North Star Lumber Co. to Build

The writer was shown the plans
for the new Office and yards of
the North Star lumber company by
the manager. Mr.. E. E. Lee, We'd
nesday. The plans provide for the
rebuilding of the entire plant, the
Office to be a nifty building, finish
ed in manner entirely foreign to
the average lumber office, with liv-
ing rooms on the second floor, to
be occupied by Mr.. Lee and his
family. The sheds, too, and fences
will be rebuilt and the yards COM
pletely rearranged and when the
work is completed it will be one
of most complete and convenient
retail lumber yards in the entire
west.

Man GOES
ON WARPATR
|rate Husband Breaks Up Drinkfest
With a Gun and Aa|es Forgettul
Spouse Home to Family
"The wicked flee when no
man pursueth."

Yea, and sometimes they get a
hump on themselves and have to
hustle like sixty to keep an open
length of daylight, or darkness
las the case may be), ahead Of the
avenging pursuer, who has blood
in his eye, murder in his heart
and a big six-shooter in his hand
and is bent on having gore.
The situation in Beach during
the past week has been rather
tense, commencing early in the
week, to be exact. about Is min
utes after the week began, or
about 1915 Sunday morning, when
the opening shots were fired, at
which time one of our prominent
citizens commenced to get him
otherwhere-to seek greener pas
tures-and. we believe, considered
himself lucky to get away with a
hide which would hold beer, or
anything at all.
1t was this way: Four young
people, two ladies and two gentle
men, had gathered together in one
Of our grain repositories for a
little function, at which q case
Of beer was the piece de resist
ance. Three of the company were
unmarried; the other was the wife
of a gentlemen to whom no invi-
tation had been issued. The hus-
band naturally resented the slight,
and went cunning.
At the hour above named he
presented himself at the outer
door Of the granary and demanded
admittance. Receiving no an.
swer, he opened up with his gat-
ling gun on the window, the shot
hitting the scale beam and barely
missing the anatomy Of one Of
the male convivialists. who hasti-
ly concluded that it was time to
admit bearer. He opened the
door and had another bullet passed
about an inch beneath his nose. A
parley ensued, after which the wife
was ushered into the open, the
husband taking a few friendly
wallops at her jaw, just to remind
her who was boss. The party then
broke up, one gentleman taking
to his heels, and the presumption
is that he is still going. At any
rate, he's not around here any
more.
The man behind the gun paid a
small fine for diturbing the peace
and quiet Of our Sabbath, then took
his family and left the city.
At least a couple of others are
missing from "our midst" but of
that more anon.

NOT A BOOM;
JUST GROWTH
Beach's Building Operations Re-
sumed. 1910 Will Eclipse All
Preceding Years for Construction

It is wise Beach citizen who is
able to recognize his own neigh
borhood these days. especially if he
has been gone from home all day.
He is apt to find, on arising in
the morning, new dwellings rising
in the air on lots where there were
none the preceding day and won't
know who his prospective neigh
bors are. The soft spell of wealth
er has been the signal for a renew
al of activities in building, and
every man who can saw board
reasonably straight or hit a nail
on the head three times out Of
five is entitled to draw carpen-
ter's wages, and is doing it. too.
This promises to be the banner
year for building. both in the city
and on the farms, and particularly
the latter. Nearly every team
leaving town is laden with building
material. and the lumber yards
report a very good trade.
In the city the amount Of con-
struction planned, and already un-
der way, is nothing short of pro-
digious. and we firmly believe that
when the year 1911 shall have roll
led around that the city will be
twice it's present size. Certain
it is that it is one of the few live,
progressive towns of North Dakota,
and the only one in this portion of
the state that is showing much
sign Of activity. We have no
stones to throw at our sister towns.
but we believe we are telling the
truth.
This will be a fine field for me-
chanics this year, and good ones
will be able to take down hand
some wages. There will be work
enough for all.

CoIIis Wins His Home

His many frie ads in this vicin-
ity will be pleased to know that
w. C. Coils, the farmer-rancher
living south of Sentinel Butte, was
victorious in the matter of de.
Tending his rights to his home,
mention of the suit being made in
the Chronicle Of last week.
The following brief account of
the victory is taken from the
Dickinson Press:
Holding the United States had
jurisdiction in the matter, the case
Of O. j. deLendrecie against VIM.
C. Collis was last Friday dismiss
ed by Judge Charles Amidon, the
issue never getting to the jury
that had been selected. The
plaintiff in the case resides in
Fargo while Mr.. Coils is q Bill
lings county homesteader from near
Sentinel Butte.
The question at issue was the
ownership Of a quarter section
of land which the paintiff pur.
chased from the N. P. rhe rail-
way company claimed that this
land was included in grant from
the state.
Mr.. Coils filed on the land as a
homesteader and secured title to
it in that manner. When Mr..
Collis returned to Dickinson he
found that the secretary of the
interior had just made a favor
able ruling in the case, so he is
we'll satisfied.

