: : Mr.. Gle is one of Beach's meat
men-that is, he deals in meats,
and runs an up-to-date market.
Mr.. Gle was among those that filed
on a homestead a little over three
years ago, which he sold when he
opened his market, a year ago. He
is located on Blanche street where
he and his son, Milton, cater to the
wants Of the meat eating public.

HENRY SEM

He's the man that built the first
brick building in Beach and it is
hoped that others will follow.
The building was erected this year,
although Mr.. SEM has been in the
country for about two years-hold-
ing down a homestead. The build
ing is modern throughout, steam
heated and gas lighted, and is a
credit to a town. The first floor. is
used as a pool hall and soft drink
parlor, while the upper floor is
fixed up and rented as sleeping
rooms.

Beach, the Coming City
- And Metropolis the Best Farm Stock Country on Earth

The history of Beach is not very
long story, as the town was pract-
ically founded three years ago-in
the spring of 1905. There was a
siding here, water tank and sign
board, probably ever since the N.
P. was built to the coast, but a
town was never thought of until
the farmers commenced to people
the fertile country around.
What is now the Beach townsite
was included in the land that the
Missouri Slope bought from the
N. P. When this company sold out
Harry Hunter, one of it's men,
bers, reserved this piece of land as
a private holding. There was
much litigation over it and not
until January, 1905, were any lots
sold. In that year the majority of
the business firms started and,
strickly speaking, this was the
year that Beach was born.
Among those that reside here now,
the oldest resident is John David
son. He worked for the railway
company and resided on the Beach
townsite long before it was sur
veyed, in fact, when the land was
surveyed, Mr.. Davidson. could
have gone to the land office, filed
and made five year proof ON what
is the Beach townsite today. But
he like many others at that time,
consideted the land worthless and
did not care to throw away his
homestead right on such land.
Mr.. Davidson is still working for
the N. P. at this place and now
sees what a great opportunity he
let get away.
Aside from the railroad en-
ployes, we learn that Frank Heath,
our present postmaster, was the
first actual resident on the Beach
TOWNSHIP. He came here with his
family from Hebron in 1901 and
took charge Of the section house /;
the following year in October. the
Beach postoffice was established
and Mr.. Heath appointed post
master. In this year Nobe Stith,
who has since been called the dady
Of Beach and who is now at Ma
tional, New, erected the first
building. There were other build
ings put up, but nothing perman-
ent until the Pioneer Store was
built, which was also used as a
postoffice by Mr.. Heath. The town
site was then in litigation and lots
could not be sold but permits were
given to build. This kept people
back, but when the lots were put
on the market in 1905, the town
commenced to grow rapidly. Among
those that came in that spring
were: The Messrs. Ulhenlkott,
Henry Sunders, Christ label. Thos.
Kranick, Joe Morris, Fred Near,
and others. This was the year

JOHN MADISON

It isn't often that wrestlers go
into the we'll business, but this is
the case with John Madison, the
we'll known Golden Valley we'll
driller. He knows how to wrestle
with a we'll machine, and digs
wells while you wait for so much
per. He also handles the Aer-
motor windmill and can dig you a
we'll and equip it with a windmill
on short notice. He is from South
Dakota and formerly followed
wrestling as profession, and, now
and then, takes turn on the mat
when anyone thinks they can throw
him.

are at work at the dangerous turns of the
course placing signs of warning for the
benefit of the drivers who will compete
Arrangements nave been made to have the

The Quaker City rotor club has charge of

The course in Paramount park Is an IDEAL

bring out driver and car to the best ad-

the originally selected route have been
done away with and a few long stretches
substituted, minimizing as much as pos
sible the danger of accidents. The distance
around the course is eight miles, twenty
five laps to the course, and there will be
plenty of room for the thousands who will
flock to the park to witness the race.
The first car will start from Memorial
