MORAN EASY MARK
 FOR PACKY M'FARLAND
The Steady Superiority of the Chi
 cago Fighter.

New York. March 14-"Packy' Mcfarland. the Chicago lightweight. outpointed owen Moran. the claimant for the English lightweight champion ship. at every stage of a ten-round fight before the Fdirmont Athletic club tonight. It was a clean, hard fought battle throughout in which the Chicago boy fully demonstrated his superiority in boxing over the Englishman Mcfarland was always there with a clean punch and when Moran reached for him the Chicago was most elusive.
 Both fighters weighed 135 pounds at o'clock. but the ringside gave the Chicago boy a little weight when the fight started
 Mcfarland depended chiefly on body blows. reaching rights and Iefts below the heart At close quarters he had distinct advantage over the Englishman. Neither suf- fered much punishment until the seventh round when Mcfarland reached Moran with stiff body blows and sent him reeling across the ring. Following this with two rights to the jaw Moran began staggering and the crowd cheered the Chicago fight cr
 But Moran rallied and came back for more. Moran worked his wide swing for all there was in it. Oc- casionally Mcfarland got in right to head but he principally kept ham mering at Moran's body with rights. and lefts. Although out-classed Moran put up a good fight and gave Mcfarland a stiff go but could not land.

Picking. March 1.-The Russian minister M. Korostoyetz. delivered a Russian ultimatum to the Chinese foreign board this afternoon. IL caused much surprise among off cia!s who seemed not to realize the gravity of the crisis.
 M Korostovetz last week. for the second time requested permission on behalf of his government Co estab- fish observation stations along the Amur and elsewhere on the frontier. He desired to place doctors and po- lice on the Chinese border to effec- tively quarantine the frontier.
 China viewed this as an infringe ment of her integrity and the Rus sian minister was notified that a re ply would be given today In the meantime Korostovetz was requested to obtain further explanations from St. Petersburg regarding the nature of the proposals. whereupon the Rus sian government evidently decided that there was no further use in par leving. IL is expected here that the Russians will now settle many out standing matters, including the plague quarantine and the disputed frontier
 Some Chinese express the hope that the United States will interfere and propose arbitration. but foreign res idents believe that the United States will not take part in these disputes

LINSLEY BILLIARD HALL
SOLD TO ROY II. STEWART

A deal was consumated this week
through the Orchard Real Estate Agency,
whereby Roy H. Stewart, late of Pierre,
South Dakota. becomes the owner of the
Milt Linsley pool hall and Mr.. Linsley
becomes the possessor of the nwN sec.
20, twp 142, range 95, north of Taylor.
Mr.. Stewart has been doing carpenter
work here this summer and is not un-
known to Dickinson people. He takes
possession of the pool room at once and
will thoroughly remodel and renovate
the hall and add some new features.
making the place more popular than
ever.
The Linsley are among earlier resi-
dents of the city. Mr.. Linsley rail-
roaded in the early days before the ac-
cident which made him lame. For sew
eral years he had the confectionery store
on the old Messersmith corner, where
the new Jessen block now stands, and
for the last few years has conducted the
pool room which he opened.
Mr.. and Mrs. Linsley rather expect to
spend the winter in the west and may
decide to locate permanently in a
milder climate.

HAY, feed, COAL, seed
SHIPPED Freight FREE

A few days ago at Mobridge Milwau-
kee officials met representatives Of
thirty-five commercial clubs to discuss
the hay and feed situation along it's
line. The road offers to ship in hay.
feed and seed grain, freight free, pro-
vided such stuff is purchased on its lines
between Minneapolis and the Rockies.
This road also offers to transport coal
from the Consolidated Coal Co. g Scran-
ton mines on its main line and then
out on two branch lines without any
charge for hauling. The Scranton
mines are also helping out by giving
the settlers very low rate on coal-$1. 90
per ton I. o. b. Scranton.
1t is necessary that all this buying and
shipping in in carload lots be done
through the county commissioners of the
several counties to prevent unscrupulous
men from reaping rich harvest at the
expense of those needing aid.
A grand mass meeting was called at
Hettinger for Wednesday to discuss
matters and ascertain the amount each
man would need.

RAINS q IN.
IN ten DAYS
Farmers Have Good Chance to Plow
and Conserve Moisture for
1912 Planting. Ground
is Soaked Deep.

The rain figures in the PRESS last
week got mixed and while the total of
1.49 inches for four days was correctly
indicated, the precipitation for different
dates was not right. On the 31st of
July the fall was .84 inches and on the
2nd and 3rd Of August .65 inches. max
ing the total. as stated, 1.49 inches.
The rainfall for this week has been as
follows: On Sunday, traces. Monday
night SIS inches; Tuesday night III
inches; Wednesday night rs inches;
the total precipitation for the four days
measuring about inch.
For the first 10 days of August the
rainfall was $50 inches, and --includink
the fall on the last day of July the total
was 2.33 inches.
The rainfall for the entire period
from January /. 1911. to August 10. has
been 9.35 inches. The normal rainfall
for this period is 1926 inches, leaving
the county still short /. 81 inches of the
average fall.
The average yearly rainfall for per-
iod of Is years at the Dickinson govern
ment station is 1911 inches.
The rains of the past two weeks,
coupled with cool weather, have soaked
deep into the ground, making the con-
ditions ideal for plowine and conserving
of moisture for the 1912 crops These
rains have also helped late crops and if
frost does not co me too early there will
be a splendid crop of fax harvested
this season. Potatoes. millet and
pasturage have also received great
benefit.
The farmers who give thought TO dry
farming methods are already laying
plans for the immediate turning under
of stubble and fields not fit for harvest.
A good many of the farmers will put
the disc or first which will prevent
evaporation and give more time with
the plOw.

SUPT. JOHNSON PROMOTED
GOES TO FARGO DIVISION

1t was learned early in the week that
Supt. B. o. johnson had been promoted
to the Fargo division of the Northern
Pacific, with headquarters in Fargo.
His territory will be the main line from
jamestown to Dilworth and branch
lines. Dilworth is four miles east OF
Fargo.
T. H. Lantry of Spokane is the new
superintendent of the Yellowstone
division and was in Dickinson the first
of the week in company with Supt.
johnson and Gen. Supt. Nichols, looking
over the territory.
Supt. Johnson resided in Dickinson
for some years. serving the company
as trainmaster. before his advancement
to superintendent, aud the PRESS is
sure that every one here will heartily
concur in the words of praise given him
in the Glendive Review:
while the change comes as dis
tinct promotion for the gentleman most
concerned, the news that Superintendent
red to the superintendency of the Fargo
division of the Northern Pacific was re-
ceived with general regret in Glendive,
where ''B. O." has made himself very
popular with all classes of people by
his businesslike and accommodating
management of railroad affairs.
Superintendent johnson is succeeded
on the Yellowstone division by T. H.
Lantry, who has been trainmaster on
the Idaho division under Superi ntendent
j. M. Rapelje, formerly of Glendive.
The fact that Mr.. Lantry made good
under Superintendent Rapelje dives him
sufficient recommendation to the people
of Glendive.
THE change takes place Immediately
but will probably not involve any other
removals or additions at present. The
change to the Fargo division. which is
more Of a competitive situation than
that on the local division. is q nice pro-
motion for Mr.. johnson.
