GOSSIP,

A movement is on foot TO form a
rowing association to be known as the
Central States Rowing association.
The promoters have already secured
the membership Of Chicago, Peoria,
Quincy. Hannibal Keokuk and Bur
llngton. Tho organization has been
completed by the election Of G.. l.
Hcrmsdurfer Of Quincy ILL.,, as prosi-
dent, and the headquarters will be in
that city. It is proposed to revive
the old spirit OF rowing that formerly
existed In the river valley. The Up
per Mississippi Valley Rowing associ-
alton was productive of much pleas
ure and profit to the members, but
the interest died out in time. and
nothing has since been done in the
way Of aquatic sports on the upper
river. outside OF purely local boating
events Since then many clubs have
been formed for water pastimes, and
numerous swift sail boats ply the
river at every point Motor boats are
also growing I'm number aud this in

spirit that pervaded the rowing asso-
citation, and there is little doubt that
the new organization will become an
important and permanent adjunct to
the outdoor life of the people Of the
upper river. When the proposed wa
ter power dam at Kookuk, Ia, is con
structed II will raise the level of the
river nearly 40 feet at that point, and
will consequently back up the river
to a point about one mile north Of
Burlington. This will form an i'm.
mense lake "A miles long and several
miles wide i'm some places. This will
be one of the finest bodies Of water In
the upper valley, and will be most ad-
mirabe for boating and rowing. II is
believed the region will partake much
Of the nature Of a watering resort
and will attract thousands of summer
visitors. In this case the proposed
rowing association will be one of the
most popular and important organiza-
tions for outdoor sport in the west

BUYS LAND
Clark Ranch Now Prop
erty Of Wm. Holton Dye

The famous A. B. Clark ranch on
Tongue river, some 90 miles south of
Miles City, is now the property of Wm.
Holton Dye Of Dickinson and Indian
apo!is.
The ranch comprises 10000 acres,
1000 acres of which are under irrigation
and 6ooo acres more are ready for the
ditch. Mr.. Dye owns his own water
ditch. The price paid for this land was
about $40 per acre, and the present
owner confidentially expects to see it
advance in price to $50 or $40 per acre
within few years.
A. B. Clark, the originator of the
Miles City horse sales, died last year,
leaving the handsome estate which has
just past into the hands OF Mr.. Dye.
Mr. Dye has been dealing extensively
in wild lands in western North Dakota
and eastern Montana the past few years,
and just last week sold township north
Of Glendive at 81 per acre, the same
land having been purchased by him two
or three years ago at s. per acre:
Mr.. Dye left for Indianapolis on
Wednesday, expecting to return to
Dickinson in about ten days.

Col. Aft. White

The Glendive Review in speaking of
the advancement of G. B. Haynes, says:
Mr.. Haynes owes his appointment to
this important position to Alfred White,
formerly round house foreman at Dick
inson, but now superintendent of motive
power for the Copper River & Northern
railroad. Mr.. White is one of the best
known men along the Northern Pacific
and was somewhat celebrated because
of the fact that, though presumably
worth couple of hundred thousand
dollars, he still held for long time his
job with the road at Dickinson at a
salary of about $40 month. Mr..
White is, in fact, natural money.

which is exclusively used by the North
ern Pacific, and which pays him first
class income.

1t was during the early part Of July,
1905. that Miss Hardin, then on n visit
to Louisville. called up II. r. Hughes,
secretary Of the Commercial club, and
suggested homecoming week. 1t was
her first visit to Kentucky for long
time, and so overjoyed was she to be
