management, capable of considerable
development. We are not blaming the
honorary agent, Mr.. H. C. Kuchen-
becker, but the 500 and Western Ex-
press should be able to proffer sal
airy in return for services rendered.
The railroad commissioners will prob
ably be appealed to. d;
Joe Murphy, Jesse Giles and Jim
Egan were visitors to the "town that
was" east of Logan last Tuesday. The
Rogers Lumber Co., emulating the ef
forts of Ralph Gard, are trying hard
to resurrect Sawyer on the 500.
Jesse Giles, of Cozy Cafe fame, put
up many tons of the finest ice this
winter. "There's reason" During
the sultry months, this spring and this
fall, Loganites will be able to enjoy
real ice cream, manufactured locally.
Jesse is installing modern plant and
cleanliness, as all know, is the Cozy
Cafes watchword in all things.
Logan has long been famous as the
centre of North Dakota's growing
poultry industry, and it is beyond
question that this locality affords the
finest examples of the feathered mort
gage movers. A spirit of rivalry with
our neighbors naturally exists, but we
are not willing to believe that either
| Burlington or Sawyer were in any way
RESPONSIBLE for daring attack on the
flock owned by Dave Forbes. Last
Tuesday week, the night was dark,
and the trusty watch dogs did persist
to bark. About midnight the good
folks were alarmed, and investigated
the cause of the CANNES agitation.
Naught appeared to justify the vicious
attitude Of the animals, but the river
seemed to hide the cause of offense.
Thinking perchance some prowling
mink had disturbed the tranquility OF
the usually placid farm yard, no fur
Their search was made. But the wrath
of the dogs was not appeased and lat
err, on examining the river by the dim
| light of lantern. the periscope OF a
retreating submarine was discernable.
In the morning two of the finest roost-
ers had been annexed and in their
place dwarfed specimen of a Leg
horn and a Plymouth Rock has been
left. Joe Brand denies the rumor that
his sauer kraut cave has been robbed
and the invasion of Canada via the
murmuring Mouse has, we presume,
owing to a rigorous censorship, not
been admitted.
Monday night the crossing gate OF
the Saugstad farm was splintered! to
kindling size. How this happened is
another local mystery.
Mr.. Emil Bereson, who has spent
the winter in Jenkins Co., South Dako-
ia, is the guest of Mrs. Ole Saugstad
and family. He is enroute to Williams
county, where he has large farming
interests.
On Tuesday evening many of the
younger generation assembled at the
home of Miss Alice Egan, the occasion
being the celebration of the birthday
of this popular young miss. An enjoy
able evening.
Jack Whitson has quite a force OF
men busy getting ready for spring
work. His farmyard is an example
for his neighbors.
We understand that Harry Light
has been ordered by his medical ad-
wiser to quit blacksmith work for at
least year. This affords an oppor-
tunity for an enterprising man to get
into good locality and there is every
convenience, in addition to a large ter
ritory, to induce good man to come
in.
Curtice Cross has been busy man
at the feed mill since the fine weather
arrived. ILL.,"
The Literary Society will meet on
Saturday evening, when in addition
to an interesting program, an amusing
mock trial is promised.
The absence of news this week is in
part due to the local scribe having en-
visiting with his better half. "a.
Sawyer is proud, extremely so, of
her local poet. The terrible trouncing
handed the chin pated" Logan scribe
has, a prominent Sawyerite asserts,
silenced him satisfactorily. Visiting
recently, it was suggested that if we
could not truthfully say anything real
~ nice, would we refrain from telling
