September to November (both inclus-
ive), and already hunters are getting
themselves in readiness for the shoot.

der, No. and Rufus Lee. No. 3. The
fee is $500 as in the past. and $25 for
non-residents. Auditor Hughes has
sent blank applications to all of the
banks in Stark county. also to the post
Office at Daglum, so that it will be an
easy matter for any one to procure and
fill out the necessary blank, which for
warded to the auditor with the fee of
$1.00 will get the license by return
mail.
Last year Auditor Hughes issued over
900 licenses, or twice as many as in
any previous year. placing the county
14th in the state. Dr.. Courtney of
Brainerd and Mr.. Smith from Massa-
chusetts were the nonresident pur-
chasers.

essary for hunters to ask permission of
land owners before shooting game on
the premises. The bag limit for any
person in one day is ten chickens. It
is unlawful to train hunting dogs in the
field before August IS.
It will be lawful to shoot ducks from

clusive). and deer from November 10 to
November 80 (both inclusive). Any
person is limited to 2 deer for the sea-
son.
It is unlawful to shoot game after
dark, between sunset and sunrise.
Olaf Bjorke, Abercombie is chief
game warden for the southern part of
the state. Charles De Foe of Dickin-
son has received his commission as dep
uty game warden for Stark county, and
will keep watchful eye out for those
who do not respect the law.
The opinion is general that chickens
will be very plentiful this year.

CITY COUNCIL SHUTS OFF
the Street SPRINKLER

At the regular meeting of the council
Monday night it was decided that the
city should not in the future pay for the
sprinkling of the streets. 1t seems tha,
committee was instructed early in the
spring to arrange for street sprinkling,
the intention being to employ one of the
Carroll teams at 81 per day. with driver,
to do the work, using the city sprinkler
and getting the water from the Northern
Pacific hydrant, permission having pre-.
viously been granted for its use. Fur.
ther than this, it was expected that
some one would collect monthly q Ger
tain amount from the business firms
directly benefited from the street sprink-
ling and that the money so collected
would pay quite portion of the Carroll
bill. The team when not in use on the
sprinkler was to be used in street and
alley work. The monthly bills of $12O
came in regularly for the council but
nothing was ever collected from the
business houses. So it was ordered that
there should be no more sprinkline at
the expense of the city.
The $50. bond of the Merchants
National bank, for city depository, was
approved. The bonds for the other
banks were already passed upon.
According to Treasurer Tollefson's s re-
port for July, Dickinson has a cash bal

pense for July at the water plant was

the BROWN DAIRY BUSY
PLACE At MILKING TIME

A large dairy farm is an interesting
place to visit, particularly at milking
time. Through the courtesy of. O. A.
Brown, representatives of the PRESS
were taken to The Brown Dairy the first
of the week.
Forty-seven cows are being milked al
The Brown Dairy and as stated in this
paper last week. milking machines
were recently installed which make a
saving of about two hours each for
some three hands both night and morn
ing. That is to say, this many labor
eres will have this much more time to
work in the fields.
Milking machines are new in North
Dakota. A 2k h. p. engine furnishes
suction piped to one-half the barn now,
extending along just over the stanchion.
To this pipe the machines are connected
by means of rubber tubes at convenient
intervals.
At this time of the year when the flow
of milk is little low. the herd is pro-
ducins little over 100 gallons per day.
which is mostly sold to hotels and rest
aurants in Dickinson and to the North
ern Pacific Ry. Co. for the dining car
service. At any time when there is
milk left after supplying regular custom
ers il is put through the separator and
the cream taken to the local creamery
company.
Mr.. Brown belongs to the Holstein
association and has made a point in
late years of buying some of the best
Holstein stock in the market. He has
nine registered cows, and four-year-
old pediereed sire that is beautiful
animal. Of his 80 to 40 calves, a con-
slider able number are registered, and all
show good care and breeding. In all
the place has lis to 12O head of cattle,
not including calves, and about 40 horses.
Last year the big COW barn was con-
creted and calf barn erected. The
owner keeps the stables clean and in a
sanitary condition.
One Of the noticeable features of this
farm is the ten acres of trees set west
and north of the buildings. already fur
nishing a splendid wind break.
For feed Mr.. Brown depends mostly
upon wild hey. millet and corn fodder.
He has 200 acres of land under cultiva-
ti0n.
Ormanzo Brown came to Stark county
from Hawley, Minn., with his family
eight years ago last spring and estab-
lished himself at the old Beisiele place.
He did not have much money, less than
$500. but peo pie had confidence in his
ability to succeed and sold him 2, 100
acres of land on time. During the past
year or two he has sold 500 acres at SIS
per acre, handsome advance over the
purchase price, and now has 1, 500 acres
under fence, which he is Offering, if
taken outright, with buildings. stock
and equipment. for $67, 500. 1t is a bar
gain for the person who is situated right
for this kind of proposition.
Mr.. and Mrs. O. A. Brown have eleven
children, and there is rarely less than
fifteen people seated at their table for

