QUARANTINE RAISED
By BOARD on CATTLE

At the regular quarterly meeting of the
North Dakota Sanitary Live Stock COM
mission held at Bismarck last Saturday,
it was voted to raise the quarantine on
cattle which has been in force the past
few years This is satisfactory to the
federal officers. and means that in the
future. or as soon as the government
finally passes on the quarantine, that
cattle shipped from Western North
Dakota will not be tagged. Exposed,
clean cattle. as in the past.
There are possibly 1000 cattle that
properly belongs in the exposed list and
il is ordered that these herds, three
north in the locality of the Missouri
river and two in Morton county in the
locality Of Leipzig. be placed under
strict quarantine until they are abso-
lutely clean.
Any rancher can get his herd clean of
scabbies if he will use proper methods
and the necessary diligence in applying
the same.

RAINFALL FOR JULY
NEARLY NORMAL

The rainfall for the month of July
amounted to 1.S9 inches. or AS inches
more than during the same period last
year. This is little below normal, as
the average for IS years at the Dickin.
son government station is 2.12 inches.
For June the precipitation was 3. /
inches, also little below normal.
For July the highest temperature was
80 degrees on the 10Th. The lowest
temperature recorded is As degrees,
with mean temperature for the month
of 81 degrees, or 1 degree below the
average for IS years For July, 1908.
the mean temperature was 10 degrees.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
rainfall for June and July is little
below normal in this locality, the crops
are the best that they have been since
1891. The rains have been well dis
tributed and owing to the heavy rains
last fall the ground was in unusually
good condition in the spring.

FAv0Rs OPENING OF
BERTnoLp DISTRICT

The PRESS is reliably informed that
the movement to open the Berthold
Indian Reservation to settlement will
also include District No. embracing
204, 900 acres at present leased by j. E.
Phelan. s
When in town recently MI. Phelan
was asked about it and stated that he
would bid again for the lease but
would not oppose the opening of this
tract for settlement. because with the
building of the Northern Pacific railway
through the tract it would be only q
question of year or so before the tracts
would be occupied by settlers.
1t would be a decided advantage to
Dickinson to have this land thrown
open.

FOUND GUILTYOF CONTEMPT
Judge Burr Finds Guilty Most of Parties Charged With Contempt
Liquor Case-W Pass Sentence Satuday-Defense Prepares
Appea-One Witness Put in Jail to Make Memory
New Suits Will Come Up as Court Cases Later. =,

This has been disasterous week for
parties charged with violating the pro-
hibition law in Stark county. !. It is the
only really serious for many
years and was quite unexpected.
Those found guilty of contempt are J..
A., McAndress, John Andor, Daniel
Heidi. Paul Messer, Xaver Koch and
Paul Koch, with the case of Joe Cuskelly
up at the time of goinR to press on
Friday. 1njunctions were issued against
the foregoing and other parties some
time ago. hence the opportunity for
contempt proceedings.
AT the time of going to press last
week things were not looking the
brightest for the state in the contempt
cases being tried before Judge Burr. In
the Ray and Junkin papers the affidavits
were mixed and the court threw the
cases out. In the Cuskelly case, which
followed, the court held with the defense
on the two first counts and decision in
the third was taken under advisement
This was the way matters stood last
Saturday night.
Monday morning Judge Burr gave
the attorneys some pretty plain talk,
making it absolutely clear to everyone
that he was running the court. It had
leaked out that the defense was talking
of making perjury charges against
some of the detectives who had come
out from the cities to work up the evil
dence and Judge Burr informed counsel
for the defense that any work for
purposes of intimidation would not
be tolerated in his court. The admoni-
tion had the desired effect.
The court found J. A. McAndress
guilty on Monday and the following
day John Andor suffered the same fate.
In trying the case Monday the court
found it expedient to put M. j. Gleason
in Jail jor while and there were a
few other witnesses who 'regained their
memories just in time to save them
selves similar fate.
The court does not Insist on wit
ness swearing that he bought and drank
beer or whiskey. but if he supposes that
he was sold these beverages then the
court considers the evidence material.
In the McAndress case Ed. Quinn
testified that he purchased the business
on the first floor of the Leonberger build
ing for ST, 600, but evidence was pro-
duced sufficient to make the court
believe that the former owner was
around and at times had actually sold
drinks in the building, thereby violating
the injunction placed thereon some time
ago.
Daniel Heidi was found guilty on

For Settlers Lucky Enough To Be
In Forest Reserve Southwest
of Dickinson-Plenty Of
Timber and Water

1T will interest PRESS readers to know
who are privileaed to occupy the only
National Forest Reserve in Western
North Dakota, located about 40 miles
southwest of Dickinson. comprising
IA, 800 acres. C. E. Everett, J.. w.
Follis. j. p. Lebo, Frank Gore, John
Tyler and John Ehrmantraut are the
homesteadefs within this domain, while
w. Guy CLARK has government land there
in which he secured with scrip. Fred
Pabst is the owner of all the railroad
lands and Mr.. Clark has them leased.
Ranger McGill has charge of this and
the Cave Hills reserve in South Dakota.
He resides at Camp Crook and spends q
week of each month looking after the
North Dakota reserve. 1t is the RANGER 8
business to see that no person cuts any
green tree on the reserve or even takes
any of the dead timber without permis-
sion.
The resident homesteaders have a
right to keep 10 head of cattle and
horses each and may cultivate and do
as they like with their own tracts of
land: they can also Craze horses and
cattle-sheep not permitted-On the
vacant government lands by paying the
nominal sum of &c. per head per year.
They must not overstock the range and
the little man has the same right as the
wealthy stockman here. On payment of
zoe. per acre the homsteaders are per
mitted to cut hay off their own land.
Outsiders are not allowed the privilege
and additional homestead entries can
not be made.
The government, through the local
ranger, has offered 10 furnish the wire
if the settlers will put up fence to en-
close the whole reserve. There is
plenty of dead cedar for posts handy by
and the chances are that the occupants
of the reserve will take advantage of
the offer another spring.
This forest reserve is watered by the
Little Missouri river, Deep and Sand
creeks along the river it is wooded with
cottonwoods and on the hills it is
thickly wooded with pines.
Those who happened to be in posses
sion of land within when President
Roosevelt declared the tract a forest
reserve are very fortunate.
