Monday , we went down to see the fish hatchery near the mill dam which is in charge of Wra. Francke who knows all about fish and game having spent a good part of his life as a sportsman. He has 200,000 speckled and black and white northern trout hatching out. Some are hatched out and big enough to swim around. The spawn were brought here about the 20th of January and the building was built last fall and was ready for use. When these fish are out of the way about 300,000 rainbow trout will be shipped here for hatching. These will all be placed in tributaries of the Niobrara be tween here and Longpine. After the trout are hatched and disposed of , the black bass will be given the attention of the hatchery and all the lakes will be stocked in this part b'f the country. 4 ? I * & * ? ft ftI I * We have on display.in our window this week a bunch of genuine tigers , not the ordinary kind but the latest we could obtain from K the famous establishment of Keith Bros. & Co. , Chicago , 111. Each one of these tigers carries a price card in plain red figures ifr and is valued from § 1.50 to § 3.00 , in any si/e you want. They are all the 1908 variety and present a pleasing and novel ap pearance which belongs only to this special kind of tiger. We ft * guarantee perfect satisfaction to every purchaser of these new 2 * spring tigers and should there be any growl from either you or the tiger , we will gladly refund your money. 2 * Take a look at them. We were mistaken in our state ment last week that Harry Strick land was paroled. We are now informed that his sentence was commuted. Louie Stetter returned last week from Crawford where until rec ently his father was engaged in a meat market and had a beef con tract at Fort Robinson , but has sold out to Tobien & Foerster who are running the business. Louie Bordeaux came down from his ranch north of Kilgore last Monday and the following morning went over to Tripp and Gregory counties on land business. He called at our office and we en joyed a pleasant visit with him. * Wash Honey of Woodlakecame up last Friday on business and had time to enjoy a few games of checkers with Col. Harrison and ye editor who claims the cham pionship of Cherry county. The east bound freight came unex pectedly and left Mr. Honey in our city over night and gave us the opportunity of playing several games and it was like a visit back home to have such a good natured checker tournament. Mr. Honey plays a good game and there were some interesting games. The recent warm and rainy weather has melted the snow and ice on the sidewalks which was neglected by property owners. This is an important matter in our city and should receive more con sideration than has been sljown on numerous past occasions. We don't mean to stir up bad feeling nor to harshly or unjustly criticise those who failed on this or that occasion to clear the snow from his sidewalk but it is necessary for the benefit of the general pub lic to have sidewalks cleared after a snow. After the last snow there were many walks that were not cleared and when it became tramp ed down the sidewalks were worse than the middle of the street. Thawing and freezing , slippery arid sloppy in turn , and disagree able to travel upon , slipping , slid ing , slopping along , stamping and scraping the slush from one's feet on the clean walks only to run on to another bunch of snow and ice or sloppy sidewalk which had not been cleared at the proper time. We hope it will not be necessary again to refer to such conditions. A light snow is easily swept off and a heavy snow much easier to clear away soon after it has fallen than to delay , and oftentimes it has been left to be tramped down to the detriment of everyone who walks and those who have carpets to keep clean. Sweep them ofT , Keep ydur sidewalks clean. of winter goods in all lines is. now complete. Come and give us a call. MAX E. VIERTEL DEALER IN EVERYTHING.
