Bridge Over
Little Missouri
Plans for an Sic, 90 Bridge to be
Built Over Little Missouri Riv-
er at Medora are now Well
Under Way.

Plans are under way for the
construction of a bridge over the
little Missouri which will be the
last link in the National Parks
Highway or Red Trail which will
afford access for autos between
Boston and New York and with
cities along the Pacific border. At
the present time the only obstacle
along the long route is the little
Missouri River. Rev. C. N. Ken
iston, who is among the propo-
nents in this city, journeyed to
Medora on Monday and observed
a raging stream, band of In
dians and their horses and a dis
heartened auto driver on the west
side of the stream waiting for the
Little Missouri to subside. He
was told that motorcycle driver
had been arrested the day pre-
v;ous for leading his machine
across the foot bridge at that
point, all of which clearly gives
evidence of the need of a bridge.
In the town of Medora more than
twelve hundred dollars was sub
scribed for the project in a days
time. This is the first fund that
has been offered as a pledge to
John Orchard, of Dickinson, the
secreary of the organization. Mar
tin Egan and T. C. Plomasen
have begun work in this section
with view to raise the necessary
fifteen hundred dollars that has
been assessed the city of Beach.
Sentinel Butte will make an effort
to raise one thousand dollars for
the fund. If the bridge is not
constructed the transcontinental
traffic will in all probability be
over the Lincoln highway through
the middle states.
The new bridge plans which
have been approved by the state
engineering department, provide
tor a bridge which will cost $18,.
600 and will consist of three 12O
foot spans supported by concrete
piers.

G:c:;S;.d Road Work
Is Being Done
LocL Automobile Club is Doing
Some Very Good Road Work
in This Vicinity.-Graders Are
Now at Work.

The Golden Valley County
Automobile club is doing some
good road work thisyearthrough-
out the county. The local club re-
Gently purchased and received six
road lrags and they have already
been distributed and are being
used upon the roads. Four of the
drags will be used on roads lead
ing to Beach and two were sent to
Sentinel Butte to be used by the
automobile club members at that
place. There were already two
drags in use in Beach township
which will now give them six and
they have been distributed and
will be used as follows:
VIM. Nix will operate one from
the State line to Steiner's farm
and AL. Arnold will have charge
from that point to the Knox hill.
Oliver Meyer will attend to the
road drag work from Steiner 8
north to Henry Feldhusen' s. ]. A.
Ross will drag north from Beach
20 Stetzer's, c. ]. Haijsman from
Beach south to the Lone Tree
township line and Conrad Fakler
will attend to the road from his
place north to Beach on the ku-
kowski road. With these draes
worked over the roads after each
rain very noticeable improve
ment will be in evidence in short
time. There is nothing better to
keep country roads in condition
than the road drag and in short
time Beach township at least will
be able to boast of good roads.
The Sentinel Butte automobile
men are also very active and the
roads leading into that city will
also be greatly improved this
year.

Railroad Con-
struction Begins
Thirteen Cars of Steel Now on
Hand.-Engineerng Party at
Work Getting Grade in Read-
iness.

That the Northern Pacific is OIL
most certain to have the new line
south in operation by October is
evidenced by the fact that an en-
gineering crew of three engineers
and their assistants are at work
in the city and close proximity
making preparation for the laying
OF steel. Engineer w. C. Ash
worth has taken charge of the
work on the grade and laying of
steel. In a very short time the
laying OF steel will begin. There
are now Is cars of steel at Senti-
mel Butte. With the advent of
the new line several new places
of business will be started in the
villages south of the city. The
new line will as we'll open up a
territory that at the present time
is sparsely settled. 1t will save
the farmers large amount of ex-
pense that in the past has been un-
avoidable in the marketing of
their grain. Aside from eleva-
tors by private concerns, the
Golden Valley Farmers Coop
erative Co. will in all likelihood
have branch elevators at the
towns of Burkey and Carlyle.
Preparations are being made at
the present time for the raising OF
funds sufficient to make possible
the construction of new grain
houses. The farmers elevator in
extent of a new feed mill and
this city will be improved to the
make use of the foul seed that is
secured at the branch houses and
at the house in this city.
Among those who make up the
engineering party are three young
men who have just finished thei1
term of preliminary engineering.
Howard Taylor. son of the
chief auditor of the Northern Pa.

