Lewis, associate editor of the Freemont County Herald, Sidney, Iowa, was a caller Mon- day, enroute to Ridgway. Ben Davis this week opened his new hardware store, next to The Eagle office. His goods have not all arrived yet but will be here in a few days. Read his ad elsewhere in this issue. The marriage of Ray Reese and Miss Alice Hurst occurred Wendesday afternoon, Justice E. H. Johnson tying the nuptial knot. Mr. Reese was for SOMe time office clerk for Grant & Fu- qua, but lately accepted a posi- tion with the W. H. Peck Co. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Hurst, of the Lakeside neighborhood, and is well known in this section. Both have a large number of friends who extend congratulations. While we are making sugges- tiops, let's endeavor (if it's pos- sible) to locate just where the Beaver Valley Press gets all its news. In its last issue the Press tells us Sec. 8, T. 5 N., R. 61 is 15 miles southeast of the city; also that a recruiting office has been established here; then also that we have a M. E. parsonage in this city; then again that Judge O'Hern was here Satur- day; again that we have a Ma- sonic lodge here. We notice by the Sentinel at Baker that they also claim all these. Now for a suggestion: If the Press claims Ekalaka for its home, why not tell the truth about the town. if their various reporters can't ret the straight dope, why not de- vote a little space to the publish- ing of the county official proceed- ings, according to their \just\ contract? ' Ter the love of Mike\ get busy. Bills were circulated about town last week putting a windup on a campaign to advertise the celebration at Ridgway on the Fourth, and printed thereon was a rather touchy mention of one of the principal entertainers for the day. Now in justice to Paul Muellor, the offended, we wish to state that he denies in every form as authorizing or dictating any su 11 statements as appeared. While Paul is not an American citizen today, it is only his terni of residehce in the United States that forbids him from being a full-fledged American citizen. If given the opportunity, we believe Paul would delight in kicking the \stuffin\ out of Kaiser Bill, and he shuns any attempt to put him in the limelight simply be- cause of his services years ago under Prussian rule. That there may be no misunderstanding as to Paul's patriotic spirit, lie of- fers himself to Uncle Sam in any capacity that he is wanted.

A marr!age license was issued Monday to George Calmer Dok- ken of Calumet and Gertrude Emma Mulkey of Ekalaka. John McCauley, clerk at Char- ter's store, went to Miles City the fore part of the week, where he took in the Round -Up and met his family, who came down from Lewistown to visit him. \` Doings at the Play House On Tuesdays we have arranged for exceptionally good programs which we can show you for 15c and 25c. On Thursdays you have the oppor- tunity of seeing a PARAMOUNT plc- / -- ture, such as you can see only in the picture theatres of the highest class. On Saturdays we feature the GREAT SERIAL, LIBERTY, together with A No. 1 comedy and good scenario. The Amusement Company Lakeside James Hubbard is adding a new chimney to his house. A. L. Pangburn, G. A. Scruggs and M. Moolich were Baker vis- itors last week. Miss Josephine Pangburn spent the day with Mr. and Mrs. Jo- seph Bourn last Wednesday. Sigvard Benson from near Wil- lard is visiting at the .1. 0 indberg home this week. Leo. Fisk came down from Ba- ker Sunday for a short stay. Mr. and Mrs. Chris Ege made a trip to Baker last week and brought home some farm ma- chinery. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Caley and daughter Edith of Creighton, ar- rived Friday for a visit with their son, F. C. Caley. Paul Trapp, Sr., who has been visiting his daughter, Mrs. Thos, Rawson. returned to his home at Big Stone, S. D., a few days ago. His daughter remained for a longer visit. Miss Mildred Pangburn is at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. Nacnab, where she will remain for some time. Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Armstrong and family of Elgin were calling on friends in Lakeside neighbor- hood Sunday afternoon. The Ekalaka Pups went out and indulged in a game of—you name it—last Supday. , with the boys of the S. Basin team The score of the \wham -battle\ was only 24-20, hiking around the bases in this instance, giving all honors to the H. S. boys. Something like $4.84 worth of score sheets and pencils were used to tally runs only, the treas- urers of both teams forbidding the markihg down of errors, home runs. assists, etc., on ac- count of the shortage in the pa- per market. Even at that, we all had a good time, plenty of ex- ercise and a nice ride through the timber—ask the boys who rode the \blue streak.\ Tomor- row the Pups go to Webster to meet the Bisher boys, and a week from Sunday they go to Prairie Dale. Arrangements will probably be made for a game in Ekalaka for Sunday. Rev. Whitaker of Westmore, Mont., will hold services at the church July 9 and 10 at 8 o'clock. Rev. Whitaker is coming to look over the field with a view to per- manent pastorate. Everyone is cordially invited to attend these services, and we trust the people of Ekalaka will give the gentle- man a call, to take the place here ' as a residence minister. A Suggestion We want to offer a suggestion at this time to the business men of the town, believing that this question should merit the thought and prompt action of everyone who is interested in making Ekalaka a better town. On windy days, and it seems that the wind celebrates nearly every day, the way the dust whirls. flys and tears about the streets, makes us all disgusted, and there will be no rest from this nuisance until. a sprinkling system is adopted. We have tried out the practice of using the fire depart- ment's hose, but tbe work con- nected with this plan requires too many men, and a big chance is always being taken with a fire, as after each sprinkling by this system the hose must be laid away to dry and is not on the hose carts should a fire start. Our plan is simply this: Pur- chase some 800 feet of two-inch or two and a half inch iron pipe, lay this from . the upper end of Main street about a foot in the ground, and extend it to near the fire well under the town hall, hi- etall some five or six couplings at an equal distance apart along this line of pipe, and pump di- rect into this water main from the engine house. We have been inquiring into the price of in- stalling this system, and believe that the total cost of the pipe, couplings and the labor would not be over $375. where if we were to purchase 800 feet of sat- isfactory hose the cost would be nearly $1000. Figuring that at least twenty-flve business houses would be benefitted by this sprinkling system, a donation from each one of only $15 would give us the finances to install it. Surely to keep the dust down in the hot summer months would be worth several times this amount to every business house in Ekalaka. With this system one man would be required to at- tend the engine while in opera. tion and one to do the sprinkling. Let us talk this over. A large number of Ekalaka people went to Sykes Wednesday to celebrate the 4th. They had a good program there consisting of two ball games, horse racing. broncho riding and a big dance in the evening. The Rim Rock. Sykes and Prairie Dale teams played ball, the former boys win- ning both games. Considering the many celebrations through- out •the country on that day. Sykes had an exceptional large attendance. June Olsen has returned from Gillette, Wyo., where he was vis- iting. His wife and family are still there visiting. ammin s apams • ammo sis0 OLSEN'S DeLuxe Ice Cream And Soft Drinks Need no introduction.
