The May 8, 1903, “Transcript” carried an article from the “Jamestown Alert” which claimed that New Rockford had had automobiles for years and that all the towns along the James River had them that year. [The first mention I have found in the “Transcript” of car-ownership by a New Rockford resident was from the June 13, 1902, issue, which said that on June 11, 1902, veterinarian J.C. Whiteman had received an automobile and had given just about everyone in town a ride over the next two days. F...
The above ad, which was published in the "New Rockford Transcript," was found in the archives of the Eddy County Museum. Not only does it feature some interesting summer fashion for the early 20th century, but it also depicts a pivotal time in children's clothing and fashion. The death of Queen Victoria in 1901 marked the end of an era. Not only was it the end of her 63-year reign over Great Britain, it was also a turning point in fashion. Soon Americans were shedding their extravagant hats and...

It was a close one at Legion Ball Park as the Sox took on the Nelson County Owls on Wednesday, June 17. Both teams seemed evenly matched as the first couple of innings were defensively dominated. Neither team could get it going or get on bases. In the third inning is when the Owls seemed to come out on top with four runs and continued to keep the Sox from scoring at the bottom of the third. As the game continued, hope for the Black Sox diminished as they were unable to get players onto the...

During what normally would have been the beginning of a busy season, Jeff Baker of Rez Famous Lemonade on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation kicked off June with local lemonade sales to drive-up customers. Summer on the reservation in north-central North Dakota is typically busy for Baker with weekend powwows and the occasional car show or community event. While he normally expects about 16 weekend business opportunities between April and November, this summer is different. "Our main venue...

When it comes to fishing, I'm a fan of second fiddles, the underappreciated, those that don't take the top spot when it relates to what many people target on the water. I revel in the solid smack delivered by a rock bass as it steals a jig meant for a smallmouth, or when a white bass snatches a spoon cast out for a pike. Many times, the action these secondary species provide is enough for me to switch up my offering, and even downsize my rod, to continue pursuing them when they're abundant and...
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department reminds citizens that possession or use of fireworks on state wildlife management areas is prohibited. The primary objective of a wildlife management area is to enhance wildlife production, provide hunting and fishing opportunities, and offer other outdoor recreational and educational uses that are compatible with these objectives. Only activities that would not disrupt the intentions of how these areas are managed are encouraged, and a fireworks display is not compatible. In addition, the Game and...
With the heat of summer descending upon the region, those cold water loving trout which were stocked in area lakes and reservoirs are seeking out the depths, and aside from some chill hours in the morning and evening, are a bit tougher to target on the fly rod. Luckily, around the upper Midwest, there are plenty of other fish to take their place on the long rod and many ways to catch them. What follows are a handful of warm water species to take on with a fly box in tow, hone those fly fishing...
