THE LORD LOOKS
after HIS own
Bountifu| Rain Descends Upon the
Golden Valley Wednesday Night,
Insuring Big Crop Yield

The Golden Valley, that fav-
ored spot, enjoyed a beautiful
rain Wednesday night, which, from
al! reports, covered the entire
valley. Although crops had not
suffered. the rain came in good
season and caused everybody to
put on the broadest kind of grins.
A big crop is now practically
assured, while the territory both
east and west of us has suffered
untold damage, in some portions
the crops being complete loss,
there being no prospect Of even
getting the seed back.
In this immediate vicinity there
was fall Of Id inches as record
ed at the experiment station, two
miles east Of town, and the effect
on the lumber dealers in particular
was almost instantaneous. Many
large orders for building material
had been cancelled on account of
the dry weather, but n,xt day
farmers came in and announced
their intentions of building on
larger scales than originally
planned.
Crops in the valley never look
ed finer, and this occasions much
surprise to people coming from the
eastern part of the state and be-
yond. To them this is an arid re-
gion, or at least that is what they
have been told, but the evidence
of their own eyes is the best of
all, and can be believed. While
building operations are generally
suspended all over the northwest
on account of the drouth, here

Is everybody happy? Well,
rather.

FOR IMMIGRANTS
North Dakota Presents Best 0ppor-
tunities for Intending Settlers in
North America Today

Without the usual exploitation
and merely as matter of natural
development, that section of the
state Of North Dakota lying to
the west of the Missouri river has
come to such a condition of pros
perity as makes it q phenomenal
country for the immigrant. With
in few years that portion of the
state west Of the great river and
abutting on South Dakota and
Montana has made such strides in
development as to astonish every
man who has taken occasion to in
form himself. Two of the coun.
ties have increased in population
to the extent of a thousand per
cent-and yet there has been no
material impression made on the
magnificent domain. It is rela-
tivey populous and it is tremend-
ously prosperous by reason Of the
fact that it's virgin soil has yielded
the most astounding results to the
farmer. But the beginning has
scarcely been made. It has finely
built towns. schools, markets-has
all the advantages of the most ad-
vanced community-and it has
room for thousands of settlers
who have the intelligence and en-
terprise to take part in its further
development.
There is no section of the
United States that has had the
growth in percentage Of popula-
tion, in increased acreage under
cultivation and in the amount of
produced wealth contributed to
the riches of the country that
Adams, Bowman, Stark and Bill
lings counties have enjoyed. Bill
lings county, a few years ago given
over wholly to the uses Of the
ranchman, already counts among
it's features the biggest primary
grain market in the world-Beach.
Hettinger and Bowman are not
able as being among the enter
prising communities in the west.
And they are all backed by a
country of such varied agricul-
tural and mineral wealth as to in
sure their development into the
richest productive regions in the
United States.
And, as was said, the present
development has been brought
about largely by the enterprise
of pioneer settlers. They found
and exploited a veritable paradise
for the farmer and husbandman
and what they told of their coun-
try induced other settlement. If
the advantages of this section of
North Dakota had been exploited
by the forced methods that have
applied in procuring settlement
for the country a thousands miles
to the north-and that much
farther from the markets If the
world-there would no longer be
room for original settlement here.

co. FOR BEACH
Hughes Oil Company Establishes
Branch ---Tanks With Ca
pacity Of 10000 Gallons

The Hughes Oil Company is the
newest enterprise in this city,
as will be seen by its ADVERTISE
ment elswehere in this issue.
The concern handles gasoline,
kerosene, naptha, lubricating oils
and axle grease and is expending
considerable money in the local
plant.
The headquarters of the company
is located at Glendive, but the
Beach branch is expected to do
greater volume Of business than
the parent house, and we rather
guess will come up to expecta-
tions.
VIM. V. Hughes will be the
local manager and he is personally
supervising the installation of
the big tanks, which will be four
in number, with capacity Of 20.-
900 gallons each. They will be
located just west Of the stockyards
/, and will soon be in commission.
