Town Of zero
WILL AMOUNT TO
SOMETHING MORE

Zero is more than likely to become
a whole lot more than the name would
imply. Zero in fact is likely to be-
come an important point along the
line of the Northern Pacific. Zero
to start with is going to have man.
moth coaling sheds and two steel
water tanks. Zero too may be the
point where the proposed Mott line
will strike the main line of the North
ern Pacific. Zero therefore will be
conspicuous upon the map of Custer
county in the future if the Northern
Pacific does all for it that is now be-
ing planned. For some time the
Northern Pacific has been adopting
a policy of erecting it's big coal sheds
away from the city limits so that the
necessity of cutting trains in two at
crossings will be avoided. The same
rule holds good as to long freight
trains taking water. This is why the
water tanks and big coaling shed
are going to be placed at Zero. But
aside from this there is a belief en-
tertained among railroad men that
this will be the point where the pro-
posed new Mott branch will strike
the main line of the Northern Pacific.

HANDS WOULD :.
BURN LIKE FIRE
Could Lay Pin in Cracks. -Four Long
Years Of Eczema. Only ReIiefin
Scratching. Used One Set
Of Cuticura Remedies.
Hands Entirely Well.

II can truthfully say Cuticura Rene
dies have cured me Of four long years
of eczema. About four years ago I
noticed some little pimples coming on
my little finger, and not giving it any
attention, it soon became worse and
spread all over my hands. If would
have them in water for long time,
they would burn like fire and large
cracks would come. I could lay pin
in them. After using all the salves I
could think Of, l went to three different
doctors, but all did me no good. The
only relief got was scratching.
$50 after hearing so much about the
wonderful Cuticura Remedies, l pur-
chased one complete set, and after using
them three days my hands were much
better. To-day my hands are entirely
well, one set being all used" (Signed)
Miss Eta Narber, r. F. D. 2, Spring
Lake, Mich, Sept. 26, 1910.
No stronger evidence than this could
be given of the success and economy Of
the Cuticura Remedies in the treatment
of torturing, disfiguring humors of the
skin. A single hot bath with Cuticura
Soap and a gentle amounting with Cuti-
cura Ointment are often sufficient to
afford immediate relief in the most dis
tressing cases and permit rest and sleep
Ointment are equally effective in pre-
skin, scalp, hair and hands.
Although Cuticura Soap esq., and
Cuticura Ointment (5Oc.) are sold
throughout the world, a liberal sample
of each, with 32-p. book on the skin and
scalp, will be mailed free on application

VERY DANGEROUS Law
IS POINTED OUT

With a jurisdiction even greater
than the district court in one direction
the Judge of Stutsman county occu-
pies a peculiar position and as a re-
suit Charles Augustus Peterson, a
man killer, is at large.
1T seems that North Dakota has a
most peculiar law, the existance of
which has but recently come to the
notice of the judiciary. This statute
applies to the insane hospital. 1t pro-
vides that judge of the county in
which the asylum is located may on
an eX parte proceeding parole and
discharge any inmate of such hos
pital.
The Judge may act on the petition
of any inmate and there is no appeal
from his decision.
AS case in point the action in the
petition of Charles A. Peterson may
be cited. Some twelve or fourteen
years ago Peterson, who is almost a
physical giant, got into an alteration
with DR.. Young in the town of Buffalo,
N. d.. Peterson struck DR.. Young with
d CIuU, n1IlIllS ullll. IclcISOIl was d.
rested and on a showing he was de-
clared insane and sent to the asylum
at jamestown. A few years later he
was released and enjoyed his liberty
until he got into trouble a second
time and was recommitted. Last week
Peterson secured hearing in county
court, and on the showing made was
again released. He is reputed to be
worth forty or fifty thousand dollars,
and the claim was set up that his wife
was interested in keeping him under
restraint so she could enjoy the fruits
of his property.
Judge Carmody, president of the
board of control says the law, which
he never heard of until this particular
case came up, is dangerous one
and ought to be repealed. Under it's
provisions the judge of Stutsman
county has power, if he so electes.
to turn any inmate out of the asylum
on his own motion and from his action
there is no appeal. Judge Carmody
points out the dangers of such law

CARSON CREAMERY IS
Doing fine BUSINESS
STEADY INCREASE IN PATRON.
AGE IS PLEASING TO
PROMOTERS
Farmers Interested and Taking More
Stock-Increase for First Three
Months Shows Steady Growth.

