Glasgow Review: All the trouble
that has occurred 10 Glasgow the past
week is attributed to a new drink that
some q has introduced in the CON-
munity known as an Evelyn Nesbit
cocktail" 1t is said that one appli.
cation will produce a brain storm that
can only be appeased by the firing of
Of a gun or hitting somebody over the
head with a six shooter. Several up.
town places r serving the drink with
remarkable success.
Chinook Opinion: The Chinook
creamery Is showing q gratifying in
crease Of business these days. The
output OF the factory during the month
Of March was 1900 pounds and the
first two weeks in April the product
amounted to $50 pounds, and q decid-
ed increase will show from now on.
The factory cannot fill all of the or.
ders that come in and q ready market
is assured for double the product that
the ere amery has eve produced.
Conrad Observer: Another Reeves
steam pillow has arrived at Collins for
Kerr & Hanson, of the Burton bench.
This makes four steam plows which

this year. These, with the HalvOrsOn
steam pillow in Cut Bank aud the In.
graham L. Ritchey steam pillow in Con-
rad, and another on the Burton bench,
make seven steam plows within the

if another county in the state has one.
half this number.

Glasgow News: The steamer COX
left Milk River station Monday, 70,
her initial trip up the Missouri river,
Captain Stevens ia charge. Three
carloads Of mixed freight was taken
mos, OF it being for John NJ. Nelson,
new Q at Kismet. 1t is though
that IL will take about six days tt
make the trip, it being about 400 miles
by river. The boat has not q double
crew and ties up at night. The floodl
and wretched condition of the roads
ha. made il almost impossible to ge'
merchandise from the railroad and the
boat will have a busy time moving
the freight that people wish to ship.
The boat comes up the Milk river to q
point near Milk River station to take
on cargo. IL is probable that this i.
the first trip of a large steamer Or
Milk river.
