that Shiftawrinkle, the Empire build
er, left Logan to bury ambition in such
sorry spot.
Logan is making great preparations
for swell dance on Easter Monday
and from what we can learn the music
on this occasion will be something out
of the ordinary. The floor in the new
hall is not only spacious; it's perfect.
Cards of Logan represents mer-
chandise. Spring is here and with its
advent, much that is new. The genial
Curt, for short, has removed the bris-
tie which interrupted the perennial
smile which plays about those dainty
lips, donned his summer uniform and
is ready at any hour to dance attend
ance. And he's got the goods.
Across the street we find Hans Ross
and his good helpmeet, with a new
stock of groceries, and we venture to
predict that success awaits the enter
prise of these young people:
Burlington bewails occasionally the
Indifference Of Logan to their sorrows,
but now that Spring approacheth, we
fondly hope the inhabitants will
emerge from a weary winter, with Vi
tality sufficient to make known their
existence. The installation Of the cleo
trio light was the outcome Of corpor-
atoms enterprise, and there would ap-
pear to US to be fine field for spec
ialist in electric batteries to fit the hip
pocket, Burlingtonways. -.
The school directors met on Tuesday
when business of Importance received
attention. Mr.. Geo. Bridges was re-
appointed principal, and it is hoped
that Miss Reishus will again accept
the primary room. The board recent
Nv acquired additional lots which are
to be planted to trees this Spring.
Mrs. Jesse Giles was also among
those who took in the big doings at
Sawyer on Wednesday. Our neighbors
must have enjoyed gala day.
Will Humphrey left on Monday for
Opheim, Montana, where he will en-
gage in the real estate business. Mrs.
Humphrey and family will remain in
our district till the school term ex-
pires.
Elmer Dickey, a popular Sawyerite,
is a connisseur of precious stones,
more especially diamonds. He has a
weakness, almost feminine, for the
gem that sparkles and recently acquir-
ed specimen which has since become
the talk of two towns. Elmer, natur-
ally modest, hates the notoriety the
transaction aroused. We wonder who
the lady was to have been, and just
what she thinks. This romance will be
continued in our next.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Gard of Sawyer
were visitors to the Windy City on
Tuesday, returning on the Bismarck
train Wednesday. To keep Sawyer
from becoming altogether overcome
by sleep, Mrs. Ross, bright and viva
cious, paid visit.
Logan is to have a depot agent, the
railroad commissioners in recent ses-
sion decided. The actual date of ap-
pointment may be but six weeks hence.
New brooms sweep clean. Bolden
Bros. arrived in our town, looked the
situation over, shifted Spring in the
air, and then decided cleanup time
had come So Dad, of the Metropole
Hotel, came to set to Logan a good
example by the removal, with the boys
assistance, of the top layer.
