YATES AS
BEER CENTER
Nsighboring Town Will Soon Be In
Shape to Handle Booze In Large
Quantities Second Moorhead

From all indications the little
town Of Yates. some six miles
west of this city over in Montana,
is beginning to fulfill the promise
of becoming the Moorhead of
Montana. rhe days Of the liquor
traffic at Moorhead are numbered
and Yates offers about as good a
strategic point for the distribu-
tion of liquor in the prohibition
state of North Dakota, or that
portion Of it traversed by the
Northern Pacific. Yates has
been chiefly noted for its saloons,
which, heretofore, have been
mainly supported by the people
and money from Beach. A year
ago there was one saloon there.
Later another was opened. All
summer there have been three.
Friday evening the fourth one
was formally dedicated to the
worship Of Bacchus, q large num-
ber of votaries from this city be-
ing present. And we understa ad
that the foundation has been
commenced for another huge one.
And more are to follow, several
Of them coming from Moorhead.
More than this. if our informa-
tion is correct, other resorts Of a
more questionable character are
to be set a going. All this in a
town of a population not exceed
ing twenty five. Wouldn't that
jolt you?

Given a Rousing Reception

John L. Jepson and wife re-
turned from Miles City Tuesday
evening and were warmly well

their friends.
Mrs. Jepson went to Miles City
a few days before as Miss Anna

Mimi, and became Mrs. Jepson
at the Presbyterian manse at 400
p. M, the Rev. Montgomery per-
forming the impressive marriage
service of the church. The bride
was becomingly attired in white
net over white China silk and
carried bouquet of white bride
roses. She was attended by Miss
Georgia Wardal, who has been
here all summer and is quite we'll
known. The groom wore the Gus.
tomary black, and was supported
through the trying ordeal by Mr..
Theodore Langemo of Terry,
Mont.
Following the ceremony. the
bridal party partook of a delicious
special supper at the Postoffice
Cafe.
OF the bride we know little.
save that she is most highly es-
teemed in her home town of Kim
yon. and during her stay here has
made many warm friends. The
groom is the proprietor of the
City Livery and is a man of
means, and certainly of good taste
in the selection of wife. He
is an old rancher, coming to this
country about thirteen years ago
from Mead, Nebraska. and &C.
quiring large tracts Of land north
Of this city and Wibaux. Two
years ago he purchased the livery
business in this city and has
made hosts of friends by hi:
quiet demeanor and gentlemanl.
methods.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jepson will de-
part tomorrow on an extended wed
ding tour on the coast and visiting
his former home in Nebraska be
fore returning about November

at home in their handsome nev

Prof. Nelson Buys a Home

Prof. C. j. N. Nelson, principal
of our schools, has dipped into
some more Beach real estate. this
time the F. M. Tullar home on
North Blanche street, which he
purchased Saturday, paying
therefor the sum of $3.500.00.
This action looks suspicious on
the part of Mr.. Nelson. but he as
sures us that he has no such idea
whatever. He regards it as a
good Investment, and as it is
one of the most desirable resi-
dence properties on the street,
we are constrained to agree with
him. Mr.. and Mrs. Tullar will
give possession of the property on
the first day Of November and de-
part for California in the hopes
Of improving the health Of Mrs.
Tullar, who has been FAR from

sorry to part with the Tullars.

Thor Larsen has returned from
a four-weeks' stay in the Golden
Valley. He says. north Of Beach,
wheat is going from 20 to 30
bushels to the acre. Thor paid
our former friend and townsman,
Ben Roddle, visit and says Ben
and his estimable wife are enjoy
ing good health and prosperity.
Thor says that aside from pleas
ant visit with the Roddles he was
out Of luck all through. In the
first place he did not feel much
like working. and when he did
take a notion to work he hired
out to a man as meat-cutter.
The man was so much surprised
that he went daffy the very same
morning and took a dose Of
strychnine and bottle Of pop fol
a chaser. This closed the opening
for Thor and he came home wear

The family Of the late Chas.
Voller returned Saturday evening
for Fargo, where they had been to
perform the last sad rites for the
beloved husband and father.
r Gunder Olson, the genial re-
publican nominee for state
treasurer, was Beach visitor
from Grafton this week, the
guest of his old friend, Ed. How
erson, who was formerly Of that
city. Mr.. Olson is one Of the
most popular candidates on the
republican ticket, and in speak
ing of the gubernatorial contest
expressed himself as being very
confident of C.. A. Johnson's elec-
tion over John Burke. This seems
to be the sentiment of all repub-
licans this year, and the Chronicle
also believes that johnson will!
snow Burke under by a big ma
jority.

PERTAINING TO
THE SCHOOLS
Beach Institution Of Learning Be-.
Gins Years Work.. k..-EnfoIlment
the Largest on Record

The raucus voice Of the school
bell Monday morning summoned
the pupils back to their studies,
after a long season of rest and
recreation. rhe sound Of the
bell was more or less welcome
to the juvenile population, many
Of whom could. apparently. go On
playing forever. The schoo! starts
out this year with brighter pros
poets than ever before, better
equipped, and with stronger
staff Of instructors. BY the first
of the year it will have better
quarters. BY which time the spa
cious new addition will be finished
and furnished for occupancy.
This additional space was very
much needed last year, the
schools being quite Unexpectedly
cramped for room. Even now it
is difficult to predict how long it
will be before the cit: will need
additional school facilities, so
rapidly is the place growing. and
it is hinted that the next addi-
tiona! space will be in a separate
building located on the north side,
which arrangement would have
every argument in its favor.
When the schools opened Mon.
day there were enrolled 2O4 pu-
pills. as compared with ll3 last
year. and 50 the year before.
The High school starts off with an
enrolment of IS, which is more
than good. Prof. Nelson is feel.
ing very gay over this showing.
The school election held on
Monday did not arouse very much
enthusiasm-in fact. only about
nine votes had been cast up to the
shank of the evening. Prof. Mel.
son got busy and induced a lot Of
people to go and vote. and the re.
suit was that a total of 81 were
cast. The proposition voted on
was the bonding of the school dis.
trict in the sum Of $4,000, with
which to pay for the new addition
to the school building. now in
course of construction. Thirty Of
the voters were of the opinion
that the proposition ought to car
ry, and one ssthou otherwise
1t carried.

