SCHOOLS WILL OPEN
FOR the FALL Term

The formal observance of Labor Day,
September s, for the first time since it
became legal holiday in North Dakota,
will postpone the open ing of the schools
until Tuesday, September Z.
The teachers who are to have the re-
sponsible task of training and direct
ing the minds of Dickinson youth
throughout the next school year are
nearly all in the city and about settled
in their respective boarding places.
Until the new high school building is
completed it will be necessary to con-
duct the first primary room in halliday
sessions, one-half the number of pri-
mary pupils attending the morning ses-
sion and the other half in the after
noon. II

completed. is the most up-to-date plant
in North Dakota.
The daily output of the mill, when
once thoroughly under way. will be
between six and seven hundred barrels
and will require over 5000 bushels of
wheat daily This will naturally make
Dickinson an important wheat market ;
and it can be readily seen what this
will mean to the farming country adjac-
tent to the city.
The company will employ between
twenty five and thirty men. Three of
these are regular millers and three
boilers, besides all the other numerous
Offices to be filled.
A handsome, commodious boarding
house has been erected near the mill
for the accommodation of the unmarried
employees and competent manager
placed in charge. This building has
electric lights and steam heat, supplied
by the mill dynamo and boiler.
R. S. Davidson, local MANAGER for the
company, has recently come to the city
with his family and is in every way q
competent, trustworthy man, suited fol
the important position he occupies.
The value to Dickinson of plant of
this magnitude can hardly be over
estimated The number of men en-
ployed means that their wages will be
spent here. thus adding to the business
interests Of Dickinson merchants. Social
life. the schools. the clubs and various
Organizations of the city will all re-
ceive their quota of benefit.
Dickinson should give a warm vel
come to all connected with this new
enterprise; not forgetting or neelectins
to reach out for many more that may
be easily grasped by the proper display
of spirit and enterprise on the part Of
her citizens.

The Russell-Miller Milling Co. 8
new plant. which was begun last fall.
is now receiving the finishing touches in
the installing of machinery; and actual
grinding will probably begin in about a
week, although it will be two weeks or
more before the regular output of flour
will begin.
This plant, comprising elevator, mill.
boarding house, etc., represents an
investment of $50, 600. The elevator,
a mammoth structure. covered with fire
proof sheathing and having all modern
improvements, has capacity of 100.
600 bushels.
The mill which is built entirely of
Dickinson pressed brick. consists of a
main building, 40 by "a feet. six
stories in height. with large wings on
either side and at the back. The Chin
ney, which is of cement. is the first of
the kind ever built in the state. There
is also convenient Office building con-
nected with the mill at the southwest
corner. *
In the basement of the mill a Cor

RAINFALL |!
For August 5K Inches Heavy
Crops Nearly Harvested Fine
Yields Of Barley and Oats
Corn q Tons to Acre.

The month of August was record
breaker for rain In this country. the
total precipitation being 5.54 inches.
Last year the rain fall was but I .43
inches The Greatest fall this year was
2.54 inches during the night of the 9th.
Notwithstanding the unusual rainfall
for the month, there were but cloudy
days. 10 partly cloudy and 16 clear
days. The wind was lower than usual.
and the last 10 days of August were
ideal for ripening grain. August aver
aged hotter for 1909 than last year. the
record being 6s.6 degrees, against 64.2
degree. The hottest day was on the 26th
with "a degrees. against record Of 100
degrees in 1908. The coldest night was
on the 28th. when mercury dropped to 38
degrees. which was safely above the
freezing point, marked contrast to
the record for August in. 1908, when
mercury dropped to ~ degrees on the
22nd. This record Of degrees below
freezing was disastrous to corn and
late crops This year late cops are
mostly matured and it may be several
days yet before there is any sign of
frost.
The total rainfall for the first eight
months of 1909 is 1911 inches. OF 3.43
inches greater than for the same period
last year.
Crop reports of yield are coming in
slowly, the farmers being too busy
with stacking and threshipefto come to
town these days. From the Dickinson
experiment station It is learned that the
barley is yielding 40 bushels to the
acre. oats IS to. 10 bushels. Manager
Grace says that oats yield rather better
than he had expected and he is inclined
to think that the station has wheat
that will make 80. .bushels to the acrsa,.;
Ormanzo Brown has so acres Of corn
being cut this week which he estimates
will produce 4 tons Of fodder to the
acre. Good judges of crops say that
this is the finest field of corn ever
grown around Dickinson and perhaps In
any part of Stark county.
: The gardeners are getting very fine
vegeta ables this year and keep the local
markets well supplied. Melons and
tomatoes are especially good.
September has started in we'll on keep
ing up the rain record. Thursday hav-
ing been a lowery day. in conse-
quence of which the farmers were
unable to work in the fields. While the
grain is mostly cut there is great deal
still in the shock and in some fields the
heavy bundles are still on the ground
where dropped by the binders.

HANDSOME
STRUCTURE
Masonic Temple Started-Will
Be Credit to Dickinson and
Finest of Its Kind West of
Fargo-Over 70 Stockholders.

