Frances Earliest Artists.

The caves Of southern France are
the most remarkable in the world for
their wall pictures, made by prehis.
toric men. Some of the pictures are
engraved in the rock, some are painted
with different colors. They usually
represent extinct animals, such as
cave-lions and cave-bears. But more

Better Postal Service.

According to the Duluth News-Trib-

Hunters Park, Glen Avon and Wood
land-outlying precincts of Duluth
to call upon Senator Nelson to secure
better postal facilities. The senator
responded to the call and the resi-

carrier service after September 1.
Several score of settlers in the north

greatly pleased if the senator would

PROF. 7. l. HACKER
Eminent Authority on Dairy Cow Will
Address West Branch Cream
cry Picnic Assemblage.
Baseball Game, Music and Other Fea.
lures Arranged for Annual
Outing of Association.

Lest you forget, your attention is
again called to the annual picnic of
the West Branch Cooperative Cream
cry company in o. 81. Uglem's grove,
Long Siding, on Sunday next, August
18th.
This yearly gathering of the patrons
OF the creamery, their friends and the
public generally is not only an event
OF recreation and enjoyment, but also
an occasion upon which those in at
tendance can learn much upon differ
ent branches of farming and other
subjects from speakers who will ad-
dress them. For instance, at next
Sundays picnic, as stated in last
weeks Union, Professor T. L.
Hacker of the state experiment sta
ton will speak of the COW, the CO.
operative creamery and the centralized
plants. There are few men in this
country more capable of treating
these subjects than Mr.. Hacker.
This is especially true of the subject
of COWS. Mr.. Hacker has made a
study of COWS for years. He can tell
at a glance whether COW is good.
bad or Indifferent, and he can tell you
the kind of COW you should purchase
in order to reap the largest profits.
Everyone interested in dairying
should be present and listen to Prof.
Hackers discourse.
r. G. Dunn has promised to give a
short address on good roads, but we
are unable at this time to give the
names of other speakers who will be
there in consequence of the fact that
arrangements have not yet been per-
fected by the committee.
A ball game will be among the at
fractions and the Milaca band has
been engaged to furnish music. Ice
cream will be on the grounds in
plenty and the band boys, baseball
teams and speakers will be furnished
with refreshments gratuitously.
For a day of enjoyable recreation in
a pretty grove you should attend the
picnic of the West Branch Creamery
association next Sunday.

A New Binder Irvine.

The following press dispatch comes
from Omaha: .
If all the binder Irvine which will
this year be used to tie Nebraska's
big crop of wheat, corn and oats were
in one piece it would be long enough
to make eight strands between the
earth and the moon, with a piece left
over long enough to wrap four times
around the earth and then a little
piece 1000 miles long with which to
tie double bow knot in the end. The
Nebraska farmers will use 2l, ~, 1873
miles of Irvine on their grain this fall
at cost of about So, 760, O0O-a triAe
over 81 mile.
Practically all the Irvine is sisal,
and comes from Yucatan. There was
time when Manila was called upon
to produce the rope and Irvine for the
world, but that has changed and the
peninsula of Yucatan in Central
America, now sends almost all this
grade of goods that America needs.
Manila has risen in price so rapidly
in the last few years that it has been
simply frozen out of the binding bust
ness. -...
The new grade of Irvine is being in
PRODUCED in the central west this year.
It was used in Montana to certain
extent last year, but has not yet been
tried in Nebraska. 1t is made of flax
and has proven very satisfactory.
The price is about 2 cents a pound
less than sisal. Only a very limited
amount of this fax Irvine will be
available for use in Nebraska this
year.
But there is another source from
which binder Irvine is being made and
which bids fair to run sisal and
Manila out of the market. This is the
despised western sage brush. J. D.
Carmichael, of Shoshone, Wyo., three
months ago announced that he had
discovered process whereby sage
brush fiber could be cheaply manufac-
tured into rope and Irvine. Carmi-
chael has been granted patent
on his process and says that next
year he will be in the market with his
product.
Sage brush grows in practically
every western state. Nowhere is the
soil too dry for sage brush, and the
supply is practically unlimited. The
fiber is tough and strong, but Car
michael says that when properly
treated the resultant is equal in dura-
bllity and fneness to the very best
Manila. 1t is his intention to con-
struct factory at Shoshone, where he
expects to treat millions of pounds an
nually and to enter into competition
with the cordage trust.

Hundreds of Good Irish There,

"Pat" was a little "beliquored, -
and was boasting one day in saloon
about his ancestors and his native
country, and was remarking that he
was Irish and that he was proud OF
the fact, when man entered, and,
hearing his remark, said:
"You are right, old man. I like the
Irish and up where I live there are
hundreds of them, and I wish there
were hundreds more there.''
This pleased "Pat'' to such an ex-
tent that he spent considerable money
on his newly found friend, and after
his departure ''Pat'' inquired of the
barkeeper where he lived, remarking
that he was a "dum fine man, any,
way"
"That man," replied the barkeeper,

AT ELK LAKE PARK
campers and Others Take Advantage
Of Magnificent Weather to En-
Joy Life in Wildwoods.
n. b. Pratt and Two Pickerel Perform
Merry DO. Round Act of Partic-
ularly Per1lous Nature.

Pleasure seekers in large number
from various parts of the country were
at the lake during the week and the
weather was such that outdoor life
could be enjoyed to it's fullest extent.
Fridays regular dance attracted a
big crowd, as it always does, and the
Hoor was we'll filed from the COM
mencement to the close of the hop.
On Sunday Rev. J. W. Heard of the
Princeton Methodist church delivered
an able sermon in the pavilion and
was listened to by a fair-sized audi
ence. The reverend gentleman's SER
mon was much appreciated by the
lakeside sojourners.
Those occupying cottages at the
lakte9 this week are Misses Anna
and Grace Sadley, Misses Norma and
lnez Van Alstein; Mrs. Maud Holm
and daughter and Miss Gennow. Rev.
and Mrs. J. W. Heard and guests
have returned from the lake.
Fishermen have had good luck this
week with the exception of Mr.. Pratt,
who on Saturday morning started out
at sunrise to capture a few fish for
breakfast Contrary to the laws made
and provid led Mr.. Pratt was fishing
with two hooks-one on each side of
the boat. simultaneously he felt a tug
on each line-tugs that told him fish
OF bore than ordinary size had be-
come hooked. He pulled on the right
lire and then on the left, but to his dis
maTnary fish could he bulge. He
knew they were hooked, however, from
the 1ashings and splashings beneath
the boat. he pulled again but to no
avail, and just as he was about to
utter words unbecoming a gentleman
the boat began to revolve, at first
slowly. but gradually gained mo-
men um until Mr.. Pratt spun with the
rapiaity of humming top. He put
forth every effort with the oars to stop
the boat, but around it went, and
around and-around. Becoming
thoroughly alarmed at the situation
he whipped out his jack knife and
severed the lines. Instantly there was
a fearful commotion alongside the
boat as two huge pickerel tied together
appeared upon the surface and then
disappeared in the depths. The two
fish had twisted the lines together be-
meath the boat and consequently it
was an impossibility to land either.
