An Insurance Roast.

Jamestown Capital: If the insur.
ance companies are not making g.
nough to pay their presidents $50,OOO
year salaries, perhaps the people
would rather make up the amount by
popular subscription than have it ex.
torted from them in raise of rates.
In most kinds of business people do a
losing business some of the time and
have to stand it, but not so with the
board (combine) insurance companies.
They just raise the rates to make
their business profitable all the time.
and the harder the times the higher
the rates. Our next legislature should
give them little of their own medi-
cine. The people of this state could
mutually insure themselves Il great
deal cheaper and keep the money at
home instead of sending it back East
to swell the already plethoric purses
of millionaire companies with their
$4,000 a year presidents, actuaries,
attorneys and other officers galore, in
proportion.

The Future OF Dickinson.

What does Dickinson need?
First tobe Incorporated, that there
may be some authority and con-
centrated action for the public
good. She needs incorporation
to keep her streets and alleys
clean; to control certain vices
common in her midst; to provide
protection against fire; to build
sidewalks and light her streets;
to secure system of water works
and sewage; in short, to secure
that to which her present popula-
tion and wealth entitlc her.
The gently sloping town-site,
makes the drainage question easi-
ly settled and the same condition
also renders town water system
easy if an Artesian we'll we're sunk
north of town.
People in search of rooms or
tenements say that Dickinson
needs more hotel room and hous-
es for rent.
The school library is a step in
the right direction and is open to
the public; but it can never take
the place of a town library. Such
library would be of great advan-
tage to Dickinson if centrally To-
Gated and having a reading-room
attached. Areading.room. bright
and cosy, and supplied with the
latest papers and magazines,
would be fully appreciated, espe-
cially by those whose homes are
their boarding house or hotel
rooms.
Dickinson needs more thought
and labor on the part of her citi-
zens to make her beautiful. Trees
and shrubs set along her streets,
and in parks, which should be laid
out and cared for, will in a few
years not only please the eye but
enhance the value of all the town
property.
Do all these things seem impos.
sible and visionary Not at all

A little more than a year ago
Sphinx & Best came from Mandan
and engaged in the dry goods
business here. They carry fine
assortment of goods and have
done a fine thing for the town and
for themselves.
About the same time Currie &
Crowl purchased the McGillivray
stock of general merchandise.
They have materially increased
the stock and do a heavy busi-
ness.
A third new enterprise of the
same period was the opening of
the c. o. D. store by ]. A. Coils
& Sons. During the past season
this firm has moved into larger
quarters-which speaks for itself.
Last March M. L. Parker open
ed the Columbia. He carries a
large assortment of gents furnish
ing goods; he is a wide awake
business man and does a lively
business.
l. c. DeGraff, shoe dealer of
Bismarck, moved the bulk of his
business to Dickinson last spring.
He bought a lot on Willard street
and erected a fine new store-a
full description of which appeared
in the PRESS at the time of its
completion. Everything in the
boot and shoe line is found at De-
Crafts and he deserves and has a
large trade.
Another business venture of the
spring was the opening of a Chi
nese store by Jim Lee.
Dickinson had but one lumber
yard for some time until this year,
when Leask Bros. set up in busi-
ness. This fall T. J. Greene has
entered the firm, which is strong
one and doing we'll.
In October Robinson & De-
France started new drug store
They have a good clean stock
and report satisfactory trade.
The Dickinson Mercantile Co
is the latest new firm. They are
successors to Lawrence & Dickin
son, and will largely increase the
old stock.
John Riessbeck has during the
year opened a new restaurant, put
ting in considerable capital, ane
has all he can do.
The Willard house changed
hands in the summer, and its pres
ent proprietors have greatly i'm
proved the property.
On the seventh of October Nc
Cloy & Senour succeeded B. F
Fowler in the hardware business
They have increased the amount
of stock formerly carried, and are
making the old store more popu-
lar than ever.
These firms have added about
S75,ooo.oo to the mercantile value
of Dickinson-practically in one
year; and considering the finances
of the country this year we call this
an extraordinary good showing.
No capital has been taken from
the trade of Dickinson, and nearly
all of the old business houses
have added something.

the merchants because people

The Land Of Flowers.

Three hundred and eighty, one years
ago, the romantic Ponce de Leon,
searching for the fabled fountain of
youth. set foot on IL land so adorned
with blossoms of every kind and hue
that he named it Florida-Land of
Flowers. To most Northerners, Flor.
ida suggests only refuge for invalids
and consumptives, or place whence
come oranges and other semi.tropical
fruits. The state. however, has some-
thing OF history. Where Ponce de-
Leon landed. was founded st. Angus
tine, the Oldest settled town in the u
nlted States, and now a famous winter
resort. In 1853 Florida was ceded by
Spain to Great Britain, in exchange
or as aransom for Cuba, on which the
British lion had laid his paw. In 1888
at the close of our Revolutionary war,
England ceded the territory back to
Spain, probably not desiring posses.
