E. D. Logan says, and Mr.. Lo-
gan ought to know, that the very
late flax was badly damaged by
the recent frost. Some Of this
late stuff was only in bloom the
middle Of this week, and such
may make lax if the frosts hold
off long enough. which is very
unlikely.
The Modern Brotherhood of
America will organize in Logan S
hall next Friday evening, Sept.
80. All interested persons will
please come early. Social dance
and refreshments after the Or
ganization. A class OF g. has been
written.-J. E. Mulholland. dis.
trict manager.
The North Star Lumber yard is
now equipped with an automobile
Of its own-a Hupmobile. which
arrived Wednesday and was at
once taken in charge by Mr.. Lee,
the manager. Things are coming
to a pretty pass when common
lumber men can ride around in
gas carts while better people are
compelled to walk or not go.
9. H. Moulton purchased q lit
tie more Golden Valley real es-
tate this week and seems to be
we'll pleased with his, invest
ment. His purchase consists Of
section l3.l4-5o. located six
miles northwest Of this city. He
bought it Of j. G. Burtch of
Usage, Iowa. paying $40 per acre.
Mr.. Moulton says this section is
one of the best in the valley. and
about the last one obtainable at
the price.
Still. there are not many side.
walks being constructed. Our
people do not feel the need of
them except during or after a
rain. when the mud is like soap,
and then there isn't time to build
them. 1t is high time that some
move were made in this direction.
Good sidewalks add much to tile
appearance Of any place and go a
long way toward eliminating the
prairie custom Of cutting the
corners.
BY grapevine telegraph we hear
that Sheriff viii, who went west
last week in search Of the two
guests who recently took their
departure from his house in
Medora without going through
the customary formalities, has
succeeded in locating them and
will doubtless induce them to ac-
company him back home. To
our way of thinking, it is. bad
enough to have to go to jail any,
where, but to have to go jail in
Medora amounts to cruel and in
human treatment.
DR.. z. w. stough's new busi-
ness block on South Blanche
street is making rapid progress at
the hands Of Contractor Sa!zman
and his crew Of workmen and
will be ready for occupancy by
the tenants in few weeks. This
big building materially alters the
aspect Of that street, but it is
to be regretted that no two of the
buildings on that side of the street
are on line. This gives a ragged
effect which is not the most de.
sirable feature Of a business
block.
Although the work has been
badly delayed by the non-arrival
of the engine and generator,
which were to have been here by
the first Of September, Manager
Chrysler assures US that we will
still have electric lights this
month. The big machinery is ex.
pected now almost any day, and
the necessary connections will be
made within a couple of days
thereafter, and the electric Juice
turned on. Mr.. Chrysler and his
men have worked hard to give the
people of Beach an excellen. sys.
tenn of lighting, and we venture
the assertion that no one ever saw
better equipment in town OF
this size.
W. S. Davis had a little ex.
perience Wednesday morning
which he doesn't care to have
repeated. He went into the store
of the St. Paul Salvage Co. look.
