Eats From a Silver
Spoon.

DENVER. Colo. July 9.-Mrs.
Whitney Newton. a well known Den
yer society matron. has a new pet
a baby pig.
Young Robert Newton brought
home the Shoat a few evenings ago.
He was much entertained by the an
tics OF the animal and all went well
until he wished 10 attend a dance. A
maid cared for it that evening until
midnight when she turned it over
10 her mistress.
Mrs. Newton took the shoat into
her arms and tried to make it COM
Portable. but without success. FL
nally she got a fine piece Of hem
stitched linen, embroidered with blue
flowers, wrapped IL gently about the
pig, then laid him cautiously upon
the downy pillow beside her own.
Piggy gave a satisfied little squeak,
doubled up his feet and went off to
sleep happy. The cunning act won
Mrs. Newton's heart. His white skin
is washed and combed and perfumed
and he sleeps in a dOwny bed every
night besides his mistress. He also
eats from a silver spoon.

N. P. Files,
Plat of Road
Gives Names Of Location of
Towns on North Branch West
of Stanton.

The Northern Pacific Railway
Company has filed IAN official plat
with the North Dakota Railroad
Commissioners giving the names
and location of the new towns on
the north branch they are putting
in this summer. The branch runs
out from Stanton through one of
the richest wheat raising districts
in Mercer county and it will no
doubt soon be one Of the busy
sections of the road.
The first town west of Stanton
is Hazen, located on the SEA of
Sec. l8, Twp. IA, Range IS.
This is near the present town of
Hazen which is one of the oldest
towns in Mercer county. The
next town is Beulah on the SWN
of Sec. Is, Twp. IA, Range 88.
Beulah is near the present site of
Bowdish. The next town is a new
one near Abraham Fischer's place
and is called Zap. It's location is
as follows: SWA of Sec. IA,
Twp. IA, Range 80. The last
town on the line is near what is
now Golden Valley and is named
|lDlanta. 1t is near David Juzelar' 8
|Arm. The exact location of
Olanta is on the SWI4 of Sec. IS,
Twp. l44, Range 90.
All of the towns anticipate a
rapid growth as soon as they have
the service of the new branch
road. There is no doubt but he
territories through which the new
road will pass will now make very
marked and rapid progress.
Grading on the new road bed
was begun quite early this spring
and Is now being rushed with
about thirty grading outfits at
work on it. The work of grad
ing will be completed within q
short time.

mail service was found to be most
urgent where through mistaken
ideas Of economy the clerical
force had been so reduced as to
effect efficient service and car
space cut down to a danger point.
With the advent of the parcel post
system on Jan. l. which increased
tremendously the volume of bust
ness handled additional clerks
and increased car space were most
imperative. But nothing was
done to relieve this, it being left
to the new administration to re-
store the efficiency of this impor-
tant branch Of the service. Nine
hundred and ten additional clerks
have been added to the service
since March 4. and increased car
space costing $267,00O a year has
been provided. Already a mark
ed Improvement is noted in this
service.
The parcel post regulations
have been modified so as to per-
init the delivery to the addresses,
without additional charge of mat
ter reaching the office Of address
with improper stamps affixed.
BY an arrangement made with
the Canadian postal service the
rates of postage on Sunday edi-
tions of daily newspapers mailed
to subscribers in Canada, who also
are subscribers to the weekday
editions, has been fixed at one
cent pound or fraction thereof
instead of at one cent for four
ounces or fraction as formerly"
In conclusion the statement
says:
1t is postmaster General Burl-
esons desire and earnest endea-
vor to establish, in the interest of
economy and. efficiency, uniform
methods and practices through
out the entire service and to dir
ect postmasters to. the best way
of administering the postal facil-
tiles. To this end he proposed to
keep in touch with their opera
tions, and thus bring the service
to the highest possible degree Of
efficiency" !. :

ing.

John Wilkins and his son, Dick
Wilkins, were both quite severely
injured on Monday afternoon. at.
their home near Hanover. by q
premature explosion of gun pow
der with which they were blasting,

The men had been removing
rocks by drilling holes in them.
pouring in gunpowder and pack
ing it by means Of an iron bar,
then igniting the powder with a.
fuse which allowed them plenty.
of time to get away before the ex-'
plosion occurred and the rock was
lifted and broken to pieces.
When the accident occurred
the young man was packing the:
powder into the hole in the rock
with the iron bar. In his efforts
to pack the powder we'll he struck
the edge of the rock with the iron
bar. The blow struck spark
from the stone which fell into the
powder and ignited it. The ex-~
plosion followed Immediately.
The bar was torn from the
boy hands and hurled high into,
the air. The rock which re-,
ceived the main force of the ex-,
plosion, was shattered and loos-
ened from the earth.
Both of the men were injured.
The boy who was working at the.
rock was badly cut and bruised
by the sharp pieces from the.
sp}intered rock.which- struck him
with driving force. His face was
badl ~ scorched. and his eyes Sc
verely powder burned. His
wounds are painful and his eyes
will be in serious condition for
sometime. His father, who was
sitting on the ground. some dis

pieces from the broken rock and
received severe br,,i.e. The
blow was forceful one and might
easily have proved fatal.

Wibaux County
Still an Issue
Matter Will Be Taken Up After
Assessment Is Taken and Put
To Vote of People in Territory.

That the sentiment in favor Of
the proposed new county of Wi
baux is by no means dead, nor
even on the wane, but that cit
liens in the extreme eastern por-
tion of Montana are more than
ever determined upon submitting
the proposition to a vote of the
electors, is a report received from
that section where it is understood
that arrangements for again start
ng campaign to the end that the
new division of the state shall be
formed, are being made.
According. to a statement Of
..one of the prominent citizens Of
Wibaux, the movers in the new
county proposition are merely rest.
ing on their oars. SO to speak, and
waiting the time when the work
of the assessor is completed. They
are confident that his figures will
show a material increase in the
taxable wealth of the town of Wi
baux and Of the country suiroudd.

certain that the aggregate within
the prospective limits Of the pro.
posed county VII be amply suAi.
cient to meet the requirements oi
the statutes and when this matte,
is finally determined they will

ton law which entails the circula.
ton of petitions and the submis.
sion of the question to a vote oi
the people in case special elec.

There is no doubt in the minds
~of those who claim to be informed
on the subject that the PROPOSE.
ton will be carried by an immense
majority, their ideas being tina,
fully 90 per cent Of the persons
residing in the territory which
would be in the new county, are
,efavorably inclined.
Under the proyisionstof the law
the boundaries cannot approach
closer than l8 miles of Glendive
and, naturally this phase of the
matter will be adhered to. Unde,
the measure by which an attempt
was made last winter to create the
county, the boundary approached

of including sufficient Of the Nor

game was exciting and interesting
all the way through.
Adams and. Williston were the
battery for Sidney. while Pire and
Fuller were for the home team.
The game started out in whirl-
wind fashion, Beach scoring 6
runs in the first inning, while they
managed to hold Sidney scoreless
for the first three innings. but in
the closing rounds. Pire managed
to get wild, and coupled with a
few timely hits. Sidney prolonged
a few scores over the pan. and
made the game somewhat more
exciting.
The features Of the game was
the heavy hitting of the entire
Beach team, who got hits at al
most any stage Of the game. Fuller
being the individual hitting star
of the day, getting two home runs
with three men on bases each time.
Each and every man did
good work despite the kind of a
