The question of quantity has been less

business, users of city water would have

Mr.: Littlehales is working to secure a
supply OF 900 to 10000 gallons per
day which would make it possible to en-.
courage the use of city water, whereas,
it has been necessary to discourage
would-be patrons. The water system
should be made to yield some return to
the city after paying operating expenses.
At present rates, 10000 gallons per day
would amount to $4,000 and less than
one.half this sum should pay expenses
which would leave a nice margin to the
city's credit.
Some have predicted that system of
shallow wells would prove inadequate in
dry weather but Superintendent Little.
hales says the flow is constant, dry or
wet weather not affecting it. The sand
caving has been the only real difficulty
and that will be entirely overcome in the
new system with proper casing.

''Tha lslttle Prospeetor"

The title Of this play is suggestive of
its character and composition. 1t is es-
sentially a Western drama and deals
largely with the characteristic phases of
cosmopolitan life in the mining camps of
the great west. We use the term cosmo-
politan advisedly, for practically every
race Of human beings is here represented,
all attracted to one common, by the mag
net of insatiate avarice, the great domi-
mating passion of the human heart, and
all joining with eager rivalry in the mad
hunt for gold. The many varied and
startling Complications which unavoid-
ably arise in such a heterogeneous COM
munity are faithfully interpreted by the
fascinating little actress, "Chic" Perkins
and select company of players, who
will be seen ut the opera house on Tues
|day, August s.

Of $4,000 Bushels and is Nearly
Completed. This City Head
quarters

The Lahart elevator located on the
north side of the new industrial railroad
yard in the western part of the city, is
nearing completion and looms up a
prominent landmark for a considerable
distance in all directions. The site is a
few hundred feet southeast Of what was
formerly the site Of the Dickinson farm
buildings.
4 The n. P. has been cutting down the
hill for its yard tracks in this locality
and some more cutting down will have
to be done in getting the spur to the new
elevator which is located in Young's 5th
addition.
T. E. Lahart now of Dickinson and
brother, J. w. Lahart, have elevators
at Jamestown, the home of the latter,
and in the northern part of the state.
The Dickinson elevator has capacity
of 5000 bushels and is built along lines
of permanency, with heavy cement sup
ports and footings. 1t has a very easy
approach; across the platform north is
the temporary Office which will be raised
to the level of the platform and nicely
finished and the scales will be placed
within,
Elevators of 10000 bushel capacity are
being erected at Belfeld and Beach,
which are also in charge of T. E. Lahart.
Mr.. Lahart is an experienced grain
buyer, having been in the business in
North Dakota almost continuously since
1886.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lahart are to have one
of the Hartung houses when completed
and in the meantime are rooming at the
Vaughn home.

MOTT TAKES GAME
Dickinson Lost First Game
Saturday, But Administered
Crushing Defeat to Visitors
Following Day

Two of the most interesting ball games
played here this season were those of
Saturday and Sunday. Mott was the
visiting team and they handed the local
fans surprise by winning the first game
by score of ? to 6. The game went 10
innings. This was the first game lost by
the local ball tossers this year and it was
no fault of theirs. They played hard,
scrappy base ball all the way through,
but were unable to bunch their hits on
Motifs big twirler, Sherdahl, who was
well supported in the field. Mott took
the lead the first inning and kept it. A
costly error by Motifs second baseman
made the game last another inning.
Smith pitched a strong game for
Dickinson but received rather poor sup
port from his catcher, Grady, new one.
SECOND GAME
The second game was a different
story. Mott made the mistake of plac-
ing Sherdahl, who did such good work
the day before, in the box against the
Dickinson sluggers. At the end of three
innings the score stood 10 and o in Dick
inson's favor. Then Puntenney, New
England's pitcher, was hustled into a
suit, Pring pitching one inning in the
meantime. After Puntenney went into
the box the locals made only one score.
Mott took brace and tailed three. 1t
is apparent there would have been a
much closer game if Mott had had a
better opinion of Dickinson's stick work.
Features of the game were a difficult
catch BY Little, Motifs left fielder, who
made long run, catching the ball

Howell was the Dickinson box artist
and he kept the visitors hits we'll
scattered. He was we'll supported by
Boltz behind the bat. Connolly caught
both games for Mott.
The following is the line up of the two
teams for the SATURDAYS game.

DIARRHOEA CURED.

possible to effect cure, without avail, }"
writes John H. Zirkle of Philippi, w. Va.
"He saw Chamberlain's Collie, Colera and

Philppi Republican and decided to try it.
The result is one bottle cured him and he
has not suffered with the disease for

years old, can do as much work as a
young man." For sale by all druggists.
