Who says that Beach is not grow
ing?
A year ago the Beach postoffice
was raised from a fourth class
office to third class with a SAL
ary Of $1,000 per year for the
postmaster, and now it has been
raised from $1,000 to $1,500, to
take effect July 1st. this year.
Last Tuesday the postoffice de-
partment raised the salary of 81
postmasters in North Dakota, and
the Beach postmaster received the
largest raise. That is proof enough
that Beach is the fastest growing
town in North Dakota. The salary
OF 45 postmasters were raised 500
per year; six were raised 5000 per
year, and only one, and that was
Beach, received raise Of $500 per
year, making the salary of the post
master here 1900 per year after
July 1st, 1909.
Seven Offices in the state were
reduced.

Fine Rain--Bad Storm

Last Friday night the Golden
Valley experienced a bad electric
storm followed by "a hours of steady
rain in which over four inches Of
water fell according to the govern.
ment gauge on the experiment
farm. This was followed by two OF
three other showers during the week
and now everything looks promising
for big crop. The storm seemed
to be general over the entire state,
but in the eastern part it was more
in the form Of tornado or cyclone.
Property was damaged and people
injured and killed at Langdon,
Ypsilanti, Steele, Jamestown and
other PAGES. The following in re.
gard to the storm was taken from
the Fargo Forum:
"A cyclonic storm swept through
northern and central North Dakota,
late Saturday, like a blast from a
furnace and blazed a trail of death
and destruction. Nine lives snuffed
out like so many candles, several
persons injured SO that they will
probably die, between forty and
fifty others more or less hurt, a
quarter of a million dollars worth
of property destroyed with one fell
swoop and telephone and tele-
graphic communication broken and
crippled is the record of the whirl-
wind which wrought terrific havoc
in few hours.''
