OPENED MONDAY AFTERNOON

Dickinson's first public playground
was opened on Monday and during the
afternoon and evening Of that day II
of the young people and children of the
city enjoyed the various sports and
recerations to be found there. The at
tendance has been increasing daily and
Mr.. WelJman, physical director, is
much pleased with the interest taken
by both young and old.
For the little tots there are see-saws,
sand boxes, etc, and trapeze equipment.
The tennis court is generouously patron
lied by the older people and in few
days Mr.. We]lman expects to get
started in the outdoor basketball sport.
The playground hours are from O'Clock
p. m. to 8 80 p. m. Those under
years have the afternoon un-
til S 80 O'Clock and those over that age
have from 80 to 8 80. Anyone
going there will remember that they
must obey the director at all times and
conform to the general playground rules.
Parents are invited to bring their
smaller children to enjoy the benefits of
the grounds and everyone is asked to
help make Dickinson's first venture
along this line. decided success.

CREAMERY CO. WILL Make
SEM MONTHLY PAYMENTS

A meeting of the board of directors
of the Dickinson Creamery Co. was held
on Monday afternoon. The officers
were all reelected as follows: A..
Jensen, president: Guy Dickinson,
secretary and manager and W. j. Pei
ton, treasurer. These men with C. S.
Langdon, Anton Burda and M. Hecker
compose the board of directors.
During the year ending June 1st. the
local creamery has paid out over
81. 800 to its patrons for milk and
cream. 1t is enjoying splendid
patronage now and at the meeting Mon
day afternoon it was decided to pay
senli-monthly instead of once a month
as heretofore. At this time the farmers
need money oftener and the more
frequent payments may induce a greater
patronage.
The work at the local creamery is in
charge of H. H. Hubbard, an efficient
buttermaker and good many pounds of
butter of the best grade are being put
out weekly.

ISOLATED TRACTS CAN
Be BOUGHT OF GOVT.

The sale of isolated tracts of govern
n1ent land is an important thing for the
honesteaders and settlers in the west
era part of this state, as it enables
them to purchase tracts of 80 and 40
acres adjoining their lands in many
instances where all the surrounding
lands have been filed upon. Since 1910,
however. there have been no sales of
isolated tracts. because the coal land
classification of the government with
drew all of the public lands from sale.
The sale of isolated tracts has besn
restored now, through the efforts of our
members in Congress. The Dickinson
u. S. land Office has received notice of
the new law which is in the following
terms:
That unreserved public
lands of the United States. exclusive
of Alaska, which have been withdrawn
or classified with coal lands, or are val
liable for coal shall be subject
to disposition
News of this restoration of isolated
tracts to sale will be received with great
interest in the western part of the state.

good roads were one of the greatest
aids in getting railroads. and in any
event the farmers must first have the
roads properly laid out and the bad
places fixed. Years ago it was all very
different. The people followed trails.
There were no fences and they could
travel across the country in any direc-
tion.
John Fisher said if the county would
properly construct bridge on the Man.
ming crossing it would not be carried
out by the ice. He said Green river
township would put the road in good
repair if the bridge could be secured.
Surveyor W. R. Veieel explained that
Stark county had but $s. 600 for bridges
this year and about half of this amount
had already been appropriated in the
second district. He said the commits.
sioners had difficult time in supplying
the pressing needs for bridges and cul-
verts.
From the information gained through
the Dunn county delegation it is evil
dent that there is prospects of an enor-
nous grain crop north and that a great
amount of the same will naturally be
marketed in Dickinson if the roads are
made passable.
The good roads committee from this
city will have a conference with the
commissioners and get work started at
once on putting the roads in good
shape to the Dunn county line. There
are no heavy grades between Dickinson
and Manning and there should be nc
great difficulty in putting this road in
good shape.

had carried the state for the nomination
of secretary Of state. Buchanan seems
to be in the lead for governor and it is
said that count of the second choice
votes is necessary to settle the ques-
tion. It is thought that most of the
progressive state ticket is elected.
The dispatches Thursday announced
the defeat of John +. Cowan by c. w.
Butts in the Devils Lake judicial dis
trict. Judge Winchester was also re-
ported defeated by Attorney Nuessle.
In Dunn county it appears that Harry
Casper is nominated for sheriff, c. Scott
for register of deeds. and W. A. earns
for states attorney. This looks like a
smash for Editor Youne's republican
ticket.
In Hettinger county Mr.. Simpson has
273 majority over all the other congress
sional candidates. In the town of Het-
tinaer he received 20 votes and Mr.. Nor
ton "a and MIR. Davis "A. His majority
in Dunn county is about 40. In the
10 Slope counties Mr. Simpson has a
majority of about 5000.
The totals shown in our table of elec-
tion returns are taken from the figures
received late Thursday in the auditor 8
Office. 1t will be noticed that there are
some precincts where the vote is not
shown, but the figures when supplied
will not change the totals indicated.

GOOD ROADS
FOR NORTH
Delegation of Dunn Co. Peopl'
Meet Here to Discuss Roads.
Green River Bridge
Is Promised.

