IHE stage OF water i'll the Pembina riy.
er Is lower than it has been seen for
many years. is what an "old timer" re,
marked the other day.
HAVING has commenced in some local..
ties to limited extent. Owing to the
dry season most Of the hay crop will be
gathered after the grain is harvested.
WYNAN the wizard appeared in Kittson
hall Friday evening to u fair house. The
gentleman afforded considerable anluse.
lnent for the audience, who went home
we'll please.
A BALL was given ON Monday evening
in Kittson Hall, there being about twen-
ty couples present. The Italian string
band supplied excellent music for the
occasion and an enjoyable time was had.
T In order to keep up to the main por-
ton ofthe city the PIONEER EXPRESS of.
fice shook off its coat of gray this week,
to give place to new garb Of a more at
trsctiye appearance, by the hands of Cor
neil Bros.
We notice through our exchanges the
slaughter of prairie chickens has COM
lnenced in several localities of the ter
ritory, regardless of the protection law.
AS yet, We know of no case in our COM
munity, and hope the law will be COM
piled with for the preservation of game.
BATHING in the Pembina is getting to
be popular recreation for number of
the young boys. It will be well for
parents to know where their boys are,
as two cases are reported this week where
the boys went into shallow water and
were carried away by the current but
rescued by larger ones.
Nh. SAMUEL ARDlEs got his ear very
badly lacerated OH Wednesday morning,
while leading COW, having been thrown
violently against wire fence. He was
driven to town and on reaching here
was very much enfeebled from loss of
blood. DR.. Harris dressed the wound
and Mr.. Ardies is getting on well.
In few weeks the U. S. custom offices
will be removed from the transfer to St.
Vincent. The regular trains each way
will run into st. Vincent, thus doing
away with the necessity of special
engine and car. The arrangement will
effect great saying to the company and
he more convenient in many ways.
WE cannot but compliment the mayor
and city marshal OH their successful at
tempt to exterininate house of i'll
fame, Inhabited by two noted characters,
in South Pembina. Several complaints
have been made by the neighbors to
have them removed but fruitlcss, until
yesterday, when their pursual became
intolcrable and they were compelled 10
pull stakes and cross the line into Mani
toba.
TIE st. Vincent New Era complains
that through neglect Of the committee,
PR. Conmy's address did not come off
ON the evening of the celebration. We
think this is a mistake. The hurry and
rush consequent upon crowding go much
into one afternoon rendered it almost
impossible to gather a crowd at any time
for a public address on the street. Large
allowance should be made for hitches
aud mistakes on SUCH q day, before I'm:
