EDUCATION.

hearing in Room "A at the State House.

No. I'd. (Rehearing from Feb. 1I. On
Golden Valley chronicle. (Beach, Billings County, N.D.) 1905-1916, 1909-12-03

Beach, by reason of it's prox-
unity to inexhaustible banks of
Ignite coal, is in no danger of a
fuel famine, but other places are
not so fortunate. Of course, all
grains and other shipments have
entirely ceased here, so that the
strike is being felt to some extent.
It is estimated that $4,000 men
are idle in the Twin Cities alone,
and prices of some commodities
are soaring skyward, making the
burden of the laboring man doubly
hard to bear.
An effort is being made by some
lines to set strikebreakers at work
and rioting has ensued at one or
two points.
1t is predicted that this will be
the longest and most bitter war;
fare between capital and labor that
the country has ever known. In
justification of their course the
railroads have issued a joint cir
cular to the public, which ap-
parently puts the blame all upon
the Switchmen's union.

To ''Nest''
Wise Birds, Numbering I25, will
Have Strongest Secret 0rganiza-
ton in City Of Beach

Hoot. Mon! A fine big nest of
Owls will be installed at Arts
hall Tuesday evening, and. as in
most everything else. our city has
exceeded all others. The new
lodge will commence business with
about l25 charter members, which
is phenomenal. considering the
size Of the place.
Peter Shea, the district organ
izer, who has been here for two or
three weeks, says that this is the
largest nest he ever started. and
he has worked in big cities. too.
The Owls is a social order and
has attained great strength
throughout the west. where it
originated. and is spreading rapid
ly eastward. 1t seems to be pop
ular secret order, and is recruited
mainly from the ranks of the
"good fellows" " those jolly. fun
loving spirits. who love to enter
tain. 1t has many Of the benefit
features Of the older orders, and
is governed by wise old birds who
are in no sense fledglings.

Beach Brass
Band Born
Large Musical Company Formed and
will Go on a Public ''Toot" in
About Two Weeks

Beach is to have a brass band
has it, in fact. Those having the
matter in charge have gone out
into the highways and byways
and rounded up enough old and
experienced musicians to organize
a strong band. The business men
and others have encouraged the
scheme by liberal donations-so
liberal that about $500 will be
raised. D. M. Cooper has collect
ed $3.50, and has ordered some
instruments for some of the players
who had none.
The band is composed of three
slide trombone players, two tubas,
three altos, five cornets, saxa-
phone, three clarinets, baritone
and two drums.
Each of the players secured is
an old hand at the business and
needs little or no instruction.
Plenty of band music is on hand,
and we are assured that tie band
will be able to make it's bow on
the public streets within two
weeks.
Our city has the proper get.
there spirit, in making of bands
as we'll as everything else, except
the little things. And if every
one wasn't so busy, those would
be attended to also.

Wrestling Match

Articles were signed in this city
Monday, and forfeit money post
ed, for big wrestling match, to
be pulled off on the mat in the
new hall, December II. The
gladiators are H. Hallberg of
Brainerd, Minn., who has been
seen on the mat here. and one
PEGGY, of Cresco. Iowa. an wholly
unknown quantity so far as Beach
is concerned. Pecoy's strepresent-
ative had no hesitancy about put
ting up the forfeit, so we take it
that he has confidence in his man.
Hallberg is good, and the match
will doubtless; be we'll worth wit

1t is not unlikely that Beach will
have a switch engine and crew
next year. Agent Cooper informs
us that the business Of the five
elevators. coupled with that Of
the Russell-Mille mill and eleva-
tor, and the increased freight busi-
ness which the city will surely
have next year, will necessitate
switching crew, as local freights
can not do justice to the situa-
tion. Beach has been and will
continue to be, one of the N. P's
important stations.

General Strike Of Switchmen Ties
Up Freight Traffic on Thirteen
Roads, n. P. Included

At 600 o'clock Tuesday night
nearly all the switchmen employed
by thirteen road entering St. Paul
struck for an increase in pay which
the companies are not disposed to
grant.
No freight trains are moving on
the N. P. and no freight is being
received. The switchmen struck
at the psychological time, when
grain is going east and coal COM
ing west. and should the strike
continue for any length of time,

The Russell-Miller Milling plant
at Dickinson is turning out about
600 barrels every day. and has
been doing this for some time.
This means the reduction of 5000
bushels Of wheat every twenty
four hours. The average daily
shipment is five carloads. and the
elevator is receiving an average of
5000 bushels Of wheat per day.
The company's plant here will be
doing the same thing next year.

