County Politics
Twelve Candidates Out for County
Offices and More to Follow
Representatives to be Elected

Politics in Billings county are
more on the quiet order this year.
A large number Of candidates have
announced themselves, but no &C.
tive work so far has been done nor
any declarations made. So far
twelve candidates have announced
themselves for the different coun-
ty offices, but as yet no legislative
candidates have appeared. Billings
and Bowman counties now comprise
the 39th distict and three repre-
sentatives must be elected. Being
that Billings county has the senat-
or, it is more than likely that Bow.
man county will demand two Of
the representatives. and if this is
conceded them the third will be
selected from this section.
For the county Offices, three
candidates have announced them.
selves for sheriff; F. H. Konczak,
of Beach and w. M. Nuens and
Henry Willof Medora. For audi
tor there is but one candidate So
far in the field, j. A. McGergor.
For register Of deeds, county
Judge and county treasurer there
is also but one candidate each,
]. C. West ,rgaard of Alpha. j. A.
Paxton of Medora and j. E. Arnold
of Beach, respectively. For county
superintendent of schools. there
are two candidates, ]. A. Kitchen
of Sentinel Butte and j. B. Linger
formerly Of Sentinel Butte, but
now Of Beach. For states attor
ney there are two candidates, R
F. Gallagher and Joseph Denoyer
and the contest for this Office
will probably be a lively one be
tween these two aspirants, pro
vided no one else enters Fol
clerk Of court there is yet no can
didate who has announced him
self. but it will probably 500,
be spoken for.
May % is the last day in which
petitions may be filed for an!
county Offices. so there are still
seven weeks for candidates t,
come forward, and in all likelihood
q large number will come out be
fore that time arrives.
The primaries are held on Jun,
10Th this year and on that day tn,
voters will probably have goot
assortmnet of timber from whicl
to pick the different county officers

E. E. NOBLE
ELECTED MAYOR
A Quiet Election and a Good Ticket
Selected ---Contest for Alderman
Brings Out Big Vote

The annual city election passed
off quietly last Monday and full
city ticket was elected. E. E.
Noble, president of the First
National Bank, was elected mayor,
receiving every vote cast, l09. G.
D. Lowell, Ed. Hoverson, Chas.
Harkins and Otto Stensrud were
selected as aldermen at large;
Theo. Maanum for treasurer; F.
E. Heath for police magistrate
and w. A, Bond for city justice.
There was no opposition for any
of the Offices except for one Of
the aldermen. C. V. Knox and
Otto Stensrud were the opposing
candidates in this instance, the
latter winning by 25 majority.
However, it was a good natured
contest and left no sore spots. Mr..
Knox had been nominated at the
caucus which was held Saturday
night, while Mr.. Stensrud's name
was put up by his friends Monday
morning.
The ticket elected is good one,
being strictly business mems
ticket. They are an active and
progressive bunch of fellows and
will always be on the lookout to
get the best of everything for
Beach, and at the same time guard
the city's interests carefully.
Mr.. Noble as mayor, is the right
man in the right place, and the
fact that he received every vote
cast, shows what the people think
of him as the city's executive.
Messrs. Lowell. Hoverson. Har-
kins and Stensrud as aldermen
could not be improved upon.
They are active, progressive and
pubic spirited, and are men with
business experience who will know
how to conduct a businesslike
administration and give everyone
square deal.
F. E. Heath for police magis-
trate also received the full vote
cast, while Messrs. Maanum and
Bond received lO8 and LOG respect
lively, which was practically a unan-
imous choice for these offices.
109 votes is the largest vote ever
cast in Beach and shows how rapid
ly the city is growing in popula-
tion. There has been considerable
talk since election as to the number
of inhabitants in Beach, but it is
hard to arrive at any definite fig
ure. Some put it as high as 1, 500,
while the more conservative put
the number at 1000. At any rate
the town is fast becoming a city
in reality and the Chronicle believes
that $500 will be conservative
estimate of our pouplatin before
January /, 1911.

ITS FACILITIES
Will Construct $40 Miles Of New
Road in North Dakota This Year
---Means Much to the State

The Northern Pacific is actively
engaged in developing transporta-
tion lines in North Dakota.
The contract has been let for a
railroad from Pingree in Stuts-
man county to Wilton in Burleigh
county, about ninety miles. This
will open up some good lands in
Stutsman, Kidder, and Burleigh
counties, capable Of supporting a
large population engaged in the
raising of wheat, clover and other
crops. and particularly in the cattle
and dairy business, for which the
region is eminently adapted.
With the Northern Pacific line
from Darlington to Turtle Lake
on the north, and the main line
from jamestown to Bismarck on
the south, after the completion of
this new line there will be no land
in these three counties more than
fifteen miles from a railroad.
With this maximum wagon haul
the highest developement and
prosperity is possible.
The Northern Pacific has finished
the grading of its line from Man
dan to Stanton through Oliver
and Mercer counties, west Of and
lying on the Missouri river, and
the metal will be laid on this
grade early this spring, thus finish.
ing fifty-three miles of railroad
that will help to serve the rich
and growing counties of Oliver
and Mercer.
Surveys will shortly be run from
some point on this line up the
Knife river valley so as to furnish
better transportation facilities
for Oliver, Mercer and Dunn coun'
ties. rhe Knife river, the valley
of which is very rich and the eli
mate pleasant. flows into the Mis-

1t is expected that the metal will
be laid on these grades in time TO

The Northern Pacific is also ar
ranging to put some additiona

and to continue to improve it

ballast all through the state.
From this it can be seen that tn
new construction by the Northern
Pacific in North Dakota amount
to about three hundred and te
miles which is substantial addi

of the growing state of Mort

is to stop food that evidently has not been

Then, when food is required, use an easily
digested food. Grape-Nuts or any other II

before taking).
We brought to Court analytical chemists
from New York. Chicago and Mishawaka, Ind,
who swore to tho analysis Of Grape-Nuts and
that part OF the starchy part of the wheat and
barley had been transformed into sugar, the
kind Of sugar produced in the human body by
d~igesting starch (the large part of food).
Some of the State chemists brought on by

called a "predigested" food because not all Of
1t was digested outside the body.
The other chemists said any food which had
been partly or half digested outside the body
was commonly known as "predigested."
Splitting hairs about the meaning Of a word.
1t is sufficient that If only one-half Of the
food is "predigested," 1t is easier on weakened
stomach and bowels than food in which no
part is predigested.

She is still a fairly hale old woman,
and for nearly one hundred years
worked in the fields. Her descendants
number close on 100, and these now
make her a joint allowance. She lives

An Unnecessary Confession.

A hearty laugh was occasioned at,
the Birmingham police court by a priss.
oner who gave himself away in q very
delightful manner. The man was the
first on the list, and the charge against
him was merely one Of being drunk
and d~isorderly. He stepped into the
dock, however, Just at the moment
when the dock officer was reading out
a few Of the cases which were to come
before the court that morning, and a
guilty conscience apparently led him
to mistake these items fer a list of his
previous convictions.
He stood passive enough while tho
officer read out about a dozen drunk
and disorderlies, but when he came to

claimed excitedly, THAT was eight
years ago, your honor" Everyone be-
gan to laugh. and the prisoner, realiz-
ing the blunder he had made, at first
looked very black indeed, but finally
saw the humorous side of the matter,
and q broad smile spread over his face.
His blunder did not cost anything
