the strain" The show probably took from
$3.50 to 5000 out of the town.

Judge Amidon of Fargo, Ap-

GEORGE MCCLELLAN
IS THE LUCKY MAN
Final Proofs Can Now Be
Made at Beach, Saving
Time and Expense.

AT last Beach is to have a U S. Com
missioner. Geo. Mcclellan the new real
estate and loan agent has secuted a COM
mission from Judge Amlon of the United
States Court at Fargo. ]. w. Foley, of
Me.lora, has been a U. S. Commissioner
for a number of years, but his commission
expired about a month ago leaving Billings
county without Commissioner. In view
of the fact that there is no U S. land
office business, to speak Of, transacted at
Medlora, the county seat, and MIR. Foley
not wanting re appointment it was thought
advisable to appoint someone at Beach,
as several petitions have been made here
tofore asking that an appointment is made
here MIR. Mcclellan is a very capable
man and the appointment has been we'll
placed. This appointment means great
deal to Beach and homesteaders who live
in this vicinity. All kinds of land office
business can now be transacted before Mr.
Mcclellan, such as filings, contests, final
proofs, etc, saving parties having business
with the U. s. land office the expense of
making tri., TO Dickinson and paying the
expenses of witnesses and attorneys.

Fourth was celebrated with due honcrs.
The gathering was large and the provisions
in proportion. The priest was also in at
tendance brought there by MIR. Joe MuSsil.
He expressed great pleasure at seeing his
people rejoice in the good old manner Of
the Fatherland. The rejoicings continued
until towards midnight when the crowd
gradually dispersed each to his own home

counted out little over S24o which will
be used for painting and improving the
church building.

1t Was Awful.

The ball game at Dickinson last Sunday
between that town and the locals was a
sham. Dickinson has not been beaten this
year and the Beach team was hopelessly
outclassed. The game finally ended with
the score % to 3. Next Sunday Beach
will go back to their old enemies Wibaux,
which seems to be the only town that they
can beat at baseball. They have already
beaten them four times this season, but
still Wibaux is not satisfied. The game
will be called at Wibaux at about 2:3o in
the afternoon.

BY this means no two crops are grown
on the same field twice. wheat is grown
every third year and each of the other
crops one year in six. If good seed is used
and one plot is manured every year to-
gether with thorough cultivation. this farm
ought to become more fertile and yield
bigger crops from year to year. Whether
this will become fact or not can only be
proxen by time. At least it will be very

Stock Thieves
Are At Work
Numerous Complaints Being
Made by Farmers South
and West of Beach.

John X. Tatley, of Carlyle, was at Beach
on Wednesday, Mr.. Tatley recently lost
three colts which he had reason to believe
were stolen. He suspected certain parties
and after severakweeks of riding located
them IS miles south of Marmarth. The
colts had been disfigured in the hopes of
changing their appearance enough SO that
their owner, or anyone else, would not
know them. Their ears we're slit, tails
pulled out and branded. 1t is hoped that
Mr. Tatley will prosecute the offenders.
There is any amount of stock kidnapping
and it is about time that something was
done.
Albert Schouboe, who lives in the vicin-
ity of Williams, also had six horses taken
from his place last Sunday night. He and
his neighbors got out and secured the coun-
try locating the horses Tuesday night in a
partys pasture south of Wibaux. ]. NJ.
thinner, of Burkey. also had COW stolen
from his premises which he later recover
en-, after the animal had been branded.
A Mr.. Rasmussen, who lives south of Mar
marth, also had six horses taken from his
place, while another man west of Preston
had two sucking. colts taken away from
their mothers in his pasture recently.

The Farmers Elevator Company held
their annual stockholders meeting at the
opera house last Tuesday. The stock was
we'll represented and after review Of the
years business was made an adjournment
was taken until July 2Sth. On this date a
detail statement will be rendered by the
secretary; they will also take up the cleo
ton of new officers and attend to any other
business that may come up. There is
some talk of changing the directors from
nine to five or three, and no doubt there
will be several amendments made to the
present bylaws. 1t is very important that
every stockholder attend this meeting.
The secretary will notify all stockholders
by mail.

To Open An
East Road
An Effort is being Made to
Get the Use of the N.
P. Rightaway.
Beach, N. d., July "a, 1905

Beach, N. d., July IA, 1908.
To ]. NJ Rapelfe, Supt. of the N. p. Ry.,
Glendive, Mont. ..
Dear Strive, the undersigned, resi-
dents of the vicinity of Beach. North Oak
ota, do respectfully request that we be
permitted to use portion Of the rightaway
of the N. p Ry., for the purpose of a
highway, lying south of the N. p. Ey.
fence across one quarter section directly
west of the new crossing one mile east OF
Beach, thereby saving us the necessity OF
crossing the N. p. Ry. tracts twice; also
crossing the tracts near the depot where
more or less switching is going ON the great
er part of the time, saving us a distance of
nearly mile travel in hauling our produce
to Beach.
The above is joint letter which has
been sent to the Superintendent of the
Northern Pacific at Glendive. The letter
explains itself. We have no road leading
to Beach from the east, except the one on
the SeCuOn line Il HALL I1lllc OF more norm
of the tract Farmers living east of town
and south of the tract are compelled to
come in from the south and climb the big
hill or else cross the tract and go north a
mile and then cross the tract again when
they get here The railroad company has
recently put in crossing on the section
line east of town and if they will give us
permission to use the rightaway we will
have fine level road leading to town from
the east. This is absolutely necessary as it
makes it very difficult for the farmers to
haul their grain over the big south hill.
The letter was circulated by our public
spirited citizen, Mr.. Barber. He has also
circulated petition and secured large
number of signers asking that strip of
land just south of the rightaway be con-
demned as highway. This petition will
be presented to the township board in case
the railroad company refuses to grant us
the use of their rightaway south of their
fence. The action of Mr.. Barber in try
ing to open up this road is commendable
as it means a great deal to Beach when
this road is opened.

Tax Levy Made and Other
School Business Tran
sacted This Week.
E.E. DICKINSON MADE
PRESIDENT OF BOARD
New School Building Will
Be Under Way in a
Short Time.

The school board met this week and
transacted lot of business. The bonding
issue having carried at the election last
week, application was made to the state
school department for the bonds which
will bear 4 per cent interest. The plans
furnished by the Fargo firm were accept
ed and the specifications sent for:
A $4,000 tax levy was made and levy
of $I8S.oo was made for the sinking fund
for the purpose of paying off the bond.
The proposition of consolidating the dis
trict came up and the petition of Fred
Powers, asking that the Halstad school be
moved to the southern part of the district
and the children in the vicinity of Beach
be conveyed to and from school, was acted
upon favorably. The Halstad school will
be moved to some point centrally located
in the southern part of the district, and all
children living north of the south line of
sections 10, II, ami IL will be carried in
suitable conveyance to and from school.
Four teachers were also hired. They
are: Miss Jessie Forsyth and Miss Hanson
for the primary and intermediate grades
at Beach; Miss Cora Boardman for the
Brown school and Miss Doherty for the
Richardson school. The principal for the
Beach school has not yet been engaged
but several applications are before the
board.
This was the first meeting of the new
board and E. F. Dickinson was made presi-
dent and Henry Feldhusen clerk for the
ensuing year,

Death of Mrs. Whitney.

I'VE saw not the lift of the curtain
Nor heard the invisible door,
AS they passed where lifes problems I'M

To mark new sorrow and loss"
