DICKINSON Federal site
Is soon TO BE LOCATED

Postmaster N. C. Lawrence is in re-
ceipt of letter from Congressman L.
B. Hanna of Fargo saying that the site
agent from the treasury department at
Washington will soon be in Dickinson
for the purpose of inspecting and report
in < on the federal sites offered in this
city.
However. in advance of his coming
he will telegraph Mr.. Lawrence so as to
give the matter as much publicity as
possible.
This treasury agent has a number ol
cities in North Dakota in which site.
are to be located and it is likely that he
will stop at Valley City and Mandan en-
route to Dickinson. There are also sites
in the northern part of the state to be
located. So it is not quite sure when
he will reach this city.
However, when he does come, he will
consult the business men and in all
probability get a meeting of the CON-
mercial club. He will then report his
findings to the treasury department for
final action.

FRANK MEAD SELLS LAND
And WILL WINTER IN FLA,

F. P. Mead recently sold 400 acres OF
land eight miles from Belfield for a lump
sum of $9,0 900. The purchaser was C. v.
klingman, resident of Stark county
for some years, who has about 900 acres
under cultivation this year. This fact
shows that home people are willing to
buy Stark county land at $22. so pei
acre. which seems like a pretty good
price as compared with the figures of a
few years since. Mr.. Mead's early land
investment proved profitable to him
anyway.
However, Mr.. Mead did not sell his
farm because he had any dislike for
North Dakota. where he has resided for
10 years. On the contrary. he likes the
country and retains his fine new house
in Belfield which is rented at $35 per
month for the winter to Vim. F. Gobius.
manager of the Holland Co. properties at
Belfieid and South Heart, whose wife is
expected over from Holland before long.
The Mead house in Dickinson is also
retained and band of 60 fine mares
and horses which range on the Maybe
creek 90 miles north of BelGeld.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mead and two sons left
the last of the week on their way to
Florida, where they will spend the win:
ter in the vicinity of St. Cloud. They
stop over in Staples, Minn.. until Mon
day. and, plan to travel by day stop
ping off for the night at points along

Theodore Roosevelt Had 125 Majority N Convention
for Chairman Taft Administration Endorsed Platform Out
lined by Progressves. Henry Stimson Nominated for
Governor. Roosevelt Victory Means Much to Nation

The victory of Roosevelt in the first
counting of noses did not appear to dis
hearten the ''old guard" for they con-
tinued their fight on the convention
floor when the progressive submitted
resolutions whereby the committees
should be made by representatives from
each congressional district, the mem.
bers to be named by the temporary
chairman. Seeing that this gave abso-
lutte power to Roosevelt, Speaker Wads-
worth of the assembly strongly opposed
the resolution He took the position
that each congressional district should
name its own members, as had been
done in previous years. The progress
sives, however, were in the ascendency.
and the resolutions as drafted by friends
of Mr.. Rooseve 1t were carried.
Saratoga. N. Y. Sept. 28.-The re-
publican state convention this evening
named Henry L. Stimson of New York,
as its candidate for governor.
The nomination of Mr.. Stimson was
one more victory for Col. Roosevelt,
who personally led the fight for the
nomination of his candidate. COM

from the moment the convention was
called to order yesterday afternoon until

DICKINSON
K.C. COUNCIL
City Gets 4th Charter in North
Oak. List of 50 Full. Nov.
13 is The Day. Many
Visitors Expected.

For several weeks the knights of
Columbus of Dickinson have been work.
ing to get a Council for the city, and
have finally succeeded in getting char
ter for so, including IA old X. C. men,
bers and 36 new ones. The new men,
bes have been passed upon by local
committee of five and also by B. /.
Keating, district deputy of Fargo.
The local X. C. members found that
Mandan was after a Council and they
did some lively diminishing to get the
fourth Council of the state at Dickin-
son, the others being at Fargo, Grand
Forks and Minot. Thus it will be seen
that the four corners of the state are
represented by this great American
Catholic order. now numbering 800. 900
members. and it is not likely that any
other charters will be granted for North
Dakota cities for at least two or three
years.
The local committee which had so
much to do with getting the Dickinson
Council is T. F. Murtha, secretary Fr.
John Dlenam. treasurer; j. F. Brodie,
H. L. Reichert and John Boulger
On Sunday, November 13, the Dickin-
son Council will be instituted, the Fargo
Council having charge of the work. The
Knights and candidates will attend Mass
at St. Patrick's church in the forenoon,
and in the afternoon and evening the
first three degrees ill be exemplified,
followed by the election of officers who
will hold Office until the first of the year.
The work will be put on in the opera
house, but it is probable that the BAN
quet in the evening will be Given in the
arm0ry.
There is talk of the Dickinson Council
getting the present Masonic hall quar-
tiers in the First National Bank build
ing after the completion of the new
Masonic temple.
The Knights of Columbus is an insur-
ance as we'll ss social order and there
are 80 of the local members who will
carry insurance.
1t is estimated that at least 300 visit
ing Knights of Columbus members will
be in the city on November IS, and
some speaker of national reputation will
be present to help entertain and en-
Tighten on this auspicious occasion.
The Dickinson people are to be con-
graduated on having committee with
influence sufficient to secure the Council
for the city. The committee had the
geographical location in their favor,
backed by splendid city. but it took
some hard work on their part to con-
vince the head Council that Dickinson
and not Mandan was the place to locate
the Council for Western North Dakota.

BUSINESS COLLEGE OPENED
NIGHT WORK A SPECIALITY

The Dickinson business College has
been in session one week now, under
the management of C. r. Price. The
work has been thoroughly started and
quite number of pupils enrolled, both
for day and night courses. A visit to
the college and an explanation of their
working methods is sufficient to make
anyone see that q course in this school
is as good. and in many cases better,
than what can be gotten in the larger
institutions east.
MI: Price is an able Instructor and
has an ambition to build up college
here that will not be surpassed by any
of its kind anywhere and If the people
will become interested and cooperate,
Dickinson will, no doubt, in short
time, be proud of her commercial insti-
tuition.
Mr.. Price is ably assisted in the STE
nographic branches by Miss Bessie Wal
ford from the Mankato Commercial
college.
These teachers use the best and most
up-to-date methods of teaching COM
mercial and business branches and are
taking an unusual interest in the build
in9 up of the work here.
Particular mention should be made of
the night work offered by tl,is school.
For anyone desiring q knowledge Of all
or any one Of the branches offered this
is IN especially good opportunity, or for
anyone wanting just little touching
up alope these lines a month q moro OF
the night work would be just the thing.
The same advantages and attention is
given as to the day students and MI.
Price is putting particular stress on pen
manship, spelling and arithmetic.
The school is open on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday evenings fol
work, the session being from to 9 p.
m, and the tuition rates the manage
ment is Offering now to build up thei,
work, ought to be grasped as an oppor-
tunity.