A special meeting of the Commercial
Club was held last Friday night to Give
local business men q chance to confer
with large Dunn county delegation
on road matters. The session lasted
until late hour and it is believed that
much good will result from the confer
ence.
Among those who were in from the
north were: M. L. Larson. A. A. Lied
erbach, W. L. Boyd. J. H. Thegley, M.
j. johnson. Will Ross, Nelson Swager.
H. N. Owens, E. E. Aldrich. Christ
Larson. C. A. Ladenberger and Archie
Merrill.
A. A. Liederbach has figured consid-
erably on better roads for Dunn
county. His estimate is that it costs
about 27c per bushel to market wheat
from his locality, the distance being 40
to so miles. A 4-horse team handles a
load of 100 bushels. A traction engine
would handle 900 bushels and reduce
the cost to 7c per bushel. or saving
of zoe per bushel. But in order to be
able to use traction engines for this
purpose the county must have good
roads and heavy bridges. Mr.. Lieder-
bach's idea would be to bond. This
matter was looked up by Attorney T. F.
Murtha and it was found that Dunn
county could not bond for more than
about $1S, 900 which sum would hardly
build the three trunk roads. north and
south. for the three commissioner dis
tricts, that Mr.. Leiderbach had in
mind. This gentleman showed how the
farmer would save enough on one load
of what hauled to market to more than
pay his share of bond tax for 20
years. But just how to get the bond
matter under way seemed to be the
question. 1t was suggested that the
good roads committee from Dickinson
have conference with the Dunn county
commissioners and other business men
from the north and possibly 60 over the
ground together.
Work is needed on the Manning cross
ing at Green river and this the Dickin-
son business men promised to take up
at once. A little work now will put
the river crossing in very good shape
until heavy rains come, and later in
the season it is hoped that the bridge
can be erected.
7. S. Underhill gave very interest
ing talk about the early settlement of
the country. he having been a resident
of Stark county since 1882. Mr.. Under
hill said good roads were due the farm
ers and he knew nothing that helped
the development of the country as much
as really good roads, In his opinion
The Dickinson press., 1912-06-29

The people of Dickinson and Stark
county and the entire Slope country are
rejoicing in the sweeping victory of L.
A. Simpson in his candidacy for the
nomination of Congressman in the
Third district. His nomination was
conceded by his opponents at an early
hour on Thursday and hearty congratu-
lations were pouring in from all parts
of the district.
P. D. Norton of Hettinger is perhaps
second man, with I'M. Devine third and
Blaisdell at the foot. Biaisdell lost his
home city of Minot to Mr.. Davis. Mr..
Simpson had 316 votes in Dickinson to
less than 80 votes going to the other can
didates. He swept the county by an
overwhelming majority and is said to
have carried Mandan by more than
3 to 1, getting big majoriti es at New
England, Regent and in many of the
towns down south. He also carried Dunn
county, Mercer, Oliver and Billings.
In county nominations there were
some surprises as is always the case at
the polls. The nomination of Valentine
Koch for clerk of court was one of them.
Litch, Burnett and Nichols were run
ming neck and neck for this Office.
The way Reuben Lyon rolled up votes
in Dickinson and some of the outside
precincts was gratifying to his friends.
Geo. Brown walked away with the
German vote. The contest between H.
c. Berry and M. L. Mcbride was spirit
ed. For states attorney and register
of deeds the '6ght was bitter.
The only contest of special interest
in the democratic camp was between
.loe Cuskelly and Ed. Hughes for
sheriff, the former winning by safe
majority.
Returns from Billings county are
meager bun it is reported that A. L..
Martin was defeated .byHoverson for the
nomination of senator.
Adam A. Mischief, the big Richard
Ton merchant, gets the nomination on
the republican ticket for commissioner
in the 3rd district. It is also under
stood that Ed. Mottershead defeated Dr..
:Faber for committeeman.
This week the PRESS is only giving
votes on offices where special interest
,centered. Many of the candidates had
mo opposition and their vote is not in
:dicated.
In state matters it was conceded
Thursday afternoon that Thomas Hall

TnE ,.lsTlTUTE TRAIN
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS

The attendance at the Institute train
in Dickinson last Friday was the Sec
ond largest in the state and proved a
great success in every way. Mr.. Burn
ham who had the train in charge fol-
the Northern Pacific. estimated that
5000 to 3, 500 went through the
exhibition cars at Dickinson. This
number probably included about 1000
farmers.
1t was a perfect day, really about the
first warm summer day for some weeks.
The train exhibits were very instructive
and interesting and the lectures were
good.
Prof. Thomas Shaw and Prof. o. C.
Gregg remained over unit No. 3 in
the afternoon and spoke to an audience
of about 500 in the armory after dinner.
Mr.. Gregg is one Of the greatest live
stock lecturers in the Northwest and
Mr.. Shaw as most of our readers know,
is an authority on soil culture. Both
were entertaining.
The luncheon committee fed from zoo
to 800 people in the Armory basement
and every member of Chairman Murtha 4
committe worked very hard. They had
not been looking for so many farmers
and consequently it took two hours OF
more to complete the serving and
naturally some who had to wait the
longest became tired and went away.
Another time the committee woulG
