Another Splendid
Addition to wibaux
E. F. Peterson, a Billings Cloth
Ter, is in the City This Week to
Establish Swell Clothing House.

One of the latest creditable ad-
ditions to our city, as was pre-
viously announced in a recent is
sue of the Pioneer. is a swell new
clothing house, which is to be
opened IN the new First State
Bank block by E. E. Peterson,
an experienced Billings merchan t.
who comes to our city with an en-
viable reputation as q progressive
businessman.
Mr.. Peterson recently returned
from the East where he spent some
time in selecting and purchasing
his stock Of goods, and assures the
Pioneers readers that on stepping
into his store you will find one of
the sweIlest and most up-to- date
lines Of dry goods, clothing, ladies'
and gents furnishings and shoes
to be found anywhere in Eastern
Montana.
Mr.. Garter, who is also an ex-
perienced man in the mercantile
business, was a recent arrival from
Belgrade, Montana, to serve in
the capacity Of salesmanager. Mr..
Carter is also of the progressive
type, and pleasant gentleman to
meet in business way. Miss
Burns, and another lady whose
name we have not learned, will
also assist in the store, the former
having recently arrived from Bill
ings.
AS may be learned from an an
nouncement to be found else
where in this issue the initial Open
ing Of the new store will be held
on Saturday, December End.
1t is superflnous to say that
such an establishment will be
duly appreciated by the buying
pubic, and we predict for Mr..
Peterson very substantial patron
age. Here's success to the new
establishment.

five papers in all and that Knut-
son had assured him none of the
papers were notes. He also told
how Knutson told about the ele-
vator which this company was
to build and that, if he wanted
to order any goods. say if he
wanted to write to the company
for twenty dollars worth, he
must send five dollars with the
order; that he did so send, and
certain goods were sent to him
with a draft to the bank; that he
had to pay the bank in full, and
that for part of the goods sent
back he had never received any
credit.
After all this, Mr.. Simon Peter
appeared upon the scene and de-
manded that he pay the one hum
dred and seven dollar note or, if
more time was wanted, to sign
two other notes; how he, think
ing he was in for all his property,
got a hold of the note and tore it
in pieces.
The states attorney advised
that the case be dismissed be-
cause he did not think that any
jury could be convinced that the
destruction had been done with
malice.
1t was dismissed.
1t is presumed there is fifty
thousand dollars of these notes
in this county.-Golden Valley

The Pioneer is in receipt of a
copy of the summary of railroad
revenues and expenses for 1911,
in which comparative figures are
included.
The increase of $S7, SOB, 9S3 in
the operating expenses of the rail
roads of the country with only
$29, 2O5, 46S increase in revenues,
shows how sharply the railroads
''cost Of living has advanced,
causing a reduction in net oper-
ating revenue as compared with
the year ending June 80, 1910, Of
$5S, 39S, 515. One interesting
fact is that with at least 81, 500, 900
added by investors in American
railroads during the past four years
the increase in operating income
was less than SIS, 100000 less
than l per cent return.
The figures show that during
the four-year period, using the
Commerce Commission figures,
railroads have kept pace with the
increase in population, but if the
mileage Of all tracks is used as a
standard Of measure, they have
exceeded the population growth by
W Q per cent.

After pleading guilty to the

to Glendive the same evening,
where he will spend Thanksgiving

General Service
Co. Defeated Again
Case Against Man Who Destroyed
Note is Dismissed at Medora---
An Interesting Case.

