Freight Traffic
Still On Increase
September's Business Shows Very
Marked Increase Over the Same
Month Last Year---the Figures

Beach is still keeping up it's in
crease in the amount of business
transacted at the local depot of the
Northern Pacific. Like the avail
anche, the business of the town
gathers volume and momentum as
it goes, and each month shows
healthy gain over the month pre-
ceding, and very marked increase
over the corresponding month of
last year.
September was no exception to
this rule, as the figures given be-
low will show. Agent Cooper and
his staff of assistants point with
pride to the September report, and
they are certainly justified in feel
ing somewhat puffed up about it.
Every resident of Beach ought to
feel the same way. These freight
and passenger showings are splendid
advertisements for Beach and are
attracting much attention to our
thriving little city.
The freight received here last
month amounted to 3,527 tons, on
which the charges were $19, 1920
as against 1 ,418 tons and $11 1859. 90
for the same month of 1908.
Freight forwarded was 4,4O3
tons; charges $18, ,756.00; as
against 1850 tons and SIG, ,0S6.C0
last September.
Tickets sold 1.o25 for $3.O63.00
as against 555 for 81. .965.0O.
In September 1908, there were
shipped Al cars of grain. Last
month 102 cars were shipped-an
increase of IS cars.
The total receipts for September
were $42, $4,000, which. compared
with those Of the same month last
year, $50, $500 show an increase
Of $12. .381 90.
Pretty good, don't you think?

Big Landslide
Wrecks Train
n. P. Track Slid Fifty Feet Near
Medora - Brakeman Williams
Thrown Hundred Feet, Badly Hurt

A peculiar and very bad wreck
occurred about a mile west of
Medora Saturday forenoon at l0:3O,
and, in consequence, all train SER
vice was suspended until 9 O'Clock
in the evening.
AS an extra freight headed west,
rounded curve near Andrews
creek, Engineer Hunt noticed a
kink in the rails and shut off steam.
Just then the whole hill side slid
forty or fifty feet to the south,
carrying the engine and five or six
cars with it, and mixing things up
in horrible mess.
Wreckers and crews were dis
patched to the scene at once, and
by dint of almost superhuman
efforts enough of the debris was
cleared away to allow the con.
struction of a track around the
wreck and trains were again NOV
ing at the time above given.
The engineer and fireman escaped
with but minor injuries when the
engine rolled over on its side. but
he head brakeman. C. H. Williams
of Sparta, N. c., was thrown and
rolled about a hundred feet, and
sustained injuries from which his
recovery is considered doubtful.
He was taken to the hospital al
Dickinson.

Fist Threshing Rig for Medora

On Friday, October s, the first
threshing outfit invaded Medora-
that home of cattle and cowpunch-
ers, made famous by magazine ar
ticles. This is the first of two rigs
ordered. and means that the hills
in the Bad Lands will now be
made to yield crops. Several tracts
in the buttes are now cultivated
successfully and where the land
can be plowed it is as fertile as
any in this part Of the state.

Yates Men In
Bloody Battle
Little Town Across Border Scene Of
Cory Conflict ---Parties Likely to
Get Heavy Punishment

The little town of Yates, just
across the line in Montana. put
on some more metropolitan airs
Monday and the limited population
was kept quite agitated for a con-
siderable portion Of the day. Two
men became involved in a quarrel
in one of the two palatial saloons
which the budding metropolis sup
ports, and were finally thrown on
the outside. where the quarrel
was continued. the parties event.
ually finding their way into the
other saloon, from which they
were also elected.
In the series Of scrimmages one
of the men was stabbed in the back
and the other had several fingers
nearly cut from one hand. In fact,
it was an old-time bloody affair.
Local authorities had an inter.
esting time rounding up the two
sanguinary sons of Cain, the hunt
extending over a considerable por-
tion of the country adjacent to
Yates, but the chase was success
full in the end and the offending
murderous men were hailed before
a justice Of the peace at Wibaux.
and by him held to the District
court at Glendive.
The people of the town were
terrorized, we understand, during
the long-drawn-out progress Of the
bloody affray, and the testimony
of many of them will doubtless
be somewhat highly colored at the
trial in Glendive, even after the
lapse of time.

Meant the Other WaY.

Rear Admiral Sperry, commander
in-chef of the fleet returned from its
triumphant sail around the world,
sometimes has serious spells of absent
mindedness. Several years ago he was
talking with group Of fellow officers
at the Naval War college at Newport,
when one of them remarked that he
had been ordered for duty on the
Asiatic station.
Are you going to take your wife
with you?" Admiral Sperry inquired.
NO." the officer replied.
Il think you are making a serious
mistake" the admiral continued in
positive terms. II was out there in
1876 when an epidemic Of cholera
broke out, and hundreds of people
died."-Sunday Magazine.

