PLACES
Rev. F. L. Watkins Of Washburnn
and Rev: +. VI. Gfe.. of.this !
City to Succeed Each Other
81, 4 as Methodist Pastors.

The new pastor for st Pa1l's Metho.
dist Episcopal church was ANNOUNCED al
the Jamestown! conferences Monday morn mo-
ind when alI the ,appoiinnfttnhssnibbs ', were
read by Bishop Wilson. The Dickinson
church was assisne.dtR Rev. !, I Watkins,
who has been for the past year at Wash
burn. 4.
The appointment came as q surprise to
local Methodists for it was specifically
understood that n of the three minis
tiers mentioned by the Press last week.
Rev. j. DeLons Of Fargo, Rev. E. F.
Beer Of New Rockford and Rev. c. A.
Mcnamara of Lisbon would be assigned
to Dickinson. These three mon were
considered but at the last minute pres
sure was brought to bear and changes
made. The Broadway church OF Fargo
wished to retain MI. belong and the
people at New Rockford wantedM Beer
another year. The conference had
another plan for Mr.. McNamaara and
made him state Sunday school superin-
tendent. He will continue in his pre-
sent parish until April 1, when, he will
take up his new work which will send
him all yer the state, but more especi-
ally west of the Missouri, engaged in
organizing Sunday schools and churches.
His headquarters will be at Bismarck.
Accordingly late Saturday arrangements
were made whereby Rev. F. L Watkins
of Washburn and Rev. F. w. Gress of
Dickinson were to exchange places. Mr..
Watkins will COME here and Mi. Gress
will 60 to Washburn. This arrangement
will be especially pleasing for both are
familiar with conditions in the Slope
country. Mr.. Watkins was transferred
from the Iowa conference a year ago and
had been five years at one place in that
state previous to coming to North Da-
kota. He is an excellent speaker and a
man whom everyone likes. He has q
wife and one son. They will arrive in
Dickinson next week. Mr.. Gress will
oficiate for Mr.. Watkins here Sunday
and Mr.. Watkins will take Mr.. Gress'
place at Washburn. Mr.. Gress and
family will leave this city about Friday
of next week.
Other appointments in this vicinity
are Rev. J. E. Mckinney at Hettinger,
Rev. E. E. Strewry at Mott, Rev. w. H.
Thomas at Taylor and Gladstone.

0h~ipwrseks and Courts Martial.
The custom Of holding courts martial
In the British navy after every case, Of
shipwreok has q surious origin. II
1T41 the Wager, one Of Commodore
Anson's vessels, was wrecked or the
coast Of Chile, most Of the crew being
saved. The men and some Of the jun,
Tor officers held that they were nd
longer amenable to discipline because
their pay ceased with he wreck, but
the captain, whose name was Davy
Cheap, differed, treated them 10 mutt
neers and shot enc Of his midshipmen
He was then deposed, and most Of the
crew made OF In three Of the boatS
Later when It was proposed to proceed
against the so called mutineees the law
officers Of the crown decided that the
men had been correct In their view.
This discovery led to the framing Of
section 81 Of the articles of war, which
provides that in the case Of shipwfeck
destruction or capture by the: enemy q
ship IS held to remain In commissions

SIN Wyomins.'

In Wyoming at the opera house
Saturday evening, proved a surprise in
every way to the good sized audience
present. In the first place, while it was
a drama of western life. not a shot was
fired. The general expectation was that
it would be a play of no more than
ordinary merit, but it turned out to be
one of the best attractions thus far this
season.
AS a play of western life, it holds a
place similar to that which Way Down
East has in the portrayal of the types
of down eastern characters. The plot
has a resemblance to others of the same
type but the story is catchy and contains
several extra good situations. The cast
was in the hands of competent people.
the only criticism being that they were
hardly equal to the last act which
required more than average professional
talent to make it a hit.
The action of some of the gallery gods
during the last act, was. most disgrace
full. The management of the opera
house should profit by Saturday nights
experience and avoid a recurrence of the
disturbance by the use of sufficient
police in the gallery. This will be
especially necessary when they offer to
he public a play like the opening at
traction next month, THE Great
Divide" a play which abounds in the
most dramatic situations and moments
of tense interest, when such proceedings
as Saturday evening will completely
ruin the effect of this wonderful drama
of western life and spoil the whole play
for those in the audience who can ap-
The Dickinson press., 1908-10-24

preciate such acting as they will see at
that time.
The company presenting In Wyoming
included several especially capable ac-
tors, in particular, Cecil Kirke as Bob Rick
etts. a hero after the Virginian type but
not nearly as strong Elsie Dunsmore as
Jennie Summers, the eastern school
teacher, also a part similar to the school
teacher in THE Virginian, and Nelson
Leavitt as Steve Gordon, a villain
different from the cut and dried part in
most such plays and a character which
by a single remark at the very close
of the play wins the sympathies of the
whole audience. In character work
Frank Patton as Hank Jones made a
telling hit.

