Progress. April 80
Mrs. Andrew Boschker has been
quite i'll this week and is being at
tended by DR.. Shockey.
There are murmurings heard
among the farmers that thistles are
getting the best of some of the early
sown grain.
\ big baby boy, ten pounds in
weight. was born to MIR. and Mrs.
Louis Dornbush. Wednesday after
noon, April 24th.
| Thor Sjomcling Will plant $50
acres of corn this season. This will
undoubtedly be the largest field of
corn raised i'm Campbell County this
year.
Peter Peterson. of the Dale
country. lost IA large horse recently.
He advertised for him, and found
the ailmal. which had gotten into
a water hole and drowned.
Frank Walker has succeeded m
purchasing a carload of young
horses in this vicinity and ON the
| Standing Rock reservation He will
oad them here tomorrow morning
| Iol shipment To Wisconsin.
John Bader was i'm town Monday
from his home in the Winona
country. John was disappointed in
not being able to get seed wheat
here, and announces that his visits
| to Pollock will he less frequent i'm
the future.
j. f. Slater reports that he has a
twenty-acre field of wheat, on
which he sowed but sixteen quarts
of seed to the acre, and it is the best
stand of wheat he has seen this
| spring. Another field of twelve acres,
sown March oath, is already four
inches in height.
The Campbell county board of
commissioners have again put a
bounty of one cent per head or tail
on gophers. The bounty last year
was the means of getting thousands
of these little grain-thieves extermi-
mated. and it puts little pocket
money into the hands of the boys
who are industrious. Poisoning was
/ the most effective method used last
year.
Fred Seymour, who has home
stead in Saskatchewan province.
Canada, left with his brother l.. B.
this morning for the north, after
spending the winter in this neigh
borhood. W. 7. Desmond was also a
member of the party He expects
to work at the carpenters trade in
4 Moose Jaw this summer, where the
wages are high. and return to his
home in Pollock some time early in
the fall.
There is an attempt being made
4 by Ben Morrell and others to get
the baseball players Of Pollock or
ganized into a nine to represent the
town ON the diamond this summer.
4 Many of the local players are so en-
ployed that it will be difficult to
4 play any match games except on Sun
day. 1t will be remembered that
last year great objection was raised
i by many to Sunday baseball in Pol
lock. This season nine will not
remain organized long if they are
not allowed to play on Sundays.
4 l.. b. Seymour departed this morn
| ing for Moose Jaw, Canada. He is
taking with him in an emigrant car
4 three horses, six cows and his house
| hold goods. Mrs Seymour and the
children will leave m a few days,
and the family will establish new
home in or near Moose Jaw. where
they expect to go into the dairy
j business on a small scale. Mr.. Sey-
mour will also work at the carpenter
trade. This worthy family have
long been popular in this vicinity.
1 and they leave with the best wishes
of all for their future happiness and
prosperity.
1t has been suggested as a solu-
tion Of the wet and dry con-
troversy i'm Pollock that the town
divide and the vets move their build
ings over south of The creek and
establish a rival trading point. This
| appears to be very merltorlous So
luton of the difficulty, in view of
the fact that many farmers have
signed papers or expressed their in
| tentionof not trading hereif saloons
are again established. and another
| faction say they won't trade here in
the future if the town remains dry.
| 1t is hard to suit everybody; but,
| perhaps. by following the above plan
we can come as near to it as other
| places.
| For rag-carpet weaving see Geo.
Brooks. He does good work. (tf)
