500 Reward, 500.
The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease it requires a con-
stiutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces Of
the system, thereby destroying the foun-
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con-
stition and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer one Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials.

A YEARS RECORD.

YEARS RECORD.
The shipments of live stock
and other products of Stark and
Billings counties for 1903 are in
and indicate something
If the wealth and possibilities of
the western portion of the state.
The shipment of beef cattle,
1874 head, while considerably
less than the previous year owing
to the low market price, shows
one of the ways in which the peo-
pie are utilizing the native grasses
and making our cheap grazing
lands give profitable returns.
Western North Dakota holds
the palm for high prices on grass
fed beef. In. 1902 all previous
records were broken when a ar
load of the Harkins 3-year old
native steers, weighing an average
of 1924 pounds, sold at $40 per
hundred live weight; but in 1903
prices were very different. The
Jensen natives, weighing 1901
pounds, topped the sales of the
season at s5.o5 per hundred. The
top prices of the two years
are given to indicate the differ.
ence in market values of the
two years, and the falling off of
prices is one of the causes for our
people wintering thousands of cat
tie which would otherwise have
been marketed in 1903. Then,
too, in 1902 the remnants of big
outfits were mostly gathered and
shipped, thus leaving the range
to the smaller owners-those hav-
ing from 100 to 500 cattle each
and who, in many cases, were not
expecting to ship much the past
season. The coming season the
cattle shipments will be large,
probably more than twice as large
as last season.
In horses, sheep, wool, flour,
brick and coal there is a good in
crease shown the past year.
The shipment of horses amount
ed to 70 cars by rail and as many
more were taken out of the coun-
try overland; which, figured at an
average price of $50 per head,
represents S226,ooo.
Sheep shipments, 22S cars, or
50, 100 head, figured at an average
net selling price of 50, represents,
SI5o,48o. This is an increase of
S26,o for mutton sales over the
previous season.
The wool shipments we're
100000 pounds, an increase of
half a million pounds over the
previous year. The average cash
selling price in Dickinson was
15c, making a total of $4,000
received for this product. The
increase of the wool-growing bust.
ness is certainly wonderful. Ten
or fifteen years ago there was not
wool enough raised in the, coun-
ties of Stark and Billings to fill a
car.
The shipment of grain amount
ed to 200 cars. or $4,000 worth
The most of our people seem to
be too busy growing live stock to
give much attention to the raising
of crops.
The shipment of Aour-from
Gladstone with the exception Of
one car-amounted to $4,000
worth, which does not include a
large amount sold locally, and nc
account is made of the custom
business.
Seventeen cars of hay shipped
from Dickinson netted SO pei
ton or $3.50.
The coal output at Lehigh was
34,o31 tons, which sold at an aver
age price of S1.2o f. o. b., or $780,
1920. To this should be addec
another $4,000 for coal minec
by small mine owners and farmer:
who supply local markets during
winter months.
The Dickinson brick plant, thu
only yard making fire brick in thu
state. manufactured 100000
brick, or $4,000 worth.
