Clifford Smith. driver for the Dickin-
son-M Manning stage-line for about two
years, has this week purchased the
Dickinson Oakdale line from Grant
Palmer. Grant purchased this line from
his father. J. A. Palmer, about two

stage lines win be accorded the most
courteous treatment and Uncle Sam can
depend on them for good service.

STARK COUNTY People
GO TO RESERVATION SOON

VIM. Johnstone of Richardton was in
Dickinson early in the week examining
the u. S. land Office records with refer
ence to his homestead filing made about
ten years ago. He did not establish
residence or receive any benefit from
the REIMBURSEMENT which he gave about
two years after the filing. Hence he
has a right to make new filing.
MIR. Johnstone registered last fall at
Bismarck for one OF the Berthold claims
and he has been notified to appear at
Minot on May IA. The filings start on
the 4th of May but holders of numbers
are instructed to appear at different
times Mr.. Johnstone has No. sci.
Guy DeFrance has No. 704 and will
likely 90 to Minot. Michael and Am
brose Palm, from near Richardton hold
numbers in between 800 and 900, and
Joe Fleck has number 1900.
The highest number called Is 1. $50
and it is stated by the government that
there are but 1882 claims. However. il
is expected that less than 1000 people
will present themselves at Minot for fl
ing. Hence it is quite sure that any
person holding number as high as
1. $50 can get one Of the 1. 282 quarters
offered. If the holder Of any number
Is not present in person, the holder of
the next number is given chance to
move up. 1t is quite probable that Mr..
Johnstone will get in some where on
the 400 list which should give him q
very good selection.

The accompanying cut is a picture of
the handsome residence of Mrs. O.. X.

her daughter, Miss Della Bosworth, are
noted for their acts of charity and
philanthropy, having now in their

sides one girl recently married aud liv-
ing near Glen Ullin. The Bosworth
family were originally of Michigan but
came to Milbank. S D., in 1880. where
they operated great wheat farm until
the time of their coming to Glen Ullin
in 1902. The husband died in 1898
but Mrs. Bosworth and only child have
capably MANAGED farm and household
affairs ever since.
During their career in Michigan they
took at least seven children into their

q: 5. cRynE ADDRESSED
State H;:.'.rss MEN

G. S. Cryne of Gladstone who -. ~
charge of the Stark county exhibit at
the state exposition at Bismarck last
fall. attended the special meeting of
the Commercial Club the evening of
April 18th. and gave his views on
the best means of gathering an exhibit
for 1912.
Mr.. Cryne's experience of last year
enables him to give valuable informa-
tion along this line. His idea is to
show the visitors that the county has
nutritious grasses which make the finest
beef in the world. He called attention
to the Geo. Aarkins sale of 1892 pub
lished in the PRESS when the record
price received was $7.40 per cwt. live
weight. These cattle were raised on
the then fine range of the Cedar creek
country. The speaker urged that Stark
county make our exhibit and that the
grasses and grain specimens be en-
closed In glass cases so that they could
be kept in a perfect state of preser-
vation. In this way the exhibits could
be taken to various places without in
jury. Vegetables. MIR. Cryne said. must
be replenished every few weeks in order
to get the best effect. His offer was to
make the Stark county selections pro-
viding the county would furnish the
cases. He did not want to take up the
work unless it could be done right and
if rightly handled he was sure that
Stark county would take prizes and
ret vast amount of good in the way of
attracting people from eastern states to
our country.
No definite action was taken at this
time. but vote of thanks was extend
ed to Mr.. Cryne with a promise of TAX
ing the matter up with him in the near
future.

Slope Development Co. in regard to a
date for general meeting of all COM
mercial clubs in Stark county at some

the matter further than to advise the
development league secretary that date
could not be fixed just now. so far as
the Dickinson club is. concerned.
In order to facilitate matters for the
annual election on May 1st. the chairman
appointed Oliver Whaley. J. V. Jessen
and j. w. Reed as nominating COM
mittee.
At the opening of the meeting Secre-
tary j. P. Cain made an interesting
report on the proposed new freight rate
of the railroads. Mr.. Cain. it will be
remembered, attended the meeting in
Fargo two weeks ago as the representa-.
tion of the Commercial Club and the
Retail Merchants Association.
A report of the plan to raise rates
by classification has already been pub
lished in these columns. However. the
Interstate Commerce commission has put
the matter over until June 14th in or.
der to give the experts for the various
Northwestern states affected more time
in which to prepare and submit evi'
dence.
