An interesting game of ball was
played at Crary Friday between the
Crazy and Edmore teams-the score
being Is to 8 in favor of Edmore.
By-the-way, the Edmore team is. not
so slow. 1t is likely that a game
with Edmore and Devils Lake will be
arranged soon, and our local players
will have to ''go some" if they win.
The interest in baseball was nev
greater in Ramsey county than this
year. There are strong teams at
Starkweather, Edmore, Crazy and
Devils Lake, while the teams at Law
ton, Brockett, Rutten,. Garske and
Odessa are not so slow. The atten-
dance this year is unusually large,
an evidence that the people generally
are becoming more interested in the
great national game.
The town of Edmore is enjoying a
healthy growth this summer. A
number of new residences are being
built, the cost of some of them run
ming we'll up into the thousands. All
lines of business being we'll represen-
ed, there is not much doing in the
way Of building new blocks. A large
amount of fax and other grain is
being marketed, and the business men
report cash sales as being very salts
factory.
In the meantime many new lines Of
business are being established at
Mortified. Two banks are already
opened and doing business, and a
dozen other lines of business are rep
resented. The freight line between
Edmore and Mortified has all it can
do to handle the traffic. A large

amount of freight is also taken to
Mortified by the way of Starkweath-
or, the distance from Starkweather
being two miles less than from Ed
more.
The citizens of Edmere do not seem
to be at all disturbed about the pro-
posed extension of the Great Northern
to N%orthfeld. 1t seems to be pretty
we'll settled that the road will not be
extended this ear, and the Edmorites
are confident that their town will be
the terminus for at least three years.
The chief amusement at Edmore
during the summer is baseball, lawn
tennis and bowling, not to mention
an occasional game of quart and
quart" and ''ten cent draw" Editor
Crary of the Herald claims the ten
pin championship, while Editor Beve-
ridge of the. News is regarded as the
real article when it comes to lawn
tennis. "Bev" is also regarded as
an authority on most social games of
cards, and it is said that only once in
his life did he let a man run him out
of a good pot who had nothing better
than a pair of jacks.
It is not often that threshing
machines are seen at work at this
season of the year, but there are two
machines at work in the Edmore
country %threshing fax which it was
impossible to take care of last fall.
The Oldest inhabitant cannot recall
a time when crops looked more
favorable than this spring. Wheat is
looking particularly fine. The late
cool weather has retarded the
growth of fax a little, but farmers are
not complaining on that account.
Farmers who half farm their land
are not going to do very we'll this
year. The conditions this spring
have been very favorable for growing
weeds, and the crop will be a bumper,
the attempt to grow grain on the land
causing but slight interference
The new opera house at Crary,
which is being erected by LaDuc &
Moore is going to be one of the largest
and best on this line of the Great
Northern. The stage is a large one
and the scenery will be lifted
Although Lawton is a growing
little town with many lines of bust
ness we'll represented, the Great
Northern has thus far failed to pro-
vide the place with a station or a side
track. For many months the citizens
have looked forward to the time
when a s1de-track would be put in
and it looks now if their anticipa-
tions would soon be realized
The people living along the Edmore
branch are very much dissatisfied with
the mail facilities at present afforded
them, and they have a right to be.
There are three growing towns on the
line-Brocket, Lawton and Edmore-'

and at present they have an every
other day service. Before the railroad
came they had a daily mail from
Lakota. Later the contract for
carrying the mail was given to the
railroad which soon after abandoned
its daily train service. Now the peoe
pie are praying for a 1eturn of the
old star route service.
Peter Rustom, one IF the enterpris-
ing farmers Of Mortified township.
has contracted for the purchase of a
new steam separator of latest pattern,
and will be ready to do a share of the*
threshing of the big crop which at.
! present promises we'll.
There is no telegraph Office at Ed
more. The line between Edmore and
Lakota is equipped with telephones.
Only written messages are received
for transmission. The fee is e.
cents. If you want to telegraph tnos
Devils Lake the charge is so cents
% cents for telephone service and IS
cents for the Western Union. The
Northwestern telephone company will
build a line to Edmore this summer
and the people are anxiously waiting
for it.
The citizens of Edmore and Crary I
complain of the large number of plain
DRINKS daily to be seer in these
towns. A reputable citizen of Crary
says he has positive knowledge that
$50 bottles of beer were sold in that
town in n day.
There are many improvementsx
being made in the country this sum-
mer. New barns and residences a
be seen going up in every direction,
and they are good ones to.
One of the social events of last
week was the marriage of DR.. M. A.
Lee and Miss Lena Craving, both Of 1
Edmore. The wedding took place at
Grand Forks on Friday evening. and.
was quite a surprise to the many
friends of the contracting parties.
Dr.. Lee has worked up a fine practice
at Edmore, and has many friends who.
will hasten to congratulate him in'the !.
choice of his life partner.

added and at the present time 81
farmers are furnishing cream and

and 600 pounds of cream is delivered0
each day. That they make an excel
lent quality is testified by the fact,
that it brings the top price in the st.

experienced man and knows every de-
tail of the business. The customers
have been receiving an average of 1sA
cents per pound for their butter fat up.
