Facing what they believe to be
danger of losing everything they
have through a hitherto unpublished
combination of circumstances of an
international character, delegates from
from all parts of California will gath
er in this city to form a protective
organization of the hundreds of Set
tiers of the Chuckawalla valley and
the Palo Verde mesa country.
1T is the declaration of the settlers
most heavily interested that the real
secret of the failure to secure water
for their lands lies i'm the tying up
of negotiations to that end by large
landholders in Mexico. They have
in their possession documents pur-
porting to come from the secretary
of war which state unequivocally that
no more water shall be taken from
the Colorado river for irrigation pur-
poses until the question of such irri-
cations effect upon the supposed
navigabiity of the river is settled
Combined Action.
While the settlers have already ap-
pealed to congress for relief from the
situation through the pending Per
kins bill, the convention move is one
signalling a combined effort to help
themselves through other channels
Which may take the form of bonded
irrigation corporation or an effort to
have state land laws declared appli-
cable to the situation. SO large an
amount of money is already tied up
in the proposition that many of the
homeseekers are frank to declare tha
swift steps are necessary if they are
to escape ruin.
According to the documents i'm the
possession of attorneys for the pro-
jected organization, Mexican land
holders appealed to their govern
ment early i'm the history of the Black
Butte dam project, representing that
their interests would be gravely jeo-
pardized by the taking of more water
from the Colorado than that already
i'm use for the irrigation of the Palo
Verde lowlands. International COM
munications followed and it lis the as
sertion of the settlers that a special
order was issued declaring the taking
of more water forbidden.
The local land officials are not
cognizant of such a siUuation AS they
understand it, the secretary of war
originally approved the plans for the
dam but it was held UP by the report
of engineers to the department of the
interior, setting forth that there is
not sufficient bed rock in the Colo
RADIO at Black Butte ito anchor dam.
A departmental order against the pr
ject was therefore issued and there,
so far as the land office here is con-
cerned, the matter rests.
Nearly every city in California
south of San Francisco, is interested
in the fate of the valley by reason of

eight states Of Minnesota, North Dakota.
South Dakota, Montana. Idaho, Wyom-

According to these figures North Da-

bushels uf wheat, or nearly as much as
the other seven states together. In the
production of fax our state leads by so
per cent. having an estimate of 10 mil
lion bushels this year. Montana is
second and Minnesota third. North Da-
kotaais also second in the production of
rye and oats, Minnesota coming first.
The figures in the Tribune also show
ed sa total of 1, 1876. $40. 600 bushels Of
grain to be harvested by these eight
states in 1912, which at the average
prices would am cunt to, 1868, 6SS. 600
an amount equal to one-fifth Of all the
money in circulation in the United

cut down somewhat by destruction of
crops this season by hail and other
things, but notwithstanding this, the
northwest will harvest by far the great

c0T10N's CAR BURNED
LIFE SAVED BY JUMP

H. G. Cotton is thanking his lucky
stars for the possession of the sixth
sense that told him that something was
wrong when he was riding along in his
automobile three miles east of New
England last Thursday evening. He
looked around just in time to see that
his automobile was on fire and had
barely time to jump from the machine
when it went up in smoke. He had
only run short distance when the gas
tank exploded and in few minutes the
prestolite tank also blew up. The car
was completely destroyed by fire.
Mr.. Cotton had been on a trip num-
Der of miles east of town and was re-
turning alone when the accident occur
red. For the past year he has been run
ming stage between New England and
Dickinson. with his Case touring car.
There are several different opinions as
to the cause of the car burning up.
There may have been leak in the gas
oline tank, which allowed the GASOLINE
to leak down onto the muffler or back
fire may have ignited some GASOLINE
or oil in the pen under the machine.
Mr.. Cotton carried only $500 insurance
and bis loss is heavy one. The Het-
tineer County Herald. s1 80

REPORTS DON'T CORRESPOND
WITH CONVENTION PICTURE

S. M. Ferris has fine large picture
of the Bull Moose convention at Chicago
last week and unlike the newspaper
pictures and reports that some of the
papers have been circulating about an
empty convention hall, it shows a
crowded auditorium with standing room
even at premium. On the platform
are Theodore Roosevelt. who was nomi-
mated president by the new party. and
Chairman Beveridge of Indiana. The
Ferris brothers, w. A. Merrifield and
George Myers can easily be recognized
in the picture under the banners of the
respective states from which they went
as delegates.
S. M. Ferris, one of the North Dakota
delegates. returned on Friday and said
he didn't think more enthusiastic
party of politicians had ever gathered
than those attending the Third Party
convention last week. Everybody there
was wearing Moose stick pin and
waving red bandana on which was
pictured the Colonel's face. The Wes-
terners wore them knotted around their
necks while the others tied them around
their hats or waved them continually.
Col. Roosevelt was delighted to see
his old Medora friends and made ar
rangements for picture of the five.

