THAT SHOP.REMOvAL SCARE.

Now that Mandan is recovering
from the shop-removal scare, Ed
itor futile devotes considerable
space in the Pioneer to scoring a
dozen or more state papers that
dared to say that Mandan might
not be or was not likely to be Sc
lected as the site for the new shops.
The Press, and especially the ed
itor, comes in for a large share of
MI. Tuttle's spleen because he
said it was generally believed
that the shops would not be e
built in Mandan" and that their
loss would be a " severe blow to
Mandan." 1t WAS generally be-
lieved not only in Dickinson and
Bismarck but in Mandan also and
was byno means confined to Ayers
as the Pioneer likes to think.
Neither was it out of spite to Man.
dan that we and others held that
opinion, although Mr.. Tnttle sees
in that opinion reason to affirm
that the PRESS would like to see
Mandan wiped off from the map.
The Press has always been fair to
Mandan-tried to be neighborly,
which is more than the Pioneer
has been to Dickinson. When
the superintendent office was
taken to Glendive, the Pioneer
spoke very disparagingly of Dick
inson; and later when the railroad
entered upon its policy of general
retrenchment, and the PRESS
chronicled the fact that one of the
yard switch engines here had been
discontinued, the Pioneer took it
up and said that Dickinson would
soon be "only a flag station"
This is but a sample of the
Pioneers attitude toward Dick
inson and Dickinson enterprises.
When the Stark county boundary
measure was up, the Pioneer
fought it in season and out of sea-
son; and just a few weeks ago it
went out of its way to say that
the people of the country north
we're talking of organizing several
counties just to give an oppor-
tunity to tell in a smooth way that
the supreme court had decided
against Stark. Mr.. futile knew
that there we're not residents
enough in that section to make
even one county under the present
laws to say nothing of the fact
that there is a law on the statute
books still holding all the territory
as a part of Stark.
Notwithstanding Morton county
and futile have always fought the
boundary measure, when it came
to that fair appropriation to
which our neighboring county is
no more entitled than any other
county in the state-Morton has
needed and had the aid of Stark
county, the PRESS turning in
to say a good word. Last winter
it looked as if Morton county
would lose this state appropriation
and had it not been for the able
efforts of Senator MEG illivray and
Representative Lish she would
have.
The Pioneer asks sarcastically
"Can it be that Dickinson is jeal-
Gus of Mandarin" No, but the
Mandan Pioneer has for many
years shown that the green-eyed
monster possessed it whenever it
turned its eyes toward this fur.

milk WHITE FLAG" TONIGHT.

milk WHITE FLAG" TONIGHT.
In Mr. Hoyt's satirical military COM
edy. "A Mix White Flag" there is a de-
licious tumble of characters and scenes
that keeps an audience IN interested ex-
pectancy during the entire performance.
Probably the most expressive criticism
Of the play would be to say It suits the
public taste and fancy. especially at the
present time. The production is vastly
clever and entertaining and many Of the
scenes are intensely funny. and present.
ed, as they are, by a large and compe-
tent cast and lavish and scenic and cos
tuning accessories, they cannot fail to
make a large hit. The story deals with
the Ransom Guards, military organiza-
ton, who have adopted as a dtting em-
blem Of their lighting procliviues a milk
white nag. OF course there Is a plot. but
II the listener does not care to bother his
head about a. he will enjoy the perform
ance just the same. The chief merit Is
fun. The humorous situations are carried
to the extreme, nevertheless, not once
does the author overstep the bounds of
perfect refinement and pure comedy.
While the foregoing statement may seem
unnecessary, it will be appreciated when
one recalls several of the latest farce
comedies. To the comedy Is added excel
lent singing, ensemble chorus work and
clever fascinating dancing specialties.
The play being Of a military character
allows great scope for flashy and fetch
ing costumes. John w. Dunno. as the
colonel whom Napoleon resembled,'
makes up wonderfully like Napoleon, and
has a conception of his role thai crea les
laughter galore. Mary Marble IS an i'm
portant factor In the cast. She has a
| charming personal appearance, and q
bright dashing manner that makes her d
favorite with her audience at once. Tn,