Famous Row Of Six to Have Another

Beach is to have another eleva-
tor. 1t has eight now and another
will make nine. Fact!
To the average person it would
appear that this city, with eight
big elevators, has its full quota,
but it seems otherwise. At any
rate, the material has been pur-
chased, the contractor is here on
the ground and work has been
commenced. T. E. Lahart, the
well-known elevator builder, is
the man who will erect the new
house. which he says will be COM
pleted within three weeks. barring
bad weather, Of course.
T. L. Smith is one Of the three
or four moving spirits in the en-
terprise, and Mr.. Smith informs
us that they had chance to buy
the materials cheap and purchased
it for about so per cent of its
actual cost. This material and
equipment was bought originally
for erection on the 500 road at
| Minot, but the house was not put
up for the very good reason that
the grain crops in that section
are practically nil.
It is the intention to form q
stock company and run the eleva.
tor on the cooperative plan, but
no grain will be purchased this
fall. Some flax may be received
for storage, but that is all.

Thousands and thousands of acres
were not considered worth cutting

ROOSEVELT TO
UNITE PARTY
Doughty Colonel Would Reconcile
Warning Factions --ln Favor Of
All that Is Good In Both

The unifcation Of the republic
can party seems to be the chief
object of the western trip Of
Colonel Roosevelt. says the Fargo
Forum.
That he has no u!terior motive
in his swing around the circle" is
the conclusion reached by people
who have studied his utterances
and studied the man while he.
was il Fargo.
He is kindly disposed toward
President Taft and hopes for the
latter's denomination.
Theodore Roosevelt has had ali
the honors the presidency can be-
stow and is now in no sense
candidate for the nomination in
1912, under existing conditions.
Should Taft positively decline
to become a candidate, should
Taft align himself strongly with
the interests Roosevelt regards as
strongly antagonistic to the coun-
try-then Roosevelt might feel it
to be his duty to enter the race.
Roosevelt stands for republican,
ism not factionalism. He's for
all that's good in the staiwart
camp and for all that's good in
! the insurgent end. He is against
all that's bad in either faction.
He. like everyone else, sees
that republican success can be had
only with a united party. He
wants the party to maintain its
political integrity and will work
to that end.
Roosevelt is live wire, full Of
energy. snap and vigor. He
cannot sit at his desk as some
men do. He wanted to get out
in the west he loves and under
stands 80 we'll. To feel the public
pulse-to learn what the people
are thinking about-to get at
first hand what they demand.
This seems to have been a
factor in his trip.
While in Fargo Mr.. Roosevelt
positively declined to give poli-
tical interview. He held confer
ences with stalwarts, insurgents
and democrats, but the confer
ences were usually of a personal
rather than a political nature.
No one who talked with him
can boast that he gave any assist
ance to either North Dakota fac
tion. He advised laying aside
petty strifes.
Both the stalwarts and the in
surgents claim his trip to Fargo
has been helpful to the republican
party Of this state and means the
election of the entire state ticket.
North Dakota republicans are
glad that he has been here and
believe his sincerest ambition is
to maintain the integrity of the
republican party and make the
organization cleaner and stronger.

THE PROPER
SPIRIT SHOWN
Marmarth Paper Anxious for Peace
full Division Of County Possible
with Aid Of Golden Valley

Marmarth Mail: Another coun-
ty division scheme has been
sprung. A number of the resi-
dents of township 1856, range
105.106 recently induced the citi-
zens Of Beach to join them in an
effort to block all chances Of
their being thrown into the pro-
posed Butte county. They are
circulating another petition which
is in harmony with the Golden
Valley project. The petition is
being circulated in the western
portion of what is called Butte
county and it is receiving general
support. j. R. Smith Of fax fame
and Atty. Andrews Of Beach and
Col. Moore Of 136-105 were in
Marmarth Wednesday in the in.
terest of the new scheme.
AS soon as they receive the re.
quired number Of names they pro.
pose to call a meeting Of all in.
terested citizens of both parts
and arrange for a vigorous cam.
paign. We are not certain as to
the name of the proposed new
county embraced in No. 4. but it
is rumored that they have adopted
the name of Slope as sug.
gested by The Mail last spring.
The new idea meets with quite
general sympathy in Marmarth,
as most citizens here believe that
without cooperation with the
Golden Valley no division project
could win.

A New Case of ENGLISH Humor

Two southerners were entertaining
an Englishman when one of them told
the following story:
'"There was poor white in our cOun-
ty named Yarrow, whom every one
thought dishonest, but who had never
been caught stealing. At last he got
too bold, and through the testimony Of
a Mr.. Brown he was sent to Jail. Soon

Brown was obliged to go to Baltimore

Mixed His Poetry.

Mixed metaphors, observation-disclosures
and inattention have caused many
laughable incidents. Teachers in the
elementary grades of the public
schools especially hear many of these
amusing "breaks.''
One day bright youth in one of the
higher grades of Kensington school
during an elocution period furnished
an addition to the long list. He mixed
up two poets with result that pro-
voked much laughter in the school.
He quoted, or, rather, misquoted, as
follows:
Oh, woman, in our hours of ease,
Uncertain, coy and hard to please;
But, seeing too Off, become familiar with
her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.
