A little \dope\ taken from the files of the Eagle and other information of interest. (Issue of Jan. 7, 1910.) An brief description of the town and country was printed, containing a bunch of \bouquets\ about the local business men. W. H. Peck was conducting a gen- eral merchandise store; J. E. Wilson was postmaster and also conducted a confectionery store in the building at present occupied I T Gene Neveaux; A. E. Dague and A. W. Lucas were the \whistle wetters\ and we had two* banks, the Ekalaka Bank and the Ekalaka Commercial ,p tate Bank. At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rob- ert Perkins on Box Elder on Decem- ber 26th, Joe Arpan and Miss Birdie Perkins were united in wedlock. The Decoration of Chivalry held under the auspices of Custer Canebn No. 6, I. 0. 0. F. last Friday evening was witnessed by a full house. The decoration was conferred upon Mrs. Barbra Boggs and Mrs. Joda E. El- der, the drill work, etc. being a credit to the local Canton. Staff Captain George Heggen was also to have tak- en the degree but unfortunately was taken ill during the fore part of the evening. After the services by the lodge a free dance was given that was well attended and at 11:30 a free supper was served at the Martin hotel by the lodge ladies. The entertain- ment afforded during the evening was enjoyed by all and the hospitality of Canton Custer No. 6 will long be re- membered. The U. S. mail has been arriving on all kinds of time on account of the deep snow. Monday's mail from Is - may arrived Wednesday. Jack Anderson was in town Tues- day from his ranch. Mr. Anderson reports the recent storm hard on the stock but no heavy loss as yet. THE LATHAM BOULEVARD. Camp Crook Gazette.—Doc Latham, our Artic explorer, discovered the ice route to Marmarth on the 13th of this month. Since that date all the other trails to the railroad towns have been practically deserted in fa- vor of the \Latham Bqulevarth\- In this case, the number, 13 has 'proved anything but unlucky for many of the stockmen of the vicinity. At the time of going to press this week. a conservative estimate is that sixty to seventy truck loads of feed and all kinds of provisions and ranch supplies havefl been hauled out of Marmarth into this immediate terri- tory on the river ice. Besides this, numerous touring cars have been . going to Marmarth after household supplies and to take loads of Christ- mas shoppers. Probably more than 150 tons of merchandise has been sold at Marmarth to residenth of this territory during the past ten days. on account of 'the weather and road conditions which conspire* to make Marmarth the most available trade center. Very little, if any, of .this business would have gone to Mar- marth under ordinary road condi- dims. This should serve to wake up that town as to the vast volume of trade in this inliNd country that 'it is loseing because of neglecting the matter of good roads. 'SMORE ABOUT EGGS. After discarding the proposition for it number of months you actu- ally start keeping chickens. You then lodge them in an enipty piano box, which has cost ; roll onky $7.50, in the back yard and then you spend several pleasant evenings fig- uring up the profits you expe:t to make from the sale of eggs anti the broilers to the neighbors. Experienced friends have married You that winter is a poor time to com- mence keeping chickens, but you know better. You have thought the whole thing out and you are convinced that now is the time. Long about the third day you begin looking for eggs. You snoop round in the skraw you have provided for the chicks at ibeut 75 cents, but you fail to discover any eggs. You are surprised and hurt. You look suspiciously at the neigh- bora' homes. Is it possible that they—? The high price of eggs, you know, is liable to make otherwise perfectly honest folks do almost anything. The fourth day there are still no eggs and you greet Neighbor Jones and keighbor Smith - with hard glanc- es and an intense desire to hand them over to the police. • On the fifth day you find that one of the chrckens got out during the night and froze to death and you are wondering who opened the \door to that piano box. Certainly you didn't leave it open yourself. Your suspicions grow. The sixth day—Eureka! • You find an egg. Your suspicions vanish. Neighbor Jones and Smith are fine, fellows. You hasten to tell them about your success. s • But they, har-headed, miserly fel- lows, plunge you into the depths of despair. They coldly figure up the cost of that one egg. It stands you at just $15.50! You strike Jones and Smith from your list of friends and a long pro- tracted neighborhood feud starts. Wow! 4re eggs high priced? You are perfectly willing to take an oath, after an experience with the keeping of chickens, that the price of eggs is way, way, way beyond all reason! BUSINESio LOCALS.
