Some Big Texas Ranches.


The cattle industry of the South
western range country is to-day repre-
sentative of an investment oe almost
100000, exclusive Of the land and
improvements. Some of the ranches
cover 100000 acres, and are worth
about IS an acre. The vast majority
of ranches in the Southwest to-day
cover less than $4,000 acres. There
are only three ranches in the South
west that extend over 100000 acres.
The K T ranch in the Texas Pan
handle covers 1,5OO,OOO acres, the J. A.
ranch in the same community a like
number, and the ranch owned by Mrs.
King in Southern Texas, near Corpus
Christi, is another immense ranch Of
over 100000 acres. Colonel G. c.
Slaughter, of Dallas, owns three
ranches, in all over 100000 acres,
and Major G. w. Littlefeld, of Rose
well, N. M, holds several ranches in
the Southwest country.

HIGH-HANDED
PROCEEDING
Resorted to by Central Committee,
Who Forced all the Candidates,
Save One, to Sign Away Their
Privilege of Naming Their Own
Deputies.

The republican county convention
is history. The county ticket is
named and the bosses are now busy
pattina score Of disappointed aspir-
ants on the back and telling them that
they will surely be in line for recog-
milton two years hence-if they will
only "be good this fall.
In point of attendance the conven-
tion was the largest one ever held in
Bottineau county and the train that
took the delegates to Westhope Thurs
day evening was too crowded for com
fort-nearly all the candidates for
sheriff being aboard.
Several attempts at combines were
made Thursday night, but none was
affected. All the delegates west of the
river were called into caucus in Z.
c. Nelson's Office, ostensibly for the
purpose of talking over chances oi
securing proper recognition at the
bands of the convention, but in reality
for the purpose of inveigling them
into the clutches of Messrs. Nelson,
Trimble and Anderson. Without even
taking test vote to show the relative
strength of the west side candidates
these bosses sprung the unit rule
PROPOSE tion and carried it, which
caused six of the delegates to bolt and
no definite agreement was reached that
night. This unit rule movement was
just a primary step toward killing OF
Scott, parkway and Supt. Carey
When it failed the next step was 6

adoption an anti third term plank.
This discreditable ghosting process un-
doubtedly had much to do. with the
defeat of Miss Carey. Up to the time
that the convention was called to order
the bosses had been unable to agree on
a slate as none Of the candidates could
be induced to withdraw
The convention was called to order
at II O'Clock Friday morning by F.
G. Falkenstein, the chairman, E. B.
Goss, not being present. The con-
vention then organized by electing MI.
Falkenstein temporary chairman and
Messrs. j. T. Neville and T. c..
Michael temporary secretaries. Five
committees were then appointed as
follows:
Credentials-D. S. Turner, E. A.
Juneau, Thos. Gardner. John We'd
guam, j. B. Stoeser.
Permanent orginization-D. A.
Critics, H. Pinkerman, Ole Myhr, A.
Kadletz, Iver Urseth.
Rules and order of business-G. s.

VIM. Fleming, A. Bergeron.
Resolutions-W. H. Adams, G. M.
Condit, I. D. McBain, T. F. Kinley,
John Krogen.
On Central Committee-Theo Tur.
ner, Il. R. Oakes, Harry Convis., A.
M. Gran, G. F. Shong. Il"
After the committees had been ap.
pointed a recess was taken till p. m.
Some great skirmishing was done
during the recess hour and a sem
blance of slate was formed. 1t was
at this time tnat the bosses encom,
passed the defeat of Miss Carey. Be.
sides using the threat that an anti
third term resolution would be intro.
duced, the word was also passed along
that she had withdrawn. It is doubt
full if ever lady candidate in this
state has met with such fierce and
questionable opposition as did Miss
Carey at Westhope last Friday. The
small vote she received did not show
her full strength, as some thought she
had withdrawn.
When the convention met in the
afternoon the various committees
brought in their reports.
Attorney Kirk brought contestine
delegation from Souris, but the Cres-
we'll delegation was seated by the
committee on credentials. This com
mittee recommended the following

FAST BALL PLAYING.
The Famous Renville Team Has Been
Victorious Three Games - The
Fourth Being Played Today.

The famous Renville ball team has
been here this week for a series of
games with our team and the lovers of
the national game have been treated
to some pretty fast ball.
The first game Of the series occurred
Tuesday and was victory for the
visitors. Although the score was one.
sided the game was pretty one.
The visitors made four runs in the first
inning, while our boys drew blank.
after that the game was closely con-
tested, neither side scoring till the
eighth inning, when che visitors sue
ceeded in making three more runs.
Our boys failed to reach the home
plate. Whiting and Rodsather con-
stituted the home battery. Attorney
Murphy umpired. The score by in
nings was as follows:
Renville 4 90 OOO3 3 O-7
Bottineau 5000 900 O 90
Tuesdays game was closer one,
the score sheet showing to 5 in favor
of the visitors at the end of the game.
Though there were some bad errors on
both sides the game was as whole a
swift one. Sevaried was in the box
for the locals and Rodsather caught.
Murphy again oficiated as umpire.
The score by innings was as follows:
Bottineau 80 la o. % a % 0s;.1---5
FRenvi11e ~ y q 90 4 s,s4-,F :x44,F7.
Yesterdays game could hardly be
said to be as good an exhibition Of ball
playing as the previous ones and the
player who didn make score was
the exception. Kelly was put in the
box for the Bottineau team for the
first six innings. when he was relieved
by Sevaried. The visitors put their
star pitcher, Holland, in the box, but
our boys had very little trouble in
finding him, as the score will show.
O. w. Eller umpired the game. The
score by innings was as follows:
Renville OO6 0 4 3 0 5-19
Bottineau 0 O / ) 0 0 o.
The fourth game of the series will
be played today and the last one will
be played at Minot. The attendance
the first two days was fair, but yes
terday's attendance was decidedly slim.

