The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1917-05-24

Base ball talk continues to agitate
the fans and there is probability that
Bottlneau will yet put a team in the
neld. There is an abundance of splen-
did material for a team available, and
1T is considered too bad to permit this
wealth of talent to go to seed. While
no definite action has yet been taken,
it is likely that an organization meet
ing will be held within the next few
days.
c. D. Shaner, Great Northern oper-
ator, left last week on a three-weeks
vacation, his place being temporarily
filled by l.. R. Ekerson of Minot. Mr..
Shaner will visit his parental home
at Steamboat Rock, Iowa, and rumor
has it that some long contemplated
matrimonial plans may also be con-
summated before his return. These,
however, are mere rumors and were
not substantiated by Mr.. Shaner.
The Bottineau' Auto Garage yester-
day conducted a road test of gasoline
consumption in Maxwell cars. Two
used cars were selected for demonstra-
ton, machines owned by A. Lallum
and P. L. Klyver. A one-gallon gas
oline can was connected direct to the
carburetor with a feed pipe and wit
nesses taken along, each a carrying
four passengers. The Lallum car
travelled 3O.1 miles on the gallon,
while the Klyver machine made '26.2
miles. This is a part of a national
test made yesterday all over the
country by the Maxwell Motor Com
pany.
The committee having in charge
the work of financing the proposed
road to Lake Metigoshe has been busy
on the job for the past week and re-
ports encouraging progress. Roland
township has signifed it's willingness
to give $500 towards the project, the
city of Bottineau has pledged one
third of the $4,000 required and the
county board is understood to stand
ready to appropriate a similar amount.
Whitteron township has not taken any
action as yet, but it is expected that
this township will also be ready to do
"its bit" which will practically assure
the road. 1t is proposed to push the
movement as rapidly as possible so as
to have the road completed and ready
for travel by July 1st.
One of those appalling happenings
that stagger a community was dis
closed Monday afternoon when it was
learned that Sheriff Haugan had lost
even head of horses by poison at the
loon meal and another later in the
evening, making a total of eight head.
The hired man was blowing and pre-
narinp tho land on the Kaefe arm and
fed ground feed where, it is presumed
children had been playing Sunday
and where it was found a can of pre-
pared poison had been left on the
tanning mill and which was, presum-
ably, spilled over the oats and fed to
the horses on Monday noon, and when
the men returned from their dinner
they found the seven dead. Efforts
were made later in the day to re-
lieve the last one but without avail.
Another costly lesson from the care
less handling of poison.-Mohall Tri-
bune.

During the present holiday period
a big drive will be made in Rock Is
land to dispose of 100000 Red Cross
seals. the money from which will be
directed to the Red Cross tuhercular
fund. Rock Islands quota this year
of 100000 will contribute $4,000 cash
to this good work.
At a meeting of the executive COM
mittee, which has the matter In charge,
| held last evening at the Rock Island
club, steps were taken to have all the
| social and fraternal organizations in
| the city, together with the Boy Scouts
and the high school organizations,
participate in behalf of the sale of this
huge stamp quota.
Elwood NJ Grim of the Daniel Hayes
company, has been appointed as sec
rotary in charge and will direct the
campaign. Mr.. Grim has announced
that a big Red Cross seal booth will
be established in the Office of the Dam
lei Hayes company and that the cam
paign will be directed from this point.
Mr. Grim calls the attention Of the
public to the desirability for the pro-
fuse use of Red Cross seals this year.
Mr.. Grim today said 1T is not the
intention of those directing the affair
to have people buy stamps and not
use them. We want the people to use
them at every possible opportunity.
Make it a point to cover every pack
age with Red Cross stamps. Purchas-
ers of Red Cross stamps should know
that all the money derived from the
: sale will be used in fighting tubercu-
: losis in Illinois. Specifically it is d.
rected to maintain colonies for tuber-
