suing year.
For official papers for 1910. The Dick
inson Press, Recorder and Richardton

When the board came to the deposi .
tory bids it was found that the law
specified that bids shall be taken in
odd numbered years.
The bid of Drs. Fisher & Goetsch for
county physician and hospital work was
the lowest and was accepted. The bid
of A. Y. Bayne Co. for county bridges
was likewise found to be the lowest and
was accepted.
DR.. H. A. Davis was reappointed
superintendent of the board of health.

should showed a balance of $32, O06. IS
on hand.
The board entered into an agreement
with the two city experts to check the
county Offices. In this connection. it is
understood that the state examiners
declined to give the county board their
findings, other than that if the figures
were wanted they must be procured from
the department at Bioma rex.

BUYS BUSINESS LOTS
E. p. Lee INVESTS 5000

This week E.P. Lee. proprietor of the
Dickinson Steam Laundry, purchased the
P. j. Pelissier corner on Third Ave. w.
p aging therefor 81, 600. The lots have
so feet frontage west and 141 feet north
and contain a small house and large
barn.
Mr.. Lee also purchased the two lots
belonging to Mrs. A. T. Crowl south in
the same block for a consideration of
81. 900. The lots face west and are
separated from Mr.. Lees corner by the
so feet belonging to L. A. Simpson.
1t is the plan of MI. Lee to eventually
erect a modern laundry plant on the
corner just purchased. His business
is increasing and in the course of a
little time he will have to enlarge.
Mr.. Lee is to be congratulated on get
ting this site. 1t is admirably situated
for his business.
Mr.. Lee is one of the best laundry
men in the northwest and he is the
kind of a man who will build up and
make Dickinson a distributing point
for laundry work between the Missouri
river and the Montana line.
Tie county board started in Friday
to check up the amount of forged
warrants. 1t is still a disputed question
who loses on account of the forgers.
States Attorney Mcbride does not think
that it will fall on the county. He is
of the opinion that the bond company
can be held for a good slice of the de-
falcation.

A little of the work remains uncom-
pleted on account of the early winter
weather. The city holds back enough
on Mr.. Kennedy's contract to cover
the cost of the work and also for re-
pairs of leakage that may develop
when the ground thaws in the spring..
When the telegraph franchise came
up for fiual reading, some of the alder
men thought that the city was asked for
too liberal a franchise and the matter
was referred for investigation.

Concerning the prediction of the

relates this tale: Wellington papers,
Or some of them, have had the patent
medicine habit for a great many years.
Tom Richardson started it years ago.
He had the advertising down to a sys-
tenn of his own. He took enough con-
tracts to fill a large edition of a present
dav yellow journal. He would stand at
the press and when a hundred or so
copies were run off. he would make an
entire change in the patent ads. This
would be done as many times as neces-
sary in order to get all the stun in.
Then he would go carefully over his
mailing list, and see that the particular
advertiser got the paper that contained
his advertisement. He had a weekly
paper, and plenty of time. so that his
i'm naf0nf medicine
vertisements would have made a for
tune every year for the ordinary man
with weekly newspaper tastes and ex-
penses. 1t was great scheme, but 1t
is probable that nobody on earth but
Tom Richardson could have worked it
successfully.
