The United Picnic

1t was held as scheduled, Friday
last. The weather was pe.tcct,
barring a bit OF early morning
dampness. This was all out OF the
way before 10 O'Clock when the
first automobile loaded at the
church.
The grounds, Olson's Grove two
miles west of town, was ideal and
many patrons expressed surprise
and pleasure at finding such a
beautiful spot. Great trees III
abundance and fine open grass for
all sorts Of picnic fun.
There were about one hundred
in attendance, including many
business men who went down for
the midday lunch. Games usual
on such occasions were provided
and literally patronized. At noon
the cloths were laid and baskets
filled with appetizing dalnties and
the necessary substantials for an
OlJ vi uOOl ItuNb HClC pun LlIpp
upon the long tables and next into
capacious stomachs. Everybody
voted it a splendid dinner and the
tub Of rich lemonade and the sew
eral gallons Of Ice cream helped to
the after dinner compliments.
The boys of the Sunday school
and their friends made up two
base ball mines and put up a great
game during the afternoon. Mayor
Smith and Mr.. Rowlee dispensed
Justice as between the rival claim
ants and a ten inning game was
necessary before a winning could
be scored.
Many thanks are due the bust
ness men who contributed the Use
Of their automobiles for the day.
The service was the finest ever.
Probably double the number would
have attended the picnic had they
realized that there would be such
generous and comfortable accom-
modatiOns for getting back and
forth.

There is some talk of launching an
other newspaper in Mobridge. If the
people who are talking about it are sin
cere in what they state and are not
stringing us, we will grant them full and
complete access to Il records for as long
a time as they desire, so they can be
come familiar with the cost of getting
out a paper and the small revenue there
Is III it for the amount of work and
thought expended. Three papers III Mo-
bridge seems ridiculous to us who have
been III the job for nearly two years and
are bending every effort to consolidate
the two now in the field. There is only
a decent living for one good paper i'll

means keener factional feeling. What
we need right now is less factional feel
ing and greater corporation if We ever
expect TO have a greater Mobridge. As
stated III our Introductory editorial. the
News is non-factional, non-partisan, and
is published for the purpose of making a
living for the editor and his little family
and to make a greater and better Mo
bridge. If another paper is launched, all
right; the above are our %colors.

Eminent JuriSt Here

The Palladium, Bismarck, n. u.
Judge Clay Carpenter Of Mo
bridge, S. D., is in the city today,
a guest at the Mckenzie. Judge
Carpenter has been retained as spe
cial prosecutor in the cases against
Jack Guyer, G. f. Mccullough and
Sam McGregor, who ere recently
arrested by the authorities of Nor
ton county Oh the charge of cattle
rustling. These cases were called
for trial at the regular May term
of district court at Mandan, but
the defendants filed af1idavits of
prejudice against the presiding
Judge and also asked for a change
Of venue. and the cases were trans
ferred to Burleigh county, and will
probably come on for trial at the
September term Of court. Judge
Carpenter expressed himself as be-
ing very favorably impressed with
the capital city of North Dakota,
and is particularly warm in his
praise OF the Mckenzie hotel
which he ch~aracterizes as one of
the best he ever stopped at, and
away above anything he ever saw
in a city the size of Bismarck
The Judge is an old-time friend OF
| the editor Of the Palladium, and
we have greatly enjoyed his pres
ence in our midst" Judge Car
penter is an eminent jurist and a
splendid gentleman, and is very
popular with the people Of our sis
ter state. He recently resigned
from the circuit bench in order to
again actively engage in the prac.
tice of law, and is rapidly building
up one of the largest and most lu-
crative practices of any attorney in
South Dakota.

NAMES MOST POWERFUL
MOTOR BOAT TO Be LAUNCHED

The Nimrod H., one of the largest
and most powerful power boats owned
on the Maine coast which has been
built by her owner, Capt. Edwin NJ.
Piper, and William II. Vinton, the boat
builder, the past Winter, will be
launched May 9.
The boat which is patterned after
the Golden Rod, also owned by Capt.
Piper, is practically completed. There
are few finishing touches to be made
before she is launched. She appears
to be a powerful boat, and is As feet
long. She will be equipped with a 30
horse power. high speed Emery motor.
Capt. Piper. who is the best known
boatman in these parts and is one of
the oldest members of the York Coun-
ty Yacht Club, is of the opinion that
she will be the fastest craft in her
class on the Maine coast.
Work was commenced on the boat
Dec. /. She is planked with cedar and
boat owners declare it to be the best
job of planking they have seen for
a long time.
The finish of the boat is oak. This
has been highly polished. The ceiling
of the covering over the deck is Ore
In cold and stormy weather the bow
of the boat, as far back as the COM
panion way can be closed in nike a
cabin. When it is fair the windows
are pushed down out of the way, the
same as in vestibule cars of the Saco
division of the Portland Street Rail-
way.
Back of the companion way are can
vas curtains, which can be pulled down
in rough weather. The deck and seats
are of oak. Everything about the
power passenger craft is of the finest
workmanship, and every effort has
been made to make her seaworthy.
She will be used to convey passen-
gers between the pier at Camp Ellis
the terminal of the Old Orchard Beach
Road, and Biddeford Pool.
There are more boats on the Saco
than on any river in the State, says
the captain, who keeps tabs on boat
ing in Maine. Only a few new boats
have been built this year in the two
cities The local fleet of power boats
numbers more than 100. At the Pool
there are a number of beautiful boats,
owned by summer residents which are
speedy and finely finished.
The boat owners have been painting
their naphthas during the past few
weeks, and a number of boats of the
dory type, have been put into the wa
ter.
1t is expected that the Saco Yacht
Club will give a boating carnival this
summer, consisting of a parade in the
forenoon, and racing in the afternoon.

Boston. The company's mill on the
east side of the river has been busy
since starting up short time ago. and
while as yet no shipments have been
made by vessel they are going on
steadily by rail, and three carloads
were shipped Friday. The reason for
the rail shipments is that while the
lumber market In New York is dull
there is a good market in Boston.
