With cattle scarce and meat prices
advancing. the Chicago Live Stock Ex-
change pleaded August End for an in
crease Of cattle raising in this country.
THE situation is serious. - said
Charles S. Jones, president Of the ex-
change. ''The live stock interests of
the country cry out for protection. Con-
gress or the state Legislatures must
soon take action encouraging cattle
raising
Meantime $40 cattle are expected to
make entry at the stockyards next
week. Only 4,500 cattle, 1S, 900 hogs
and 20. 600 sheep were received yester-
day. and both corn-fed and distillery
cattle sold for $9.S5, this being the
worlds record price for shoppers. -
Hogs brought from 81. so to $3.50. while
sheep were slow at 81 to .$7.40. Even
at the high prices stock was scarce. but
some relief is expected next week with
the heavy Montana and Texas ship

Great increase of consumers as OPP

Opening by Congress of western breed

Abandonment of cattle raising in corn
growing states, with consequent loss of
land to cattle.
Selling of calves for slaughter by the
dairymen.
The West is no longer shipping
many cattle. said Mr.. Jones. THE
market is short. The price of beef has
advanced. Our immigrants from the
lower classes in Europe are heavy meat
eaters, consumers and not producers.
Congress made mistake in throwing
open for settlement the grazing lands of
the West. Of small value for agricul-
ture, they are the very best for graz
ing"

INVENTOR kELs0 MOVES
TO the CAPITAL CITY

o. M. Kelso and family left last week
for Bismarck where they expect to make
their home in the future. Mr.. Kelso
has been able to secure enough support
to insure the starting of the manufac-
ture of his famous poison bottle and he
goes to Bismarck 10 begin preparations.
The medical fraternity of Hettinger
county has become interested in the in
vention and it now looks as il it would
not be long until the little life saving
bottle would be started upon its mis-
sion.
Mr. Kelso moved to New England
about. threee years ago and went into
the meat business with Asa Gardner.
He conducted very successful business
until this spring when he gave up the
work to devote his entire time to the
starting of the manufacture of his bot
tie which he invented last winter.
Money has been scarce article the
past spring and summer and Mr.. Kelso
met with reverses and disappoint-
ments. He stuck to il for he felt he had
a good thing. Many friends in New
England wish the inventor all possible
success. New England Herald.

GOOD RAINS IN PLACES
HAIL NORTH OF MANDAn

The rain storm Sunday afternoon did
very little harm in Stark county and as
far as can be learned there was very
little damage in Dunn county. A few
reports of partial loss to crops from hail
were reported from the Antelope district
out south. Reports from Dunn county
indicate that hail did little damage
in the territory that was hit July 25th.
On the whole the storm Of August 4th
was probably GOOD thing for farmers
in Stark, Dunn and Hettineer counties.
1t rained at Belfield, Gladstone, Taylor
and Richardton. Probably the same is
also true of many places in Billings
county. ALI. White reported heavy
rain out his way. and it is said that
New England had rain. In the country
north, rain was reported around Oak
dale, Fayette, Manning and Emerson.
North Of New Salem and Mandan q
disastrous storm. is reported, hundreds
and hundreds of acres of grain having
been wiped out much the same as here
on July nth. In the country east of
Bismarck the hail belt was wide and
destructive.

200 MILES OF TRAckAeE
ADDED TO STATE RAILROADS

Three new Northern Pacific branch
lines were turned over to the operating
department of that road last week. The
three lines embrace more than 200
miles of track and give access to en-
tire]y new territory. The Pingree- Wilton
branch. running from Pineree, N. D.,
to Wilton. N. D.. gives outlet to the
country immediate to Stutsman. Kidder
and Burleigh counties in the central
part of the state. The branch line runs
west from Pineree. This line was put in
operation recently when the first freight
trains were being started.
Morton. Oliver and Mercer counties
are pierced by the Mandan to stanton
branch. which was put into operation
March 1st The line runs north from
Mandan along the west side of the Mis-
souri, river, at right angles to the Pin
gree-Wilton branch reaching within
ten miles of it in one place. The third
line turned over to the operating de-
partment was the new branch from
Glendive. Mont. to Sidney, Mont, an
entirely new territory. Heavy crops are
predicted in these sections reached by
the new lines. Regular freight service.
with mixed trains at intervals, will be
maintained on these lines hereafter.