Mont, on Friday and Mr.. Myers came
through on Saturday, stopping off to
spend Sunday at Medora before going

MOLE GOT 1 ~ YEARS
MIGHT IN DICKINSON JAIL

AS iforecasted in the PRESS last
week. Judge W. C. Crawford went to
Bowman on the 9th overland, to pass
sentence on Ed. Molen. the horse thief
who was captured south of Sentinel
Butte on August 7th.
M0len was tried at Bowman two
weeks ago and found guilty of stealing
a horse from Hamilton Bros. on June
7th, 1911, but before sentence was
passed he escaped Jail and stole another
horse from the same people.
When Molen was recaptured he was
taken to Dickinson and asked to waive
his rights in being taken to Bowman
for sentence but this he would not do.
Judge Crawford then made arrange
ments to 60 to the county seat town
south in an auto, taking Stenographer
Boulger along. The trip was made on
the 9th. Charles DeFoe using his ma
chine for the trip getting the parties

Already several towns on the N. P.
and Milwaukee lines in the southwestern
part of the state are estimating the
amount of grain that will be shipped
when the 1912 crop is marketed, and one
or two towns on the Missouri Slope are
making claim as the greatest primary
wheat market in the United States. "
1t goes without saying that every town
on the slope will market more grain
this year than ever before.
Dickinson will no doubt market at
least fifty per cent more than was ship
ped when the 1909 crop was handled.
and some very conservative grain men,
who are we'll posted on the crop aver
age, the extent of the territory and the
probable yield, estimate that the 1912
crop to be marketed al Dickinson will
easily reach the million and quarter
bushel mark. and possibly be nearer a
million and a half. The hail in the
Dickinson territory has made a large
hole in the amount of wheat and other
grain that would have been shipped
from this point. There is vast terri
tory in Dunn county and the increased
acreage may more than make up for the
hail losses in Stark county. Dickinson
may not be ''the greatest primary grain
MARKET, but it will be near the top Of
the column.
New England. the terminus of the
Cannon Ball branch Of the C. M. & p.
s.. is making claim to the honor of be-
ing the greatest primary grain market
in the United States. The Hettinger
County Herald this week estimates that
two million bushels will be marketed at
the Cannon Ball metropolis. 1t is a
we'll known fact that the New England
territory has as fine grain as was ever
grown. and Dickinson people who have
covered the territory the past week say
that the wheat will average much better
than 20 bushels.
1t must be conceded that New Eng
land. on account of its location at the
terminal of the Milwaukee. has the lar
gest territory of any town in the south
western part of the state. The town is
the marketing point for no less than Is
townships in we'll farmed territory.
The Herald's estimate is interesting
and seems very conservative. Taking
an average of sixty homesteaders for
township. each with 100 acres in crop
(making no mention of the thousands of
acres of railroad land under cultivation)
and putting the average yield down to
IS bushels per acre. with 5000 acres
in a township it makes total for each
township of go. 900 bushels.
There are sixteen townships that will
market the entire product in New Eng
land, which, according to the above
estimates brings the amount up to
1. 40, 900. Then there are nine or ten
townships that will split up with New
Endland. Belfeld. South Heart, Bow
man and Scranton, but enough graf n
from these townships should 60 to New
England to bring the total amount up
to the two million mark.

IT WAS DRAW Between
DICKINSON AND MANDAN

The Mandan ball team journeyed to
Dickinson on No. Sunday afternoon
to play the locals. The train was
over two hours late and it was S 80
when the game was called by Umpire
j. W. Sturgeon. Mandan had secured
Nelson of Glen Ullin to assist in clean
ing up the Dickinson bunch but things
did not work out as the visitors had ap-
parently calculated and in the last Of
the 9th when the scores stood 9 and 9.
it was agreed to call the game draw.
IT was getting dark and there did not
seem to be anything else to do.
The visitors were first at the bat.
There was nothing for either side in
the first two innings. In the 3rd Man.
dan made scores. The locals did some
poor fielding and it was not looking any
too good until the fourth when the home
players brought in scores. !.
It was in the fifth that the Dickinson
boys got over their fright of Nelson and
went after him for 7 runs. The boys
were making two badgers and doing all
sorts of things. Up to 5th, Nelson had
struck out of the Dickinson men but
he was not doing it any more. When
Mandan came to bat in the 9th, Kelso
struck out men and they were put out
in the 1. 2, 3 order. The 7th. however,
was bad again for Dickinson. The Wis
itors were batting heavy, making 2 and
3-baggers. and pushed their score up to
s. From this time on until the last of
the 9th, Nelson held the Dickinson men
down in good shape and in the first of
the 9th Mandan tied the score.
1t is some years since Mandan played
Dickinson and it is not just sure when
the tie will be played off, but probably
our players will 60 to the Missouri river
city sometime early in September. On
the 18th Manager Nottingham will take
his team to 6lendive for game and
the following Sunday the Montana. play
ess are scheduled to come here.
Moore was the catcher for Dickinson
team. The other players were Davis.
Kelso, Rigdon. Robinson, Hubbard,
Hall Blair and Robinson.
The fact that the. game was startet
20 late. ON account of the delayed train,
made it unfortunate so far as getting
out crowd.

IRISH Play
AUGUST 2lst
"An Irish May-Day," Irish Jigs,
Reels, and Songs Presented
by St. Patrick's
Church.

Next Wednesday evening at the opera
house the young people of the St.
Patrick" church will present the musi-
cal play IAN Irish May-Day." The
scene of this play is laid in Ireland
and the music is taken from the famous
old Irish airs of which one never grows
tired.
One of the special features of the
entertainment will be the dancing of
the Irish jigs and reels by the children
who have received much special train
ing for this part of the program.
Mrs. P. j. Needham, organist at St.
Patrick's church, has had charge of the
training of the young people for this
play and as Mrs. Needham was born
and raised in Ireland the representation
will have all the originality of May
Day on the ''Ould Sod" The music
will be especially fine as the young
voices have been we'll trained and the
jigs and reels something new for home
talent in Dickinson.
A synopsis of the play is as follows:
Act /. Garden in front of the house.
Mrs. Carew gave the children holiday
on May Day. She goes to meet her
brother who has been searching the
world over for his daughter Daisy, who
was stolen by gypsies. In Mrs. Carew's
absence Daisy was found by the chill
dren.
Act 2. Daisy throned as Queen of
May. Her father discovers her by
necklace she wore. Great rejoicing.
Bridget Murphy affords great amuse-
ment.
During the intermission between the
acts there will be given the Irish jies
and songs,
