ton hereabouts and what cannot be
utilized in that way will be shipped
to creameries by this firm. We ex.
pect to announce soon the active man:
ufacture of ice cream that's as good
as the best.
Taken in connection with the cream
buying station and ice cream factory
we are also proud of one new working
mine and another in process of devel-
opment within the village limits
These are all substantial industries
but we are anxious for more. There
is good opening here for a first class
harness maker, one who can do shoe
repairing preferred.
Our life's dream has been to see
some one with practical knowledge of
the business establish a greenhouse
here. There isn't better location on
earth and the fuel cost would be prac-
tically nil as the adjacent mines make
no use of their slack coal and with a
boiler properly equipped this could
pense.
Don't all speak at once but come
and investigate. The idea isn't all
blue sky.
Local fans, players and baseball en-
thusiasts of Burlington and vicinity
met Monday evening and effected an
organization that promises to put a
team in the field this season that will
eclipse anything of the kind that ever
represented Burlington on the dia-
mond, and that's going some, as all
teams that ever contested the honors
with Burlington ball teams can amply
testify.
The officers of the club for the COM
ing season will be: George Tiller
; manager; Will Dodds, Secretary and
Treasurer; C. L. Smith and E. A.
Madsen, finance committee. The
grounds will be put in first class shape
the fences repaired and the grand
stand torn down and rebuilt much
larger.
A substantial sum was subscribed
and everything is moving along in a
harmonious and businesslike manner
The Base Ball boys will give dance
May Is at the opera house for the pur-
pose of raising an additional fund to
be placed in their treasury to supply
uniforms, etc. .-9.
Each lady is requested to bring
along basket or box of lunch to be
disposed of by auction to help swell
the funds of the ball club.
The boys have secured first class
music and will take especial pains to
see that everyone enjoys splendid
time.
Everyone having the welfare OF
|baseball and the promotion of clear
sport at heart is earnestly requested
to turn out and make this, the open
ing of the ball season, grand sue
cess.
There will be a game on the loca
grounds in the afternoon to be follow
ed by a dance and supper in the even
ing.
May 18th is base ball day in Bur
lington. Let everybody turn out.
/ A movement is on foot to celebrate
the Fourth of July at Burlington this
year. It isn't often that our village
essays the promotion of project Of
such vast Importance but this is the
time, the place and the Fourth wher
Burlington will celebrate so we'll thai

Business Quiet With the Railroads.

There seems to be little doing with
the railroads of the state. Very little
construction work will be done this
year and the improvements consist Of
patching up the road here and there.
Three work trains are engaged in the
vicinity of White Earth and several
have been working along the Minot-
Fargo cutoff, but these are now in the
vicinity of Fargo. Quite large num-
ber of railroad men have either been
laid off or have been set back. The
passenger business is very brisk, but
the freight hauls have fallen off to
a large extent.

Experienced farmers tell us that
those who sow wheat after May 10 are
taking chances. Many will put in q
less wheat acreage and more barley,
millet, corn, etc. One of our subscrib-
ers stated, however, that his best
wheat last year was sown June 1.