CLASSIFIED
Under Prof. Nelson School Earns a
Position in Third Glass and Sum
Of 100000 per Annum

AS a. result Of High School In
spector Heyward's recent visit to
the schools Of our city they have
been placed on the classified list,
as the following communication
from the State Department of Pub.
lie Instruction will show:
Bismarck, Jan. 25, 1910.
TO the Clerk of the School District
Of Beach:
My Dear Sir-rhis is to inform
you that your school has been
classified as State High School
of the third class. 1. trust that
this recognition of your school will
prove an incentive to better things
in the future. This classification
has been made subject to the carry
ing out on your part of the recon-
mendations made by the High
School Inspector when he visited
your school. Kindly let me hear
from you at an early date with
reference to this.
In closing wish to say that. in
my judgment, a good. strong

than any other institution, and
trust you will maintain your high
school at it's highest efficiency.
Yours very truly,
w. L. Stockwell,
Superintendent.
Under this ruling our schools
will be entitled to state aid in the
sum of 100000 per annum, and as
this is the end to which Principal
Nelson has been working ever
since he came to Beach, it is need.
less to say that he is feeling pret.
ty happy. For that matter, every
citizen ought to feel good over it.

to midnight. when, at the exact
hour, all voting will be closed, and
the contestants will be called
upon themselves to select
four distinterested. local busi-
ness men to act with the contest
manager as judges. AS soon as
the voting ceases all the coupons
or ballots will be placed in the
large ballot box, which has not
been opened since the contest
started, and in which the votes have
all been deposited from time to
time. AS soon as the judges are
selected they will be furnished
with can opener and proceed to
open this ballot box which is to
tell the story. The ballot box
will be opened and contents count
ed publicly AS soon as the count
is made and approvd by the judges
they will make their decision and
award the prizes, which decision
will be final. However, the in
terested parties will he given a
chance to register any protest
which they may have, and such
protest or complaints, if there be
be any, will be heard and consid-
cred by the judges before their
final decision is made and prizes
awarded. In this way the award
ing Of the prizes will be almost
entirely out of the publishers S
hands, and no favoritism could
possibly be shown in any way.
Those who win will win on their
merits, and those who lose will
have no one to blame..
PRESENT STANDING
The vote was very light this
week, which goes to show that
the contestants are holding back
and endeavoring to conceal their
real strength. In fact, some who
many have considered entirely out
of the race, are still working and
keeping their votes up their sleeve.
There are liable to be some big
surprises before long, and still
greater surprises when the count
is made. And why shouldn't there
be? Do you think that a $3.50
Ford touring car, with full equip
ment and freight paid, meaning
a total value Of over $1,000, will
go to some one by default? Not
much! There's going to be. a big
scramble for this handsome and
valuable gift and those who are
in the race had better make every
minute count from now until the
finish. It will mean about $50 per
day for your time from now until
the close if you win the first prize.
Think it over again and renew
your [efforts toward carrying off
the honors on the evening of Feb.
81. We've done our part, fand it
is now up to you. Here's the way
they stand at the time of going to
press, with Mr.. Erickson ahead

NO. MORE STORE COUPONS
After Monday night, January
81, there will be no more store,
or merchants coupons issued, and
contestants after that date must
rely entirely in to their own efforts
in securing subscriptions and ad-
vertising for the paper. Any one
holding store coupons must see
that they are deposited before
that date in the store where they
were originally issued, otherwise
they will be void. No store cou-
pons will be accepted at the Chron-
icle Office under any circumstances,

On Feb. II, ten days before the
contest closes, the last published
standing will be given out, and

standing of the different contest
ants. To further guard the con-
testants and assure them all of
a square deal, secret voting will
be allowed through local bank,
whereby the contestants may de-
posit their votes with the money
in sealed envelopes, so that the
contest manager will not know
the amount Of votes deposited by
them, and will therefore not be in
a position to give out any "tips''
to any one as to the number of
votes required to win. During
the closing hours every one will be
in the dark as to the relative
standing Of the contestants, and not
until the judges, who are selected
by the contestants, open and make
the actual count, will any one know
who the winners are to be.

ported to some extent. Austria has
put on a prohibitive duty of s. II per
go pounds. Turkey now permits the
importation Of comestible cotton seed
oil, and the quantity sold there is rap
idly increasing. In Scandinavia cotton
seed oil is replacing peanut oil in the
manufacture OF the best grades OF mar
garin. 1t is being tested also for sar-
dine packing. Bulgaria prohibits its
importation unless it is denaturized, but
about 5000 barrels annually are i'm
ported into Servia. Roumania placed
on cotton seed oil a duty six times as
high as on olive oil.
The shortage Of vegetable oils is
bringing the cotton product into great
er prominence, and the demand is
bound to increase steadily.

The Negro Upiift

People who do not believe that the
negro is making any advancement will
do well to take notice of the meeting
of the National Medical Association OF
Negro Physicians which began its ses-
sions in Washington August 23d. Just
few weeks previous to this the negro
Elks held their national convention In
Washington. From time to time other
negro associations meet IN the national
capital. The colored people are grad
ually becoming educated, and they can
be found in many positions of respon-
sibility in the government service. The
Civil Service commission recognized
no color line, and negroes are admitted
to the examinations, so that they are
frequently certified for vacancies occur
ing in the various branches of the gov
eminent service. This sometimes re-
suits in negroes getting appointments
from officials who would not willingly
employ negroes in their Offices if they
knew that they were doing so. Even
in the appointive Offices, however, ne
groes are recognized. The registrar
of the treasury is negro, and both
President Taft and former President
Roosevelt recognized the right Of the
colored people to be represented on
the government pay rolls. In many
cases, it must be said, the colored peo-
pie make efficient employees and Of
