The proprietor of the Picker
ing has placed on the counter,
this week, a new register, which
is not only a very neat and novel
one, but is supplied with a page
of advertisements, printed in two
colors on a reversable leaf blot
ter, representing many of the
business houses in our thriving
little city.
Last Sunday a Christian En
deavor society was organized in
the Congregational church, and
officers appointed as fellows:
Prof. Baird, President; Mrs.
Proper, Vice-Prss.; Miss Barnes,
Sect.; Miss Scott, Treas. This
society will meet every second
Sunday evening. The first meet
ing will be held next Sunday,
which will be devoted mostly to
singing.
The Pioneer is in receipt of
a sample of native corn which
was grown on sod on Ira Parke's
farm south of town. The stalk
stands fully seven and one-half
feet high, and Mr-. Parke says
that is just an average highth of
his ten acre field. This corn was
not planted until June 22, and of
course, was not fully matured,
but he also gave us a sample of
corn which was planted about
May 20, and it is as hard as flint,
and well filled. This corn can be
County Fair is Good.
W. A. Orgain returned on Tues
day morning from Miles City
where he has been attending the
Custer county fair, and, seem to
be quite favorably impressed with
what he saw.
In an interesting conversation
with Mr. Orgain we are informed
that the fair was a great success,
and, that the business men of
that city are worthy of much
praise for their efforts in arrang
ing for this great exhibiting,
considering the short space of
time in which the work had been
done. Mr. Orgain spoke in par
ticular of the excellent agricul
tural exhibits, which were pro
duced from both dry and irrigat
ed lands. And, as a whole, the
exhibits were hard to beat.
The horse racing was also a
very interesting feature on the
program. Having recently built
what is considered one of the
best race tracks in the state,
eight good races were arranged,
with liberal purses subscribed for
each, one of which was won by
Zip Bang, owned by S. M. Wills
of this place. The following, in
part, is taken from the score card;
2:45 class trot, or pace, mile
heats, 2 in 3, purse $200. First
two heats won by Zip Bang, the
four-year old b g, owned by S.
M. Wills, time, 2:34—four entries
made. In the same race, Banjo,
the six-year old b g, owned by
D. A. Cole, of Glendive, won the
second place in first two heats.
Zip Bang was "big league,''how
ever, in the last half of the sec
ond heat, and far in the lead.
Aurora B, owned by T. W. Berry
of this place, won in 3-8 mile Tun
ing race. Time 37 1-4.
Leading a. Merry Chase.
Republican: The fellow Kirk
wood, whom we mentioned last
week as having stolen several
articles, made his "get away" af
ter having paid his fine and was
not caught on the other charges
as was expected. It is thought
that in some manner he learned
that the authorities were still af
ter him so he took a valuable
horse belonging to Mr. Shotwell,
a Milwaukee railroad contractor,
and left riding the horse bare
backed. He did not go far thus,
however but helped himself to
saddle and bridle from a ranch
en route. After he had gone
some distance farther he traded
the horse for a mule—and has
not been seen or heard of since,
although the authorities are still
for him.

J. A. Florence and E. Phillips,
of Medora, spent Sunday in town.
R. J. McArthur was in from
the ranch near Alexandria, N. D.,
for supplies on Monday.
Mike Gallagher and Bert Smith
returned to Wibaux on Tuesday
after spending two months out
on the Government ditch.
Miss Gladys Odell departed on
Wednesday evening for her home
at Gregory, S. D., after an ex
tended visit with her aunt and
uncle, Mr. and Mrs. James.
D. T. Phillips returned the first
of the week from Minneapolis,
where he accompanied his three
sons who will attend school at
that place during the winter.
W. D. Forsyth was here from
Sentinel Butte on Saturday in
search of an experienced sheep
hearder, and, we are informed,
was successful in securing one.
John Ingle sustained severe in
jury to his foot last Saturday, at
Beach, as a result of having it
run over by the front wheel of a
threshing engine. But, however,
no hones were broken, as the
deep flange in the centre of the
tire bore almost the entire weight.
Good Crop Prospects.
According to reports from dif
ferent parts of the country the
yield will average from twenty
five to thirty-five bushels of
spring wheat per acre, and in
some cases it will undoubtedly
reach fifty bushels to the acre.
The yield of winter wheat will
average between thirty-five and
forty bushels to the acre.
It is estimated that 100,000
bushels of oats will be harvested
in the Cascade country this sea
son, this being nearly twice as
much as was grown there last
year. The oat crop all over the
state is good this year, however,
and there is no doubt that the
price paid for oats will be low.
It is estimated that the Cascade
county farmers will not receive
more than from 75 to 80 cents
per hundredweight.
Colored Evidence.
A lawyer, speaking of a piece
of suspicious evidence, said:
"It is evidence that has been
tampered with, colored. It is
like the lady's report of her phy
sician's prescription.
"A lady, one day in July, vis
ited her physician. The man ex
amined her and said:
"Madam, you are only a little
run down. You need frequent
baths and plenty of fresh air, and
advise you to dress in the cool
est, most comfortable clothes
nothing stiff or formal.'
"When she got home her hus
band asked her what the physi
cian had said. The lady replied:
" 'He said I must go to the sea
shore, do plenty of automobiling,
and get new summer gowns. ' '

The Hanraford Enterprise las
week run a notice for a resident
of that place that is a new. de
parture. The man's name
Hugh J. Hughes and in a rather
long article headed " To my Cred
itors" he informs the public that
he cannot pay his debts but is
willing to give notes. He also
says that he has a job in Fargo
and is going to move there and
try to make enough to pay the
interest on the notes. He says
those holding open accounts will
do him a favor to file them at
once when he will cover them
with unsecured notes. One thing
is apparent, however, and that is
that -Hugh means .toJbe honest.
