The people, of Alberta have GER
tainly answered the national call in
the way Of extensive gardening.
Nearly every foot of soil within the
village limits is being cultivated and
planted to various garden stuffs. The
bankers, postmaster and men of all
professions have devoted a certain
part of their time to this class of
work and with ideal weather condi-
tiOns as now exist they will no doubt
reap the benefits of their work.
The Norris to Browns Valley Daily
Stage auto seems to be enjoying a
very nice business and the travelling
men seem to very be much more sat
isfied now than heretofore. But
they must take into consideration
this is ideal weather with good roads
the entire distance which is very un-
usual. There will be many times
when they will have to resort to
the old way freight and ride the rails
when travelling by auto would be an
entire impOssibility.
The committee in charge of the
supposed telephone exchange to be
installed at Alberta met with the
officials Of the Germania sos and
sos farm lines last Monday evening"
The object of the meeting was to
find out what the conductors of the
farmer lines thought about making
a cut off few miles from Alberta
and using the Alberta exchange in
stead of Norris on account of too
many subscribers on lines overload
ed as they now are. A very good
meeting was held with the result
that another meeting of all the
stockholders of the sos and sos lines
will be held in Braun's hall, May 20,
to have a fna discussion on the
above named proposition.
A fire bug has again begun operat-
ing in the village of Alberta. Last
Monday night some unknown person
saturated an old sack with kerosene
and threw it after setting it on fire
against the door of the ceIlar-way
of the Andert confectionery base
ment. Fortunately the william closed
the top hatch door of the cellar way,
thereby shutting out the air to such
an extent that the sack and kero-
sene burned slowly and only burned
part of the cellar basement door
away and extinguished by itself for
want Of air. The Andert cOnfection-
cry was incidently set on fire once
before last September Also the
Farmers elevator in Alberta was set
on fire by some unknown cause AS
a matter of protection and in hopes
of rounding up the guilty party, the
business men of Alberta have offered
a reward of five hundred dollars for
any clue leading to the apprehen-
sion and arrest of the person or per
sons setting fire to the Andert con-
fectiOnery Monday night.
