MEETING
Beach is to Have a Creamery
That is the Sentiment
Expressed at the
Meeting.

AS advertised in former issue of the
Chronicle creamery meeting was held in
Beach at the fire house last Saturday after
noon. About fifty farmers and business
men were present and the advisability of
buying the creamery property here, which
is owned by the Golden Valley Land &
Cattle Co.. and open it up for business
was discussed.
The property can be purchased on very
easy terms for $4,000 or it can be leased
for 5000 year. C. 2. Barber was made
temporary president of the meeting and
Vince Wicka was made secretary.
A cooperative company will probably
be organized and the creamery rented or
purchased. committee was appointed to
take the matter up with the owners and ,efo
circulate subscription paper for stock.
The shares will be divided into $40 each
and no one party will be allowed to hold
more than five shares 1t depends largely
upon the success of the committee in get
ting the stock subscribed. If enough can
be sold the property will be purchased
outright. otherwise it would have to be
leased. One hundred-ffty to one hundred
sixty COWS were promised for the support
of the creamery by the farmers present
and no doubt that number could be greatly
increased. -
Il, There. are ptenty of farmers and cows
in the country to make a creamery here

farmers continue to support creamery

Severely Scalded.

The tea-year old daughter of ]. A. Barker
sustained severe injury to her face and
limbs the latter part of last week as the
result of jug of boiling water exploding
while she was in the act of removing the
cork.
Miss Barker, having attended school
during the day of the accident at the w
Bar ranch. was preparing to make her
usual drive home. and accordingly, filled
q jug with hot water to serve as foot
warmer. and, as we understand, the Jug,
after being filled with hot water, had been
placed on the stove wehre 1t became so ex-
ceedingly hot that it would not stand, the
pressure. Miss Barker realizing this fact,
tried to prevent the probable danger, by re-
moving the cork. and while trying to do
so the jug exploded, throwing the boiling
contents over her face and limbs, causing
extensive and deep bnrns
At the earliest convenience she was at

Ever since January 9th, when
q deal was made for the transfer
of the Chronicle property, trouble
had been brewing. Almost every
one in Beach expected something
to happen; all kinds of rumors
were in the air; some had it that
the writer was going to become
Roosevelt's or Taft's runLing
mate and had purchased the s.now
famous Chronicle for political
purposes; others said: ''He wants to
incorporate Beach into a city, be-
come mayor and run the town. :
Still others said that the writer
had fallen in love with Sentinel
Butte and was going to annex
Beach to our sister town as a
a suburb.
What we we're going to do with
the Chronicle became a great
mystery; nobody knew just what
was going to happen; rumors fol-
lowed rumors; the public became
interested, and tho ssinterested'
ones got others interested and
those who were not interested be-
came interested, and last Sunday
night a very interesting spow-

4 LEI TER

N. B. stith, Father of Beach,
Writes an Interesting
From Idaho to a
Beach Friend.

Murphy, ldano, Feb. z, 1905.
Mr.. Thomas Dunlap, Beach. N. D.
My dear Sir:-I don't know as you
expected letter from me until after had
gone to Oregon. but thot would write you
now and tell you what have heard Of that
country and what think Of this one.
My opinion in regard to Idaho is this: /
wouldn't advise any one to come here to
farm or to engage in any business except
mining or numbering. It never will be a
good stock nor farming country and only
ordinary for fruit.
The climate in this. the southern part of
the state, is fine. ten above zero being the
coldest we have had or expect to have.
4 But this country is desert and, with all
their reclamation and irrigation schemes.
they can make nothing else out Of it.
There isn't watd - (ssedgh. only in small and
st1vored localities. to soak up this sun baked.
lava soil where. apparently. the drying pro-
cess has been going on since the food.
wouldn't advise any one to come here
unless had grudge against them. and as
that is not the case will say. go farther
west.
Go to the Goose Lake and Wamer Valley
country in Oregon. have talked with
several parties here who were out there
last summer and are planning to move there
this coming summer. They that it is q
beautiful country. the soil = dark loan and
very fertile. that all kinds Of crops grow
with or without irrigation. vegetables are
abundant, fruits from the smallest to the
largest grow to the highest degree Of per-.
fection. grasses. both tame and wild, are a
never failing crop and the water isgood.
State and school lands sell at $3.50 per
acre, one-6fth down. balance on Eve years
time. Timber claims. homesteads and
desert claims Of the best kind can be filed
on: game such as bear deer. antelope. cou-
gar, wolves, coyotes. bobcats, fish. geese
and ducks is plentiful. The climate is
good enough for any one. not too cold in
the winter nor 100 warm in the summer.
The rainfall is from nineteen to twenty
seven inches. It's two hundred and fifty
miles east Of the coaA 90 they do not get
the heavy coast rains there.
II you or any Of your friends are think
ling Of leaving the cold and beautiful Gold
enIA|ley would advise you to 60 to
Wamsr Valley Lake vfew. Lake county.

Yours respectfully,
N. B, Stith.
