FROM FORMER
BEACH RESIDENT
R. c. Phipps Writes an Interest
ing Letter From Colorado
Chronicle is Above Average

The Chronicle is in receipt of a
letter from r. C. Phipps, who at
one time conducted a photo gallery
at Beach. Mr.. Phipps is now To-
Gated at Plateau City, Colo, where
he went on account of his health.
From his letter, parts Of which
follow, it can be seen that he
hasn't forgotten the Golden Valley.
Among other lines he says:
1--WE all enjoy reading the
Chronicle very much. You are
getting out a paper very much
above the average country sheet
and wish you every success. The
paper is a weekly connecting link
with a country where we have
many friends whom we like to hear
from, and keeps us posted on the
growth of Beach and the Valley
generally.
Beach, in my opinion, has a
bright future before it, and l be-
lieve, it will some day be the
county seat of Billings county, or
new county will be organized
out of part of the old one. should
Judge that two thirds Of the taxable
wealth of the county was much
closer to Beach than to Medora,
and it would be to the interest Of
large majority of the citizens to
have the county seat moved.
ITO the farmers of the Golden
Valley l wish continued good crops,
good prices and all the prosperity
they can conveniently stand up
under.
''Have had no very cold weather
here this winter, two below zero,
but snow until further orders.
keep up the good fight on the
U. S. land Office people until you
help the homesteaders to get what
is justly due them in the way Of
land title. 1t seems to me to be a
breach of good faith to allow peo-
pie to file on land and then after
wards tell them to get off, and lose
their money and labor, or else
give them only a partial deed.
The railroads or other corporations
were not treated in any such in
jun trade" style, and l see no rea-
son why the common people who
make the country what it is
should be so treated. 1t looks like
there was screw lose in the
square deal" administration.
With best wishes all around
am Sincerely yours,
R. C. Phipps

new lawyer
TO LOCATE HERE
Well Known Minot Lawyer Decides
to Locate at beach--Anives
This Week

Atty. Joseph Denoyer, a we'll
known Minot attorney, arrived in
the city this week and intends locat-
ing here permanently if present
plans carry.
The field is a good one for the
right man, and it is hoped that
Mr.. Denoyer will cast his lot with
the Beach people, as he has the rep
utation of being one of the best
lawyers in the state. Although
we have as yet no definite state
ment from Mr.. Denoyer, we take
from the following that he fully
intends remaining with us:
Minot Reporter; Attorney JOS
eph Denoyer one of the best known
attorneys in the city of Minot, has
gone to Beach, N. D., where he
will engage in partnership with
Attorney George Purchase in the
practice of law. While Mr.. Dem
oyer had an extensive practice in
Minot and is one of the best trial
lawyers in the western part of the
state, he received such splendid
offer from the Billings county man
that he could not resist, and hence
made his arrangements to leave
Minot. For the present Mrs. Den
oyer and the children will remain
in Minot, probably not leaving un-
til the close of the school year.
The people of Minot and of Ward
county generally where Mr.. Den
oyer is we'll known will wish him
success in his new field of labor.

Mr.. Russ says the new town of

the town will undoubtly grow into

Mr.. Russ will arrange to break

MILK THE COW CLEAN

The first milk that is drawn from
the COWS udder at milking time has
a very small amount of fat present.
the best milk contains sometimes
as much as 10 to IL per cent fat.
The so called strippings, contains
q very large portion of the total
fat contents of the milk.
1t follows that the common habit
OF carelessness about milling the
cow clean is just so much money
thrown away, and the frequent
practice of letting the calf finish

'MIsDIRECTED JUSTICE"

The Sentinel Butte Republican
had the following to say in regard
to the case against Messrs. Randall
and Jaeger: cit looks very much
as though somebody in the Alpha
country had made mistake, as
John Jaeger and Jean Randall have
been arrestd on suspicion of having
been the ones who committed the
recent depredations out there. In
conversation with Mr.. Jaeger last
Saturday the gentleman informed
us that he will not have the slight
est trouble in proving a complete
alibi, and the same is said of Mr..
Randall, as both have always borne
good regulations it looks like a
sure enough case of misdirected
justice or mistaken Identity"

decided, the main issue being here
they will be housed and fed. At
the last institute the vote among
the teachers was unanimous to
hold institute in Sentinel Butte
but as Beach has come to the front
with fine new school house the
chance might be it will be set there
against the wishes of the teachers.
The superintendent has decided to
be assured that all the teachers and
instructors will be taken care of
before place is determined on.
