The Minneapolis Tribune is devot-
ing great deal of space to news
from Bismarck and the Missouri
Slope and has published number of
views and cartoons of interest to this
section, which work is greatly appre.
ciated by people hereaway.
While most Of the articles are of a
purely news nature or along develop
ment of the country lines, occasion
ally a bit of humor creeps in accom-
panied by an excellent cartoon which
attracts general attention.
One Of these latter items appear
ed on the monday night and Tuesday
morning Tribunes, accompanied by a
cartoon, showing the iceman deliver
ing cake of ice, in which fish are
frozen, to the waiting housewife stand
ing in the doorway with fryingpan
in hand. This is the story, under
Bismarck date, below the cartoon:
Next summer the people of this
city will be able to go to their
refrigerators, get live fish and
cook him while he wiggles.
This desirable condition of af-
airs has come about by the find
ing Of a pond near the river in
which the ice is full of the finest
kind of edible fish. The pond
was formed by the overflow OF
the Missouri river last spring, and
when the water receded small
sandbar kept thousands OF fish
imprisoned. The silt Of the river
has settled to the bottom Of the
pond and purified the water as a
filter would do, SO the ice Is the
finest in the world and is solid
and clear as crystal to the bot
tom.
