constructed This means of communi-
cation opens up large territory tribu-
tary to the capital city and makes it
possible to develop the coal fields in
Morton county. The ferry will be
great convenience and of mutual bene-
fit to the residents of both sides of
the Missouri. It will open up compel
ing markets for the farmers
Sawed the Lock--Sheriff Welch's
guests got busy again Sunday night
and with a short saw on the end of
chair round sawed through the staple
of paddock that holds the cage bar,
and were just preparing to make their
exit when the sheriff made a search
of the cage and discovered the work
that had been done. There are two
penitentiary graduates in the Jail
awaiting trial and it takes sharp eyes
to keep up to all the tricks they have
learned.
Some Good Crops-A Tribune en-
missary invaded the business office of
Insurance Commissioner Leutz at He
bron a few days ago and was shown
specimens of some of the crops that
are just maturing in that vicinity.
A rryh~
measured six feet in heighth, with
plump heads of as many inches, of
which the grower had a field of sixty
acres. There was also a bunch of
timothy that measured nearly five feet
that was only fair sample of a twenty
acre meadow. Besides being sur
rounded by country we'll adapted to
the growing of large crops, this west
ern Morton county metropolis is be-
coming quite manufacturing town.
There are already two creameries and
a Touring mill and the machinery has
been contracted for a pressed brick
plant. An excellent quality of fire
brick clay has recently been uncovered
here and a few brick have been made
from it that twin city architects and
contractors pronounce the best of any
that have been seen there.
