Born.-To Mr.. and Mrs. Jack T..
Soden, Friday morning, Dec. l, II girl.
This simple announcement does not
tell the whole story. Jack has been
acting like Il crazy man since the inn
poltant event happened. lie was SO
anxious for a girl that he hung npa
purse Of 500 for one, and he is glad
lie lost. Ii the arrival had happened
| a few hours earlier it would have been
Thanksgiving. bat Il few hours, Jack
says, will not prevent him from being
forever thankful for the gift OF the
sweet little stranger that is now wrap
ped up in swaddling clothes, the COM
ing ruler OF the Soden household.
Hon. W. II. Peck of Garneill was a
city visitor Friday. Mr.. Peck, be-
sides being general merchant and
l.. 5. commissioner, is quite wheat
raiser in the Judith Gap district.
Not being satisfied with the price and
grade allowed at the Garneill eleva-
tor for his wheat this fall, he shipped
q carload to commission house in
the east. After paying freight, and
all expenses at the other end Mr..
Peck received 81 cents net per buslel
for his grain. The commission firm
to whom he shipped wrote Mr.. Peek
that his wheat was the best received
in Minneapolis so far. The local
price at the time of shipment was a
cents. The grain was not cleaned be-
fore shipped, and there was no dock
age at the other end. If the grain
had been sold in Montana it would
possibly have been locked, given a
lower grade than it deserved. and the
weight would unquestionably have
been less.
