The Coal Harbor and Washburn mines
played game of ball Tuesday afternoon,
but neither party seemed to be in very
good tim for the contest. They played
seven innings, which resulted in score of
8 for Coal Harbor to for Washburn.
The Washburn boys were not in it.
Attention is called to the change in the
advertisement of the Pacific Hotel at Bis
marck, of which s. j. Swenson is now pro.
prietor. Mr.. Swenson has added suit of
bath rooms for the accommodation of his
guests, which is commendable featare
among the other improvements he has
made to that popular house.
It is announced in the papers that Henry
H. Rohrer has been appointed postmaster
at Coal Harbor. We do not quite under
stand how this can be, inasmuch as Mr..
Rohrer is staunch republican,; and an
equally staunch democrat was seeking the
place. Somebody must have been fooling
the dispensers of public pap at Washing
ton.
The railroad commissioners of this state,
with Finlay Grant secretary, desire to
make the coming annual inspection Of the
railway lines in North Dakota Of the
greatest possible practical value, and are
therefore sending blank petitions to all
railway stations that the patrons thereof
may petition for the construction Of plat
forms in accordance with the provisions
of the amended platfarm law. The board
are evidently awake to the interests OF
/: the people, and should receive the hearty
cooperation Of all parties interested.
