Held Short Session on
Monday Evening"
MIR. Hill Present

A short business session of the
Chamber of Commerce was held
at the club rooms on last Monday
evening, when Mr.. Hill, a repre-
sentative of the Bismarck Tri-
bune, was a guest of the club,
and introduced a novel booster
proposition in the way Of two
page write-up- with half-tone
illustrations of the town, which
will appear in the Bismarck Daily
Tribune at an early date.
Mr.. Hills proposition is about
the fairest and best we have ever
became acquainted with. In his
Write-up every business man of
the town is represented, and alb
solutely without any expense to
the town, individually or other
wise. The write-up simply comes
gratis and voluntarily for each

where a dozen or more subscrip-
tions have been taken.
The Chamber cheerfully en-
dorsed Mr.. Hills proposition,
and we understand he met with
splendid success in his canvas for
subscriptions. The write-up Of
Wibaux and vicinity will come
out in about ten days.
Following a short discussion
relative TO establishing a cream
cry at WibauX. upon which no
definite action was taken at this
time, the Chamber adjourned.

Expected from Dry
Regions of the East

Preparations are being made
to receive shipments of cattle
" hich are expected to arrive
soon from the drouth-stricken
regions west of the Missouri river
in South Dakota, say the stock
officials of the Puget Sound road.
Men in a position to know esti-
mate that over Is per cent Of all
stock owned in the reservatian
district west Of the Missouri river
in South Dakota will have to be
sold out Of that part Of the state,
owing to the shortness Of the
feed supply.
The recent rains in this section
Of Montata have solved the local
problems Of fall feed and water,
and the stock owners here are
planning to receive the stock
from the east, for feeding this
fall. The stock movement to the
eastern markets is expected to
start soon, but at the same time,
a counter movement bringing
stock into the eastern part Of the
state is expected to take place.

Puget Sound in Montana, huge
shipments Of grain, hay, coal and
feed are being made eastward to
the dry regions in South and
North Dakota, free Of transpor-
tation charges, for the relief of

were unable to produce the need
ed feed for the winter, and ar

cessities, of which hay forms a
large part, to the homesteaders
along their lines. AS a result of
this action, the shipments are al

Montana State Fair will be an
auction sale of thoroughbred live
stock, which will be held on three
mornings, commencing Thurs
day, Sept. 28, and it is believed

market sale.
Those interested in exchang-
ing or disposing Of blooded stock
should communicate directly with

Mont, the superintendent, send
ing him breeding Of stock offered
before Sept. 1st, as a catalog Of
entries is to be compiled on that
date.

Invention for Cutting Flax

H. E. Murphy, who operates q
farm southwest of the city, has in
vented a novel scheme for catching
the short flax when cutting with a
binder, which is very simple and
inexpensive. Take a strip of rub.
beroid roofing about 5 or 6 inches
deep and tack on each reel bat,
then lower real until the rubberoid
touches the cutter guards. The
rubberoid, being flexible, may be
set closer to guards than could the
reel bats.

Death of Ern=
est c. Seeley
Succumbs to Typhoid
Pneumonia after Six
Weeks of Suffering

LIIleSI -. Oceley, formerly OIL
LaFarge, Wisconsin, and a resi-
dent and business man of this
city for the past three years, died
of typhoid pneumonia at the Sa-
maritan hospital in Glendive on
last Saturday afternoon, at four
o'clock, after an illness of about
six weeks.
The sad news came as shock
to his many friends at Wibaux,
who had every hope for his ulti-
mate recovery, though it is evi-
dent that his serious condition
was not realized. Mr.. Seeley
was first taken i'll while boarding
at the Pickering hotel, and after
being confined to his bed for
about a week the doctors advised
that he be removed to the hos
pltal at Glendive where he could
be properly cared for. Typhoid
pneumonia developed later, to
which dread disease he finally
succumbed.
The deceased was born, and
lived for a number Of years. in
Vernon county, Wisconsin, where
his parents now reside, and came
west about three years ago,
when he formed a partnership
with T. J. Bushell, and was ac-
lively engaged in the real estate
business here up until a short
time ago. Mr.. Bushell, with
whom he was associated in a
business way, recently said: Il
always found Mr.. Seeley to be an
upright young man, who was al
ways fair in all his dealings, and
our business relations were al
ways satisfactory in every way"
He was 81 years old at the time
Of his death, and leaves, besides
his parents, a wide circle Of
friends to mourn his untimely
demise.
Mr.. Seeley, Sr., who was with
him during the greater part Of
his suffering, and Mrs. Seeley,
who arrived about a week previ-
GUS to his death, accompanied
the remains to the old home in
Wisconsin for interment, on Sun
day evening.
The Pioneer joins with the
many friends in extending our
heartfelt sympathy to his parents
and the other members of the
family during their great afflic-
ton.

HAAG'S CIRCUS.
The Only Southern Show Coming Here
Aug. Is.

