everything passed off in good shape ane
the crowd had most enjoyable time.
| The Salvation Army folks camped a
the grove: in South Pembina Saturday
Sunday and Monday. The attendance
was notlarge butt was like the frog
story-there was noise enough for a big
lot. However if everybody did as little
harm and as much good as the Saliva
tionists, this world would at least be nc
worse.
A PICNIC by the city 'bikers" was en-
joyed in the suburbs on Tuesday. When

ers in all; counting Mr.. and Mrs. Price or
the tandem as one, with Deputy Collect
er Robt. Morrison and Register Of Deeds
Chisholm as the ''chief high rollers of de
push.
The township proprietors out at the
end of the Langdon extension propose to
call the new town Linden. The Moon"
kicks and says, Hannah it always has
been and Hannah it always ought to be.
Surely, Mr.. Moon, il Hannah is as likely
a young lady as your columns represent
her, she ought to be allowed to change
her name. And Hannah isn't very
pretty name whether you read it back
ward or forward.

Mr.. GEORGE Parker ST., while at work
moving near the Fort reservation on
Tuesday, stopped the machine near the
wagon and stepped off to get the oil-can.
His horses started and in attempting to
catch them he was knocked over and
the wheel Of the machine passed over
his chest inflicting severe bruises. Mr..
Parker was brought home and for some
time it was feared that the injuries were
serious, but we are glad to say that he
is getting all right again.
}. M. CocHRANE, attorney for the M.
& N. Elevator Co. yesterday served a
notice ofappeal on the county board on
the assessment of grain in the elevators.
This is an old question and has been in
process of litigation for several years
without decision. The elevators claim
that the wheat is only stored with them
and belongs to other parties, as it doubt
less does. The elevator companies fur
nish names and amounts represented by
wheat tickets. In most cases the origin
al parties are non-residents and unknown:
and further, as the tickets are transfer
able there is no telling who does own the
wheat anyway, but the wheat is there and
ought to pay taxes. The county board
will continue to assess the wheat to the
elevator company until they know some
thing better.
