The company has secured a

said will be one, of the best and
largest towns along. the extension.
The company is. under the man
agement Of competent men and
will no doubt make. a success of
their venture. The new N. p.
line passes thru, a rich country
and theIe is no reason why there
should not be a number of good
towns located there. Mr.. Ellis has
associated with, him in the ven-

LIQUOR CRAzES
THE BEST MEN
Too Hpeh Help Cannot be Given At
hsney General Miller In
Cleaning Bad Spots.

Attorney General Miller will be
kept busy for some time clearing
up the towns in this state. Con.
ditions in Napoleon need his at
tention at present according to the
clipping from the Homestead:
Again have we had the unpleas-
antness of drunken brawl to
happen in our usually quiet and
orderly town. Liquor crazes the
best man as we'll as the vagabond
and brings an erstwhile respectable
citizen down to the level of the
lowest wretch living. What a sad
tale of woe follows the path of the
intemperate-the drunkard. We
have before us almost daily an OBJ
ject :pitiful to behold; man who
has for many years past been
prominent in county and state af-
fairs;a man who has not only been
prominent but a power. politically
whose long career in that respect
has not been equalled by any of
his fellow citizens. He has now
lost that strong hold by his actions,
those actions being the results of
intempe7ance. Liquor destroys
the mind and ambitions of the
good man just as we'll as the. man
who has no standing. The at
torney general informs the writer
that he has been receiving many
complaints against blindpiggers
in this locality of late and that as
soon as possible for him so to do
he intends to make general
housekeeping here and the way
that things have been going. at
times in the past it is high time
that something is done. When
anyone loses SO much. respect for
himself or family as to stagger
along the street in a drunken con-
dition and use profane and ob-
scene language regardless of the
presence of ladies or little children
it is high time they were landed
where they belong. The county
has fine place for the storage of
such freaks.

Max Enterprix.

| Mr.. and Mrs. E. Fl. Reese and
lMr. and Mrs. d. j. Grant returned
monday from their trip to the
Seattle exposition and other west

enjoyable time and the trip we'll
worth making.
1. N. johnson was in yesterday
hauling out material for new
basement barn, the size of which
is to be 36x42 feet. He reports
that he was one of the unfortun-
ate ones hit by the hail storm last
Wednesday and part Of his crop
was practically all taken.
Crops around Max are second
to none this year. Reports come
from some nearby towns that they
might be better. But not 30
around here 1t the farmers are
telling the truth-and we believe
they are. A short time will tel
the story.
A little hail fell Sunday evening
but no damage resulted in our ter
ritory that We can learn of. Far
ther south and just east of Garri-
son small strip Of territory was
hit harder and some damage was
done to the crops. Again We'd
nesday afternoon a narrow strip
was hailed out about two miles
north of town striking the Jack
Luokaduk farm and making
clean sweep for several miles to
the east. While the loss will
prove severe to those whose crops
lay in its path the territory struck
was not extensive.

Railroad Work. Progressing;

Grading has progressed so rap
idly in Oliver county that some of
it can be seen from Washburn. A
number have gone over from here
to watch the graders at their work.
The Republican at Stanton boosts
for the county, and has the follow
ing to say about the grading:
During the, fore part of this
week two, more large outfits Of
graders and. teams arrived in this
vicinity TO, commence work on the
railroad. They have sub-oontraots
and will work between here and
Deapolia within four miles of
Stanton. The. grade is being CON-
pleted at this end Of the line as
fast as it can possibly be done.
And ii looks reasonable to believe
that the rails will be in Stanton
before 1910. In conversation with
parties who are in a position to
know, we learn that there will be
more than one place to market
your grain in Stanton this fall. "A
gentleman from Harvey has been
in town most Of the week looking
up a location for an elevator and
will build as soon as the side
tracks are located and graded,
which will probably be within a
month.
Mercer county has mighty fine
crop and there will be something
doing when the crops are market
ed. It is estimated that wheat
will average better than twenty
bushels to the acre throughout
the entire county, and other grain
Is far above the average. The
prices Of land are advancing rapid
II and many new people are COM
ing TO the country.

Timothy sown in Slough Near Tur.

To Be Cat with Hay.

Curtis Peterson shipped two
carloads Of cattle Tuesday to St
Paul, loading here and shipping
over the N. P. which makes better
time than the 500.
Joe Renfrow's boys brought in
a handful of timothy this week,
length of straw 4 feet and heads
from six to seven inches long.
The boys claim this a fair sample
gathered from a forty acre field
which their father is cutting fol
seed. On the same quarter sec
tion is a twenty acre field Of corn
standing waist high and tassling
out. Renfrow is from Iowa and
farms as if be lived there yet.
Z. I'll. Delmore seeded a hundred
pounds timothy in six acre hay
slough this spring and is now cut
ting just twice as much hay from
it as heretofore. The seed grew
and much of it was foot
high by cutting time. Delmore
tried this as experiment and it
proved SO successful that he will
seed timothy next spring in all his
hay sloughs. y The prairie grass
and timothy growieg up together
make the very best kind of hay
and does not get dusty as timothy
alone is likely to do.

Hail Storm Strikes, Near logden.

This section was visited by a
disastrous hail storm accompanied
BY terrific wind Wednesday af:-
ternoon. A.strip of'country, north
ct Dogden, a mile wide and ex-
tending for several miles east and
west was swept clean. Many of
the fields have the appearance Of
having been cut with mower.

the heaviest loser. His crop is. a
total loss. His house was severe

Elpsen: His crop is entirely de-
stnoyed and the roof of his barn
Flown OFF. G. w. johnson is an
|lobher good farmer who is regret
ting that his crop was not insured.
His. crop was not entirely destroy
ed but the damage: probably
amounted to four-tifths Of the value
|of the crop. Knute. Ffanzvog's
grain was damaged but was insur-
Jed. Among those who were hail
ed out are j. III. Heck. Alex Stitch,
Nh. Aiming, Mr.. Klimp and many
Others. At Harry Owens place a
fiock of twenty-five chickens were
killed and completely buried in
the hail. At the Pifer farm the
storm was not so fierce as to dam
age the crop but the family were
some distance from the house when
the storm struck and we're out in
it. It was not a pleasant exper-
ience.
Around Kisf the crops are said
to have been entirely hailed out.
The loss is estimated at $25O,OOO
in the vicinity Of Kief. A fair
percentage Of those hailed out
near Dogden carried Insurance.

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Spokane Stage Driver Has Desperate
Encounter With Cougar.

Spokane, WASH, June S.-Grant
Turnball, a stage driver operating be-
tween Newport and Elk, WASH. north
of Spokane, had an experience with
O. full-grown cougar which he will not
forget for some time. While driving
along the narrow mountain road near
Rogers Pass his horses became fright
ened and bolted. The driver managed
by sheer fortune to keep the wheels of
the coach in the ruts, and after the
horses had expended their energy he
made an investigation. Perched in the
rear of the coach was ferocious cou-
gar Before the animal could spring
upon him, Turnbull used the butt of his
heavy whip, but the big cat leaped
over his head and disappeared in the
timber before he could inf1ict the death
blow. Settlers in the northern part of
Spokane county report cougar numer-
Gus, but this is the first instance of a
stage driver having one as a
passenger Turnbull claims a new
record for driving a coach from the
point where he discovered the cougar
to Newport There is bounty on the
head Of cougar in the state of Wash
ington. Tom B. Hopper, a noted bear
slayer, who has killed hundreds of cou-
gar and wild cats in this part of the
West during the last rs years. is or
ganizing a party to make hunt there
