HOPE, NORTH DAKOTA.
Sketch Of the Metropolis Of Steele Co.
Its Commercial and Social Aduantapes.

ia res are unknown and where
a farm can often be paid for with
a few crops.
Those interested in North Da-
kota will do we'll to investigate
the Hope district-the finest agri-
cultural country in the world.
The Pioneer, the Oldest and
leading newspaper, has been pub
lished continuously since Hope
was founded and, altho many of
its contemporaries have come and
gone, it still remains the leading
paper of the county. Its pros.
poets are brighter and more pro-
missing now than ever before and
with its new building, and ex-
cellent new equipment which was
Installed at a great expense last
year, it is better than ever pre-
pared to come up to the standard
of a twentieth century newspaper.
The Pioneer has the largest bona
fde circulation of any paper in
the county and is the official or
gan of the City of Hope and Steele
county. All county news of in
terest are published and several
columns are devoted each week to
the interesting events of the state
and nation.

Result.

Result.
The Hope base ball team broke
it's losing streak by defeating the
Fargo College team here yester-
day in one of the most exciting
exhibitions of the National game
witnessed on the home grounds
in a long time. Score, Hope 5,
Fargo 8.
Nelson made his first appear
ance on the slab for Hope and
demonstrated to the fans that he
can still pitch. Altho he was hit
safely occasionally, he pitched a
winning ball from the start and
would have scored a shut-out had
it not been for a costly error
thru short in the fourth. The
Congregationalists used three
pitchers in a vain effort to save
the game, but all to no avail.
Lake, Grogan and Granger each
took a turn on the firing line but
each proved ineffective against
the bombarding our boys had in
store.
In the first inning, Cumming,
the first man up for Hope,
reached first on an error and
scored later OH a hit to left by
Mclean. Fargo could do moth
ing and went out, one, two, three.
Neither team could do anything
in the scoring line until the
fourth, when Schmidt for Fargo
reached first on an error. An
o'her error advanced him and
gave Wilson a life on first. Gro
gan followed with a corking
three-bagger, scoring both and
he crossed the plate Immediately
when Broply got a safe one.
This ended the scoring for Fargo.
In the sixth Hope proceeded to
win the game. Mclean hit
safely. Rust followed with a
single and Rice got four wide
ones, filling up the bases. Cum
ming was up and caught the first
one on the nose for a clean two
sacker, scoring all three. He
reached home. himself on the
next hit. The remainder of the
game was a succession of goose
eggs for everybody.
Brundage starred for Hope
with the stick, getting three sin
giles and a two Dagger out of five
times up. Cumming and Hughes
carried off the fielding honors
while Law caught a magnificent
game behind the bat.
For Fargo, Wilson at first and
Grogan at second played the
snappiest kind of ball and Lewis
in left field brot the crowd to it's
feet with a hair raising catch OF
Laws drive in the sixth.

for this occasion.
The graduation address was
delivered by Superintendent w.

Our city is certainly in the
front rank in educational mat

can we'll feel proud of our excel
lent schools.
Monday evening the Grade
entertainment of the city schools
was held in the opera house. A
large audience greeted the pu-
pills and the appreciation by those
present was apparent thruout
the evening, the tiresome fea-
ture so often encountered in
children's entertainments being
entirely eliminated.
The Butterfly Drill" the
Dumb Bell Drill" and the
Cradle Song Of Nations, In Co.'S
tunes" were among the leading
features and are deserving of
special praise.
The Butterfly Drill'' consist
ed Of a drill by a number of little
girls dressed in costumes. fash
Toned in such a manner that they
resembled butterflies and when
they fitted about the stage in
their fantastic attire the effect
was splendid. The various mar.
ches, counter marches and ser
pentine movements were made
without an error and when the
last little butterfly was captured
by the little boy the applause
was loud and prolonged.
The Dumb Bell Drill was an.
other Feature of special interest
and showed the careful training
the pupils are receiving in our
schools.
The Cradle Song of Nations in
Costumes was the most spectac'
ular event of the evening. The
different natiOnalitieS were rep.
resented as follows; German,
Norwegian, Japanese, Indian
and Negro. Each of the differ.
en- t peoples we're represented by
seven little girls, excepting the
Africans. These the boys por,
trayed. Each set wore the typ.
ical garb of the country repre-.
scented and those who fashioned
the costumes showed consider.
able talent in that line. The
songs were we'll rendered., sever.
al in the native tongues. This
number was also applauded to
the echo.
The other parts Of the prog
ram were all well rendered and
each pupil taking part is entitled
to congratulations.
The event has created more
favorable comment than any
thing of it's kind ever given in the
town, and the teachers, the
Misses Larson, Gilmore, Car
penter, Little and Odney, under
whose direction the entertain
ment was given, are the recipi-
ents of many compliments upon
their success.
The Ladies' Aid of the M. E,

