SURVEYORS
Near MARY
Crew Working Along Spring
Greek Through Near Manning
and Fayette into Terri
tory South of Mary.

Some of the railroad surveying crew
working along Spring creek and the Lit
tie Knife, were. in from the north the
past week. Engineer Eckstrand was in
for his auto which had been shipped
out to him from the east, and one of
the camp cooks was in to get provisions.
It is impossible to get any definite
information from these engineers. All
that they will give out is that tkey are
trying to find an easy Grade through to
Sidney. The linesof survey that have
been made this season are. through the
Spring creek country, west from Halli-
day. not far from Manning. just a little
north Of Fayette, through the Little
Knife river country into the Mary terri
tory. 1t is said that if the company
could find an easy pass through the
Bad Lands, the:road would::eventuslly 60
through west to Sidney.
The surveys report the altitude at
Mary 2.66o feet above sea level.

Meet HERE
next Year
Convention of State Auditors
Come to Dickinson in 1913.
Auditor J. A. McGregor
Gets Meeting

The state auditors of North Dakota
will meet in annual convention in Dick
inson next spring. This was the decis-
ion of the 1912 state convention of
county auditors which adjourned in Far
60 on Wednesday.
To John A. McGreeor. the able audi
tor of Billings county. is due much
credit for getting the next meeting in
this city. The auditors of the Slope
district were all loyal and came to Mr..
McGregor's support when he made the
motion to hold the next meeting in
Dickinson. Heretofore these meetings
have usually been held in Fargo or
Grand Forks, but Auditor McGregor stole
a march on the Valley and secured the
votes necessary to bring the convention
west of the Missouri river. John Nc
Gregor used to live in Dickinson and he
naturally thought that getting the con-
vention here was the next best thing to
taking it to Medora. where the hotel &C.
commodations are little small for biz
conventions. Our people will not for
get this kindly act of Auditor McGreaor.
Auditor j. L. Hughes was unable to
attend this year.
James A. Brown Of Rolette county is
president of the state auditors associa-
tion; Ray Brice of Devils Lake. secre-
tary.

l. A. SIMPSON
IS The man
For Congress for the srd Con:
gressional Dist. Has .16
Years Legislative Ex-
perience to His Credit.

The Flasher Hustler, published at
Flasher. in Morton county, had this
to say Of Senator I. A. Simpson s
candidacy on May 10th:
The 6rst thing that constituents must
consider in a candidate-es especially for
consress-is his legislative, executive
and judicial ability-and if he possesses
these il is q pretty safe bet, that when
he is elected to Office, that he will not
to be found wantink-and in the person
of Hon. Leslie A. Simpson of Dickinson,
the voters Of the Third Congressional
District have such candidate. That
Leslie Simpson has proven beyond a
doubt to be q man possessed of remark
able ability. his sixteen years expert
ence in the 4egislative halls Of the state
and his successful career as brilliant
lawyer. is only one criterion to 60 by,
and this alone is sufficient to place
him at the head of the list of candi-
dates, now in the field. as the most
able and reliable man for congressman
for the Third district. He is man.
who. if elected. will represent the
people. because he is one of them and
knows the vents of the people Of North
Dakota as whole, to say nothing of
the wants of the people of the Third
dietfiet.

all that can be expected of sound finan-
cial institutions. Three banks in q

more than the town and surrounding

The business done by the State Bank
has always been along most conserva-
tive lines and the Security took over

thing that speaks very highly for Cash

4 for Billings being one of the last.
In his address Wednesday, Mr.. Slos-
son gave some interesting history OF the
Slope exhibit at the St. Paul Land Show
last fall. 1t was poor season to get
gram exhibits and funds for defrayine
expenses had to come from private
sources. Dairy products were pushed to
the trout. The sixteen counties have
43 creameries. or 80 per cent of the
creameries of North Dakota. and MIR.
Slosson had a tub of butter to represent
each creamery. He had good booth
and estimated that 100, 900 people visit
ed the place.
M. Tschida, a resident of the state
for more than 80 years and now prom
inent real estate dealer in Glen Ullin.
said that the exposition advertising
had already been felt at Glen Ullin,
where. in one instance. an Indiana fam
lily had been attracted to his county,
making a $40. 400 investment. and there
were several others he could mention.
Mr.. Tschida told how enthusiastic the
Morton county people were over the de-
velopment organization. He was GER
tain that a strong organization of the
Slope people could get great benefits
from the railroads that it is now impos-
sible to get.
Manaaer W.. F. Gobius, of the Hol-
land Dakota Landbouw Co., was present
from Beldeld. and gave his hearty ap-
provai of the move. Mr.. Gobius repre-
sents large interests, his company own
ing IS. 600 acres in the county, and
said he believed it to be one of the
best moves that Stark county had ever
made.
The next meeting Of the Stark County
Development League will be at the call
Of President Lillibridge. possibly in
about two weeks.
y The meeting at the armory was called
to order BY President Richards Of the
Commercial Club.

DECISION FOR FRANK TuHY
KEEPS HIS HOMESTEAD

On Monday the case of the govern
ment vs. Frank Tuhy was brought in
D. S. court before Judge Amidon in
Fargo and judgment given in favor
of defendant.
Frank Tuky is farmer residing with
his family about eleven miles northwest
of Dickinson. Last fall a government
inspector started an action to cancel
Frank Luhy's patent issued by the
United States for his homestead on
which he had made proof almost six
years previously. The statute limita-
tion for revokine deed on account of
fraud in six years after the proof has
been made. The time of Limitation
was nearly up.
The ground on which the action was
started was that Frank Tuhy had not
lived on the land and that while he had
cultivated the homestead he and his
family were living on his mother 8
quarter on adjoining land.
Attorney M. L. Mcbride was employ
ed, and he soon discovered that on ac-
count of having no water on his home
stead. Frank Tuhy had kept his stock
just over the line on his mother 8
place, and in threshing season, had
sometimes moved his family to her
place using his own house for a
granary until such time as he could
haul the grain to market.
A hearing was held in Dickinson at
which time depositions were taken.
These depositions showed that the
man had lived on the homestead as in
dicated above, that he had the land
mostly under cultivation, that he did
not attempt to make proof until nearly
five and half years after making his
filing and that he was still in possess
sion of the land and cultivating the
same.
Attorney Mcbride is inclined to think
that Frank Tuhy had enemies who gave
reports to the government inspector
which were considerably colored. They
Gave part of the truth but not the
whole truth.

the Better Farming Train in Dickinson

zens of the city gave the farmers free
dinner and provided entertainment after
the exhibit train had left Dickinson.
This year the railroad company will
have a much larger exhibit of live
stock. poultry. machinery, demonstra-
tions, etc., using 10 cars, and it will be
we'll worth the farmer time to come
in for the day. Fred Turner. fl. F.

bridge and M. L. Ayers are q commit
tee of general arrangements. Within
few days the committee will meet and

E. H. Gunderson also spoke few words
for the Taylor club.
Some 20 new men. including those
mentioned before and NJ. E. Hall,

A committee was instructed to take
up the matter of extending free mail

J. B. Slosson, in the general Office, is

It was suggested that in the fall street

Codes Of North Dakota the county

to levy not to exceed one-fourth of one
mill against assessable property for an
immigration fund. such money to be
expended for securing settlers in such a
manner as the board deems best.
Mr.. Slosson stated that a one fourth
mill levy would make an average of
15c tax tor each quarter section and in
Stark county the total amount raised
would be ST, 800. The total for the six
teen cOnntioa ia estimated at %16 00O