The City Mayor and aldermen were in
regular session on Wednesday after
noon and ordered warrants issued to the
amount of $2,256.67 for Indebtedness
incurred during the month of July.
Some of the larger bills were to Ed.

John Metz $369. 81 for road work on city
limit line; Martin Schiller $12O for team
hire for street work and Hughes g. Deit-
ers 1916. rs for light and power.
fhe most important business of the
Wednesday meeting was the resolution
adopted concerning the Lennevill farm
south of the city which Mrs. Anna
Lenneville claimed had been made un-
fit for habitation or running of stock on
account of the city sewage emptying
into the river at point near the north
west line.
After many deliberations the council
has wisely leased the farm from the
owner at $25 per month, the city having
the right to release the property.at any
time subject to sale by Mrs. Lenneville.
In addition to The SIS per month the
city RENTS the taxes during the life of
the lease.

TOOK BELFIELD's SCALP
MANDAn COMES SUNDAY

The local baseball team was at Bel
field Sunday, where they landed a
decisive victory. 13 to 3 being the
final scores. Our boys did not need to
play their best. in fact after the second
inning they just toyed with their oppo-
nents who were helpless in their hands.
There were no features except the alb
sence of head work on the part of Bel
field players which resulted in scores of
errors. Our team had new catcher by
the name of Moore and his work was
very satisfactory. Kelso pitched for
Dickinson the entire game and not
much got away from him. The other
members of the home team Sunday were
Davis. Dorfler, F. Robinson. j. Robin
son, Blair. Rigdon and Hubbard. Man
dan comes to Dickinson for a game next
Sunday and no doubt the teams will be
greeted by q good representative of fans.

CURRENT OF MO. RIVER
CUTS INTO Mckenzie Co

Alexander Chronicle: Williams
county has boldly swiped about 900
acres of land from Mckenzie county.
No criminal charge. however will lay
against Williams county-the Missouri
river is the real thief.
Trenton Point as it has been known
was until recently peninsula of Nc
Kenzie county about five miles long and
in some places not more than "a few
rods wide, around which the Missouri
river circled. The VILLAGE of Trenton
was just across the river from the point
of the peninsula. During the past few
years the neck or narrowest place in the
peninsula, about three miles south OF
Trenton has been gradually eaten away
by the current of the river until during
the past year it has been but couple
of rods wide.
1t has been expected that sooner o,
laser the river would break through al
this point during the high water. 1t,
however, stood out against the spring
floods only to give way when the river
was quite low. 1t will now be only a
matter of time until the old river bed
around the loop will dry up leaving
Trenton about three miles from the Mis-
souri, river.
AS the main current of the river is
the boundary between the two counties,
the owners of the land on the strip cut
off will become tax payers of Williams
instead of Mckenzie county. and the
next maps of Mckenzie and Williams
counties will show a change in tn e
course of the Missouri river.

FERRIsEs Prominent
IN new PARTY MOVEMENT

The Glendive Review of last week has
an account of the launching of the new
Progressive Party in Dawson county of
which j. A. Ferris of Sidney was
elected chairman and Editor j. A. Met
calf, secretary. Mr.. Ferris, who is a
personal friend of Roosevelt. drove IS
miles to be present at the Glendive
meeting and was one of the delegates
chosen to the state convention at
Helena and also went to Chicago as a
state delegate. Among the other county
delegates from Glendive were Geo. M.
Beasley. formerly q resident of Dickin-
son, F. C. Hughes, also we'll known
here and Thos. Murn, brother of Miss
Mary Murn of this city.
Readers of the PRESS recall the fact
that S. M. Ferris of Dickinson was one
of the state delegates in North Dakota
and was also selected as national dele
gate leaving Saturday with his brother.
Joe Ferris. for Chicago. The Ferrises
were personal friends of Theodore Roose-
welt at Medora during the early eight
les. The Chicago papers this week tell
of the hearty greeting Mr.. Roosevelt
gave his old friends on Monday. 1t is
said that Senator Joe Dixon had to
interrupt the meeting on account of
pressing convention matters awaiting
the former president.
This is what the Glendive Review,
Editor MetcaIf's paper. said last week
of the new party:
1.-The Glendive meeting was successful
in that it resulted: i'm making a def
mite OragniZatiOn- nucleus to work
from in the future. And those who
believe that this is merely spasmodic
movement, inspired solely by the rotten
political developments in national con-
ventions of the present year, will find
themselves greatly mistaken. The
Progressive Party now organized is not
merely a Roosevelt party. though the
former president has thrown himself in
to the breach and is leading the present
fight. Nor is it a temporary movement
on the part of g diseruntled party fac
tion.
The Progressive Party is here, and is
here to stay. 1t comes in response to
a demand of the people. The rottenness
which ran rampant at Chicago was
simply the corruption from a area,
national sore. which was brought to 8
head by the strenuous protest of justly
indignant citizens.
The Progressive Party, if propaGatet
in good faith. as it now seems to be,
will mean much to the West in general.

