James kenndy, the republican
national committeeman Of Fargo,
is authority for the staement that
President Taft will visit Fargo
this summer. Taft in visiting the
Al,.ska-Yukon- Pacific Exposition
will make the trip over the North
ern Pacific and this means that he
will pass through Beach. Being
that he has already agreed to stop
at Fargo it would not be out Of
place to get him to stop off at
Beach. Taft has good appetite
and would enjoy being banquetted
by the Commercial Club at one of
our eating houses. The Com
mercial Club would certainly give
him good time and a good meal
and we know he would enjoy it as
he is great eater, so they say.

Nearly every town on the Mis-
souri, Slope has an active COM
mercial club and from the reports
in our exchanges. they are holding
numerous meetings and doing
many good things for their respec-
tive towns. Marmarth has one
and it is after a U. S. Land Office.
If Marmarth gets government
land office, and it looks as though
she will, it will be her commercial
club that got it. Dickinson has a
very active commercial club and
it has done many things for that
town. At present the club there is
after Federal building. Mott,
an inland town in Hettinger
county, is another live town and
her commercial club is a busy Or
ganization. They have been carry
ing on correspondence with outside
parties and have been the means
of getting many enterprises estab-
lished at that town. At Bowman
the commercial club is promoting
creameries. All over the Slope
the commercial clubs are busy,
but when you turn to Beach there s
nothin' doin'. And Beach has a
better future than any town on the
Slope. Think it over.

Your attention is called to the
change in the advertisements in
this issue and also to the new ones.
The merchants of our city ap-
preciate your trade and take this
means Of telling you of any bar
gains they may have to offer and
also to announce the arrivals of
new goods which are placed at
your disposal and inspection. BY
closely watching the columns Of
this paper you will learn the
names Of our business men who
invite you to deal with them and
you can rest assured that they will
treat you right. A merchant who
does not care enough for your
trade to ask you to visit his store
and who does not inform you Of the
many bargains he may have tc
offer is hardly worth your patron
age. The progressive merchant
will always let his customer:
know Of the arrival of new good:
at once. and the way for our mer
chant to do this is through the col
umns Of this paper which goes t.
almost every home in the Valley.

Two years ago there was a law
enacted whereby the state was to
reimburse owners for horses killed
with CHAMBERS. The law however,
did not carry an appropriation and
claims against the state have con-
sequently been accumulating dur
ing the past two years. The last
session Of the legislature appro-
priated $4,000 to care for these
claims. The governor has ap-
proved this appropriation and it
will only be a short time now before
the money will be available to
take care Of these old claims.

To prove that we know whereof

have but to call attention to the
fact that last week a representa-

Beach and solicited q write-up of
the town; there is some money in

circulated q petition among the
business men asking that $S5 be
used from this fund to pay for
this write-up. Nearly TWENTY

this petition. but ONLY ONE out
Of this number was a member Of
the Club. This is proof enough
that the old Commercial Club is a

posed to do so, they should have
resigned long ago and given some