a pass should he be reelected. He said
he certainly wouldn't have the chance
to accept when he was no longer COVER
nor.
The speaker then went into details of
the meeting of the board of equalization
last year when he was accused of voting
not to raise railroad assessments after
urging such action before his election.
He said that this phase of the campaign
was being greatly misrepresented by the
other side and it was the first time he
knew that n democrat was stronger
than four republicans, and that one vote
might have saved the day.
In speaking of the law enforcement he
defended all his actions and said if re-
elected he would not recede one iota
from his present stand and he felt in
that case he would have the support of
the officials and the people, for the
sentiment of the law enforcement was
marching on.
At the close Of the governors speech
a reception was held on the stage, a
large number remaining to shake hands
with the governor. This part of the
program was made an enjoyable social
event by the ladies Of the P. E. O..
society. who served everyone with hot
coffee and fancy cakes. A table had
been dainty arranged in the rear of the
stage and the members Of the club as
sisted in pouring and serving the light
refreshments.

After the reception at the hotel. the
people walked across tod. F. Olmstead's
dance hall where things were busy until
about 2 80 q. m. Good music was fur
nished by Mi. and Mrs. ]. q. Cray on
the violin and piano and everybody
danced in the good old Medora fashion.
Fully 200 people danced or were in the
hall and Mr.. and Mrs. Ferris were always
surrounded by groups Of friends who
wanted to add something to their former
good wishes for health and success in
their new home.
Mr.. Ferris settled in Medora ~ years
ago coming from Canada in 1881 and
Medora has been his home ever since.
He has always conducted a general store
and has been postmaster for the biggest
part Of Billings county. To many Of
the people the Ferris family were con-
sidered nearly as permanent as the hills
that surround the historic little village
and to lose them will be like going home
and finding the house locked. On the
other hand it is very hard for them to
leave so many staunch friends In Bill
lings county,. but if the good wishes of
their acquaintance will be of any
assistance they will surely prosper at
their new home in Sidney, Mont.
Mr.. Ferris will conduct a general store
at Sidney and the family expects to be
moved and settled this week. A. D.
Ferris will remain in Medora until a
good share of the present store stock is
disposed of and some one is appointed
to take charge of the p~ostofice.

RAILROAD
PROSPECTS
Continued from page y

Hettinger the 9o-by. In fact a road
which would take in these places is
not considered feasible, and the engi-
ner will recommend to the club still
another route. which, while longer, has
advantages over even the Lennon survey.
The principal fault with going to Lem
mon is on account of the poor water
supply there. i.
The other route is about 100 miles in
length and after leaving Mott, swings
southeast to Mcintosh, a division point
on the Milwaukee. In this way the
country north Of Lennon, which is
rather rough, would be avoided. The
country from Mott to Mcintosh is very
flat and rich ag~riculturally and a road
there would open up an immense amount
of business.
1t may be that it will be several years
before there is a road from Dickinson
to the Milwaukee but a road to Mott, at
least, seems possible in the ear future.
The best part of the country over the
proposed route, lies between Dickinson
and Mott. In speaking of this country,
Mr.. White said that he was surprised to
see how rich it was from an agricultural
standpoint. Almost every bit of land is
occupied and by permanent homesteaders
who have built good substantial homes
and farm buildings and are c~ultivating
nearly all of their land possible. The
freight business which such a road would,
secure, would be enormous and q good
passenger traffic would also ensue.
The people of Mott are most anxious
to have the road built and it will not
come too quickly for them. In fact, all
along the line, more especially between
here and Mott, the property owners are
very enthusiastic and in most cases
stated that they would donate q right
of way over their land to the Commercial.
Club railroad, just to have it built.
There would be no trouble in the matter
Of securing right of way and everything
looks like an early solution of the prob