Two Girls Qua~eI About Money and

Interfere in the Camp
Warfare

A miniature revolution occurred in
the gypsy camp on the Mission road
near Eastlake park yesterday after
noon, but the disturbance was quickly
put to an end by officer M. r. Kincaid,
who arrested the two principal insti-
gators, Mary Mitchell and Lizzie Ba-
laddo.
Lizzie Baaddo asserted that Mary
Mitchell had stolen $500 from her, and
in vengeance straightway proceeded to
attach" Mary's two-months- child,
to hold until her money was returned.
officer Kincaid began an investiga-
ton and found the child hidden beneath
two thick blankets, nearly suffocated,
in the Baladdo woman's tent.
At the central station it was found
that Mary Mitchell had in her pos
session $3.50 of the money she was sup
posed to have stolen from Lizzie Ba-
laddo.
Mary Mitchell stoutly maintained
however, that she had come by the
money honestly, i'm the honorable pro-
fession of fortune telling

in the bloc; has made any complaint,
and when they were told of the fact
yesterday they expressed surprise.
Some remembered they had not seen
a sprinklinr cart on the block for a
long time, but they had no complaints
to make of dust.
This is an experiment that Mr.. Han
ley has been making to see If it would
make any difference to the merchants
if the street was not sprinkled. Broad
way is thoroughly swept by the auto
matte sweeperS that suck up the dust
and dirt every night. The hand brigade
takes care of them during the day,
and in this way the dust is reduced to
a minimum.
Hanley declares that the unsprinkled
block has proved more satisfactory
than the other paved streets in the
! usiness district, as the street was not
kept wet and pools of water allowed
to stand. Women have been able to
cross the street without wetting their
skirts and mud was not tracked in on
the floors of the business houses.
The board of public works is con-
sidering the advisability of treating
other business streets in the same way.
With a light wetting in the afternoon
the board believes the dust can be kept
down to the satisfaction of the business
men and the city save money and
water.

CITY INCINERATIoN REoPENS
Plant Which Was Partially Destroyed
by Fire Is Again in op-
Grafton

The garbage incinerator at Ninth
street and Santa Fe avenue. which has
been in the course of repairs for sew
eral months, will be started today The
garbage wagon drivers have been in
structed to dump the city's refuse in
the incinerator this morning.
The top of the incnerator has been
arranged so as to reduce the danger Of
accidents to minimum, and 1t will
be difficult for another fatality to occur
such as caused the death of Mexican
boy last spring when he fell from the
roof into the fiery furnace below.
One of the worries of the board Of
public works will be taken away when
the incinerator Is in operation, The
care of the city's garbage with nothing
to burn 1t i'm has been one of the great
est sources of annoyance to the board
Since the fire damaged the incinerator
it has been necessary to dump the
garbage on grounds owned by MCGUIRE
e Mcclure, who have the garbage coll
lection contract, and destroy 1t as much
as possible with lime.

of limestone. which he told the as
sayer was boraX.
Staples then became angry and Is
said to have threatened Weller if he
did not at once show him ore such as
the samples he had taken with him to
Los Angeles.
Weller replied that he could only
reach the richest deposits by walking
several hundred feet below the point
upon which they were standing.
Going to the place he had been di-
rected to, Staples says he discovered
that he had been fooled by q, hoax, as
there was no evidence of anything.
When he returned to the automobile
Weller was not to be found and did not
return, though Staples says he waited
for nearly an hour.
Shortly after this occurrence Weller
went TO the office of Downe & Fowle,
mining engineers in Los Angeles, and
placed the same proposition before
them.
This time he is said to have repre-
sented himself to be "Mr. Miller" and
went in company with a man named
Johnson, who he said was a partner
in his mining claim.
Mr.. Fowle had heard of the man and
his methods before and promptly noti-
fled the police, who went at once to
make the arrest.

BORAX LElGE IS
FANCIFUL DREAM
ROSY REVERIE ENDS IN A
NIGHTMARE
Expert Says the Man Who Repre-
scented He Had Found Valuable
Mining Property Failed to
Make Good

The rosy dre9 ms of a man who saw
riches in a ledge of limestone which
he tried to convince Others was the
finest borax, ended yesterday in q
nightmare of police court troubles.
The man, Fred Weller of 516 Central
avenue, was sentenced to sixty days
imprisonment on fine of $6O Not able
TO pay the fine he has gone to serve out
his sentence in the city Jail.
According to the testimony OF the
complaining witnesses yesterday, Well
Ter had approached j. o. Horton,
business man of Los Angeles, with a
proposition to "grubstake" him to the
extent of 5000. besides financing the de-
Velopment of what he claimed was a
wonderfully rich boraX mine in Ar
rowhead valley, about twelve miles
from San Bernardino.
He is alleged to have made the as
sertion that Il face ledge o? borax
twelve feet i'm height was on his clam,
and that he could trace the indications
of borax for 600 feet.
Horton became interested in the tale
of undeveloped wealth. but before plac-
ing any money in the prospect, enl-
ployed an expert assayer, n. Il. Staples
22S West First street, TO go with Wei-
Ter to his claim and Investigate tho
conditions.
Weller objected to make the trip un-
less SIS was given him for expense
money. This was given him and after
reaching San Bemardlno the trip was
made to Arrowhead valley by automo-
bile
Staples says that finally AN old water
worn ditch was reached and Weller
pointed to the place, saying, "W1il
here we are" The indications of pros
recting did not satisfy Staples and 30
objected, demanding to be taken to the
claim. They rode ON a little further,
when Weller pointed to outcroppings

centrals and patrons
The prefiXes are simply letters rang
ing from A to f, but when the phone
is not in the best of order E is very
apt to sound like B. and vice versa.
The large growth of the business has
rendered 1t imperative that the prefix
system be established for branch CEN
trails. Then, too the adoption of the
prefix system win render 1t much easier
for those having automatic phones to
call the number. While, under the old
system, the owner of an automatic
phone had to call central for many
numbers, under the new regime all
numbers will be called automatically.
