Oakes weekly Republican. (Oakes, Dickey County, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1883-1898, 1890-01-31

The quarterly meeting services
last Sunday were we'll attended and
interesting, the discourses by Elder
Plannette being able and Of unus-
ual merit,
We learn that Sam Cosel-the
genuine, irrepressible Sam-is now
in Seattle, having gone there after
a short sojourn in Salida. Col. He
says there are too many English
peopls in Colorado to suit him.
The senators went to Grand Forks
on another junketing trip and then
spent some time on the floor of the
senate, Monday, wrangling about
their visit. OF course that is just
what the people elected them for.
The dance at the Vinkle House
last Friday evening was we'll attend
ed and all report a most enjoyable
time. Music was furnished by the
Hecla string band, and the supper
was one Of those excellent repasts
for which the Vinkle House is noted.
Quite a number Of our people
have been enjoying the fine weather
by indulging in the summer pastime
Of fishing. Fish have been caught
in large quantities, but the practice
of throwing the small ones on the
ice and leaving them to die should
not be allowed.
One of the finest specimens of
work we have seen was exhibited by
Mr.. Jas. Patchin, last week, which
consisted of buggy mats made from
Dakota corn husks. 1t took Mr..
Patchin five days to make one mat,
but his patience was rewarded by
the production Of Il fine piece Of
work.

The Ellendale papers of last week
did not reach Oakes until Tuesday
evening. May some good angel Of
mercy send us a way of communi-
eating with our county seat in less
than a week or-send us a county
seat Of our own. Let's petition the
Northern Pacific to run its Minor
line to Oakes and from here to
Ellendale, thence ON to Pierre, across
the Sioux Reservation to the gold
fields of the Black Hills. It would
be going a little out of the way to
give Ellendsle chance, but then if
Aberdeen is willing to remain quiet,
why not give our county seat shock
out Of It's present lsthargy?
