New "MolIette" Glove
For Men.

HHOWN in attractive shades of

feeling of a mocha or undressed
skin glove, and is intended to take
the place Of a lined glove. They are
superior to the lined glove because
they are warmer, wear better, look
better, are not so clumsy, and they
are pleasanter to The hand than any
lined glove.

doubt as to. the future was expert
enced. The town was still doing al
good business, it still being great
trading center for the country and en-
5joying an excellent trade with the IN
5dians Of the Fort Rerthold reservation
and a good town for the livery and
hotel business. ~
At this time there were two stores,
Geo. z. Robinson conducting general
store and the McGray Bros. having a.
large hardware, furniture and imple-
ment business. II. Il Simon was CON

The Citizens State bank and the Coal
Harbor Lumber company were also
having an excellent business, and Jas
Boyle, one Of the first pioneers of the
county, having come to Fort Steven
son in 1857, was running carpenter
shop in the town. HS
One day in May, 1905, news came to
Coal Harbor that caused joy or sad
ness, depending upon the interests Of
those hearing the news The railroad
was to be built on to the northwest
from Underwood.
These Were Wild and Exciting Days.
There were all kinds of rumors
adoat and railroad officials and EN-
ployees were coming and going. Gov

of the interior department were look
ling after the public land business or
examining into the possibilities Of +.
lrigation works and the geological de
partments Of both the national and

field making survery, and much Of this
work being done in the Coal Harbor
leountry made interesting times.
Realizing that the End had Come.
There are hopes and aspirations OF
towns and communities as well as Of
individuals, and to see them uprooted
and DESTROYED is a sad sight, but thai
which men cali progress does not stor

and when the people of Coal Harbol

There had been good veins Of Ignite

and the question was, did the coal ex-
tend under the broad prairies this two
miles? Holes were drilled on section

hole, and the work ceased when the
drill stuck in a coal seam which it had
penetrated to a distance Of 10 or IL
feet and a depth Of 100 feet from the
surface. But, alas! a great change
came The railroads were not built.

being an Englishman, having. decid-
ed to have the town named Victoria,
in honor Of England's greatest queen
objected. This at once produced a
verbal war with all kinds of rumors
as to the approach Of physical dem

would follow, and at once a flank
ing movement was observed and, in

tinued as to name and to where the

Mr.. Gilbert had his family on the
grounds and was duly and accord

Office was legally and properly
named Coal Harbor. and being in
physical possessions the matter was
finally adjusted, il not to the salts
faction Of all, in such q way as to
allow matters to proceed peacefully
as to the building of the town and the
settling up Of the country.
As the railroad company was anx-
