FIRST LOAD Of WOOL

Early in the week the first load Of
wool Of the season was hauled to
Dickinson by Stanislaus Godlevski Of
Libby Butte and sold to ]. c. F. Park
er at 237zc per pound. This load con-
tanned five saeksy and reminded many
Of our people of the good old days
when it was not; an uncommon thing
to see ten or fifteen large wool teams
lining up to unload at the big ware
house, which stood about where the
passenger depot is now located. Mr..
Parker used to be a grower Of wool
himself, and when he saw this little
load on the streets he could not keep
his hands off IL.

DICKINSON HOLDS

FASTEST colo ORED

Pitched Great Game. Dunn Cent
er Lost to Dickinson, While
Beach Won 6 to /.

The best ball game ever witnessed
on the Dickinson diamond was played
Thursday afternoon between the loc-
ais and the All Nations. Eleven in
nings were played without a score on
either side and as per agreement the
game ended. Gardner allowed but
3 hits and Donaldson, the colored
pitcher, the same. Our side had 1
error and the visitors none.
After the 7th inning it was very
evident that the All Nations were
trying hard to hit but they were un-
able to connect. Both sides had men
on bases and in the last Of the 18th
it looked for few minutes as though
Dickinson was going to score.
1t is said that Donaldson is the best
colored pitcher in the world. The
speed with which he delivered balls is
wonderful, and probably if it was not
for his color he would be one Of the
highest salaried pitchers in the United
States. He holds the worlds record
for playing 80 hitless innings, so it
will be seen that Dickinson went up
against the real thing Thursday.
Our people are loud in their praise
for the fine work Of Gardner and
Wasem and for all the boys of the
team for that matter. There was
good work on bases, in the field and
all round.
This game was played to a $500
crowd. Lewie Kostelecky umpired.
The Dickinson boys played as fol-
lows: Wasem c, Gardner p, M. Pip
pin 1b, Robinson .2b, o. Pippin short
stop, R. Pippin 3b, McCutchan If,
Kronschnable c, Anmontraut rf, Bish-
op sub.
The Beach game was on for Az in
nings, the score standing 6 to l in
favor of the visiting team. Otto Pip
pin pitched for Dickinson. It rained
and the game was stopped in order
to drag and prepare the ground for
the large event.
The ball game with Mandan on the
local diamond on Sunday was inter-
esting, the score being to 1 in fav-
or of the visitors. Dorfer certainly
did good work but it was not mo
hit" game as announced by Mandan.
The players for Dickinson were:
Pippin 3b, Gardner p., L. Wasem c,
Armontraut 1b, Robinson 2b, McCut-
chan If, M. Wasem rf, Kronschnable
cf, Bishop IS.
The Mandan players were n'inni-
gan If, Rockford ss, O'Donneli c, Boyle
1b, Arthur cf, Renden rf, Parker 2b,
Tobin 3b, Dorfler p.
Blanchard and Kostelecky umpired
the game.
On Wednesday the Dickinson team
took Dunn Center into camp to the
tune OF IL to g. 1t looked like a
very close game for three or four in
nings. However, the swift twirler for
the visitors seemed to have started
in too fast as his playing later
showed. The team work Of the visi-
tors was disappointing.
Armontraut pitched for Dickinson
but otherwise the lineup was about
the same as for the Mandan game.
The following played for Dunn

After working and experimenting
with heated houses and then with
glass front houses and various other
kinds, many poultrymen and investiga-
tors came to the conclusion that they
had not yet discovered the right way
to build their poultry houses. Then
came a radical change. 1t was from
the closed warm house to the curtain
front house. These houses were con-
structed with two windows in front,
one at each end, and in the center
long opening. The bottom of this open
window was high enough from the
floor so there was no direct draft on

were no drafts. The opening was COW
cred only by light cotton curtain.
Thorough trials of this style of house
developed the fact that the fowls kept
In such buildings were more healthy
and vigorous and produced more
eggs than under other systems. So
that now the curtain-front house has
come to be generally accepted as the
most desirable poultry house to build.
The free circulation of air through the
house removes all dampness, the litter
is kept dry, and the birds scratch free
ly in it.
After several years of experiment

birds; house may be made up Of as
many or as few sections or pens as
the owner desires. A door in each
partition will make it easy to do the
work. In long houses one end section
may be left for feed room.
Three 6x6-inch stills run the length
OF the house, the center one supports
the floor timbers in the middle of the
house, while the outside ones rest on
a rough stone wall, high enough from
the ground for dogs and cats to &c

stone wall rests on the surface Of the
ground, with large openings in 1t ev
cry 20 feet to allow the circulation OF

bers dry during the summer. The
floor timbers are 2x6 inches and rest
on top Of the stills. The front studs
are eight feet, six inches high. The
two sides OF the roof are unequal il
