Did you ever sit on a messy bank and
look at the sun-kissed brook as it merrily
dances in glee around the protruding
pebbles and feel glad that you were
alive? Well, that's the same sensation
you will experience when you witness
"Sandy Bottom" 1t is a laughing, bub-
bling pure heart and home story. When
the curtain falls on the last act you feel
as refreshed as if you had just drank a
cup of spring water. "Sandy Bottom"

f.. Kieckbush, who has a cattle ranch
west of Haley, recently lost all his sheds
and hay by fire. The fire caught while
the owner was branding calves in the
yard. Several men we're present at the
time but a whirl wind took them by sur
prise and they were powerless. A num-
Der of teams we're in the city the past
week for lumber with which to build new
sheds and with the assistance of neigh
bors Mr.. Kieckbush will be able to win
ter his large herd of cattle.
During the past few days there have
been talks of election contests and on
Wednesday several protests were filed
with the canvassing board. Different
parties filed their protests, some from
both factions, and the supposition is that
the Legislative strife is not fully settled.
1t is claimed that the change Of 8 to 10
votes from Senour to Foley would result
in the election of the latter instead OF
the former, as shown on the face of the
returns.

has held the position of assistant en-
gineer in the N. P. surveying crew, has

Billings deserving recognition OF
his faithful work and strict attention tc
duties. Mr.. Johnson started two years
ago as a section hand and has gradually
been receiving promotions until the
present time, and is now the youngest
man holding a similar position on the n
p. system, which speaks we'll for hi
business ability. E. S. Baer succeeds
Mr.. Johnson as assistant engineer.

w miles north of Fryburg, and thence
westerly and crossing the high plateau
half a mile north of Medora. From tn,
west side of the plateau a mammoth
bridge will span the Little Missouri ant
the new line will cross the old line to tn
south at a point near the Mcdonald
place. The old line will be touched
again about four miles west of Sentine
Butte, and it is understood that the las
named place will be left to the nortl
about one mile. The new road will d.
away with the Fryburg hill and will give
a good route through the Bad Lands
Just what will be done to get rid of thu
Beaver hill grade is not known yet.
