The city fathers are preparing
to make things bilious for tran
sient merchants hereafter. The
question to be determined is,
"What constitutes a TRANSIENT"
2 A government revenue inspec'
tor was in the city Wednesday
nosing around. and we hear that
he found few things which were
irregular and not according to the
way in which Uncle Samuel runs
his house.
County Superintendent j. A.
Kitchen and Auditor McGregor
were in the city Wednesday. The
gentlemen are on the job of ap-
praising the school lands which
will be sold to the highest bid
ders at public auction early in
December. Most of this school
land is very choice and is ex-
pected to bring fancy prices. The
sale will be held here and will be
the only one in the state this
year.
On the 18th inst. the ticket
sales at the local depot had those
for the whole month of Septem.
Der. last year, exceeded-well, we
will not say by how much-but it
is large. Perhaps the people are
going east earlier this year, and
it may be that the people of this
region are in better shape to
travel this year than ever before.
Anyway, the ticket sales are
larger. as we said in the begin.

Bro. Kane of the Wibaux
Pioneer is admonished to revise
his figures in regard to the num-
Der of victories won this summer
by the Wibaux baseball team.
While they say that figures WON
lie, his are certainly misleading.
If our memory doesn't play us
false, Beach won several games
from WibauX-more than Wibaux
won from Beach-more than the
total number reported lost by the
Pioneer. Brush up
The city fathers of Beach ought
to get busy and pass an ordinance
putting stop to the practice Of
leaving horses unhitched on the
streets. During the past week nc
fewer than three runaways started
from in front Of the postoffice,

during the past week selling
stock in such an enterprise. Tn
scheme is perfectly feasible. bu
the process is slow. This, how
ever, is probably offset by tn
cheapness of operation. Our bust
ness men generally are takin
stock in the enterprise, which,
set going once, will furnis
pure and cheap ice-somethin
we have not been blessed with S
