never been claimed that Cham berlain's

Next came plan for selecting

then cut in two pieces, the gentleman
taking one piece and then proceeding
to hunt for the lady with the other

their partners to be ladies Of sixty or
more and very bashfully declined to

But il was amusing to sec MIR. Chas,

First Annual Report
SfThe North Park stock Growers
Association

About a year ago now our associa
zion started Oh its way. From an
Original of nine members it has grad
tially grown till it now comprises 53.
Nurscd in Its Infancy by our able
president, II. c. Chedsey, success ac.
companied it from the beginning
The object of our association, as you
all know, is the mutual protection OF
our interests, but apart from the
pecuniary advantages drawn there
from consider The mere fact of lis
having an organization whereby VIC
can come together aud act Immediately
on any matters that may arise, is OF
more Importance still.
The first matter of Importance that
engaged our attention was the leasing
Of state lands. We sent q dcputatlon
consisting OF II. G. Chedsoy and L.
A. Holdresc to represent us before
the state land board; and here ]
would record our appreciation of the
Independent views and able assistance
:en,lcred us by the North Park News.
Though this affair cost the Association
considerable sum, no business that
We have taken up has met with more
pnanimity. .,.
On the 23rt' of May we engaged
I. e. Timbrel as range rider with
wages at the rate of $50 per month.
The proper disposition Of his person
as whole has created considerable
friction. All appear to be of opinion
that he ought to be somewhere, and Q
few that he ought to be oyerywhere
And here would venture to ask il
the Association considers that rsnge
rider can earn his wages during the
month Of May, June and July. II

not, then would suggest that you
appoint two in the fall of tile year to
ride on the outskirts OF the park and
pick up the cattle belonging to the
Association, and Association cattle
only. This would cost less, and l
believe would have better results.
We joined the Natiorat Live Stock
Association and sent strong resolu
tion to be presented by President
Springer to the Trans Missouri Traffic
Association demanding a restoration
of the feeding in transit rates. Since
the abrogation OF the feeding in
transit rates on May %, the rate on
live stock shipments within the terri
tory named was increased from
$3.50 to $500 per car; and as the
greater number of the cattle shipped
from here are feeders, you can see
that this increased rate would fall
directly on us here.
And now | come to the warfare
against wolves initiated by the Asso-
citation. Judging from the amount
per head we offer for their destruction
you would naturally suppose our
treasury to be in sound condition.
We offer double the bounty of any
state, county or association that l
know Of, and fully the amount offered
by the Russian Empire for the de
struction Of the same species. But
If the gray wolves have come to stay,
and believe they have, can we,
under the present conditions, repre-,
senting about one half of the cattle
in the park, afford to- make that
bounty permanent, We need never
talk about eNtcrminating them, for
that will be impossible until more
drastic measures for their cxtcrmina-
ton are put IN force in the country
surrounding us. James ,Marr,
Secretary.

tHE LADIES ENTERTAINMENT
AT THE ODD FELLOWS HALL

--
The most interesting social event
of the season occurred at the Odd
Fellows Hall last Thursday night.
The Ladies of Walden gave social
and literary entertainment that was
in every way delightful success.
The Hail was well filed with all
classes Of town people-mcn, women
and children; and at the appointed
time DR.. Fischer as chairman, took
charge of the program. Mrs. Linger
at the, organ, the girls Of the public
school sang the Welcome Song which
was good and well rendered Bella
Seymour recited Katie Lee and Willie
Gray in very creditable manner
Pearl Stout sang Be Not Despopdent.
Pearl has a rather sweet voice that
will improve with practice and e1per-
.ience. She grew little embarrassed
which was very natural Miss Nellie
Riggen recited, "How He Saved st.
Michaels." This is piece both
pathetic and dramatic. The story of
how negro slave saved church
from burning during thq civil war.
Nellie is one of our best young elocu-
tionary performers, and rendered the
selection very well, considering the
fact OF the poor acoustic arrangements
of the Hall. 1t is very difficult to
hear the voice distinctly across the
hall. The duet by Mrs Linger and
Miss Stella Mosman was attractive.
Stella is bashful about giving her
voice volume. Hope she will improve
by experience.
Louise Snyder recited, "N1iss Edith
Helps Things Along" This is an
old selection, but Louise gave the
spirit OF it in very good style. Miss
Lashur sang Gathering Shells From
the Seasiore.' This ls beautiful
song, and was very well rendered by
Miss Lashar, who has a cultured
voice under good control. Her arlic-
ulation being clear and distinct. "Tiie
