the season and arrived Monday
with a load of grain. The boat is
a success in every way. There is
now a daily boat to all points
north. River stationery with iJi
feet of water in the channel.
A visit to the country Sunday
revealed the fact that grain is com

are already beginning to lock
green. We discovered that the
country was not suffering from the
lack of moisture, though it is get
ting rather dry. for breaking.

and the general opinion is that it
will prove more s1 ttsfact ry than
did the free ferry, as the free
privilege is said to have been
abused to a great extent to the
detriment of .those v ho had busi
ness to transact. In oder io offset
this'cliarge the Licader is of the
opinion that it would not be un
wise for our business men to adopt
some kind of a rebate scheme for a
cross the river trade, so as to make
transportation to those who come
here for tiie purpose of trading
free. For an example the plan
could be worked by allowing a 5
per cent discount and the discount
could be given in ferry tickets.
The main shaft of the Wash
burn Elevator broke and the work
of unloading the boats Tuesday
was brought to a stand still. It
was necessary to take,the shaft to
Bismarck to be repaired. The
break means quite an expense/ to
the company as the boats are com
pelled to wait until the shaft is
placed in position.

It is said that the fire that gave
Harvey such a close call last week
started over near Goodrich and
jumped the Cheyenne river. This
shows that an ordina y fire break,
such as is generally found around
in this county, would be of.iio use
in a fire of this kind, and it is
generally on a day like hst Thurs
day that the prvirie fires do the
most damage, and the greatest loss
generally is in the sprirg when
every thing is relaxed and no at
tention is paid to the fire breaks.
