Neither Dwyer nor Smith needed the
advice that was offered to Them Smith
lasted short time only. after dis
carding the advice to "be natural"
and Dwyer is ''out of it, for all time.
Riley Grammar was like Dwyer and
Smith in imperturbability. and he, too,
broke down, though possibly not from
the same cause. None of the three was

Smith refrained from using tobacco

More money passed through Dryers
hands in the form of winnings and
losings than has passed through the
hands of any other betting man in the
history of the American turf. 1t has
been estimated that the aggregate was
not less than $1O,OO0,O0O in the twenty
seven or twenty-eight years that he
was a prominent racing figure. Many
of his methods were essentially diff
ferent from those of either Grammar
or Smith; the greatest difference be-
ing, perhaps, that while they were
always looking for "long Shots
Dryer often took the short end.
1t has been published repeatedly
that he once bet $50, 900 against $4,000
on Joe Cotton. A variation of the
story placed the figures at $4,000 to
$4,000. The real figures were $4,000
to $4,000. On that day he had lost
more money than he fancied, and so
gave orders to his commissioners to
bet enough to win $4,000 at least.
Working independently they accom-
plished double the result he asked
for, but at such odds as made his
friends gasp.

There are spendthrifts today and
there are plungers today, but it does
seem to the old-ti,ner that they are
not to be classed with some of those
whose money burnings and plungings
used to occupy most space in the
newspapers.
Whitley" Langdon, who, after a
dozen years of bad luck, won for
tune in a minute lost it. but got it
back again last year at Belmont Park:
Bob" Davis and Frank England, who
started with nickels and won 100000
in 1905; "Davy" Johnson, who only
recently went broke" again-these are
all plungers of sufficient Importance
to warrant being mentioned in other
parts of the paper than the, sporting
page every once in a while. And there
are John w. Gates and his partner.
John A. Drake and. until he was
killed in the English railway wreck at
Salisbury, there was Jack Mcdonald,
who was said to have lost 100000 be-
fore sailing on the trip that cost him
his life. But where are the NJ. F.
Dryers, the "Pittsburg Pills." the
"Plunger" Waltons and the Riley
Grannans? Not to be found on the
turf today.
Pittsburg Phil died last year. Riley
Grammar Is rarely heard of now,
neither is "Plunger" Walton. Dwyer,
paralytic, will never get on his feet
again. Each of these men differed
markedly from all the others, yet they
all had something which the plungers
of today do not seem to possess, and
their likes will not soon be seen
again.
Their "IlilliDg'' Nerve.
All race track plungers have one
characteristic in common; the sort of
nerve that enables them to bear de-
feat and accept the gifts of good and
bad fortune with equal imperturba-
bility, neither scowling when the fates
are against them. nor jumping about
and shouting for joy when things are
coming their way.

would surely pay for his continuous
smile, which changed not whether he
won or lost; that unless he gave way

constructed a region for their own
pleasure they could not have sur
passed the handiwork of nature in
this region. The crops are the best
that have been found so far, the gen.
eral opinion being that they will
average not less than twenty bushels
with possibility of going beyond that.
The Towns.
The first town is Bantry and its
prosperity shows the character of the
country supporting it. 1t is new be-
ing but one year old. 1t has two
banks. three lumber yards, five eleva-
tors, three general stores and the forth
one in process of construction, with
town hall above, two supply houses,
and two hardware stores. In addition
it has one TO the brightest little papers
to be found in the state, owned and
edited by Oscar R. Fisher, who is
also engaged in the grain business
at this point. 1t is all home print,
bright, crisp and newsy. The enter
prising publisher supplied copies to
the members of the party and joined
then to Maxbass.
upham is town of something like
four hundred with a full equipment of
banks and with some splendid stores
and business houses. The town is in
the famous Deep rive country and is
moving forward at rapid rate. 1t
boasts of the Upham Star, splendid
paper owned and edited by L. w.
Pierson.
Deep is small town named in hon
or of the celebrated river which has
given its name to this territory. It
is small but in territory which is
destined to make it a good farming
town.
Beyond is MELVILLE with bank,
several stores and general spirit of
progress and prosperity which is al
most infectious even to the members
of the party.
The Only Maxbasx.
The terminus of this line is Maxbass,
the namesake of the man who has done
more than any other to populate North
Dakota with good people. 1t is a
town OF three hundred people, has two
banks, four general stores and two
hardware stores. 1t was founded July
4, last year, and is growing rapidly.
new hotel will soon be built as well
as a number of residences, the latter
being the seeming need of the town
at this time. AS one of the business
men put it they first built the business
houses and then got the business and
now having these two they will build
the residences. The truth is that the
business of the town is sufficient to
support several times as much popula-
ton as the town now has.
The people along this line and at
Maxbass are close seconds of the
southerners in the way of hospitality,
and at every stop on the line the
crowds were out to bid the members
of the party welcome to the town and
to extend courtesies it was possible

one which yet stands and which he
pointed out, being regarded the half
way point between Tower and the
river, the rest of the country being
vast wilderness so far as farms were
concerned. The ranchers were of the
opinion at that time that the entire
region would never be of any value
as an agricultural country because
it would be impossible to find water
in anything like reasonable depth.
Yet as matter Of fact it is found in
abundance and of the finest quality at
a depth of not more than hundred

capital and energy. George Mclean
at Sarles is doing business of this
kind and will handle this year in this
manner some thing like 100000
bushels. The elevators handling the
grain in this manner are designated as
bonded warehouses. They afford a
convenient market for the Canadians
near the towns in which they are To-
Gated. and while the grain is handled
at Canadian rather than American
prices, the plan will stop to large
