in Pollock last Friday. Pollock is
surely some hog market.

Of baby girl born last Friday.
Roy Bales has been buying cattle
in the vicinity of Artas and Eureka
this week and succeeded in picking
up some 80 head which he had sold
to j. A. Stiles. of Ft. Yates.
The season is late and our far
mers are improving every shining
hour trying to get the seeding done,
hence the town is rather quiet these
days.
A big baby boy was born to Mr..
and Mrs. Dick TIMBER, of Dale. last
Monday. We are pleased to say
that mother and baby are getting
along fine, and the neighbors think
Dick will be able to resume work in
a few days.
The baseball boys held a meeting
last night and elected Oscar Adams
manager. They are soliciting sup
port from the business men today
and are meeting with fine success,
so there is no doubt but Pollock will
be on the map this year larger than
ever.

Fargo. April Is. James Holes. of
North Broadway, probably Fargo's
oldest pioneer. said: I'VE are still
moving away from the glacial peri

lin North Dakota is still changing SO
that each year the suns heat is a
little more powerful. therefore the
winter season is growing shorter
and spring arrived earlier than its
wont in the pioneer days." There
lis considerable logic in Mr.. Holes
contention. as is shown by an in
stance that he related during an in
terview. He stated that just twen-
ty-five years ago he drove across the
Red River on the ice.. He and his
man had some trouble in getting
back to the west side later in the
day, however, as the water was run
ming over the ice and they hesitated
about making the attempt to re-
cross.
