a month Catholics can marry under the civil law in the presence of two witnesses.
