When we reach for the telephone to
do some one of the hundred things that
can be attended to in that manner, we
do not realize what a wonderful insti-
tuition the little instrument has become
nor the part it has played in modern
progress and achievement. Leslie's
Weekly says there are over ten million
telephone stations in the world. The
statistics also show that there are over
twenty-seven million miles of tele-
phone wire and that two-thirds of the
telephones and wire mileage are in the
United States. The telephone business
is put in the third rank among this
country's Industries, putting it in the
basis of per capita investment. 1t is
slightly exceeded by the iron and steel
and the foundry and machine interests.
In Europe, Germany leads all other
countries in the number of stations,
boasting some nine thousand. Los
Angeles, CAL, leads the world in the
number of telephone subscribers to
population. Stockholm. Sweden, runs
a close second. The telephone invest
ment of the world OF January /. 1910.

NO MORE Communication
PROOFS IN DICKINSON DIST.

According to Instructions issued from
the general land Office on September 8,
there will be no more communication proofs
in the Dickinson U. S. land district.
The paragraph which refers to this
matter reads:
With reference to homestead entries
made under the provisions of this act,
attention is called to the fact that the
said act of February 19, 1909, (subject
to which, as to residen &c and cultiva-
ton, such homestead entries must be
made), provides that mo entry made
under this act shall be committed as
Stat, 500. This, then requires a resi-
dence for the full period of five years to
entitle the homesteader to patent Their e.
under. The latter act also provides that
in addition to the proof and afidavits
required under section 1921 of the Re-
vised Statues the entryman shall prove
by two credible witnesses that at least
0n%e-eighth of the area of the area en-
braced in his entry was continuously
cultivted to agricultural crops. other
than native grasses. beginning with the
second year of the entry, and that at
least one-fourth of the area embraced in
the entry was so continuously cultivated
beginning with the third year of the
entry.

NELSON BLK, At BElFlELD

The new brick store building about

have good quarters. Steam heats the

ventilated. arranged in the most modern
way. Those who get such rooms as
these will be fortunate.
The brick in this fine structure were
made in Dickinson, and it looks as
though Mr.. Nelson had made q good in
vestment. He has certainly shown his
faith in n of the best villages in
Western North Dakota. This is not all
that Contractor Nelson has done for Bel

family n of the neatest homes in the:
place, which is q 8 God example tor any

East is getting through its head. this
banker thinks. The Maine election
hasn't upset the enlargine confidence of
New York. which is accustomed to shy
at every political white paper like a
horse in the street. After imagining
every possible fear and seeing not one
verified. New York is nesting down to
a hope that has become at last a conf
dence. that the Republic will endure,
that our people still are sober and
American prosperity q fact to be relied
upon.
The thought a has been rolled in
upon the East from the West. The
West knows that prosperity is en-
dangered on the farm, and in conse-
quence the West is usually somewhat
ahead of the East in its perception of
prosperity's arrival or continuance.
The West knows that there is health
and not sickness in the political aei-
tation that is going On. The political
movement is wholesome for its objec-
tives are wholesome things. Corrupt
politics is economic waste, and check
ing of corruption is the checking of
vast. The political reform that is de-
manded will not only better politics,
but will better business. 1t contains
no real threat to business, but on the
contrary will conserve and develop
business. -Minneapolis Journal.

MACHINE SHOP
SOON IN new QUARTERS

The Dickinson Machine and Repair
Shop, operated by William Nichol in the
Russell Commission Co. building, oppo-
site the Heaton Lumber Co. yard. the
past three months. is 500 to have new
quarters. The new location will be a
block north of the N. P. freight depot
on the Robert Fisher lots.
VIM. Nichol is a splendid mechanic,
one of the old school workmen from Eng
land, and he has been so successful with
all machine work that he has undertaken
that he finds his business increasing
rapidly. He is able to do almost any
kind of repair work on engines, but in
order to facilitate business. he will soon
put in additional machinery.
The Fisher boys. John. Robert. Thomas
and Joe, are all good mechanics and are
helping Mr.. Nichol out at times.
Mr.. Nichol is we'll satisfied with the
work he IS getting. He gives the bust
ness his personal attention, in fact he
had no other business and knows no
trade except that Of %mechainst. and
there is every reason to believe that he
will soon have a machine shop the equal
of anything this side of St. Paul. Mr..
Nichols father is also a fine workman
and it is possible that he will decide &c

