The weather. during the two weeks
just passed, has been excellent. for
the growing crops. Wheat and oats
are making great strides, while corn
and flax were never better, and the
farmers tributary to Wilton are over
joyed with the prospects of a bounti-
full harvest. "a Is --+..,
49, The Wilton ball team had an open
day Sunday, inasmuch as they were
unable to get any team to go up
against, SO took trip to the river
and spent a day among the timber
and mosquitoes. We now have an or
ganization the equal if not superior
to any baseball aggregation on the
Slope, and are anxious to meet all
corners. If you want games, address
the manager,sJ. R. Larson.
Mrs. J. B. Lloyd and E.. L. Phelps,
her daughter, both from Lake Mills,
Iowa, are visiting their daughter and
sister, Mrs. J. r. Larson. -.
Prairie chickens are being slaugh-
tered by pot hunters,' who are not
entitled to the name of Sports as
no real sport would kill chickens now,
that are no larger than robins. One
week ago., large coveys of chickens,
numbering as high as fifteen in a
covey, were. seen within three miles
Of Wilton, where now remains but the
"cld' hen." the little ones being
cleaned out. If we want to have any
shooting here, when the law opens,
We must have the, chickens protected
now, as they are. too small and tame
as yet to offer any sport to the real
sport, who wishes to give the birds a
! chance for their lives. We must have
a WideaWake game warden around
here, and one who will enforce the
law, at that or the chickens will soon
be all gone
Brick-laying has commenced on the
block of the Wilton Mercantile com
pany, and already one can see the
beautiful effect produced in the use
of Wilton brick. The local yard is to
be congratulated on the grade of brick
they are putting out, and the build
ing now in course of erection will
stand as an imposing "ad'' for Wilton
Industries ~,
TWO telephone experts from Bis
marck are here, fixing up some of the
"out of ORDER phones and putting in
a number Of new ones. - Il
Walter Graham, the popular cashier
OF thesWilton bank, and his wife left
Saturday evening on a months vaca-
ton, during which time they will visit
the great Niagara Falls and their old
home in Canada. N
The Jahr-Eastu'an Mercantile Co.
have erected in front of their "Big
Store" a new awning, which adds to
the attractiveness of the street and
building as well as to the comfort of
their employees and their numerous
customers. If you can read, you can
not fail to locate their place Of bust
ness. A.
Every farmer should be Game
Warden" and given a reward for file
ing complaints against the Slaughter
OF the Innocentss" and it would posi-.
bly, would stop this massacre of prairie
chickens before they are old enough
to fly "Out OF Range Hunters 60
out from here every day, ostensibly to
Break their dogs but they take their
guns too, and the "Innocents'' are rap
idly disappearing. Why not make an
example Of some one? The dogs are
all broke by this time, they having
practiced every day for two weeks or
more, and If they are not broken by
this time, they had better dispose OF
them, as they never viii learn, and the
chickens are too young.
