Not in it With Beach

Several Wibaux crack shots head
ed by Billy Frost journeyed to
Beach last Monday evening all
cooked and primed to defeat the
gun men Of this city at a shooting
tournament in Jimmie Browns
gallery on First Ave. They were
either second raters compared
with the Beach boys or else fate
was against them, for. when the
scores were counted, it yas dis
covered that they were defeated
in each Of the several different
contests, and at no time did they
have a chnace to win, the Beach
boys having them outclassed at
every stage of the game. This is
quite q setback to Wibaux from
the fact that most of their team
were old cowboys.

Many " Farmers
Report Losses
The Hail Storm Monday Night Did
Considerable Damage to Golden
Valley Crops --Adjusters Busy

A severe hail storm struck the
Golden Valley last Monday night,
hitting in spots all the way from
a few miles south Of Beach to as
far north as Brenizer. The losses
south of the city were nothing
compared to the ones north, in
many places farmers loosing their
entire crop.
President Burke of the Burke
Insurance, Loan Agency. informs
US that up until Thursday morn
ing his agency had received thirty
five claims for loses, and that
previous to this storm they ad-
justed fifteen other losses making
fifty in all. He was not sure, but
was Of the opinion that other
claims would be reported today,
as he had heard of several other
losses which were insured with his
agency.
This agency was organized late
last spring, but Mr.. Burke, its
president, having a reputation for
square and honest dealings, soon
placed it among the leading in
surance agencies of North Dakota
and Montana.
The adjusters are now in the
valley and settling all claims as
rapidly as possible, and, as far as
we can learn, the farmers are
more than satisfied with the settle
ments made.

St. Henry Makes
Excellent Flights
LUCKY Bob, )" Who viii Fly at
Beach, Shows Up Well at the
Benson County Fair

In the presence of nearly five
thousand people. by far the larg-
est crowd ever assembled in Ben.
son county, Lucky Bob" St.
Henry, the noted air man, gave
two splendid flights in his Curtis
biplane during the Benson county
fair.
The high wind prevented him
from making the afternoon flight
as scheduled, but at 1880 the wind
had moderated sufficiently to per-
NIT the flights. At that hour
Lucky Bob' and his assistants
tuned up the engine in the air
ship and. when everything was in
order, the machine was headed
westward in the oval enclosed by
the race track and the engine was
started. The great machine glid.
ed swiftly along the ground for 8
short distance and then rose grace
fully over the barns surrounding
the track and headed westward,
"Lucky Bob" made a wide circle
to the left and came around over
the crowd and when above the
peoples heads suddenly dipped
toward the ground as if about tt
light in the midst Of the specta
tors, but when near the surface
he again elevated his planes ane
made another wide circle. alight
ing almost on the spot from which
he arose.
After a short interval, St. Hen
ry again mounted his machine ant
made a second flight. The secont
time he flew in one big circle, wa
in the air a trifle over five min
utes and travelled about sever
miles. The big machine was un
der perfect scoptrol at all time
and the splendid exhibition wa
heartily appreciated by the bi,
crowd.
The Benson county fair has beef
a splendid su :cess in every respec
so far, and the attendance ha
been much larger than at an,
former fair.

Interstate FairNotes

The half mile running race on
Wednesday afternoon of the Fair
is especially arranged for farmers
and ranchmen who have, what
they consider, a. fast runner. 1t
is a half mile dash for $4,000 and
will be one of the exciting races
of the Fair because of the local
pride that so many men have in
their favorite saddle horse.
One of the many new premiums
in the lists for 1911 is that
awarded to Ignite coal exhibits.
All coal competing for premi-
ums must have been minded on
land owned and operated by the
person in whose name it is entered.
All coal exhibits must lie on the
fair ground by noon of Wednes-
day, September 9th.
For the largest block of Ignite
coal, $500 will be given as prize;
for the second largest, $500.
It is estimated that the space to
be occupied by the farm machin'
cry display at the Interstate Fair
will occupy four acres of ground.
It is we'll known fact that the
largest field of operation fo,
power machinery for farming pur'
poses is in the Golden Valley
Manufacturers realizing this fact
propose to place on display thi.
year at Beach one of the largest
exhibitions of farm machinery
ever seen in the state. This exhi
bit will not only be interesting tt
farmers, but will be Of great edu,
cational benefit to those contem
plating engaging in farming pur.
suits.
The farmers of the Golden Val
ley expect to win the big $500
prize at the Bismarck Industrial
Exposition. All the choice exhi
bits in the farm products depart
ment of the Interstate Fair will
be taken to Bismarck at the close
of the Fair.
Beach is very fortunate in Sc
curing R. C. St. Henry, better
known as Lucky Bob,' to make
daily flights in his new Curti.

President Diaz has done practically
nothing to alleviate the condition Of
these downtrodden citizens of his re-

His syrnpathies have been with the
landowners. He has permitted the re-
public to exempt land from taxation

encouraging the retention of land In
large tracts.

Many reasons have been assigned
for the present unsettled conditions in
Mexico But the great underlying
cause Of all the trouble is the failure
of the Mexican government to offer any
of the privileges and rights Of demo-
crsey to its humble subjects.
President Diaz has been effective as