When Cultivation Paid.

The advantage of orchard cululva.
tion was clearly demonstrated the
past year in almost all sections where
there was opportunity of comparing
the clean cultivation and sod systems.
1t was easily noticeable that the
drouth during the season did not ma
terially affect cultivated or mulched
orchards, but in grass orchards half
the crop dropped before maturity. The
grass took up the moisture to such an
extent that the trees suffered and con.
sequently the fruit dropped. When
the soil was under cultivation and a
dust mulch was provided to prevent
evaporation the supply of soil water
was held for the use of the fruit trees.
A full crop of fruit, according to the
method practiced, was the result.

Plan for a Good Farm Hotbed.

Plant good assortment of good, re-
liable garden seed. Cultivate it well
and you will be surprised how the
supply of variety of vegetables will
cut down the meat bill and stop and
call for the doctor so often. Then
again few baskets of corn, field or
soup beans, taken to town occasional
ly brings in a nice amount of money.
Try it, and the habit of having an
annual garden on the farm will grow
on you.
| know a man who, when he started
out for himself, would not take
the butter or eggs to market that his
wife managed to get ready. But now
his daughters make regular trips to
town with butter, buttermilk, sweet
milk and eggs and he himself has
learned better.
If you do not know how to make a
hotbed, learn this spring and you
will never regret or forget it. If you
cannot get regular hotbed sash,
good window sash will answer. Dig
out a place two feet deep just about
the size of your sash. Side it up from
the bottom of the hole with any old
boards to keep the moles and mice
out of the manure and prevent their
coming up and destroying the seed or
young plants. Make the frame above
he ground tight so as to hold the
heat and keep out the cold air. Give
he sash plenty of slant to run off the
water
About the tenth of March fill the
BED full of fermenting stable manure

nches of garden SOIL level it down,
)ut the sash on and let it alone for
hree or four days. AS soon as the
weed seed comes up in the bed stir

Four seed of tomatoes, pepper, both

Up to the Editor,

The country editor kept nagging at
his new apprentice and finding fault
with his work until the criticism be-
came wearisome.
Finally the worm turned.

demanded sarcastically. IF you do
you are barking up the wrong sapling.
I can't set type or sling ink with Ben
Franklin or Hor'ce Greeley, not on
my present recompense, but you make
the salary six simoleons, cash down
every Saturday night, and I'll pitch in
and set the journalistic pinwheels a.
buzzing in Punkinville and vicinity,
even if have to stay up seven nights

There's my offer. blast yer stingy

CULTIVATION THE KEY.
Orchard Will Not Do Well Unless
Given Attention.

If you plant an orchard and think
gou have nothing to do but to pick the
apples once year, you will find your
time and money thrown away
should as quick think of raising corn
without cultivation as apples, but you
raise apple trees and corn on the
same piece and give both the cultiva-
ton they need, says Solon Chase,
successful fruit grower of Maine
Plow deep, harrow fine, plant your
trees and corn at the same time; the
cultivation you give the corn will
make the young trees grow.
A hoed crop doesn't hurt a young or
chard if you will hoe the trees when
you hoe the corn. After three hoed
crops two years to corn and one year
to potatoes, in the early spring seed
to clover. In August cut a crop of hay
when the clover is in bloom-a Sec
ond crop of clover will grow up in the
fall. The next spring turn in the
clover sod and plant to corn again and
follow with three hoed crops and a
crop of clover. In this rotation don't
cut but one crop of hay. In this way
your orchard will come into bearing
young and all the time you can raise
paying crops. If you fertilize the
ground the trees will get their part of
1t, if you make clean cultivation. Cul.
tiyation is the key to the growth of
the apple tree.

NEW IDEA
Helped Wis. Couple.

1t doesn't pay to stick too closely to
old notions Of things. New ideas often
lead to better health, success and hap
piness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea new
to them and stepped up several rounds
on the health ladder. The husband
writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless,
nervous, sallow, weak and irritable.
My wife and l both loved coffee and
thought it was a bracer." (delusion.)
Finally, after years Of suffering, we
read of Postum and the harmfulness
of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
when we made it right we liked it
and were relieved of ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the change
-fresher skin, steadier nerves, better
temper, etc.
These changes were not sudden,
but relief increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
MANY of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right. But when they boiled
Postum according to directions on
pkg, until it was dark and rich, they
liked it better than coffee and were
benefited by the change" There's

A New Drug Compound Which Re

1t seems certain that the farming
class of people will be free from many
of the common ills heretofore affect

called cascaroyal pills is far more eff
fective and hundred times cheaper
than the table and mineral waters
used by the rich. In fact, one of these
little cascaroyal pills (Blackburn's) is
far more effective as a mild blood
