FUTURE OF THE RIO GRANDE
Contest Between Jeffery and Dodge
for Presidency of Combined
|f Roads,

The all-absorbing topic in railroad cir
Giles is the future policy and president
fthe consolidated Rio Grande lines
But two men stand prominently before
the public as the futnte head of the sys-
TEN, Colonel d. c.. Dodge and T.. r.
Jeffrey, both of Denver. There is at the
present time the most spirited contest
between these two men. If Jeffrey
is chosen the Salt Lake offices will be
abolished and Denver will be the hea l.
quarters. That would mean also the re-
tirement of the whole .'iaff and the Rio
Grande Western would mercy be the
end of :. Colorado system.
If Colonel Dodge is made the president
then the Western would remain to a
large extent a Utah road and the work
of advertising this state. developing it's
rescJroes and lettering the system
would go on. For that reason all local
people want to see Dodge remain. for
with Jeffrey it is all for Colorado and
Denver. or course the purchase of the
Western by the Denver & Rio Grande
carries with it one-half Of the Colorado
Midland SO that presents another sit
uation. If Dodge is selected then
Schlacks and staff remain, but if JEFF
fiery is the one the Midland force will
be retired

Almost Wrecked the
Building.

Burglars trie dto blow open the safe
of S. Binder & Co.. butchers. corner

off it's hinges and imbedded in the brick
wall. the entire interior of the building
wrecked and the glass front demolished.
The noise made by the explosion fright

There has been very little change in

stronger at $4.15 per case with a full sup

According to the geological survey,
there is a steadily increasing demand tor
the Ignite Goals of North Dakota. The
production in 1900, I2o,883 short tons,
showed an increase of 3l.o74
or 3l.5 per cent over that of
the year preceding. The value
increased somewhat more in proportion,
from sI17,5oo to sI58,358, a gain of s4o,-

Ward county leads in the production
of coal in North Dakota, its product last
year amounting to 6o,641 tons, valued at
S86,3Io. Stark county. 10000 tons. val
ued at $4,000, and Morton county, with
27,428 tons, valued at S28,8oo, come next
in order, smaller amounts having been
produced by Mclean, Burleigha and En-
mons counties. The average price per
ton paid for North Dakota Goals last year
was SLIP although the coal of Ward
county brought SLAP. Of the total pro-
duct of the state, Io6,584 tons were load
ed at the mines for shipment, 21,72o tons
were sold to local trade and used by en-
ployes, 1870 tons were consumed at the
mines. The product for 1900 was by far
the largest in the history of the state.
Next year will show a large increase
in the amount mined in Burleigh and
Mclean counties, when the Washburn
mines get to working on full time.

CATTLE T~REspAssERs
Nom Resident Cattle-O Owners are
Violating the Law Passed to
Protect North Dakota
Cattle Industry.

Medora, N. D., Aug. GA law passed
by the last Legislature of North Dakota re-
quires non-residents who turn stock loose
in the state to Craze, to pay a tax of fifty
cents per head per month.
Alex. Duhamel 4 Co., Of Rapid City,
have turned 1880 head of cattle IN the
range in Billings county. The county
treasurer has notified this partySto pay
these taxes on this stock under the law.
Up to the present time they have failed
to do so. If they are not paid the county
treasurer will certainly attach the cattle;
the case then will perhaps be carried to
courts.
Many lawyers claim the law is I'M
constitutional, and was only passed to
tickle the ranchmen.
From reading a very impertinent letter
written to the county treasurer by an
official of the Northern Pacific Railway
company. it looks as if the railway COM
pany is willing to aid the non-residents.
Just why railway company is willing to
assist the non-residents against residents
who have built homes here it is hard to
say.
Either the large herds of non-residents
who pay no taxes will have to be kept
out, or the residents who have built
homes here will bave to leave the county.

4 Charminq Function.

t-3eT[FNHA fEEsAAoEg- NlIGt xaIa.4HfaHJt Lt@ AAstita
There have been az number OF pretty
society functions in Dickinson during the
past few months, but perhaps that given
by Mrs. L. A. Simpson Thursday after
noon in honor Of her sister, Miss Emma
Messersmith, and her cousin Miss
Evelyn Messersmith Of st. Cloud, Mimi,
eclipsed them all. It was in the form OF
a ""pink, and white luncheon, and every
appointment was carried out with a de-
gree of ease and elegance BETTING the
occasion.
The rooms Of Mrs. Simpsons palatial
home were handsomely trimmed with
pink and white flowers Of various kinds,
and the dining room was particularly
lovely in its decorations Of sweet peas
and satin ribbon. Extending from the
chandelier to the table could be seen
steamers of pink ribbon entwined with
pretty sprays of woodbine, and ending
in dainy rosettes. The centerpiece was
a large bowl of sweet peas resting on an
elaborate Gutenberg lunch cloth, and
was resplendent with cut glass and
glittering silver. The name cards
placed at each plate were plain and
neat, with a spray of sweet peas tied
with bows Of dainty baby ribbon on the
corner of each. The luncheon was
served in five courses, and was of the
most delicate and appetizing nature.
While seated atthetable, Photographer
Osborn took pictures of the guests ac-
cording to Mrs. Simpsons arrangement,
and when finished each one Of the party
will be presented with one as a souvenir
OF the happy event.
Before partaking of the luncheon, how
ever, a very unique game in the form of
a "cake guessing contest was INDUCED
in, which proved very amusing as well as
instructive. Miss Mckenzie took the
cake" which was the first prize, and
Miss Fay Pearl won t1e BOBBY.
The young ladiesfn whose honor the
occasion was celebrated expect to leave
the city Monday, Miss Evelyn going to
her home at ST. Cloud, and Miss Emma
to Grand Fgfks, where she will attend
the University the coming winter.
Miss Evelyn is a charming young lady
with pretty winsome ways, and h $
made a host of friends while in the city
who will ever remember her.
Miss Emma is one of Dickinson's
most accomplished musicians, a %favorite
among her associates, and will be greatly
missed both in musical and social circles.
Those present were: Misses Pearl,
Carroll, Pauline Sco6eld, Tollefson,
Rudiselle, Deffebach, Tiffnay, Mabel
and Ethel Currie, Drenkel, Genevieve
Crowley, Seaman, Simms and Mckenzie.
Mrs. Simpson, as usual, retained her
reputation as a queen of entertainers,
excelling in all things of a social nature
she undertakes, and the evening spent
at her beautiful, hospitable home will
linger long in the memories OF these her
guests.
