Yes you have all waited for the decline of the price
of lumber and it has come, and you are needing the
buildings which you had thought to have had built.
During the time the prices of your products have also
advanced in price. This we are pleased to know.
The prices of lumber and building material has
suffered as much a decline as any could reasonably ex
pect. Really the tendency with the increased building
which is sure to come, might strengthen the market
some.
The young pigs will be safer with a good, dry
warm place. The chickens will lay better with a sunny
warm house. And how about your home? Is it as
comfortable as- the family need?
The world is going forward; let's us get busy.

Why Not a Commercial Club?
( Communicated )
I noticed la?t week an article in
the Journal relative to the need of
a hotel in Murdock. This has sug
gested to me that one thing which
this town needs is a live wire com
mercial club, which would solve this
and like questions. There is much
business that could be drawn to Mur
dock if all the interests were work
ing together. Sure we need a hotel
and an ideal site would be the lots
near the Rock Iiland station, which
hae two old buildings on which
Mr. Wm. Gehrts used for imple
ments sheds a quarter of a century
aeo, or more. Murdork has made
some strides and is a very active
town, tut it could be more bo if the
citizens would co-operate to the end
cf making it such. A stock company
should go behind a good hotel and
hotel building, which would make
this town better as now a man com
ing in doesn't know whether he is
going to ;get something to eat when
he has business here. Traveling men
aim to make this town between
trains or do not come at all, thus in
conveniencing the merchants.
K. L. D.
ness is assuming its old time volume, !
and that just now the trains are j
larger and the contributions to Mur-
dock in local shipments art greater
than for some time, assuming their
old time appearanee, and this not-i
withstanding the fact that much!
freight is now being hauled by truck, j
Attended the Tournament !
J. Johansen with his truck took a
large number of the high school and
some of the teachers to Lincoln last
Thursday, where they went to wit
ness the games which the Murdock
team were engaged in. The Murdock
team was to try out issues with the
team from Yutan.
Undergoes an Operation
Mr. Charles F. Hite, who has been
feeling very poorly for a number of ,
months, went a few days since to
Lincoln, where he entered the Saint
Catherine hospital of that place for i
an operation for relief from his suf-j
fcring. Seven X-ray pictures showed J
his trouble all in one place, at the '
juncture of the transverse and de-:
scending colon. Nothing except an
operation was deemed would give '
relief and accordingly the first of last
week he underwent an operation to
find a small cancer of a malignant
character has grown on one of the
intestines. The growth was removed
and it was thought that a second one
would be necessary before permanent
relief could be assured. Mr. Hite was
feeling some better after the opera
tion as the intense suffering had
been stopped. He was getting along
as well as the nature or the maiaay
would permit.
