j. ates that between 60,000000 and
80,o00,O0 tons of rock fell. the de-
bfis OF which covers almost two
square miles. The slide is attributed
to the steepness of the mountain
and the shattered condition of the
rock This was due to "faulting'
and crushing of the rock during the
process of mountain building. Heavy
rainfalls pouring through the fissures
tended to open them still further
The accident was locally fastened by

caused a jar The mountain where
the slip took place is badly fractured
and is new slipping down all the
time There is danger of another
slide, as some of the fractures eX
tend back 600 feet from the face, and
if these were to open, another bulk
would come down.
Mr.. Mcconnell thinks that there
will always be more or less risk ir
living at Frank, and that the people
should move as soon as possible.

Tried to Get Rid of Her BABY,

Mandan Pioneer: Wednesday night
Conductor Veeder, who took charge of

dan, discovered a three-months-old babe
in the toilet room of one of the coaches
while making his tour through the differ
ent cars. The conductor had noticed a
woman hastily leave the car when the
train arrived at Mandan and concluded
that the baby belonged to her. He wired
Agent Sterling Of the circumstances,
who located the mi and had her ar
rested. After a number of denials she
finally confessed that the baby was her
own. At first she claimed that the baby
belonged to another woman who was to
meet her along the line and take charge
of the youngster, and failing to do so,
she concluded to leave the child on the
train and when the woman made her ap-
ppearance, she would find the babe.
The woman is we'll known around here.
She was living with a Mr.. De Witt, who
resides north of Mandan, but several
months ago she ran away with the hired
man and had not been heard of since.
They located near Detroit. The hired
man deserted her and she now express
es a willingness to return to her first
husband but is doubtful in regard to her
reception. She thought it would better
her chances if she were rid of the baby.
The youngster was brought back to
Mandan on the next train and was final
ly returned to its mother. TT

LAY UP YOUR TREASURES.
No Man should Spend the Whole Of

No Man Should Spend HI Whole of
His Income.
Is any too poor to save? is an i'm
portant problem which the readers of
a London daily are at present attempt
ing to solve. The question Is not by
any means a new one. 1t Is one which
has troubled past generations, just us,
in all probability, it will affect the gen.
erations yet to come. We cannot say
that this latest discussion Of the SUBJ
ject is throwing much, If any, fresh
light upon it.
In the first place, there is a diversity
of opinion regarding the term 'poor."
One man, who derives an income of
$3.50 a year from private property,
fancies he comes under the category,
while another does not consider any
n poor who has an income of $500 a
year, says a writer In Leslie's Weekly.
1t is m%anifestly impossible to fix any
limit in a matter like this. Very much
depends upon the locality and the con-
ditions and surroundings Of the indi-
vidual. An income that would be
amply sufficient to insure a family q
comfortable home, excellent social ad-
vantages and a good living in a coun-
try village would mean many priva-
lions and sore discomforts in any large
city.
On the whole, however, we are in
clined to believe that Max O'Relrs
views on the point under discussion
come nearer the safe and common
sense rule than anything we have seen.
II do not care" he says, chow small
the income Of a mar is, he should never
spend the whole Of it, especially If he
has a wife and children. He should
at least save enough to pay every year
the premium on a good life policy. No
man is worthy of the name who does
not do this, at least, at the price of
whatever privations he has to submit
to. Some pleasure may be derived
from high living, but certainly no hap.

Building for o

Already plans are being made for the
erection of new buildings another spring
and unless all signs TAIL anumber al t.. :
story brick buildings will be built by
business men of the city. McCloy and
Senour have decided to build on their
new Sims street lot known as the Pisha
place. The building is to be 100 feet
long by IS feet wide, two stories. with
full basement. The first floor will be for
their hardware business and it is likely
that they will use nearly all of the second
floor for shop work and warehouse. Some
rock have already been hauled for the
basement wall. The present building. on
the lot has been purchased by c. S.
Langdon who is to move it off early in
the spring.
McCloy and Senour plan to occupy
their new quarters on the first of August.
Pat Mckinley of Mandan expects to
return to Dickinson in the spring and is
figuring on the erection Of a two.story
brick building on the vacant lot south Of
the American House. The lower part OF
the building will probably be used for a
store and the second floor fitted for lodg.

OVER TWO MILLIONS.

The shipment Of live stock from
Stark county for the year 1902 is
indeed mo.t interesting >hoAiiiS,
as it docs the great growth and
marvellous wealth of this industry.
The grain shipment also makes a
good showing. The total ship
ment of cattle was l,o16 cars, or
23,368 head. The average net
selling price of these cattle in
Chicago was $40 per head, or
s1,o74,928.oo. This is an increase
of S35o,S68 over the value of ship
ments from the county for 1901.
The Shipment of horses by rail
was 100 cars, which figured at 500
per head, equals SI36,62o. But it
is probable that as many or more
horses were shipped out of the
county overland, and that $780,
600 would be nearer the correct
figures.
The sheep shipment from the
county amounts to 2o7 cars or 41,-
400 sheep, all but 10 cars being
loaded at Dickinson and Eland.
Figuring the net price of sheep
in Chicago at 3 dollars this would
mean S124,2oo realized from NUT
ton sales.
The shipment of grain was o35
cars, or S444,5oo worth.
The shipment of flour from the
Gladstone Roller mill was az cars,
valued at s23,5oo.
The wool shipment last season
was 100000 pounds, which SOLD
at an average price of lac, max
ing S28o,ooo.
The coal output at Lehigh wa:
I,412 cars, or 10000 tons. The
average selling price, at the mine
for the year was o2c, making $50,
$50 more to be added to the Starl
county products of 1902.
One and one-half million
