ADAMS AIMLESSLETS

A heavy snow storm passed through
the Thirteen Mile Creek locality May
Goth, 1908, which lasted about "a
hours, being the severest storm of the
season and leaving many huge drifts
in its path, with the thermometer
around freezing. Probably six or eight
inches of snow fell on the level. A
certain drift blown over an embank-
ment and measured by the writer was
nearly seven feet high. The storm
was followed by freeze on the 21st,
with the mercury at Is, and ice a
quarter of an inch thick. The farmers
will evidently be delayed for a few
days. There was not much damage to
crops, but stock exposed was rather
chilled.
DIED.-On May 21st, 1903, Mrs.
Mary Rockford, aged rs years. She
was born in New York. but was res
ident of Lake City, Mimi, for many
years. The latter part of her life was
spent with her daughter, Mrs. Sulli-
van, near McHenry, n. D., until a
short time ago, when Mr.. Sullivan
and family, accompanied by the aged
lady, emigrated to the North Fork of
Thirteen Mile Creek to make their
home. Funeral services were held at
the schoolhouse after which the re-
mains, accompanied by neighbors and
friends, were laid to rest in the new
cemetery, one-fourth mile north of the
schoolhouse of District Is. Mrs. Rock
ford was the mother of 6 large fani-
ly, five children surviving her.

May Build Line to Park

The rumor that the St. Paul road is
going to build a branch line to the
Yellowstone national park and that the
branch will be built from Roundup is
gaining credence, says the Roundup
Record.
It is said that corps of engineers
is now at work making a preliminary
survey, and the indications are that
the park branch will be constructed
before the completion of the line to
the coast. The projected line would in
sure a large passenger traffic for the
st. Paul road, the bulk of which has
heretofore been enjoyea by the North
ern Pacific, and there is no doubt that
the new road will make strong bid
for this business. It is foregone con-
clusion that the line will be construct
ed sooner or later, and it would be
poor policy on the part of The st. Paul
to overlook this strong attraction to
the tourist.

MILLIONS ARE
CLEANED UP
Corner Held by Patten and His Associates
Finally Comes to an End.

1907. In that month May corn sold up
to 654 cents. The financial troubles
which came about that time tumbled
the price to 51s cents. After the finan-
cial furry had abated the price of May
corn advanced slowly. During Febru-
ary it sold up to 62a cents and in
March at 685 cents. Since then it has
continued to climb and shorts have
secured the country for corn to deliver
on their May contracts. Immense
quantities of the grain have been de-
livered to Patten, but he paid for 1t
all and apparently stood ready at all
times to take more.
Early in May the shorts began des-
perate efforts to fill the Chicago eleva-
tors with corn and many of the west
ern railroads issued rush orders to
apply on all corn shipments. Despite
this, however, the ''Patten crowd
was not compelled to let go, nor was
their hold in the market weakened TO
any apparent extent.

CITY FATHERS
IN SESSION
Street Commissioner Appointed. Question of
Opera House Addition Comes Up.

The regular meeting of the city
council was held on Monday even
ing with all the members present
except Alderman Leiper. Owing
to the enforced absence of City
Clerk Rivenes on account of very
sick child at his home, Chief of Po-
lice j. A. Mitchell oficiated in his
place.
Considerable business of impor-
tance was transacted with reference
to city improvements and innova-
tions. The report of Chief of Po-
lice j. A. Mitchell showed a total
of 5000. 80 in fines collected during
the month.
Steps were taken towards the re-
moval of miniature lake which
has accumulated on the Northern
Pacific right-of-way. It was deem
ed advisable to secure the co-opera-
ton of the company in filling up
the frog pond and the matter will
be taken up with the proper officials
at once. K. w. Snyder was appoint
ed street commissioner for the pre-
sent season at the same salary as
that of last year. Special attention
will be given to the stray COWS and
horses which are turned loose by
certain residents and allowed to
diminish the floral decorations and
accumulated vegetable herbage of
their neighbors' premises or, in
other words, war is to be made on
the bovine creatures which eat up
lawns and gardens. By the time a
few fees are paid to the city treas
ury for this privilege, residents will
probably exercise more care.
A petition from adjacent proper
4ty owners requesting a sewer be-
tween Douglas and Clough streets
was referred to the proper commit
tee with request to report on same
at the next regular meeting.

Bids were opened for furnishing
the pipes required in the extension
of the water mains this season The
contract was awarded the Washing
ton Pipe & Foundry Company of
Tacoma. Washington, who make a
superior grade of pipe. according
to City Engineer Baer.
Ben Ziegler was awarded the con-
tract to apply two coats of paint to
the city hall, inside and outside, for
total consideration of $28. Mr..
Ziegler was enabled to outbid his
competitors owing to the fact that
he will not have to use stepladder
in conducting operations, or at least
it was SO figured out by the courcil.
A motion to make the color of the
hall bright red was tabled, as the
aldermen were of the opinion that
other times and places were more
appropriate for applying such a
color. Color left to discretion of
mayor. The fire department was
given authority to purchase 500 feet
more Of hose for use as occasion de-
mands.
J. R. Widmyer presented a petit
ton requesting a building permit
for erecting an addition to the Opera
House, extending to the alley in the
rear of the present structure. Plans
were submitted, but these were
deemed rather insufficient for the
general knowledge of the council.
The matter was left in the hands of
City Engineer Baer and j. II. Per-
nington, to investigate and report
at the next meeting. The members
expressed a hearty desire to CO.
operate with Mr.. Widmyer to give
the public better place of amuse-
ment if plans were satisfactory.
The usual bills for public work
and supplies furnished were audited
and allowed.

DEATH FROM EXPOSURE

During the recent severe snowstorm
at least one life paid forfeit to the fu-
ry of the elements.
William P. King, who was en-
ployed on the ranch of Peter Nancy,
was the unfortunate victim whom the
wrath of the storm had singled out
for destruction. On the fatal day Mr..
King, who had only been at the ranch
for a few days, went out with a
small bunch of sheep. When the
storm struck him it seems that he be-
came bewildered and lost most of the
sheep. When found by Mr.. Nancy,
after lapse of some three hours, he
was in half frozen condition, and it
was necessary to carry him to the
camp, where he died few hours af-
terward.
An inquest was held by Coroner
Stewart on the body at Sidney, whith-
er the remains were taken. The facts
were brought out that King came
from Toronto, Canada about month
ago. He was 28 years of age and a
native of England, where his parents
now reside. TIE deceased left life
insurance policy of $500 in a Canadian
order.

HOTTEST DAY OF YEAR.

City sweIters During Day and Night
Of Excessive Heat.
All records for excessive and swelter-
ing heat for the year were broken
Monday, which proved to be the hottest
day Of the summer. An abundance Of
moisture in the atmosphere made the
heat doubly hard to bear, and the
night gave snoi relief.
The extreme temperature for the day
was 80, and the thermometer stood at
this point most of the afternoon and
far into the night. It was not until
after midnight that the mercury
dropped to below 80, and it was not UNI
til late during the night that sleepers
could get much comfort.
In an effort to get some rest people
took to their porches, floors, by open
windows or any place that afforded the
coolest spot.
The minimum during the night was
70, and at o'clock this morning the
mercury had risen to rs, the same as
at the same hour yesterday morning,
which indicates that today will be al
most, if not fully, as warm as yester-
day.
