An Old Timer.

Frank Shero, who lives with his son,
Clarence, eight miles south of Beach, was
pleasant caller at the Chronicle office last
Saturday. Mr.. Shero is certainly an old
timer and was, without doubt, the first per-
son now living here to visit the Golden
Valley. He came here two years ago to
make his home with his son, but his first
visit here, was in 1875 when he was work.

the present survey thru the county. MIR.
Shero then lived in St. Cloud, Mimi,
and drove from there to Bismarck where
he joined the surveying crew which, with
the protection of about 1000 U. S. soldiers,
surveyed the present route of the N. P.

the Indians in which General Custer with
his small army Of men lost his life. MIR.
Shero is "a years old and is certainly an
interesting person to talk with. Here's
hoping MIR. Shero calls again.

Is not Dawson county able to build
schools for her children?
There is no question which interests the
people of Dawson county more than that
of school, especially the people in Wibaux
district No. 8.
AS fear wrong impression has been
gained by some in regard to this matter, [
will state few facts. The people of
Beach have good reason to think Dawson
county will not build schools for her child
rem as money has been asked of them to
assist in building school house in district
No. 6.
know the people of our sister state give
with good intent but am sorry Dawson
county should be made to look so small
To think that with all of its wealth it can
not build schools without begging money!
1t makes good ad for the land men who
wish to knock the price of land in Mon
tana and boost North Dakota.
Every dollar given us for school purposes
under the above circumstances, knocks the
price of land one-half in Montana In fact
land is not worth a gift without schools and
Dawson county is willing and wealthy
enough to build them. But this is a newly
settled county and school houses cannot be
built in day: neither can they be placed
conveniently for every one. People should
be satisfied with what is done for the best
of all concerned instead of wanting every
thing done just to suit themselves.
There is only one proper place to build
a school house and that is as near the CEN
ter of the district as possible. This is
justice to all ard until schools are built in
the proper places this civil strife will Still
go on.

To the People of the State of North Dakota:
Having announced my candidacy for the
Republican nomination for Congress at the
Primaries to be held on the last Wednes-
day in June, 1908, l hereby desire to make
known my position on the issues of the day
as see them
am in favor of the principles of protec-
ton of our industries and for reciprocity
with other nations. believe that the time
has come for the removal of the tariff on
lumber and for general revision of the
tariff schedules, and particularly in the re-
duction or removal of the tariff where its
only effect is to impose unnecessary bur-
dens on the public. l believe also that
there should be tariff commission, either
appointed by the President or elected by
the people. This commission to be anon
partisan one, whose duty it shall be to make
study of the question of tariffs. to meet
with men all over our country, represent
ing all interests and to annually or oftener
if called upon, make their reports as to their
findings and recommendation to the Presi-
dent and Congress of the United States.
Our Government has rightfully taken
hold of the great task of promoting irriga-
ton in our own State and in many of the
other western states. 1t would seem also
wise for them to take up the matter of drain
age. Many of these drainage projects are
so large that it is almost impossible for any
drainage district or small body of people to
handle or provide the necessary funds to
carry them through successfully. The large
drains should be built by the Government
and then the farmers along the lines of
these drains could run their laterals to
them with very small expense.
The question of finance is one which
confronts the American people very closely
today. l have believed and advocated for
long time that tax should be placed
upon the deposits af every bank in the
United States. to c1 eate 8 fund to secure
the depositers The legal reserves which
banks are required to hold should be made
at least 10 per cent greater than is now
required. National Bank currency and
all other kinds of currency or money should
be considered as legal reserve money and
allowed to figure in the reserves of banks.
At time like the present when this is writ
ten, November, 1907, it would seem wise
| for the Government to issue to the banks
asset currency. This currency to be gaur-
anteed to the government by pledge with
the government of $500 of the banks best
securities for every dollar of currency issu-
ed and the Government to guarantee to
the people the redemption of this asset
currency. To guard against imitation of the

romantic courtship of years length.

gents department of the Beehive Cash Store

Beach Again Defeated by the
Glendive Team Friday
Night-Billings Al
so a Victim.

The Beach basketball team was again
aggregation, here last Friday night by. a
score of 16 to 32. The hall here is very
low and small for basketball game, but
nevertheless a good game was played and
those present enjoyed the sport. AT the
beginning of the contest it looked as tho
the local team was going 70 defeat the Wis
1 itorss but at the close 81 the FIRST half the
score stood to 16, and in the second half
each side made the same number of scores
as in the first half. just doubling the score,
making it 16 to 32. The game was more or
less rough all the way thru but this was un-
avoidable on account of the small floor
space. and the referees took this into con-
sideration and called as few fouls as possible.
The local boys played much better game
than they did at Glendive aud with better
hall to practice in could get into much bet
ter form, while the visitors have had more
training and must be conceded a much fast
er bunch they were greatly handicapped
by being forced to play in such small quar-
ters, but took it good naturedly and proved
themselves to be gentlemen, every one and
the boys here only wish that they were able
to give them better game and had better
place in which to play.
The following composed the local team:
c. +. Smith and VIM: st. Jacque, forwards;
Reese Owens. center; Mike Power and ].
w. Brinton, guards.
The visiting team was composed of c..
Young and H. Burk. forwards; Will Hurst,
center; ]. Shute and A. Mack, guards; E.
D. LaRue. manager: ]. Strane, referee and
James Sample and Guy Lowe came along
as rooters.
A dance was given after the game and a
general good time was had by all present.
The Beach Orchestra furnished the music
and supper was served at the New York
at midnight.
On Tuesday the Glendive team defeated
the Billings aggregation by score of 20
to 50. This is the first defeat the Billings
team has met in twenty tygames. SO the Beach
boys do not need to feel badly over their
defeat as the Glendive bunch is certainly
a fast team and have proven themselves the
best in this neck Of the woods.
