Yesterday aftern nudge w r.
Ellis granted Elizabeth Swltzler a de-
cree Of divorce from Edwin Switzler.
The decree was the outcome of the
divorce proceedings that were start
ed last summer by Mrs. switzler
through her attorney Judge Fee. The
suit was not contested by the de-
fendant.
The division OF the property had
been previously settled by the two
parties in n stipulation which was
iiled last summer. By the decree of
the court the division of the prop
erty was ordered according to that
stipulation. BY the terms OF the
agreement all of the real property be-
longing to the defendant, which con-
sisted OF real estate In this city and
Portland, amounting IN value to about
200 was given Mrs SwitzIer. All
of the personal property, which con-
sists OF money, notes, accounts, ETC.,
amounting In value to about $40, 900,
was retained by the defendant, Edwin
Switzler
This morning Judge Fee, counsel
for Brs Switzler, stated that the quit
claim deed TO Bessie Switzler. which
was given Jointly by Mr.. and Mrs.
SwitZler last summer. was merely to
place Miss Switzler in possession of
property which was due her from her
fathers estate. Up to that time the
property had been owned Jointly by
the brother and sister. After the quit
claim deed had been given and Miss
Switzler's portion given her, Edwin
Switzler was left the owner of prop
erty valued at $4,000. Under the
stipulation all of this is given Mrs.
Switzler.
According to Judge Fee. the reports
current last summer that Switzler
mad squandered most of his money,
were untrue, and this is evident from
the amount OF personal property.
$4,000. which he still had at that
time.

great Improvement Of the business part

ton to every citizen. There is matter
connected with the sidewalks to which
we are requested to call the attention of
dog owning citizens. Cement sidewalks
IN their more youthful hours are very
susceptible of receiving impressions
which in time become hardened into
solid rock. Now the reproduction Of
footprints in the solidity of cement
walk are not Of the historical or geologi-
cal value OF the prints that are sometimes
found in the laboratory Of nature in the
hedges and cli1s-in fact dog tracks at
any time or place are not considered
worth preservation--and positively mar
the beauty of cement sidewalks-and if
any dog is found tracking OF. the new
walks before they are dry, it is likely
that the contractors and the city marshal
will be mad enough lowell il you value
your dog you had better tie him up for
the next few days-or the cement side
walk may prove to be stone memorial
of more than teur feet of your dog.

Some Notable Stock.

The trains on Monday brought not
able amount of stock to the city. First
there were two cars of bronchoes, which
were turned loose on the prairie to feed
and for sale. Then in cattle Car was
magnificent specimen of the short-horn
tribe, said to be the finest bull in Amer
lea. The animal was raised in Canada
and look the first prize a, the Winnipeg
fair in competition with some OF the best
in the land. He weighed something like
$500 pounds and had been purchased by
stock man in Oregon and was on his
way there, but was detained here by the
customs waiting for technical error in
the pedigree to be fixed up.
Another notable arrival of stock of
more local interest was beautiful herd
Of eighteen Herefords. These were
purchased by w. B. Hancock, who owns
the old Woodley place near this city and
who purposes making it into stock
farm for which it is we'll fitted having
plenty OF pasture, water and shelter.
They are from the herd of c A. Hitch
cock of Crookston and are direct from
the Grand Forks fair, where the stock
display was large and fine, and in this
keen competition took the following
ptizes: On senior herd, End and 3rd;
one bull and four females, LIST; on Year.
ling heifers, LIST, End, 9rd: bull calf, LIST,
3rd, heifers. End, 3rd; aged cows and
calves, 1st With this fine herd of reg
istered prize animals, MIR. Hancock
thinks that in IA few years he will have
the b-sl "wnite-faces" in the northwest,
He will be pleased 10 show farmers what
he has got and has a few extra young
bulls for safe. The Herefords are the
favorite breed for the ranchman in this
state COR the reasons that they are better
ruStess for feed and stand hardship bet
ter than the other Breeds. and that they
can be marketed earlier than the short
horns, AS they can be fatted at two years
old, when the extra feed will only make
a shorthorn grow taller at that age. Such

tinct gain to the farmers Of the county.
This is not a stock raising locality, but
the tendency is for all farmers to raise
some stock and that tendency is growing
1t seems to us that when farmer rails
es only few cattle which he naturally,
gives extra care, that he above all stock
raisers ought to raise good stock, and
the first consideration in raising good
stock is the breeding. Hence the intro
duction OF pure bred stock herds like
this of Mr.. Hancocl's and few others
in the county is direct benefit to the
fariners-not to say anything of us of the
that's mostly,one brand gristle.