Work was actually comm enced Mon
day morning on the excavation for the
new Masonic temple to be erected on
Sims street. 1t has taken several
months to perfect plans but any person
who will take the time to examine the
sketches for the structure in the Office
of Secretary Mcbride will say that it
has been worth it.
The basement plan calls for the exca-
vation of the entire two lots. so feet
frontage by 141 feet deep. and an area
way under the side walk for the entire
length of the lot The excavation ex-
tends out far enough to give the masons
chance to face up and plaster the
foundation walls on the outside as
we'll as inside.
At meeting of the stockholders and
friends interested held the past week
the new temple was discussed in its
different phases. The estimated cost
of the foundation walls, including
amount paid for the lots. and ready for
the superstructure, is So, 500. This
figure is practically correct because con-
tracts are let for ne arly everything.
The estimated cost above the foundation
walls is variously placed at from $17,-
600 to $40. 900.
Architect Haire and Link of Helena
promised to have the plans completed
this week, and at the earliest possible
date the contr act for this work will be
let.
There is talk of restaurant for the
basement and just how the first floor
will be finished is not definitely settled.
One party wants to get the entire floor.
while others think it would be best to
cut the space up for two or three
stores which could be done very nicely
and have large floor space for each
occupant.
The Masonic hall. of course. has first
consideration on the second floor. There
will be office rooms in front and spa
cious banquet room on the north side,
so ARRANGED as to open into the lodge
room for large Masonic doings. Access
to the kitchen will be from the rear.
At the present time there are over
seventy subscribers to the Masonic
temple fund and it is the desire of the
committee to have every member of
the lodge hold some of the stock.
Those having the construction of the
temple in charge are IT,. Greene. presi-
dent, M. L. Mcbride. secretary, v. H.
Stickney, w. L. Richards, F. W.
Turner, G. A. Perkins and Charles Bake.
1t is planned to have the excavation
completed the first of October, although
Contractor C. H. Wiley has six weeks ,
time if needed. He has 3, 800 yards Of
dirt to move and has arranged 10 use
four teams on scrapers and as many on
wagons. The dirt is being hauled to
the railroad yards at the east crossing,
a distance of three blocks
There is one thing that the committee
will not do and that is to hurry the
work of construction. If the fall wealth
er is good the outside walls should be
completed before it gets too cold and it
is believed that with the central heat,
the inside work can be carried on sue
cessfully during the winter months.

Its promoters. A half dozen aerOplanes in various
stages of completion occupy unfinished sheds at
one side Of the racecourse where the field has been
converted into an serodrome. A few other ma
chimes expected. but il Is evident that the
troversy between the managers and the Aero Club
of Great Britain has had chilling effect The dis
pute arose from conflict of dates between DON
caster and Backpool The latter meet had been
announced. when the Doncaster committee sudden
ly issued programme The Aero Club promptly
refused 10 sanction the Doncaster meet and init
mated that 1t would disqualify those who entered
there.
The prospects Of success were not improved by

CRITICISM OF THE ARMY.
Inspector General Darlington Points Out
Defects

Washington Oct. l5.-Treating of practically
every branch Of the army the annual report of In
spector General f. A. Darlington made public to-
day. is devoted to comment on existing conditions
some Of which are criticised and others commended
In chapter devoted TO the annual physical tests
made by direction OF President Roosevelt General
Darlington observes that a scheme requiring each
officer TO take exercise commensurate with his du-
ties and age in the entire year, shown by per-
sonal monthly reports would better accomplish the
purpose sought by Mr.. ROosevelt's orders than the
practice in vogue
The belief is expressed that the army is greatly
in need of increase in the infantry and field artiI-
lery and Of reorganization of the cavalry and the
opinion is given that legislation to this end would
be facilitated by quartering the troops where they
would ccme closely in contact with the people
The report presents the problem of absenteeism
Of officers from their commands there being gen
eral complaint from all directions II is said that
the service is more less crippled by this prac-
tce General Darlington declares il should he de-
termined whether the valuable services rendered 10
the government by officers in certain lines of de-
tached duty compensate for the loss of efficiency in
their organizations due TO their absence and
for the discomfort Of the officers who have to per-
form the extra duty without extra pay while those
absent frequently receive greater emoluments.

NAVY YARD FRICTION
TROUBLE At MARE ISLAND
Members of House Committee Think
Ne7cberry System Successful.
[From The Tribune Bureau.I

Washington Oct I5-The members of the Com
mittee Naval Affairs of the House who have
been on a trip OF inspection. which included the
two yards on the Pacific Coast and the new naval
dockyard and base at Pearl HarbOr. Ha-
waiian Islads, have communicated their i'm
pressions to the Secretary of the Navy especially
in regard to the administration of the navy yard
at Mare Island. Cal This is the yard where
there has been the most determined application
OF the Newberry system OF navy yard control
as modified IN some important particulars by
the present administration. The manager of that
yard, Naval Constructor II. A. Evans, has faith
fully carried out the plan of consolidation in which
work he has had the important assistance and
support OF the commandant of the yard. Rear Ad-
miral T. S. Phelps.
There has been considerable friction. neverthe-
less, and this is reported to exist especially be-
tween the naval constructor and the captain of the
yard, Captain Lucien Young, we'll between
the naval constructor and Commander {. A
Carr, the engineer officer. The friction between
Messrs. Evans and Carr has reached a critical
stage. according TO the reports and 1t will not be
surprising If the situation develops into one re-
quirng military discipline. At all events, official
report has been made to the Navy Department
on the subject and it is probable that the Sec
rotary will be called to adjust matters and
possibly to detach of the officers who are
opposing the naval constructor.
The members Of the Naval Committee were
much impressed with the of the New
berry system. so far as it had been applied at
Mare Island. They are quoted holding the
opinion that the system ought 10 be APP
piled at all navy yards. in the interest OF expe-
ditious operation If not economical administra-
ton.
The committeeman were displeased with the fric-
ton which they found at Mare Island, and which
they learned exists at other navy yards. This was
evidence of lack of discipline, which some OF
them believe should be corrected by the authori-
ties in Washington. The discovery that such
state of affairs exists may lead to pointed
illusions to the naval personnel the part of
members Of the House Naval Committee, il that
subject comes before Congress the next session.
