Baseball Enthusiasts.
Every town has it's ball team and
those without bands are training
daily, so that they will not be outdone
in this particular The trade extern
sonsts were surprised at the fine
athletic parks. in these towns. If tNe
branch towns have any hobby that is
exalted above another, it is baseball.
Every man, woman and child is a fan
and they keep on roofing for the
home team until Father Time calls
them to their reward.
1t is to be hoped that Bismarck will
be able to entertain every ball team
on this branch. Games should be ar
ranged as soon as possible, for the
Kildeer branch towns know the game
and play it with a pep" that has
won fame for more than one team.

Pacific assisted greatly in making thu

car, presided over by E. A. Nelson,
assistant passenger agent; William
A. Cleland, division freight agent,
William T. Kraft, travelling freight

everything to make the trip a success
and the service they furnished was
above criticism. *Es af