Just as a sample of the fact that
+he farmers Of the slope are coming
to take an active interest in dairying
the situation at Carson in Morton
county may be quoted. The creamery
there opened three months ago with
60 patrons, the second month checks
were delivered to IS who had sold
cream at the station and for the month
ending August there were lis far
mers who received cash in varying
amount for their cream. That there
are many more who are going to pat
ronize the plant and that those who
are milking cows are going to milk
more is shown from the fact that
there is demand for dairy cattle that
cannot be supplied by the local mar
ket and it is expected that a buyer
will be sent to Iowa to try and pick
up few carloads of Holsteins to- sell
to the residents of that part of Nor
ton county.

total APPRAISEMENT
IS NOW REPORTED

The State Board of Equalization got
down to business today, the real es-
tate returns being now all in and the
last of the personal abstracts of ap-
praisement arrived today and are be-
ing verified in the office of the state
auditor.
The real estate lists show a number
of changes and present an interesting
study. 1t is expected that the bankers
will be heard through their represent
atives this week and the county repre-
sentatives will be given plenty of time
to present their claims.
Following are some figures taken
from an abstract made in the state
auditors office for the use of the
board:
Returned for Taxation This Year.
Total acreage, 35,554.954.
Increase in acreage over 1910,
1,16O,714.
Total appraisement of land exclu-
sive of improvements and structures,
s143,12O,565.
Total appraised value of structures
and improvements, $1O,O80.615.
Total appraised value of town and
city lots exclusive OF structures and
improvements, $11,2S9,4S7.
Value of structures and other i'm
provements on town and city lots,
$17.669,244.
The total value of real estate, city
lots, structures and improvements as
fixed by the county boards is $780,
1891. The state board last year
fixed the total valuation at $1S4,5S9,-
9S1 or $2,430,07S above the appraise-
ment returned by the county board
this year. If the state board fixes the
the same as last year
the increased acreage returned alone
will amount to $S.750,000 more than
the ADVERTISEMENT of 1910.

ACTION TAKEN TO PRESERVE
TIMBER Land ALONG LITTLE
MISSOURI IN NORTH DAKOTA

, has the smallest amount of any state
i, in the Union. This fact gives rise
to the belief that President Taft will
issue the order Immediately, with
drawing the land when his attention
is called to the advisability of the
project. 1t will be in line with the
Heinemier resolution introduced in
the North Dakota legislature last win
ter, asking the government to reserve
5000 acres in the Kildeer mountains.
The land which it is proposed to
withdraw from settlement for forest
reserve is in townships 146, 147 and
14S, ranges IS, SO, 81, SO. 49, and 100.
The larger part of the tract is in town.

Missouri River in Mckenzie county,
taking in some of the Charlie Bob
and Cherry creeks, streams tributary
to the Little Missouri. In coming in
to the kildeer mountain territory
from the north, Senator Ballinger
found it necessary to indicate mar
row tract and cut in and out, owing
to settlements already made in the
country.
The postoffice of Mary is located
on the south border of the proposed
reserve, Ellsworth northwest, Oakdale
southeast, with Schafer, eight or ten
miles due north.
Forester Ballinger. after returning
to Dickinson after an inspection of
the land, said that he was agreeably
surprised to find so much timber
along the streams and gulches out
north in the territory under consid-
Grafton. He feels that it should be
reserved and the action should be tax.

