AT Grand Forks and Fargo the
land business is about wound up
and the Offices at these places are
soon to be abolished, according
to late Washington adviccs. 1t
seems odd, no doubt, to persons
living outside the state that such
should be the case, especially in
view of the fact that a new United
States land office was created at
Dickinson only last summer. 1t
shows, however, that North Da,
kota is a great state and that
while the lands of the Red river
valley have been taken up, the
lands of western North Dakota
have just commenced to be set
tied.

AGAIN it has been demonstrated
that the city needs a system of
water works, and it seems as
though it would be a good time
for our business men to agitate
the question and see if the city
council cannot be induced to do
something to the end of getting
the one thing that is needed to
make Dickinson the best city in
North Dakota. If we had water
works there would be a lot of fine
dwellings and business blocks
built the coming season that GER
tainly will not be constructed if
nothing is done in this line and
things are allowed to drag along
as they have in the past. Thu

Discovery Of Anthracite Coal.

Anthracite coal was first discovered in
1901, and during the same year the bust
ness of marketing this new commodity
was started. Today it represents an
industry of wonderful proportions. 1t
was in 1853 that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters was first introduced to the public,
and because it contained r u merit has
progressed so rapidly that for many
years it has occupied the first rank as a
family medicine. 1t positively cures
sick headache, heartburn, indigestion,
dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness, kid
ney ills, chil!s, colds and malaria. We
urge all sickly men and to try it
for it is we'll deserving of a fair trial.

BANK failures in North Dakota

BANK failures in North Dakota
are unknown of late years, and
the Iowa report that forty bank
ing houses had closed their doors
in the past year comes as a sur
prise. 1t is alleged that Iowa
people bought too freely OF high
priced land during the boom IN
realty a year or SO ago, involving
themselves to such an extent that
they could not meet payments,
in consequence of which some OF
the weaker banks failed. If these
land men had taken their money
to, western North Dakota and in
vested it in low priced land they
would not have lost their all, and
the banks would not have gone
into the hands of receivers.

Beech News,

Saturday evening Beach had its first
Christmas tree and it was a grand sue
cess. People from the east said they
had never listened to better music.
The exercises opened by a professional
in which fifty children took part. led by
Emil Paulsen, a little six-year-old. All
the pieces were we'll rendered. Every
child and each member of the choir
wore a branch OF mistletoe presented to
them by Mrs. J. D. Halstead and all
who entered passed under the mistle-
toe. This had been sent to Mrs. Hal
stead from Oklahoma. fourteen hundred
miles, to decorate the children of Beach.
The tree was a blaze of light, and very
beautiful. Nuts and candy were given
to each child present and sent to the
absent ones. Santa Claus was there to
see that all went home with arms full OF
presents. Fully 125 adults were in
attendance and about 60 children. Mrs
McKibbon showed her public spirit by
lending her piano for the occasion. The
weather was fine and people came for
miles around.

Christmas week in Wibaux.
