j. X. Smith, the we'll known
land man and flax farmer who has
a crop of 1900 acres of flax grow

SO that they can be attached to one

Sunday went to Yates, where it is

ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST
FROM BEACH AND VICINITY

Miss Stella Kennedy is visiting

Wilton, stopped off at Beach Thurs
day on their way back from the
Seattle Exposition and spent the
day here, the guests Of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. w. Larsen, Mr.. Gray be-
ing brother of Mrs. Larsen.
Work on the Gilbert Gilbertson
place is being rapidly pushed. The
frame work is up and it will soon
be enclosed. It is to be occupied
by Power & Wagner for clothing
store, and the contract calls for
the building to be completed by
Sept. 1st.
A. Sandvold, Mrs. Letson's IA
ther, was taken to the Dickinson
hospital last Sunday evening by
Mr.. Letson. Mr.. Sandvold has
been suffering with stomach
trouble and on account of his de-
clining years, he was reported in
a very serious condition. He is
threatened with cancer of the
stomach and the physicians at the
hospital give little hope for his
recovery.
w. F. Lehrke was in the latter
part of last week and brought in
a fine sample Of oats, measuring
over five feet high. 1t is one of
the finest samples of this grain we
ever saw which proves that Mr..
Lehrke is a good farmer, and not
only that, but he has a good
country to farm in.
Last Sunday said a priest would
come to celebrate mass Sunday,
Aug. Ia. The priest is gone out
in the country and l am unable

GOLDEN VALLEY CROPS
ARE BEST IN the STATE

Ye editor made trip into the
central part Of the state this week,
stopping at Jamestown, Valley
City, Darlington, Sykeston and
Fessenden. At none of these
points, or along the line travelled,
did the crops look as favorable
as they do in the Golden Valley.
The grain is very spotted and at
Fessenden and Valley City great
damage has been done by hail.
81 100000 worth of grain is esti-
mated to have been destroyed in
Barnes county, while around Fess-
enden the damage is not so great,
but very severe in places. No
where in the state does the grain
stand as even and heavy as it does
in the Golden Valley, although
farther east the crops are more
advanced and harvest is in full
blast.

BEACH TO HAVE TWO
RAILROAD CROSSINGS

The matter of railroad crossings
in Beach has at last been settled.
and everyone seems to be satisfied
with the decision. Supt. B. O..
johnson, of the Northern Pacific,
was down from Glendive Wednes-
day to take up the depot and cross
ing proposition and that evening
a meeting was held at which about
IS business men were present who
discussed the proposition with Mr..
johnson. The majority were in
favor Of opening Blanche and
Hunter streets instead of opening
but one crossing on Grant street,
and when Mr.. johnson promised
two crossings. Blanche and Hunter
was unanimously decided upon as
the proper places. AS soon as the
matter is taken up with the qener-
al superintendent at Livingston,
Mont, for his approval, the Hun
ter street crossing will be opened.
Mr.. johnson assured those pres
ent that it was the intention Of the
Northern Pacific to erect a new
depot next spring. and that the
present one would be moved to
Yates. He also gave it out, and
it seemed to be satisfactory to
the majority present, that the new
depot would be erected on Grant
street, between the two new pro-
posed crossings. For the present
the old crossing will be used, but
when the new depot is erected
and the old one moved away,
Blanche street will be opened and
the present one closed.
Mr.. johnson while in town was
taken for a trip into the country
by F. D. Cooper, our local agent,
and to say that he was delighted
with the grain outlook is putting
it mildly.
Golden Valley chronicle. (Beach, Billings County, N.D.) 1905-1916, 1909-08-13

work at the local depot this week

Criminal lawyers agree that the
greatest difficulty with a woman wit

than her lawyer wants her to, says "a
writer in the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Get a woman off Of the witness stand
as soon as you can. There seems 70
be something in the makeup of woniA
an that makes her want to tell more
than her lawyer wants her to-
"He must have had warm answer
some time," said lawyer. commenting
on 1t. "A woman is naturally so quick
witted that no lawyer, no matter how
shrewd and alert, can be sure of the
nature of the reply she will give in
answer to any particular question. l
recall when Abe Hummel was discom-
fitted when attempting to impeach the
veracity of a woman witness. and he
asked her: Now, isn't it true that
some one has tried to get you to dlstort
your story of the facts so that they
will appear to be favorable to the de-
fendant?
Yes said the woman.
"'Ah. replied Hummel. L thought
so! And who was it?'
"'You, said the woman Hummel
lost that case
"On another occasion an important
point in case turned on whether the
two parties involved had been three
or four feet apart at the time of the
occurrence in question. The woman in
sisted that it was exactly four feet,
and Hummel asked:
"'Now, how do you know that it was
just four feet?
because l knew some fool lawyer
was going to ask me that question,
said the woman triumphantly.
"At one time l had a loquacious col
ored woman under fire, and I asked :
And what was his reputation for YER
