Re ports come from the potato fields in the western counties that many of the fields will not be dug on account of the low prices that they are bring ing on the market. The high freight rates will make the shipping of po tatoes prohibitive to any great ex tent. The local crops of tubers in Holt county is extra large, and with a little outside assistance the de mands of the county can be cared for without any trouble.

The lodge room will be 24x48 feet; there are three large lockers; a large reception and ante-room, hallways and a club room 12x24 feet across the front of the building. The ceiling of the en tire building will be steel. The lodge room will contain (two large fans; nine windows are located on three sides of the room which insures good ventilation. The building will be heated, presumably by a steam fur nace. The entire cost of the building complete with the new furniture that is now ordered and some that will be ordered soon will amount to about $6,000. The hunting season on ducks and geese opened Saturday morning. These game birds are very scarce in this part of the county and those who v)|ere hunting in this Vicinity had poor luck. There seems to be a scarcity of ducks over in the lake districts of the southern and south western part of the county where in former years they were plentiful. The territory in the vicinity of Cham bers and in several localities in the southern part of the county, is ‘posted against hunters mostly because of the pot hunters who migrate from the eastern part of the state about the time the season opens, and kill otf the ducks and chickens. These hunt ers kill more game than they can care for. The farmers of the south coun try are considerably “worked up” over the treatment given them by hunters who seem to care but little for the damage they do to the country by carelessly starting prairie fires which did untold damage to them last year. The foreign hunters are caus ing the local sports considerable trouble and there seems to be no way to remedy the difficulty exedpt strin gent action on the part of the people affected. United States Marshal D. II. Cronin acompanied by George Key ser, deputy district attorney, of Omaha, stopped in O’Neill between trains last Friday on their way from Chadron, where they had been at tending federal court.
