member of the family, and they

flames. Nothing was covered by
insurance.

The editor noted with pleasure
while on his way to Wisconsin
last week that the crop conditions
in Golden Valley are looking bet
ter than anything he saw along
the line. In the eastern part of
this state, seeding is just com
menced and nothing is growing
last week the country from Steel
to Fargo was Govercd with about
five inches of snow. The spring
in Minnesota and northern Wis
consin is very backward the latest
ever known. Taking in consider
ation the conditions surrounding
us. we Golden Valley people can
rejoice. Our wheat is four inches
high and not any time during the
past eight weeks have we been
unable to be on our fields and put
in the crops. The good weather
man has given us two good warm
rains during the past two weeks
and the soil is in excellent condi
tion. Ye scribe thinks there is
no better country than this.
QUALITY STORE.
^Quality has ever been our aim- Nothing so surely and so strongly builds
up a business as merit The farmer or mechanic who buys our goods is on
the "quality" side of the argument. He believes as we do, that it pays to
sell products that will produce pleased and permanent customers. Don't
ffrrget this fact that yxm will keep in mind "quality" long after price is
forgotten,
^"Our motto is: Good goods consistant with reasonable price yTonr money
refunded if you are not satisfied. In our store can be found a complete
stock of General Merchandise. Call in and let us show you arrouncL
^lf you are in need of a spring suit let us take your measure and fit yon
with the best the worlds tailors can furnish- We believe we represent
the best clothing tailors in the world and those who have bought off ais say
ttaat our prices are as low as those who are handling inferior goods.
^In conclusion we wish to state that we have just unloaded a car of the
Gladstone Pearless Flour. It gives the best of satisfaction and we cam
sell it a little cheaper than our competitors can sell the Minnesota fflour
•oar customers highly recommend it and we believe we are selling more
all the other merchants in the county.

BEACH 18, WIBAUX 3
The Above Was the Result of a
Batting Bee in Which the
Golden Valley Boys Were
the Principle Actors.
The Golden Valley is getting to lie a
famous spot on this old earth and is be
coming more noted every day, not only on
account of
40-bushel-to-the-acre
wheat,
but also for the fact that it can uphold its
own when it comes to playing the great
national game of baseball—the game of
all games—the game of the American
people.
I.ast Sunday aft- »noon the first game of
the season here was pulled oft when the
Beach and Wibaux aggregations of horse
hide jugglers locked horns on the home
diamond. The result was never in doubt
at any stage of the game and after nine
long innings of play the "Wee Bo" team
from over on the mighty Beaver in Mon
tana was sent home, badly beaten and
outclassed by the Golden Valley sluggers,
who have formed an alliance with the
real estate men to help make our valley
and town famous.
At this time a year the average Ameri
can is baseball crazy the only way you
can get his attention is through baseball
so our loys have struck the right idea to
advertise the Golden Valley. They have
also struck the right gait and are going to
keep it up and you will hear of more of
their doings later.
Sunday was an ideal day for *a ball
game and a goodly number of loyal fans
from both towns were on hand to see the
first baseball "set to" of the year. Al
though the game was not up to the standard
and many errors were made on both sides,
the game showed that both teams Jiave
good material, especially the home aggre
gation, and a little later on when the boys
get more practice and improve on their
team work, the Golden Valley fans will
see some of the real article. Everything
we have at Beach is the best and the ball
team will be no exception.
The visiting team drove down ami the
game was called by Umpire Davis at
about three o'clock with the visitors at
bat. "Sea Fredrick" Smith, alias "Farmer"
Smith, was the slab artist for the Beachites
and "N. P." Green acted as reciever, and
they did a land office business in retiring
the "Wee Bo(ys)" In the eighth
inning Smith was called oil the
field for being too effective and for not
allowing the visitors any batting practice,
and "TuckHJirtttiJ- ., better known as "The
Boy Wonder" was sent in lo show his
ability to make a ball duck and dodge
over the pan and avoid the swinging of
the visitors bats. He did nicely and came
out of the two innings with only one hit
against him. Charlie Borth did good work
at first, and altogether no complaint can
be made against any member on the team.
The main features of the game was the
batting of the home team, every man tak
ing several good sized wallops at the
sphere, and the daring steal of third by
"Hackenschmidt" -Madison which was
enough to put any team "in the air".
John Bowler, a brother of the "Boy
Wonder" who played with the visitors,
had the misfortune to get hit on the head
with a thrown ball and was knocked sense
less for several minutes, but when he
came to he showed that he was no "quitter"
and played the balance of the game out in
his position in left field. The visiting boys
are a bunch of jolly good fellows and tool
their defeat like gentlemen and We hope
that they will come to our city many times
during the season and will be prepared to
give us a good rub when they come again.
Next Sunday the Beach team well go to
Wibaux and play a return game. The fans
should all go u]1 as they will not let us
have a walkaway like we had in the first
game and the contest will be a fight from
start to finish. Don't fail to see it. The
boys will expect you to be there. On June
14th a baseball dance will be given in the
Opera house for the benefit of the home
team. An invitation is extended to all
lovers of the light fantastic in our neigh
boring towns.