his intention to start at the bot.

with more than accustomed vigor
in the hope of being able to wipe
out the defeat which was register

tingent. The visitors will come
with first class aggregation and
expect to repeat. During the
past week every player on the
club has been out regularly and a
formidable lineup will be pitted
against the Wibaux bunch when
they come. Among the new
players who will be given a trial
is Ted Hoverson. who recently
returned from the east. where he
has been attending school. He is
in good shape and will no doubt
make a good showing at third
base. In case Hoverson cuts the
mustard Tobias will be shifted to
short stop while Markus, Purvis
and Caldwell will start in the out
field. The admission which will
be charged at the first game will
be Is cents to all. A good game

Improbable Conversation.

Guard yourself from unproft-
able conversation, conversation
which wastes time, energy, thought
and speech, and brings no good
9 result to speaker or listener.
One does not want to talk always
on serious or profound subjects.
To hear serious or profound con-
versation continually would make
life so ponderous that it would
become lnsupportable to most
Of us.
Wit, humor, repartee have their
profitable part in life. The man,
or book, or play, or recreation,
which makes US taut in pure glee
gives us tonic for mind and body.
There is no system of calisthen-
les SO beneficial to health as the
habit of hearty, rib-shaking
laughter.
The laughing cure has been
advocated for all ills of mind and
body. The patient is told to stand
before the mirror and force laugh
terfor ten minutes at time. It
is declared that this process will
drive away melancholy, cure de-
preston and put to route all nerv.
Gus maladies arising from over
sensitiveness and lack Of self
confidence; and that hope, courage
and ambition will soon recognize
the dlsordered realm of the mind
and bring happy train of helpers
in their rear, including health and
success.
Therefore, any conversation or
occupation of time which causes
us to laugh at least once day is
to be commended.
It is even we'll to be frivolous at
times; to think and talk of light
and superficial matters, such as
dress and fashions, and dancing
and sports Just as nature does
not give all her energies to pro-
ducing nourishment for her crea-
lures, but takes earth space to send
forth flowers and plants which have
no practical use save their beauty, |
The city itemizer. (Water Valley, Miss.) 1894-1918, 1915-06-24

so may our minds be occupied at
times with light themes.
But there are few of us who do
not waste precious moments and
still more precious mind. stuff in
what we know, if we pause to think
of it, in unprofita BILE conversation
or worse than Improbable.
Have you not heard a whole
family of intelligent beings use Is
golden moments in a heated dis
cussion regarding the precise date
on which some unimportant event
occurred?
One said il was the tenth; an
other the ninth, or the eleventh
certainly not the tenth; third
was sure it happened an entire
week earlier or later; and so on
and so forth. And when the mat.
ter was settled. no one was a whit
benefited. 1t is ouly when one
is on the witness stand or some
vital issue is at stake that such a
sue of memory and words is Of the
least importance.
Again SO much valuable time is
lost in discussing the weather.
The weather is tonic one natu-
rally finds in the foreground in
lands where the thermometer
prides itself upon rapid climbs and
sudden descents. But even in the
tropics, where the temperature
does not vary over ten degrees in
the entire IL months, people find
the weather a me-killing topic.
In our ever-varying and never
duplicating seasons, | have heard
sensible human beings wax almost
violent, disputing whether last
year or the year before was not
warmer or colder than this year;
or whether suoh unreasonable
weather had ever before been
known; or trying to prove that the
first SHOWS fell earlier or later. some
other year than this.
Surely all this is Improbable
conversation.
1t is not instructive, interesting
or amusing.
1t does not develop the reasoning
