United States land office in Dick

another four years. Mr.. Mcclure
was originally appointed to his po-
sition February 3, 1905 and assum-
ed his duties March 10, of that
year.
F. c. Heffron, the Dickinson
lawyer, has been appointed as an
assistant to Atty. General Miller.
Dickinson is to have another big
horse sale March, this month.
A big land deal was recently
made by Ed. O'Connor of the Bel
field Land & Investment Co.,
whereby $500 acres of Stark coun-
ty land was sold to 60 sturdy Hol-
landers, who have just left their
mother country and are now on
their way to make their homes in
western North Dakota. This is
the second bunch Of Hollanders to
come to this country within the
past year and a good colony will
soon be established in the vicinity
OF South Heart, where 100 bought
farms last year.
Senator Simpsons bill providing
for a permanent appropriation of
$4,000 annually for Dickinson ex-
pertinent station is measure that
will be appreciated by all classes of
people in Western North Dakota.
The station is now beyond the ex-
perimental stage and it is right
that the maintenance should not be
left to the shifting opinions of the
various legislative sessions. Supt.
L. K. Waldron has accomplished
great things for the money spent
at the Dickinson station, and it
must have been very unsatisfactory
to him and his associates in the
work to feel that there was no GER
tainty that the next legislature
would make the required appropri-
alton. The bill met with very
little opposition and our represent
atives in the legislature just closed
are entitled to much credit for this
piece of legislation. Dickinson

Correspondence From Every Part Of the Neghbohood

H. c. Short and wife, of the
Terry Moore ranch, arrived here
last Saturday night on their return
from trip down the line. They
drove out to the ranch on Sunday.
Mrs. A. j. Paxton and little
daughter returned on Friday last
from Nebraska, where she had
bren with her mother who was very
i'll at the time she was there, and
was not improving much, even
when Mrs. Paxton came back.
A. G. and Peter Nistler, of Bur-
key, received a telegram from
Saltwater, Oklahoma, this week,
informing them Of the death of
their mother at that place on Sun
day. The boys did not know of
her being i'll, so the news of her
death came as sad surprise to
them, and owing to a delay in for
warding they did not receive the
mt ssage in time to go down and
attend the funeral.
County Judge Paxton reports
that according to the records of his
office in the five years previous to
his term Of office there were q
applications for marriage licenses,
while in the two years he has been
in the Office there were 43. This
shows a large increase, and that a
large number of Billings county
people have been married and Sc
cured their license in Sark county.

WIBAUX

From the Pioneer, March A.
Among the social parties of the
week was the scene at Mr.. and
Mrs. L. C. Faltermeyer's home
on last Saturday evening when
they, assisted by Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur G. Pasrons, entertained
about thirty guests at progressive
thigh five.''
The N. P. put up two large
lamps at each end of the passenger
and freight platform, the first of
the week, which will render much
assistance to the public in making
their way, after dark, without
coming in contact with the boxes
of freight and express that are
usually thrown there from the
trains.
Chas. Gertenson was in the city
on business: Saturday, from his
ranch at Allard. Mr.. Gertenson
was in receipt of a message, from
his former home in Sweden, bear
ing the sad news of the death of
his father, Jonas Gertenson, which
occurred at Carlskrona, Sweden,
Wednesday, Feb. 3. The deceased
was 70 years of age at the time
of his death. Mr.. Gertenson has
the sympathy of all in his late
affection.
Wibaux again topped the wool
market, his week, when contract
were made by four of our leading
wool growers, to sell their entire
clips Of the coming season for %
cents per pound. Among some
of the men referred to above who
sold their wool at this figure was
Mr.. Bovee of Cedar, and while we
are in receipt of the names of the
other parties, who sold their wool
for 22c, we are ommiting them by
request.
On Tuesday evening gloom
was cast over our little city when
the sad news was received here of
the death Of Mr.. William Marion
Parke which occurred at his home,
a few miles southwest of Wibaux,
about 5 O'Clock, p. m. Mr.. Parke
was ailing for several weeks before
his death, which was due to COM
plication of diseases that finally
developed into dropsy, though he
was first confined to his, bed, with
severe attack of the grippe, early
in the winter, when little though
was entertained Of what the final
result would be.