fine Water
SAYS LADD
Fargo's Engineer Says Dickinson is
Fortunate in Getting Such Good
Artesian Water. Supply
Fully Meets Needs.

City Engineer Anders of Fargo visit
ed the Dickinson water works this week
and was pleased with conditions.
He seemed to think that Supt. W. j.
Littlehales was the right man in the
right place. The visitor said the water
in the new we'll was fine and he thought
our citizens were very fortunate in get
ting so large a supply of such good
water.
The new we'll, as already stated is
143 feet deep. in a nine foot stratum of
water sand. found after boring through
80 feet of blue clay and rock, and is
gaining rather than diminishing in flow.
In ten hours now Supt. Littlehales is
able to pump 80, 600 gallons of water,
against 60, 600 gallons with continuous
pumping day and night before.
The city is boring for another we'll
west and is already down 1874 feet.
Prof. E. F. Ladd's analysis of the
new we'll is as follows:
part ptE HllllOu

This is far better than the average
artesian water of the state, is better
than the artesian water of Fargo, when
the wells were put down, but such wells
usually fall about 100 parts lower after
have been used for few months.

FOR THE NECK
AND SHOULDERS.
\ Free Prescription That Instantly
Removes BIemishes, Tan, Frcck-
les, and the Wrinkles and Marks
Left by High Collars.


The Dutch neck and the evening
gown too often expose the discolora-
lions and blemishes of high collars
or the effects of tan and freckles. It
is easy to overcome these conditions
and make the neck beautiful and
white and soft and smooth-to re-
move, in other words, every blemish,
and to make the Dutch collar as at
tractive as it is comfortable. This
prescription can also be used on the
shoulders, and it is marvelously eff
fectiye to beautify the hands and
arms.
If you want to try it, go to your
druggist, get an empty two-ounce
bottle, also a one-ounce bottle of
Kulux Compound. Pour the entire
bottle of kuluX into the two-ounce
bottle. add a quarter of an ounce OF
witch hazel, then fill with water.
Prepare this at your own home, and
then you know what you have. One
application will astonish you. 1t IS
deliciously cool and soothing, and is
not affected by perspiratioa. 1t will
not rub off,
If you put 1t on one hand only, OF
on one side of the neck, and note the
difference, you viii see the wonder
full change it makes instantly. The
results are permanent, and contin-
ued use of this prescription will re-
suit in a skin as soft and smooth as
a childs, skin from which red
ness and roughness and freckles
have been entirely removed CO.

MEETING MAY BECOME
OF WIDE IMPORTANCE.
Cattle RaiSers to Investigate High
Cost of Meats and Low Price
of Cattle

San Antonio, Texas, August &c
With the Texas Cattle Raisers faith
ering the movement and almost ey-
cry city and town, as well as many
organizations sending delegates, the
indications are that the meeting at
Fort Worth early in September to
Investigate the great discrepancy
between the cost of meat on foot and
price paid by consumer will be
thoroughly investigated. The mer-
chants associations in many cities Of
the state are preparing to send dele
gates and everything indicates that
there will be some digging into
things" in an effort to ascertain the
why of the "skrocketing" of meats
at a time when there has been a de-
cline of 50 per hundred, compared
with the ruling price one year ago.
1t is believed by those in touch
with the movement now on in Texas
that the meeting in Fort Worth will
become nationwide in its influence,
and that the subject will be gone
into with so much yigor that the
public which bears the burden will
ultimately get relief. But if no re-
lief should come it is quite evident
that responsibility will be lodged in
the right place and the public made
to understand who is getting the
big rake Off" The packers declare
they are entirely innocent and are
merely getting an honest profit out
of the business. The retailers declare
they are merely getting a living out
of their share in the business, 1t
will be part of the effort of the
cattlemen and others to ascertain
who is responsible, and who is max
ing the consumer the goat"