CONVENTION NOTES.

1t was an off day for Dave Clark.
Perhaps Miss Carey could not have
helped the ticket, but her friends may
be able to hurt it considerably.
Delegates who thought it desirable
to put woman on the ticket will
have to take Lloyd Wells as compro-
mise.
The new county central committee
is composed of the following men ::
Frank Sims, John Taylor, H. A. Ba-
tie. N. Bride, F. c. Falkenstein. C.

RUSSELL.

Haying will be started generally
this week.
Joe LaPorte has just gotten a new
bunch Of fine western horses.
Ed. MGovern did an acrobatic stunt
on Saturday morning that was great.
Bert De Roche of Grand Forks, is
homesteading near Russell this
summer.
The young gentlemen of our neigh
borhood are taking quite an interest
in music just now.
If fellow takes it cool and does
not allow himself to become excited
he will remember to change his shoes.
Hugh Malone and Ben Harvey Of
Westhope, and Messrs. Huss and Cook
of Lansford, were among the out of
town bunch present at the NJ w. A.
dance.
Delegates Shong, Stoeser, Fisher
and Wilber of Noble township, and
Heath of 1919, returned from the
convention at Westhope on Friday
night.
The many friends Of Chas. WILDER
will be pleased to learn of his NOM
ination, on the republican ticket, for
clerk of court. Charlie would no
doubt make an efficient official if
elected.
The new Catholic church at Ham
BIS was completed last week and mass
was celebrated there for the first time
last Sunday by Rev. Father Turcotte.
The building is nice one and quite
roomy. A new Catholic church has
been recently completed at Deep
River, south of Russell.
The Russell baseball enthusiasts
have gotten busy and organized
baseball team-to meet all corners.
And not only meet them but make
meat of them. The boys play Sergius
next Sunday (shD on the home
diamond. Let all the knockers get
out their little hammers and come
along.
The crops in this neighborhood are.
I think, without exception, the best
in the county. Your correspondent has
been over large part of the county
and no where is the grain looking as
we'll, or as far advanced as here. A
conservative estimate of the wheat
yield, in case Of immunity from hail
and frost, is twenty five bushels, while
some say thirty and even thirty five.
Oats. and barley also leok fine and the
| crop of these two grains will be un-
precedentedly heavy. Flax also looks
good and will yield perhaps fifteen
, bushels to the acre.
The big dance at the new Woodmen
hall was pulled off as per schedule on
Friday night-that is. it was to have
been pulled off Friday night but by
some inadvertence it was pulled so far
that it stretched into Saturday morn
ing. Socially and financially the dance
was great success and the members
of the M. w. A. are entitled to much
credit for their successful efforts to
complete their fine hall. The music
was furnished by the Omemee orches-
ira and if they had been willing to
keep on playing the dance would no
doubt be in progress yet, so satisfac-.

to that effect. He thanked the party
for past favors and also for the COM
vote he received in the con-
vention, but urged that Helgerson' s
be made unanimous,
which was done.
VIM. Freeman was nominated for
auditor by acclamation.
David Soucie had been placed on
the slate for clerk of the court, but on
the informal ballot received only 13
votes as against 40 for Wilber and 3S
for parkway. Mr.. parkway had tele-
phoned from Bottineau, requesting
that his name be kept out of the con-
vention. but the message was not re-
ceived in time to prevent his name
from coming up before that body.
When it was announced that he had
withdrawn, Mr.. WILDER was NOM
mated by acclamation. 1t is generally
conceded that parkway would have
been the nominee had he permitted
his name to he used on the first formal
ballot:
P. J. Scully was unanimously re-
nominated for county treasurer.
The next Office to be voted for was
that of states attorney. Creswell had
been promised the nomination if
Souris declared for him. He captured
that delegation by vote of two to
one and had every reason to expect
the nomination, after the encourage
ment he had received and the promises
made to him. The vote he received
showed plainly that they never in
tended to keep faith with him and the
republicans of Souris are hostile. 1t
must be said to the credit of Mr..
Bowen, however, that though. he
pro6ted by this treachery he was not
in any way party to it. The vote
stood Bowen 4s, Kirk 25, Creswell II,
Adams 7.
81 The informal vote on sheriff stood {:
Anderson 80, Peat IA, Romanson 8.
Hubbard 13, Clark 2, Alger 5, Milloy
4, Huber /, Blades 8. Milloy and
Blades withdrew in favor Of Peat On
the formal ballot Anderson had so,
enough to nominate; Peat had 25,
Hubbard 12. Romanson 4, Alger 2,
Nero 1.
Judge Lindberg was renominated by
acclamation.
Nels Wegner for public adminisrat-
Or. DR.. Johnson for coroner, Wells fol

received unanimous nominations. Fol

ct Geo. Olson and J. M. Watson were
candidates. The dilatory tactics OF
the chair is responsible for the defeat
of Olson. A Watson supporter moved
to dispense with the rules and nom
mate his candidate by acclamation,
but the Olson supporters demanded a
ballot. The chair ordered a rising
vote on the question. The vote stood
80 to 80 in favor of ballot. One vote
against the proposition to nominate a
candidate unanimously is sufficient
and the chair should have Immediately
declared the proposition lost. But time
was taken to count the vote on one side
and then on the other. This gave the
bosses a chance to skirlnish among the
voters and change enough of Olson
votes to nominate Watson. The vote
stood Olson Al, Watson 80. Olson (