ANOTHER SIDE TO STORY

Iowa newspapers have devoted
much space this year to comment
upon drought conditions in South
Dakota. There is reason" or
rather, two of them. Iowa newspa.
pers are inclined to resent the fact
that within the past twenty years
Iowans have removed to South Dako-
ta-and in fact they are still coming.
Reason number two is that by CON-
menting on South Dakota's misfor-
tunes, the Iowa newspapers hope to
lead tt cir readers to forget existing
conditions in Iowa itself. But their
is another side to the story-a side
the Iowa newspapers do not tell any
more than is absolutely necessary.
The Milbank Review furnishes little
light on the other side, in the follow
ing:
There is no use in trying to evade
the fact that Grant county has been
hit hard by a drought and excessive
ly hot weather which has injured our
small grain, but we can congratulate
ourselves upon the fact that crop con-
ditions here are not so bad as exists
in most sections of Iowa, Minnesota
and Nebraska where corn is king"
and land sells at $175 an acre.
Tuesday morning a German minist-
er who resides at George, Iowa. ar
rived here to look after some farm
land he owns near Corona, and he ex-
pressed himself as greatly surprised
at the crop conditions here, having
been led to believe by Iowa Press re-
ports that South Dakota crops were
a total failure. Instead Of finding
farmers engaged in blowing fire
breaks around their wells, he found
them busily engaged in haying and
On every hand he could
see fields of corn of which an Illinois
farmer would be proud, and he was
greatly pleased with the prospects
for bumper corn crop in this section.
The gentleman stated that in the
portion of Iowa where he resides crops
Of all kinds are a total failure. None
Of the small grain headed out, the
corn fields are withered. and even the !
pastures and meadows are as brown
as in December. He remarked that

Dickinson Press: The probabilities
are that North Dakota will soon have
a good sized forest reserve northwest
of and including the historic Kildeer
mountains, where the greatest Indian
battle in American history was fought
on July %, 1854.
The project gets the recommends
of c. A. Ballinger, forest supervisor,
from Camp Crook, S. D.. who spent
several days at the Dickinson U. S.

records Of land filings and completing
his reports, following careful field
inspection of the territory in Dunn
and Mckenzie counties under con-
sideration. Register J. G. Quinlevan
and receiver w. A. Mcclure went ov-
err the matter carefully with Forester
Ballinger and also favor the setting
aside of 285,0OO acres as included
in the report of the department at
Washington.
If the department approves of the
report. it is quite likely that the land
will be withdrawn by executive order

man Hanna to the importance of Gre

LIBERTY, Mo-, Aug. 5-After twice
repulsing his pleas to intercede in
his behalf, Mrs. May Choat, wife of
Lafayette Choat, late yesterday threw
the courtroom into excitement by sud-
denly placing her arms around her
husbands neck and promising him
that she would do all in her power
to obtain his release on bond and &C
quittal when his trial comes up. He
had just been bound over on a charge
of cruelty for beating his wife, hitch
ing her to- harrow with a team of
mules, and driving her around a field.
1t was after her husbands bond had
been placed at 81 900 that the woman
relented
II will never testify against him"
she said to the court, lit is true he
was cruel to me but he is the father
of my children and l will never help
send him to the penitentiary. You
might as we'll turn him out now for
| will never help convict him, even
if had to go and hide in the woods.
Il can't do it, Lafe,'' she sobbed on
her husbands shoulder as he folded
his arms around her and patted her
on the back. II can't let the father
OF my babies go to prison. But we
will have to live apart"
Never mind about that now" re-
piled Choat. 1--WE can settle all that
when you get me out of the trouble
you have got me into"
He turned a triumphant glance on
the officers of the court.
A moment later the wife began to
canvass among members of a lodge
TO which she belongs, in an attempt
to raise bond for her husband.

again." she said, II am afraid of him
and believe he will kill me some day.