eyer COTTAGE BURNED
OCCUPANTS LOST ALL

A dramatic story is connected with
the burning of n of the Fred Eyer
cottages in the eastern part of the city
on Sunday evening. MI. and Mrs. VIM.
Cline, a young couple who came here
from Washburn, N. D., about two
months ago. were living in this cottage
and were spending the evening away
from home. When the fire alarm was
sounded about 8 AS it never occurred t
them that it might be their home on
fire, and one can imagine the unpleas-
ant shock on returning home at 10
O'Clock to find everything in ashes.
1t is not known how the fire started.
One of the neighbors, on seeing the
blaze. sent in the alarm AS the build
ing was about six blocks from the
nearest water main. or beyond reach of
the fire hose, nothing could be done in
the way of extinguishing the flames,
and nothing of the contents were saved.
The nearby cottage, also owned by Mr..
Eyer. was somewhat scorched by
the flames.
These cottages were formerly a part
of the old N. P. lunch room, being
remodeled about a year ago into houses.
Mr.. Eyer had $500 insurance on the
houses, and Mr.. and Mrs. Cline had their
household goods insured for $500, all in
the John Orchard agency in the PRESS
building.

UTTERED TRUE PROPHECY

Fifty years ago. William Henry
Seward, who was not far from being
the first citizen of the republic, who
but for a political trick might have
been president, stood upon the steps
of the Minnesota capitol at St. Paul.
and spoke large words in anticipation
of the large future he saw stretched out
before him. Little as was the capital
city of that day, some ten thousand
souls according to the decennial ensus
of the year, and far inland as it was,
without railroad. with only the Missis-
sippi for carrying trade, St. Paul was
definitely on that day the center of the
country as it wat two weeks ago, when
Presi dent Taft and first citizen spoke
large and warning words. to which the
future must listen.
Within less than a decade Mr.. Seward
made one part of his prophecy come
true he annexed those o%utposts''
which Russia had erected on the
Alaskan border, and made them ''out-
posts of my own country" Certain
elements of his prophecy are still to be
fulfilled. But in spite of the facts that
Canada is practically an independent
nation today, that Argentina and
Mexico are celebrating their centennials
of independence, that prophecy does
not ring empty. There is, rel this
double continent. an identity of des-

than hoped. There is every effort being

by Root and Taft and others, to secure
greater unity. essential unity, whatever

ABOUT suLLY's EXPEDITION
ORIGINAL MAY SECURED

The State Historical Society of North
Dakota has received a valuable docu-
ment pertaining to the history of our To-
cality. Since Curator H. G. Fish was
out here looking up the battle of the
Kildeers there has been a great deal of
interest aroused concerning the early
expedition of Sully. A. S. Maloney of
Williston, member of the law firm of
Burdick & Maloney, became interested
in the Sully movement in this state
and obtained as a loan an old map of
the Sully expedition.
This map belongs to D. ]. Dodge of
Waseca. Mimi. When Mr.. Dodge heard
that MIR. Maloney was coming to North
Dakota he showed him the map and told
him to take it along and see how the
country had changed.
Sergeant J. S. Stoddard of Co. C End
MINI. Vol. cavalry. drew this map and
for the sake of old times it was given
to Mr.. Dodge. It is a free hand draw
inc, but shows the line of march COM
plete in red. It also gives the charac-
teristics Of the country through which
they marched. dates and stopping places
are placed thereon; battles and lesser
events and the old corral is placed there.
This was drawn in the winter of 1865
at Fort Wordsworth, afterwards Fort
Sisseton, following the return of the
troops from the plains. Mr.. Stoddard
got his data from a diary he had kept
on the trip and carefully drew every
tn ing as he remembered it.
This map will aid the society inset
thing some of the hazy parts of the data
they have on hand. There are in all
probability many more of these early
records and the society should get hold
of as much of this material as possible
before the real fighters with Sully have
passed the Great Divide.

POTTERY AND CLAY WORKING

Babcock of the College of Mining engine

the University of North Dakota is not
