Norton Bills for Two Normal Schools in North Dakota
Cong Norton proposes a bill to create a fund for two additional normal schools in North Dakota modeled on the existing system. The measure would authorize the sale of 400 000 acres of unoccupied federal lands for the benefit of schools, with one site near the Missouri River and the other at Minot. Land may be sold for under three dollars an acre, and proceeds kept as an endowment. The North Dakota delegation backs the plan, expecting a tough fight in Congress. Cattle smuggling cases near the border are under federal action, with efforts by George E. Foulkes and Jud LaMoure to curb smugglers and seize contraband stock.

Device pulls off the heads in harvest machine
Enderlin North Dakota August 29. W G Engle has invented an automatic combine harvesting and threshing machine. Instead of cutting the grain a device pulls the heads from the standing crop. The threshing remains similar to old methods and is attached to the other and pulled across the field. Three men can cut and thresh forty acres per day with power from a traction engine.