An interesting case was heard
before Justice Hesser yesterday.
The case was state of North Da-
kota versus Kohn Kossianchuk,
in which the defendant was
charged with destroying a prom
issory note, made by himself.
The complaining witness was
Simon Peter Lesselyoung. Sim
on had the appearance Of being
clean-cut, sharp, Minneapolis
business man, finely groomed
and bedecked with diamonds, of
which there was one on his fin
ger and another in his shirt front.
Simon Peter, when on the stand,
told that he was the president of
the Farmers General Service
Company, a Minnesota corpor-
alton, whose place Of business is
on Washington avenue, Mime
apolis; that the business of this
company was to aid and assist
worthy farmers who were pos
sessed of a certain amount of
property, and to place such farm
ers next to the wholesale dealers,
thus saving the middleman' S
profit; to purchase the farmer
all kinds of supplies, including
machinery and horse medicine;
to figure on lumber bills. and, in
fact. everything that a good
thrifty farmer might want to
purchase and was able to pay for;
that this company also maintain
ed a veterinary department to
give advice by correspondence as
to the care of stock of all kinds,
and to furnish veterinary medi-
cine to sick stock when the
symptoms were sent by mail to
the main office; also to sell live
stock which might be shipped to
their company's care-"In fact,
it was and is a great eleemosyn-
ary company, or one organized
for eleemosynary purposes"
That for their services they
first required of the farmer a
signed statement of all the prop
erty Of which he was possessed,
and its value, and a statement
of all debts due by said farmer.
Then the farmer is required to
sign promissory note for one
hundred and seven dollars and
fifty cents, and for this he was
given a chrome, we should
say a premium of a box of veter-
mary medicine which Professor
Ladd has pronounced to be worth
about five dollars 1t was also
explained that the president did
not solicit the notes. There
were sub-agents who were resi-
dents of the county to do this.
These sub-agents we've men who
had the confidence of the farm
ers and could full explain the
benefits to be derived by the
farmers joining this st rvice COM
pany. They did.
Simon Peter, on cross-examin-
alton by Attorney Haney, stated
that his company had not filed
it's articles of Incorporation, nor
had it appointed the secretary of
state it's resident attorney; that
he had been advised that it was
unnecessary to comply with the
law of our state. How strange
some people dislike to obey the
law"

See What Dawson
Co. Can Produce
Write Your Eastern Friends to Wis.,
it Dawson Couny's Exhibit at
St. Paul Land Show.

Twin Cities or other eastern
points be sure to write asking
them to visit the Dawson County
display at the St. Paul Land
Show. It will give them a splen-
did opportunity to see " hat
Dawson County produces, and
may be the means of inducing
many most desirable people to
become residents of Dawson
County. It is easy to direct any
one where to find the Dawson
County display at the St. Paul
Land Show for it is just across
the aisle from the Alaska exhibit,
which undoubtedly will attract
more attention than any one dis
play at the Show. Everybody
is anxious to see what Alaska
produces. In their display is a
pile Of gold nuggets as taken
from the ground amounting in
value to $4,000, and one Of the
finest fur displays ever exhibited.
But when it comes to crops Daw-
son County won't have to take a
back seat for any Of them.
The Northern Pacific railroad
on Monday announced the giving
of two additional handsome
trophy cups. One for the best
half bushel of flax from Montana
or North Dakota and one for the
best bushel of barley grown in
either state. Dawson County
surely has a chance to capture
both of these prizes.
Splendid reports have been re-
ceived from many towns in the
county showing that the interest
in the coming land show is gen
eral thru out Dawson County.
The Sidney Commercial Club at
their meeting last week raised
and sent to the League $l5O.OO
as their share of the expenses of
the Dawson County exhibit at
st. Faul. They will also send
as representatives of their vicin-
ity Mr.. Thomas C. Gardner and
Mr.. L. R. Turner.
Eight Of the most prominent
men in Glendive have volunteered
to be in attendance during the
show at St. Paul and exert their
best efforts in behalf of Dawson
County.
Some mighty fine samples are
coming into the office of the Lea
que, BOG Beasley Block, Glendive.
Montana. They want all they
can get for the display, SO do not
fail to send or bring anything
that is suitable for the exhibit.
Copy for the booklet. being
edited by Manager Hawlow for
the League, is now in the hands
of the printer, 10000 of these
books are being printed for dis
tribution during the st. Paul
Show. Commercial organization
or individuals desiring copies of
the booklet must notify c. D. :.
Harlow the number of copies
they want before the 25th.
Copies in any quantities will be
furnished at the actual cost.
Upon a visit to the Leagues
office every one is surprised at
the high quality and splendid
samples of grain that have al
ready come in for the show.
One thing is certain the ex-
hibit will open the eyes of Land
Show visitors to the rich and
fertile productiveness Of Dawson
County soil.
