Willard House.

During the past week Berringer Bros.
closed deal for the Willard house prop
erty at sum a very little less than
$4,000. The Berringers had long
lease of the property, subject to sale,
and when they found that local parties
had offered $1,000 for the west half of
the property they thought it necessary
to buy in order to protect themselves.
The new owners have no intention of
putting in meat market in the building,
and so far as they know now there will be
no change of occupancy of the premises
this year.
5: The Willard hotel was erected by C..
H. Klinefelter in 1883, and in 1853 when
Mr.. Klinefelter was building the present
St. Charles hotel, then an opera house,
he sold the property to the Strauss family
Of Bismarck for $1,000. which was con-
sidered large price for 50 feet frontage.
It proved good investment for the
aforesaid owners. For nine years the
property rented for S15o per month,
since which time the rent has been s175 a
month.
Heretofore Berringer Bros. have had
large herds of cattle on the range, but
they seem to think that at the present
time Dickinson property is better in
vestment. They certainly have a. splen-
did piece of property and have already
declined an advance of nearly $1,000
over the price paid.

The Moral Aspects of the
Drama.

There is no play worthy of the name
that is not educational and instructive
in its tendencies, that does not abound in
good and healthful influences and that
does not have as its ultimate object the
advancement of truth and virtue and the
discontinue and overthrow of falsehood
and vice. But then play should amuse
as we'll as instruct and be literally sea-
soned with the salt and pepper of wit
and humor to give it zest and pungency.
Now no one possesses these two requi-
site condiments in a more unstinted
measure than does that cute little repos-
itory of fun known as "Chic" Perkins,
nor is there anyone better versed in the
art of dispensing them in judicious
manner. This merry little lady, sup
ported by highly capable company,
will appear in her new and original play
in four acts, entitled "The Little Pros
pector,' story of mining life in the far
west, at Dickinson, on Monday, August s.

The board checked up the treasurer's
and auditors books and found them cor
rect.
A petition was received from the vot-
ers and residents of townships 13o and
14o, range 100, asking that public high
way be laid out on the following section
lines: beginning at the southwest corner
of section 3I-I3o and I4o-Ioo, thence east
to the southeast corner of section 36.14o-
100; also the section line beginning at
the northwest corner of the NE4 of Sec
ton 32-14o 100, thence east to the north
east corner of section 36-I4o-1oo, thence
south along the county line to the south
east corner of section 36-14o-1oo. The
petitioners Sixteen actual settlers) asked
that these lines be opened because of
the fact that some settlers along the lines
are fencing in the section lines, in spite
of protest and making it impossible for
other settlers to get to and from town.
BY vote of the commissioners, the
above roads were declared open to the
public and that parties now having
fences on said lines be instructed by the
county auditor to remove same and upon
default of compliance with said order
that the county attorney be directed to
take the necessary steps to compel the
carrying out of this order.
On motion, the board directed that all
moneys remaining in the Live Stock Pro-
lection fund be transferred to bridge
fund to be divided equally among the
commissioners district.
The following bills were presented and
allowed and warrants ordered drawn:
Dr.. L. B. Baldwin, superintendent OF
hospital for insane, bill for balance due
for care of F. E. Trotter, c. E. Clark and
John Johnson, $4,000; ]. B. Stoddard,
services as county commissioner and
mileage, s1o.5o; F. E. Gorham, same
Sl3.2o.
On motion, the board adjourned tc

Dickinson Business Col.
leqe.

Supt. L. RAIDER and D. L. McCollum
have arrangements we'll under way for a
business college, which will be located in
this city this fall.
Articles of incorporation have been
filed by Mr.. and Mrs. RAIDER and Mr..
McCollum and the company will be
known as the Dickinson Business col
lege, with capital stock of $1,000.
Supt ;Rader will have considerable to do
with the business management, but Mr..
McCollum, formerly from Missouri and
an expert in his line of work will be the
principal instructor and have charge of
the work in the school.
There are to be three distinct courses,
viz: Commercial, stenographic and pen
art course. The work in each course
will be made to conform very closely
with that of the best business schools in
the country. The pen art course is
something out of the ordinary in the line
OF penmanship and, at the present time
there are only six business colleges in
the country that handle this branch Of
work. e
The college quarters will be located in
the upper story of the new Soules &
Butler building on Willard street. The
company has secured fve-year lease of
the second story, which is 25x8o feet and
will be arranged especially for the COL
lege quarters. When fully equipped,
the building will accommodate one hum
dred students and the instructors are
perfectly capable of handling that num-
Der.
For several years students have been
going from this city and the surrounding
country to the cities east to take Just
such courses as the Dickinson Business
college will handle and there is no doubt
as to the success of the new enterprise
under the careful management of Messrs.
RAIDER and McCollum.
Besides the regular day session, the
college will arrange classes for number
of students who may receive instruction
in the evening.
AS yet no soliciting has been done,
but the proprietors of the new enterprise
have received over thirty applications.

