We would not advise every man in
this country to plant commercial Or
chard. Commercial oroharding re-
quires closer attention to detail than
the average man is likely to give and
willingness to patiently wait for results
which few possess. Every farmer who
owns the land he tills should however
plant not alone an apple orchard but
all fruits, large and small, enough to
furnish ample supply for family use.
In planting an orchard the first thing
to consider is location. OF course it
should be near the house. An east
slope is considered the best; north slope
second; south third; and west slope
poorest of all but In this fat country
the matter Of slope must be regarded as
something Of a joke. Some people
have an idea that the blooming season
Is delayed by the cooler north slope
but this is Q mistake for there is nc
difference. We have known orchard
lists to mulch around trees heavily
while the ground was frozen to retard
blooming, but 1t had no affect at all.
There is something however in the
theory of heat radiation as has
been proven time and again In the
orchards at Palisade in Mesa county
They are located on the south side OF
the great Book cliffs where the heat
of the sun is radiated from the sand.

from spring frosts besides aiding ma

sion Of the Country

A special train carrying the St.
Paul jobbers and wholesale dealers
arrived in Beach Tuesday morning
and took possession of the town.
They carry a brass band which
played several selections after
which the different representatives
visited the local business houses
with which they do business. and
then went on their way west. They
seemed to be very favorably i'm
pressed with the country and up
on reaching Glendive their press
representative sent the following
dispatch to the St. Paul papers:

tiful Golden Valley with the city

which is making two weeks tour

''Thus far the weather has been
perfect and royal welcomes have
been accorded the party all along
the route. The jobbers are MAX
ing a good impression and the fair
fame and good name of St. Paul

pany, who have the contract for
the building of the mill, arrived
this week with q crew Of men and
are now at work breaking ground
for the foundation of the grain
warehouses which will be erected

w. C. Helm, treasurer Of the
Russell-Miller Milling company is
also in the city making arrange
ments with the local brick yard to
furnish brick. A small shipment
of brick has been ordered from the
Dickinson company, but Mr.. Helm
said to a Chronicle representative
that they were anxious to use the
Beach brick if the local yard could
supply them, and if they could
the entire mill would be erected
with our brick. This would mean
quite an advertisement for the
local yard, as a starter, and the
Messrs. Bauman have expressed
themselves as being confident that
they can handle the contract. They
turned out about 100, 900 brick this
week which is their first product
and it appears to be first class
brick. The only question is whether
they can supply such large order
on short notice.
Work on the BARLEY department
st"re was commenced this week
and this building will also be
built of Beach brick.

WA' "a POOR
: exhibition
The Ball Game Sunday Turned Out
to Be What You Might Call
"a Rotten Affair"

A ball game was scheduled on
the local grounds between Beach
and Belfeld last Sunday and
very large crowd turned out to
witness the exhibition, but sad to
say no game took place and the
crowd went home disappointed.
However, the Beach uniforms
were there and they are pretty
suits, but they seem rather large,
in fact. when the comedy was over,
and the suits walked off the field,
the boys who occupied them were
so small you couldn't see them at
all. They simply faded away,
while Belfield ran away with the
game.
The Belfeld boys came up and
took home the bacon, as they al
ways do, and Beach couldn't stop
them-never have been able to-
and never will unless something
happens. And that something
didn't happen Sunday, but everv-
thing else happened. Every man
on the Beach team happened to
make a mistake, fell down or up,
and Belfield happened to hit the
ball every tine it was pitched, and
they happened to make some Is or
16 scores while Beach happnd to
make two or three. Nuf said.
Next Sunday the local boys will
take on Wibaux and we understand
the following two weeks Chama
and DeMores will be in order, and
if they recover sufficiently from
the shock which they received Sun
day. they will talk on Yates-or

There has been considerable cor

McCumber at Washington, in re-
gard to the coal matter. Senator
McCumber has been very active in

matter has now been entirely clear
ed up according to the following
letter which will be of interest to
parties concerned:
June z, 1909.
Mr.. George H. Purchase,
Beach, N. Oak.
have your favor of recent date
relative to holding up land proofs
in your section Of the state and
referring to matter of Mr.. Waters.
l have also received in the same
mail a letter from Mr.. Waters,
and l took the matter up with the
Commissioner of the General
Land Office. I find that in the list
which Mr.. Waters claims are held
up, of the whole number some
twenty are being held awaiting the
agents report. The balance are
all acted upon or are ready for
action by the Land Department
here. l am advised that they will
be cleaned up this week. The
twenty held up awaiting report of
the agent will be delayed some time
but Mr.. bennett took the descrip-
tions and has called upon the Agent
to make report Immediately.
Mr.. bennett also advies me that
in numerous instances these lands
awaiting the agents report are
not held up on account of Goa
possibilities but on account Of pro
tests having ben filed by some one
in the neighborhood as to non com
pliance with the laws. assure
you that l will be glad at any time
to assist these settlers in securing
patents for their lands whenever
they have complied with the home
stead laws. Very truly yours,
