new CASHIER
TAKES CHARGE
0. c. AttIetweed, Popular Cashier
at the FirstsNational, Receives a
Merited Promotion

At meeting held last Monday
night, the directors of the First
National Bank of Beach selected
.. C. Attletweed for their
cashier, to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Theo.
Maanum, who has been with the
institution and acting in that ca
pacity since its organization.
Mr.. Maanum resigned to take a
position with the firm of Overstad
& Hoverson. which he has now
entered upon, and in which he
sees better future.
Although the patrons Of the
First National are sorry to see
Mr.. Maanum leave the institution
they are more than pleased to see
his place filled by so capable a
man as the genial Mr.. Attle-
tweed. who has made a personal
friend of every patron of that
popular money mart. He came
60 Beach last December and
since that time has acted in the
capacity of assistant cashier and
stockholder. Before coming to
Beach he had been in the banking
business for five years at DEBORAH,
IOWA. his home town, with the
Citizens Savings Bank, acting in
the capacity of teller. He also
helped to organize the Sterling
State Bank at Sterling. N. Oak. ;,
and in many other ways is we'll
qualified to take the responsible
position which the owners of the
bank have given him.
The First National Bank is just
entering its second year and it
has made a record seldom
sequaled in the banking business.
According to it's statement it
has loaned to the people Of the
Valley over 100000 and has de-
posits of over 100000. This is
certainly splendid showing and
zee predict that Mr.. Attletweed
will continue to keep the institu.
tion in the front rank among the
banks in this section of the
country.

WHAT'S MATTER
WITH W|BAUX?
Persuades Passenger No. 3 to Stop
hete.-.Busy Beach, the Better
Place, Gets Inferior Service

Through the medium of the
railroad commissioners the people
Of Wibaux have Influenced the
Northern Pacific company to halt
passenger train No. 3 at that
point. The thing still continues
to skedaddle through Beach as
though it had a can tied to its tail,
and We can't help wondering if
the railroad company considers
Wibaux a better town than
Beach. Perhaps it is because the
people there have a little longer
pole with which to knock down
the persimmmons, and then, on
the other hand. perhaps our peo-
pie have not made the right kind
Of effort in this direction. We
suggest that the Commercial club,
the city council and folks general
ly, come out of their shells and
do something. Surely Beach pays
the road enough money to be en-
titled to better train facilities.
Here is what the Pioneer says
about the achievement:
The citizens of Wibaux should
feel highly pleased as result of
the recent action on the part of
the state board Of railroad com.
misioners in securing the addi-
tional local passenger service
afforded through the stopping of
No. 3 for all passengers bound for
points west of Glendive. Most
credit for this favorable action is
due Commissioner Morley OF
Butte, who. it is understood
was instrumental in getting the
order through.

THE MAIL man
IS OPTIMISTIC
Kelly Of Marmatth Gives Figures
to Show that Proposed Golden
Valley County Can Win

The Golden Valley people. &C.
cordng to promise, have shoul-
dered the burden of circulating
the petition for the segregation
Of the proposed new county of
Slope. B. F. Roddle. a former
resident of Marmarth but now a
real estate dealer at Beach, and
W. S. Davis, a pioneer home
teader of the Golden Valley, have
been working in Marmarth and vi.
entity this week. and together
with other parties who have been
working the country down the
river, have secured something
over two hundred names to their
petition, the required number be-
ing one hundred and sixty-six.
They purpose to continue their
campaign in this portion Of the
county up to election day. and
figure that if they can get the
pledge of two hundred votes in
the south end they can win with
out a doubt. Proposed Golden
Valley county consists of the fol-
lowing precincts and parts of
precincts: Sentinel Butte. Beach
twp. City of Beach. Lone Tree,
Alpha. Stoddard, Saddle Butte.
Elk Creek. McQuillan, one.half Of
Yule and one-half of Mikkleson.
The vote named in McQuillan
precinct was not recorded owing
to the failure of the inspector to
qualify. Take one-half the vote
Of Yule and Mikkleson at the re-
cent primary election, added to
the full vote of all other precincts
of the proposed new county OF
Golden Valley. and you will have a
majority of all the vote Of the
county. The tabulated abstrac,
Of the vote will tell you this