THE'NEW DEPOT
Contract to be Let August
z. Time Limit, Nov.
IS. Dickinson Brick
Likely to Be Specified.
Home Comp a ny NJ q y
Get Contract. Location
North and West Of Old
Building.

Developments the past week indicate
that President Elliott of the Northern
Pacific meant just what he said in the
spring when he wrote the Dickinson
Commercial club that new depot had
been ordered for the city and that in
structions had been given to have it com.
pleted before winter.
For the past week plans and specifica-
tions have been in the city for this hand
some new structure and next Wednes-
day the contract is to be awarded, the
time limit being placed for November Il,
an exceedingly early date for so large
structure.
The structure is to be of brick or
stone, preference being expressed for
Dickinson facing brick. Samples have
been expressed to St. Paul from both the
Dickinson Fire & Pressed Brick Co. and
the Missouri Slope Brick & Tile CO.
yards, and if the price and quality suit
the Northern Pacific architect, the mate
rial from the Dickinson yards will be
specified.
The Northwestern Building Co. of this
city is preparing bid for the depot and
it is hoped that the home company will
secure the contract.
The location of the building is under
stood to be practically the same as was
announced in the PRESS several weeks
ago, namely in the space between the
old depot and Willard street and farther
west toward Barnes street, with park
ground both east and west.
So far as can be learned, the plan is to
have an east and west freight yard, but
just where the freight and wool ware
houses are to be located is not settled.
Already tracks in the south yard are
being taken up and the past week Road
master DAILY has been having new
tracks laid west, south of the old Dickin-
son farm. 1t may take a number of
years to get the re-arrangement of tracks
and yards completed, but the work is
being laid out on large scale and will
be similar to that found at the larger
terminals.
What is used as the house track now
will eventually be used as the main track,
which would seem to indicate that the
company is looking forward to the re-
moval of warehouses now on the right of
way.
Dickinson's new depot will have most
substantial appearance, finished Though.
! out with hardwood. 1t will be 16o feet
in length. The main part of the struc-
ture will be 6ox4o feet, with two stories,
and the east and west wings will be 32x5
feet. The east wing will Be occupied as
baggage room and express office. The
west wing will be used for bakery and
kitchen with lunch room and counter
arranged similar to the depot res
taurant in Fargo and other large cities.
In the main part. the general waiting
room will be about .3ox3o feet with a
ticket office, bay-window style. The
ladies' parlor, the. gentlemen's smoking
room. toilets and lavatories are also
located on the first floor.
The second story of the main structure
has been set apart for the offices of yard
general telegraph office.

BACK FROM EUROPE
Head Of Harvester Concern Talks OF
Trade Conditions.


NEW YORK, October 8.-Cyrus McCor-
mick. head OF the international harvester
concern bearing his name. has just re-
turned from a business trip to Europe.
When asked yesterday as to the general
trade conditions in Europe. he said: From
an AGRICULTURAL implement standpoint the
situation Is satisfactory. although the har-
vests in Roumania, central and southern
Russia and parts of Hungary and Italy
have been somewhat disappointing. While
American manufacturers Of harvesting
machines are making most gratifying
progress In the worlds markets. they are
badly handicapped by the unfavorabie tar
III restrictions of many foreign nations.
II fair reciprocal trade agreements could
be negotiated between the United States
and the leading foreign nations 1t would
give q tremendous impetus to the for
eign trade Of American manufacturers"
1.-THE statement Is frequently made on
the stump and elsewhere that our harvest
ing machines are sold more cheaply
abroad than at home, but that is abso-
iutely false" said Mr. Mccormick, "as a
most casual investigation will show"
AS to the trust agitation Mr.. McCor-
mick said: II do not think there need be
any great alarm over our governments
attitude toward the large corporations
While there may result temporary and
individual cases Of hardship. in the end
the effect of careful. honest. wise and
prudent control Of these large cooperative
interests by the federal authorities can
not but be helpful. In the end the con-
must be all the greater If the foreign In
weston is assured by the highest power
of this land that we are doing our bust
ness on correct principles.
