hood, have plenty Of provisions and house
hold goods at the camp, but the said resi-
dents are on this side and there are four
or five feet of water on the ice. Mr.. s.
Smith tried to cross over to the camp one
day last week, but couldn't make it.

in the tip-top of the big cottonwood
trees? Are they bears?' Father--"Oh,
no, my son--not bears. Those are the
Camp Shields people, and they are strain

There will be masquerade party at the
| residence of Mr.. G. II. Edick, on Wednes-
day evening, Feb. 20. G. H. is an old
soldier, and he and his pleasant family
have hosts of friends. Therefore, it does
not require the prophetic gift to enable
one to state with certainty that there will
be merry crowd and a jolly good time.
There is one grocery house in Bismarck
that Is building up a splendid reputation
for keeping large stock of pure goods,
and selling them at live-and- let live
prices. Therefore, Emmons County peo-
pie will consult their own interests by
dealing with George jennings, corner of
Main and Fifth streets. McCrory & Co.,
the well-known butchers and meat deal
ers, are in the same building.
A good many people who passed along
the timber trail Saturday thought Farmer
Kalberer had established saw mill in the
valley south of Tlghcs But they were
mistaken. He was simply making two
pieces out Of a huge dry cottonwood log
that he intends to convert into a land
roller. The team could haul it all right,
but the sled kept breaking through the
snow so he sawed 1T in two aud hauled
it home at two loads.
Somebody must have "heodooedp' Billy
Margach's mules, judging from the bad
luck their owner had during recent trip
to Bismarck. He broke his sled and had
to borrow tools from Mr.. Lawrence with
which to mend it. This delayed him 80
much that he did not reach town in time
to deliver his wheat, and he left the load
in Robideu's barn yard. During the
night some loose horses chewed up eight
or ten Of Billys borrowed sacks.
Since tho item concerning mail matters
was put in type we learn that Mr.. Hawks
says he will wait for the Bismarck stage
in fact he did SO Wednesday. Mr.
HIS schedule does not require him to
do this, and it is course that everybody
should appreciate. Wash has been giving
this nsighborhood faithful service this
winter-a service as good as the best
and we are glad to know that he has de-
termined to see that the mail from Bis
marek gets through the same day.
A settler who believes in having plenty
of chickens and eggs for the table, as
we'll r9ots for his COWS and young
stock, saysh he will build his root-hsuse and
hennery so that both can be entered from
the stable. The hen-house he will build
| on top of the root-house, with q square
vsntilator made of boards running from
the latter and extending through the roof
of the former. The root-house will have
the usual dirt roof, and the building on
top will make it perfectly frost-proof and
dry.
| For some reason or other the time
schedule has been changed on the Winens
and Bismarck stage line. Under the new
arrangement the mail leaves Bismarck
two or three hours later than formerly
This brings it to Llvona at a later houl
than that set for the departure of the
Williamsport stage, and mail for this
place will therefore lie over from one to
two days. This is the most remarka bic
arrangement of ALL and ought to give ths
Livona postmaster plenty of time to care
fully read the addresses, and send mai
matter where it should 20. This is 8
dig at Brother Wiley; but as he dom
take the paper (now that he has paid up)
and Of course won t borrow it, he will mo-
see this item.
