Wibdux Streets
In Good Shape

The Pioneer editor autoed to
Beach last Monday and we must
say that the main streets in that
little city are a great deal worse
than any country road that one
can find in these parts. Some
places the road takes a drop and
it one were to run through the
streets on high speed, his earthly
existence on this glowing circle
would terminate at once.
The Wibaux citizens have
much to be thankful for in the
roads Of this city and every piece
Of road has been paid for. Our
roads are smooth and have no
holes in them. The city council
is at present working out plan
to begin work on few more
streets so that next fall the
city of Wibaux will have the
best streets of any city any
where around here.
The latter part Of last week
the council from Sentinel Butte
came up to look over our streets
and also to look over the cement
walks, as they plan on doing
considerable work in that little
city the coming summer. They
were surprised to see the we'll
kept streets and also to see that
SO much cement sidewalk had
been laid in a city the size Of
this. They spoke very highly
of the work accomplished by our
city council and were surprised
to learn that everything had
been paid for and the city treas
ury still lad !. balance to it's
credit. This shows that the
city council Of Wibaux are ex-
ceedingly economical and that
all monies are spent in very
judicious manner.

O'Shaughnessy, The American
charge at Mexico City, has been
handed his passports by General
Huerta and is preparing to leave
Mexico City.
Charge O'Shauhnessy tele-
graphed the state department
under date Of Wednesday night
as follows:
Having been giving my pass
ports, | am leaving tomorrow
night or Friday morning."
The message was given out at
1920 A. M.
Washington, April, 23-Huer-
ta's handing of passports to o.
Shaughnessy was regarded as a
most sensational development in
the situation and was said to
forecast a declaration Of war on
the part of Huerta. The giving
OF passports to a minister or
charge D'Affa;res in most cases,
though not invariabsy, has pre-
ceded a declaration Of war.

They have graded y blocks the
past year and this work has been
we'll done. Then business street,
is surely fine one. They have
not one dollar of outstanding debt
and have money ia the treasury.
They have been fighting for four
years for county division and now
feel confident they have it cinched
and will win at the election on the
first day Of the coming August.
The boundary lines Of the propos-
ed county are somewhat crooked
but the territory embraced by
them comprises much of the most
productive of the section. Wibaux
has live chamber of commerce
and the people all seem to be
pulling together Miles City Dai-
ly Star.

Boise, Idaho,--There is little danger
In the bite of a rattesnake, and no
reason at all that It should result in

well, who says that he has gone
through the experience and has not
suffered seriously In this season,
when the snake is said to be blind
and to strike without warning, tho
remedy for bites which he recon-
mends and in which he has absolute
faith may be Of interest In a letter
he writes:
Il see accounts of persons being
bitten by rattlesnakes. If parties go

Long Years Ago,

New York.-Compared to Central
and South America, the West Indies
offer but poor field to archaeologists.
Nevertheless, these regions are Of
great scientific interest, II only for
the reason that the Indian Inhabitants
were the first discovered in the New
World by Columbus. 1t has been my
privilege to explore certain islands OF
the West Indies for the Heye museum
OF New York, with the purpose OF col
lecting specimens and data pertaining
to the aboriginal inhabitants, says a
correspondent OF the New York Times
My last expedition to the island Of
Haiti was the most fruitful OF all, and
returned from there last October with
large number OF specimens,
Our knowledge OF the aboriginal In
habltants Of Haiti is limited to the
writings Of certain historians, notably
the works Of Fray Bartolome do las
Casas, who gives most instructive &C.
