show that in over loo votes county

The dividing line was to start at the
Butte Meade county line, run east six
miles and then south to a point on
the Belle Fourche river east of Here
ford and then follow the river, thus
dividing the present county into two
nearly equal parts. Red Owl, in the
exact center of the new section, was

CAVALRY HORSES

The shipping of 1900 head of cav
airy horses to the French government
from Western North Dakota and

quite a little newspaper comment.
The horses were inspected and loaded
1T Miles City and went east over the
Northern Pacific. About five car
loads were purchased in this locality
through Ed. Partridge and Messrs.
Hunt and Currier, at prices ranging
from $100 to $125 per head. These
horses were loaded into cars at Dick
inson and shipped to Miles City
where the general inspection was
made. .. s@& &ai
The next inspection for the French
will be made at st. Paul on December
18th. Mr.. Partridge may decide to
take few carloads down for the

SEND CHRISTMAS GIFTS EARLY

A letter was recently received by
Postmaster Lish from the department
urging him to do all in his power to
have his patrons send their Christ
mas packages early SO as to avoid
congestion and delay in the, rush that
comes right at Christmas time. The
mailing of packages with the words,
"Do Not Open Till Christmas" or
some such motto, is very good, and
it insures the receiving of gifts at
the proper time. The timeliness of
the gift is the main thing ii, the send
ing and this can only be made certain
by sending early. . n@. =.
Those who send gifts each year to
relatives and friends might arrange
their plans now 30 that they could
have all packages out of the way at
least a week - before Christmas.
Thousands Of eleventh hour packages
are unavoidable, but there are thous-
ands that can be sent week or two
earlier just as wen as not. These
last hour packages pile up the work
and make it impossible to give the
usual prompt attahtion desired. So
not only 90 your shopping early but

Matters in regard to holding a
poultry show in January were taken
up and discussed. 1t is hoped that
dates may be arranged about the mid
die Of the month, but this will be gov
erned by the open dates Of licensed
judges. The success of the poultry
show at the Stark county fair held
here the latter part of September has
caused the poultry men to attempt
a larger and better show. Much en-
thusiasm has been aroused and much
good will come from the coming show.
All the exhibitors, who won ribbons
at the fall show, have sold out their
entire stock and many are still re-
ceiving orders. Many poultry raisers
up and down the line have already
signified their intention of making
several entries. The outlook at pres
ent is exceedingly favorable for a
