1t is cheaper to eat than to go hun
gry-or be growing around after a
poor meal-when you can sit down to
a dinner such as is being served by
Landlord Conant and his expert cooks

to give you an idea of 1T, the menu
card for next Sunday appears in an
otner column. Makes one hungry to

P%lankinton Herald: The law regu.
lating the saloon license business and
the county commissioners meetings
are decidedly out Of joint. 1t is nee
esSary that that the commissioners
should approve the saloon mans H.
cense before he can open up on July l.,

as the commissioners do not hold their
regular meeting until the first Tues
day in July it would this year compel
the saloons to remain closed until
after the Fourth. The commissioners
OF this county have consented to meet
July first for the purpose of approving
the bonds.
Oacoma Argus: Some enterp1ising
old cuss. realizing the future greatness
of Oacoma and the consequent value
OF contiguous lands, has erected a
Shanty and taken a sQuatters right

place. While the timber on this
island is rather e%mbroyotic and the
island itself in danger of speedy dis

valuable piece of property if it sur

stop the erosion Of the river and the
land will become permanent. The
squatter has his head put on right
and ought to win.

Before "Biily's" departure the Cath
Ole church presented him with a
collection OF 500 to cheer him in his
new location. MI. O'Neil is a first
class shoe repairer-and while there is
very little OF that class of work now
adays, he may be depended upon to do
a good job If it comes his way.
j. S. Stewart wants the GRAPHIC
to tell 'em that water must not be
used for sprinkling purposes outside
of the hours from 5 to 8 p. m. AS the
water won't flow out of a hose held two
feet above a hydrant during those
hours most of the time-at some OF
the residences taxed SO to $40 a year
it is a very pleasant feature of NUM-
cipal life. Half Of the grass is dead