Statements have been made repeat

wood pulp or the paper made there
from, the paper-making industry will
be transferred from the United States
to Canada. But the announcement
from Atlanta, Ga, that a company
formed there will make commercial
paper from cotton stalks, gives hope
that the ultimate development of the
use of the cotton stalk for this pur-

pose may enable the Southern States
to more than supply the home de-
mand for paper.
Experiments have been carried on
for some years to determine how to
utilize the fiber in the cotton plant for
paper-making. It has been demon
strated that one-third of the gross
weight Of the cotton stalk is pure eel
lulose or fiber Of thu best quality for
making all grades Of print paper, and
to the 100000 tons of cotton stalks
produced annually in the South the
country may we'll turn for perma-
nent supply of large portion Of the
paper used.
One of the obstacles to the use of
the cotton stalk has been the cost OF
the chemical treatment necessary to
make pulp from it suitable for pa
per-making. It's adaptability has been
we'll understood, but the cost has in
terfered with it's practical or extern
sive use. Recently it has been discov-
cred that the by-product contained i'll

complished the disintegration Of the
cotton stalk can be treated in such a
way that it can be made into ferti-
lizer which can be used upon the cot
ton lands, and largely restore the fer
tility of those lands. The revenue re-
ceived from the sale Of this fertilizer
will reduce the difference of cost be-
tween cotton-stalk and wood-pulp pa
per.
The 100000 tons Of cellulose or
pulp for paper-making that can be
obtained from the cotton crop of the
South would be source of supply
greater in amount than is consumed
by all the paper manufacturers IN the
United States at the present time.
The cotton stalk in the past has
been Of no special value to the planter
or farmer producing the cotton. The
planter has had to destroy the cotton
stalks by burning them in order to
destroy the weevil. If this vast prod
uct can be utilized, as it now promises
to be, it will add untold millions of
dollars annually to that section of the
country which is now producing cot
ton; for inevitably the great industry
of paper-making, or quite portion of

THE OLD COMANCHE YELL.

Adown the quaking winds it came
Much like a shrieking dart,
A yell that sent the rushing blood
Back on the pounding heart;
A whoop that set the nerves a-jump
With ague-shaking thrill,
And gave man towards heart
In spite of all his will
Like scream Of panther in the night
It wrought chilling spell,
And even heroes blood ran cold
At that heart-freezing yell;
Because it took demon s voice
To force it on the air,
And hell itself has not sound
of fendishness SO rare.
1t woke the hardy plainsman oft
From dreams Of home and wife,
To seize his trusty winchester
And battle for his life;
Mid snorting ponies, whizzing shafts,
While through it all demon s voice
Was sounding in that yell.
The wagon train upon the plains,
Has often heard it's doom
Loud sounded in the glare Of day,
Or in the midnight gloom,
BY that internal screecbing yell,
That meant destruction dire
By scalping knife and arrow swift,
Or brutal lust and fire.
1t was the death knell of the weak,
1t made the strong turn pale;
And many soul that heard it first
Upon some lonely trail,
Went hence through horrid torturing,
The thought of which brings tears,
And while it felt the throes of death
That yell rang in it's ears.
1t wakes the echoes wild no more
Upon the boundless plains,
And but a few of ripper years
Its horridness retains;
For on the scenes where once it rang
The light Of safety beams,
And only old time plainsmen now
May hear it, in their dreams.

Fewer Complaints of Discrimination
This statement was brought out by
an inquiry as to whether there was

were many complaints filed by ship
pers asking the commission TO inter-
fere and protect them from excessive
freight rates. AZ the time the act
was passed establishing the commits

about these rates and il was urged
that commission was necessary to
protect the people from the rapacitv

been but little heard Of this issue. In

show there were 4g6 complaints of this

Sidney Chapman is not entirely sat
isned with the result of the wrestling
match which took place at Calumet
last Saturday evening, and in which
he was declared the winner. The
crowd OF range fans who attended the
match feel the same way. What they
are dissatisfied with is Harrington's
poor showing.
In fact this feeling has grown To
such an extent that Chapman fears
some may look upon the match as n
frame up" and for this reason his
manager is DESTROYS of return bout
with Harrington. the match to be for
$780, to be pulled off i'm Trmountain
and no admission charged. If salts
factory arrangements can be brought
about the new hall at Trmountain
will be used. The latter clause is
added because it is figured the ex-
penses may be kept down by pulling
the match off there 1t is also hoped
to have the contest some time next
month, the date to be decided later.
Chapman is still nursing a badly
swollen hand. having met with an ac-
eident last week, a few days before
his meeting with Harrington. Deter
mined to face his opponent Chapman
2 entered the ring with the injured mem
Der and by this action showed his
gameness. Those from the range
who witnessed the match as far as il
went were more than impressed with
the showing made by the Trimountain
man. and so confident are they that
1he can win from Harrington that
sums viii be wagered on the outcome
Of their next contest. If Harrington
stlll thinks he is the better sman Of
the two, and that he can defeat his
opponent Of last Saturday night in q
return match. he may accept this chal-
lenge, which is authorized by Chap
mans manager.