The Mighty Haag Railroad Shows,
which exhibit in this city on August
25, are the only shows backed by
southern capital, owned by a southern
gentleman and managed by southern
brains.
Mr.. Ernest Haag. owner of the
show. lives in Shreveport, La, where
the winter quarters of the show are,
and the password in Shreveport is
Let Us go out to the Haag Show 5
winter quarters" Remember when
attending the Mighty Haag Shows you
are patronizing the only southern
show. Remember the day and date
August %, on Stehle's lot.
Without doubt Gulfport never has
seen such crowd of people as were
there to see the Mighty Haag Railroad
Shows. Both in the afternoon and
evening the tents were crowded with
people, and in the afternoon hundreds
could not secure tickets as the ticket
wagon was closed long before two
O'Clock. Every train during the day
brought people to see the show, and
long before time for the parade to
make its appearance on the streets,
they were crowded with people anx-
iously awaiting it and not one was dis
appointed. -Gulfport Times.

SHORT HISTORY OF THE NAVY.
Book Just Issued BY Joint Labors OF
Naval Academy Staff.

A history of the United States Navy
under naval auspices is what might |
be called the 'Short History of the |
United States Navy, just issued by
j. B. Lippincott & CO., Philadelphia
and London. It is the result Of the
joint labors of Capt. George r. Clark.
U. S. N, Prof. William o. Stevens.
Phi. D.. Instructor Carroll S. Alden,
Pm. d and Instructor Herman F.
Kraft, LII. B., of the Department of
English, Naval Academy.
This volume owes its origin to the
need of work suitable in scope and
treatment as textbook for the mid
shipmen of the Naval Academy.
Commodore Esek Hopkins, who was
dismissed after court-martial for his
conduct in battle with British war
ship near Rhode Island, we are told
here, was the only man to hold the
rank of "commander-in-chie of the
| navy"
Although Benedict Arnold's battle
on Lake Champlain ended in his COM
plete defeat by Gen. Sir Guy Carleton
in l776, it opened the way for the sur
render of Burgoyne at Saratoga the
| following year, as the delay caused
Carleton to abandon his project of
| joining Howe TO the south. In the
description of the battle between the
Shannon and the Chesapeake, in which
the latter was defeated and the i'm
mortal Lawrence was fatally wounded,
the reason is given for the terrible ex-
ecution wrought by the British ships
guns as soon as the firing began.
1t seems that although it was a
time when the British navy officers
echoed Nelson's contemptuous re-
marks on gun sights, Captain Broke,
the brave and brilliant commander of
the Shannon, had ideas of his own on
the value of gun practice, and did not
hesitate to put them into effect. He
fitted out at his own expense dispart
sights and quadants for every gun on
his ship. Behind each gun he cut out
arcs of circles on the deck, with de-
grees notched in, and filled with putty,
so that all the fire of a broadside
could be concentrated accurately upon
target. Nor were the devices kept
idle.
Twice a day, except on Saturdays
and Sundays, the watch below were
exercised at the guns, not merely in
practice with the side tackles, but in
the actual firing at a barrel floating
thee or four hundred yards away.
1t is no wonder, therefore, that the
Chesapeake was cut to pieces soon af-
ter the Shannon began firing. The
book refuses to allow any diminution
of the Britishers' credit in winning
the fight, and asserts that the crew
of the Chesapeake was not mutinous,
was not made up of landlubbers and
foreigners, and none was dead drunk
during the battle.
| There was not landsman present
at the muster roll, and only fifteen
foreigners out of crew of $40.
1.-The fact may be accepted, " says this
book. THAT it was fair fight and
fairly won." The volume contains a
portrait of George Bancroft, Secre-
tary of the Navy, who founded the
Naval Academy, and very properly
the closing picture is that of the u. S.
S. Delaware, which has made a great
record in the last few months and ex-
cited the admiration of the European
naval experts at the recent coronation
naval review at Spithead.

Across Bay In Launch.

Mrs. William Duval and her daugh-
tiers returned home a few days ago
from a visit to Rock Hall, Kent coun-
ty, where they have been spending
some weeks. The return trip was
made across the bay in a launch owned
by Mrs. Duval's uncle. The trip, a
long one in a small boat, was made
without any mishap. and was ideal, all
the party enjoying the novel exper-
fence.

ONLY A SPRINKLE.
Water, Water Everywhere, But Not A
Drop AT The Reservoir.

1t would seem that the elements
are variance with the district of the
county near the reservoir. Copious
showers fall all around and about the
county but scarcely drop at the res
ervoir. 1t is a case of Ewater, water
all around, but only sprinkle at the
reservoir.
The shower of Sunday night that
was almost a deluge in some sec
tions of the county, notably at
Round Bay and Arundel, was but a
mere sprinkle at the section near the
reservoir, and there is no material
change in the condition of the water
supply there.
While there is no material diminu-
ton in the supply, which is just hold
ing its own, water consumers are
asked to continue their cooperation
with the Water Company and are re-
quested not to waste the water.

Month Half Gone.

Today August is half gone, and
such month as it has beenl There
has been humidity, and then some
more humidity. Heavy showers that
made matters worse and did not cool
the atmosphere but for a minute
while they lasted. Bathing in the
bay, river and creeks all had to be
abandoned, save by the most fearless,
because of the torture of singing net
ties.
Fish have been scarce, crabs ditto
and vegetables high and not good at
the prices asked. Altogether, it has
been a mean, humid, hot, disagreeable
half-month, and August has to go
some to redeem itself.
