avenue. inspired perhaps by the Goddess
of Wisdom. whose name his thoroughfare
bears, as well as his natural gallantry,
proclaims that no woman should be al
lowed to stand In public conveyance
where men are seated. He has issued
1000 true blue buttons to be worn by
men as a pledge to give up their seats to
women.
Appreciative members Of the latter sex
are urging the presidents of local wom-
ems clubs to issue a white button with
the words Thank YOU to be worn by
their sex accepting the courtesy. With
the issuance of the blue button comes
this inquiry:
..Are YOU a gentleman? Are you will

who is standing in a street car? If you
are YOU may wear the A. r. Stafford true

trade in a commercial way. He had been
brought up among orchards, and not
only had considerable experience. but
president Of the Illinois state board Of
horticulture for several years. He was
also q member Of the Illinois state senate.
Mr.. Steward came out here accident
ally, and in looking over the ground i'm.
mediately recognized the superior quality
Of the fruit and saw the possibilities. He
bought a quarter section of land set put
l4O acres of pear and apple trees and
recommended everybody to go into the
business. The development was slow for
being shipped to San Francisco. Port
land and other markets on the Pacific
coast, but occasionally a box of apples
or pears was sent to Australia or China
and few found their way across the
mountains to Chicago, New York and
Boston.
Acres Of Apples and Pears.
The business did not assume anything
like it's present Importance until five or
six years ago. but now there are $4,000
acres in apples and pears. averaging sew
enty pear trees and 80 apple trees to the
acre. in the immediate vicinity Of Med
ford. There are at least 100000 unoccu-
pied acres suitable for fruit growing in
the NUSue HlVcT valley, ana tney are
being taken up at the rate of 12,OOO acres
a year.
The planting of apples and pears is
about even. and the two fruits pay
equally we'll. Apples are more certain
crop; the pear trees yield larger quanti-
ties. and the fruit sells for high prices
There are many large orchards. much
larger than are found in any other sec
ton of the state. but most of the farmers
limit themselves to forty acres, which is
"a one-man orchard" as the saying goes
That is, one man can cultivate forty acres
of fruit without assistance, except in
picking time; but If he attempts more
than that he Is compelled to hire help,
and then his troubles begin. Labor is
very scarce, uncertain and unrel able;
wages are very high. and If the owne g
house is small, ii Is usually inconvenient
to furnish bed and board for q hired
man. The advice of experienced frt-it
growers Is either to keep within forty
acres, or else go into the business on q
large scale. sufficient to justify the en-
ployment of a gang Of men and the MAIN
tenance of a large plant.

BANK CASE DECIDED
FOR plaintiff

Judge W. C. Crawford this week
handed down a decision in the case of
the Merchants National bank vs. the
county of Stark through it's treasurer,
John Riessbeck. which favors the bank.
The action is one asking the county,
through it's treasurer, to show cause why
he should not be prevented from depos-
iting money according to the vote of the
county commissioners at their annual
meeting last January. 1t was alleged
that the state laws were not obeyed in
several respects, one that the bids for
depositaries were not advertised before
they were awarded.
The case is one that has attracted
considerable attention all over the state.
While the case was brought in the name
of the Merchants National. three other
banks of the county were interested /;
namely. the Dakota National, the Bel
field State and the Richardton State.

R0SEnEAU HOUSE
DAMAGED BY fire

Fire was discovered Tuesday morning
at about E 80 in the Fred Rosen eau
house on Fifth avenue west. The flames
were mostly in the basement and
apparently started in the kindling pile
near the heating plant. The firemen
had some difficulty in locating the
house. as there are a number of Rosen-
eau families in the city.
The damage from fire and smoke. the
breakage of furniture. etc., will pro-
badly figure up to several hundred dol
lars, fully covered by insurance. Mr..
Roseneau, acting night foreman at the
N. P. round house, was not due at his
home until O'Clock and his wife had
spent the night at the home of her
bro ther- -ln-law, Otto Roseneau, on
First avenue west, having made plans
to attend to some washing there during
the forenoon. Some of the neiehbors of
Fred Roseneau thought that they heard
the noise of breaking glass at late
hour Monday night. The glass in the
front end of the house was broken out,
apparently from the inside. but it does
not seem probable that there was heat
enough to have caused the breakage.
How the fire started is a mystery.
Spontaneous combustion and the en-
trance of tramps are two theories that
have been advanced.

What ONE HAS DONE IN
NORTH DAKOTA IN 7 YEARS

The progress made by E. H. Define.
one of the Bad Lands ranchers, during
his seven years in this part of the
country, is good example of what
one may accomplish if he has the deter
mination and the ambition. Mr.. DEFINE
recently sold his ranch and horses to r.
c.. Davis and Thomas Manion of Belfield
at $100 round.
This successful rancher came here
years ago and started in the ranch
business with $3.50. He was in the
sheep business for years and then sold
out and bought horses, selecting only
picked stock. mostly young mares. He
now retires from business, having made
his stake.
After spending month in Belfeld
Mr.. DEFINE will 60 to South Dakota
with his family for a short stay. He
owns property there which he will sell
and then leave for his old home in Wis
consin. He intends to return to North
Dakota again as he thinks it is the
best place to make money

Sells-Floto circus Monday were the world
famous Armour Greys. six horses, as
near perfect in every way as it is pos
sible to secure. Each animal was a
magnificent creature and the whole: six
were handsome sight.
The interest in these horses is in
creased in this part of the country when
it is known that two of them were
raised on the Slope. on the old Huide-
koper or H T ranch. The team was
selected from all parts of the country by
a representative of the Armours. He
heard of the fine horses the Huidekopers
were raising and came out to see them
with the result that he selected two for
a part of the team.

BISHOP STANLEY
DIES SUDDENLY

The news of the sudden death of Rt
Rev. John Stanley: bishop of the
Roman Cat holic diocese of Fargo. in
that city last week Friday, cast gloom
over Dickinson. as a large percentage

girls, hospital and three parochial
schools. There are now in the diocese
mitred abbot. 10 priests, 215 churches,
IS parochial schools, four Indian schools,
five hospitals, an orphanage, a college
for boys and six academies for girls.
In 18 years the number of priests have
quadrupled and the number of churches
more than quintupled.
Bishop Stanley spent six years in
Rome and at the age of d was ordained
as priest in St. John Lateran at that
place. He then went to St. Paul,
where he was installed as pastor and
where he remained for IS years where
he served under Bishop Grace and the
now Archbishop Ireland. On December

of jamestown which was later changed
to Fargo al his own request on account
of better railroad facilities in this city,
which high office he has held for nearly
20 years.

great solemnity and impressiveness.
Many bishops were present, including
Archbishop Ireland, whe preached the
funeral sermon. Nearly all the priests
