THE DICKINSON
COMMERCIAL CLUB
Considered Number of In
teresting and Important
Subjects to City.

Dickinson, N. D.. April 10.-The
Commercial club considered seevral
important matters at its last meeting,
n being the new freight schedule
soon to become effective. 1t was
learned that several hundred items
We're raised by classification and all
business men as we'll as farmers are
vitality interested to know which
things were included in the raise. H.
F. Schroeder was delegated to confer
with the local Merchants association
and the probabilities are that some
one will be sent east within a day or
W. to look into the matter. Belield
has taken action and other villages
should.
About a year ago the club spoke
of the white way" of lighting the
business section Of Dickinson and the
subject was again opened. w. F:
the way other establishments. Far
go. Grand Forks and Miles City-had
lighted thei rstreets. The owners Of
property usually pay for the post and
equipment which costs perhaps $50
to $50 for each light and then the city
furnishes the current. Each corner
should ave Il post and probably M
midway in the block on each side Of
the street. Messrs. Heaton, Burnett
anu i>lIlpIluSe are Il cOmnnllteo 10 In
vestigate further and report. This
committee is also to look into a better
system of drainage that is much need
ed, also the widening and repair Of
sidewalks, crossings. etc. A confer
ence will be held with the council on
matters of this kind.
G. S. Cryne wrote of his desire to
gather exhibits for the state EXPOSE
ton and the club seemed favorable.
Railroad matters were discussed in
a general way but there was nothing
definite for report.

DR.. Reed recently invented a vibra-

Already a large number of sales

Minneapolis, April 1o.-Higher

STARK COUNTY
BRIDGE DAMAGE
Several Were Injured in the
Recent Floods-Huge
Ice Block.

Dickinson. N. D., April 10.-The
county board in company with Sur
veyor Veigel. visited Antelope creek
and found that the sixty foot span
bridge at the Shipley crossing was a
total wreck as a result of the ice jam
last week.
This bridge was not large enough
IN the first place and the board has
bridge. ~
Surveyor Veigel found a cake of ice
on the creek bank that measured up
to the required dimension for 100
tons weight, and he said 1t was no
wonder that the small bridge was
twisted out of shape and carried down
stream some distance.
The commissioners also went to
Richardton and drove out to Heart
river. ten miles south, to see how
much the bridge was damaged. 1t
was thought that the bridge could be
repaired for a few hundred dollars
and made all right.
There was a report hat the bridge
at the John and James Little cross
ings were also damaged to some ex-
tent. People who were up from Glad
stone seemed to think hat the dam
age did not amount to much.
In the western part of the county
there is nothing very serious reported
up to this time.
At Dickinson 1t became necessary to
dynamite the ice gorge to save the
Heart river bridge.
It will take about $4,000 to put in
the bridge at the Andy Shipley place
and 1t will likely take about sixty
days.

Two Men Killed Hundred Prairie
Dogs by Irrigation,

New England, N. D.. April TO-
Here is a new record that weMthink
is hard to beat. Rowland Sheldrew
and Albert Nelson took advantage of
the high water and did some irtiga-
tion work that resulted in the death
of n hundred prairie dogs.
The north half of section 1~9-134-97.
is the home of several thousand
prairie dogs. The ground where they
have their home is low. Upon a near
by hill the boys did a little work, and
turned the water onto the low ground
flooding the dogs out. With tho as
sistance of a small dog and two spades
the boys killed one hundred Of the
rodents.
The work was done merely for the
pleasure Of killing. These little ami

a novel method and could doubtless
be put into practice in other places.

UNFAIR FIGHT
Aberdeen Creamery has Been Crossing
the State line Unjustly.

Mott. N. D., April 10.-For some
time it has been u we'll established
fact that the Aberdeen creamery has
been endeavoring to make inroads on
the territory of the Mott creamery by
having its agents offer cash prizes as
special inducements to the farmers Of
this county to ship their cream to
Aberdeen in lieu Of Mott. 1t is UNI
derstood that this is In direct conflict
with the anti-discriminating law and
the following supreme court decision
may serve as q lesson to the Aber-
deem creamery to keep within the con-
fines Of the law or take the conse-
quences. The law says In part:
ANY person. firm, co-partnefship
or corporation engaged In the bust
ness of buying milk. cream, or butter
fat for the purpose Of manufactur,
who. shall with the intention Of Great
ing monopoly or destroying the BUSH

The Rails Will Soon be Laid

Stanton, N. D., April 10.-From
present reports it is almost certain
that the rails will be laid to Stanton
within the c thirty days. c. II.
Seims of the contracting firm which
has the contract for building the north
branch to this city, is at Mandan and
is getting his forces ready to start
work at once to finish the gap from Ft.
Clark to Stanton. Reports are that
about 125 men will be here soon. With
favorable weather the line should be
completed to this city within thirty
days. Nearly all the right of ways
have been purchased on the Knife riy-
er line as far as Goodman's creek.
The line will follow the Knife river to
Troy. thence up Spring creek to the
mouth of Goodman's creek, then fol-
lowing Goodman's creek. We are un-
able to learn just where they intend to
go from there. President Elliott stat
ed that the building of this line from
Stanton depended upon crop pros
poets but that the grade would GER
tatnlX be built this year.
Surveyors camps are now located
at harrington, under Derring; at Good
mans creek. under Giantvalley; and
at Alexander under Coons.
Several parties prominent in rail.
road circles were here looking over
the work remaining to be done.

CORN INCREASE.

The indications are that 1912
will see a very great increase in
corn acreage in North Dakota.
Corn is rapidly taking a leading
position in this state. Statistics
on file at the North Dakota pub
licity bureau at Grand Forks
show that from 1899 to 1909 the
acreage of corn increased from
62.373 acres to 176,7S7. or 1875
per cent, as compared to an in
crease of apis per cent during
the ten years preceding. Corn
acreage has steadily Increased.
The total yield in 1909 was A.
999,103 bu. the average yield per
acre ~ bu., the average value per
acre $12.84.

We're gathered, there had been very

more than reasonable to believe that

with the brilliant prospects for spring
wheat seeding we are not inclined to
believe that the present report will
prove a bullish factor in the market

cause of inability to get coal, are un-
