Sentinel Butte is probably shipping
more No. 1 grade wheat this year than
all the. other towns put together this
side Of the Missouri river. The record
up to this week was 40 carloads. OF
course this includes the wheat from
Chama, also a good grain center this
season. The Russell Miller Milling Co.
at Dickinson has taken the most of this
! wheat. L. F. Crawford probably had as
good if not the best grain at Sentinel
Butte this year. His crop yield was IL
bushels to the acre, but the average for
this favored locality is about ten bush
els.
L. F. Crawford. cashier of the Inter:
state Bank at Sentinel Butte, states
that Mrs. Crawford is apparently max
ing a fair recovery at Centralia, Mis-
souri,. where she and the four children
have been stopping for soIae time.
Mrs. Crawford is still far from we'll,
but it is hoped that by another year
she will have RECLAIMED her health ard
will be able to return to North Dakota.
The children are making good PROGRESS
with their school studies. It is about
eight years since Mr.. and Mrs. Crawford
resided in Dickinson where Mi. Craw-
ford was school superintendent for g
number Of years. He was in the city
this week and visited the new high
school building. also the public library.
Mr.. Crawford, although q successful
banker and stock-grower. is still deeply
interested in educational work. and prob
ably has the largest individual library
in North Dakota. He was much I'M
pressed with the Dickinson public IL
brary and has arranged to send down a
very fine railroad work in u volumes.
Judge W. c. Crawford and Alderman B.
H. Crawford Of this city, are brothers Of
the Billings county gentleman.