On Tuesday at ii O'Clock p. m. the
corner stone of the Dickinson Elk home
was laid with the proper impressive Ger
emonies. The members of the local
lodge No. 1897 had met in regular ses-
sion on Tuesday evening and adjourned
at.the mysterious hour of II to the new
temple building. where crowd of
people were gathered to witness the
preliminary dedication of one of the
most costly buildings of the city and the
finest Elk home in North Dakota. The
lodge officers were on the rostruln and
in the absence of L. A. Simpson j. E.
Phelan of Bowman. member of this
lodge. gave the address commemoratine
the event. His talk was good and very
appropriate. Exalted Ruler E. ]. Hugh
es laid the corner stone into, which were
placed the historical records of the
lodge and other valuable papers.
Music was rendered by St. Joseph s
band and the members were again in
social session at their club rooms,
where banquet and smoker was enjoy
ed.
On December 18th. 1908. the Dickin-
son lodge of Elks was instituted-the
fifth in the state. They have made q
healthy growth and have now over 280
members, and their present quarters
have long since been too small for con-
venience. Last year they purchased the
Linsley corner and when winter set in
the basement had been completed and
covered. The entire building when COM
plete will cost about SIS, 900 and will
be one OF which Dickinson will be just
ly proud. The construction work will
be rushed as rapidly as possible and the
Dickinson lodge No. 1897 B. P. o. E.
will celebrate their fourth anniversary
in December in their new home.

Hamilton Bros, also a saddle, and
started through the Bad Lands.
Deputies Moore and Armstrong and
party arrived in Dickinson early Thurs
day morning. The deputies went to
Sentinel Butte during the same day
and returned with their prisoner in the
evening. w. S. Hamilton, of fIamil-
ton Bros. went to the Butte in the
evening Thursday to pick up the
second horse which Molen had stolen
from them.
For three months prior to June 9TH,
1911, Molen worked for Hamilton Bros.
al their ranch in Bowman county. It
was about six months after he stole one
of their horses before they got track Of
him, at which time he was arrested in
Wyoming and taken to South Dakota.
The authorities had to wait until Molen
finished his second penitentiary term
before taking him back to- Bowman
county about three weeks ago.
1t was planned Thursday that ,Judfe
Crawford would 60 to Bowman overland
on Friday and pass sentence on Ed,
Molen. The minimum sentence is 1 year
and the .Uaximum years in the pen.
It is likely that Molen will get good
stiff sentence and that he will be placed
in charge Of Warden Hellstrom before
the night of the 10th.
Ed. Molen is some 26 to 80 years OF
age and has worked on ranches for q
number of years.

Ed. Molen. who escaped Jail at Bow
man the night of August End. was dis
covered Wednesday about 20 miles south
of Sentinel Butte. An officer was sent
out for him and he was taken to Senti-
mel Butte and guarded all night.
Deputies Frank Moore, Allen Arm
strong. w.. S. Hamilton and Ed. Okers
were speeding across the country north
west from Bowman and communicated
with the authorities on Wednesday re-
eardine Molen. They were close on his
trail and it would have been impossi-
bic for the man to have gotten away.
They had the Milwaukee, country pat
rolled and had notified the people at all
towns and postofice to be on the watch.
Last week Molen had jury trial at
Bowman and was found guilty Of steal
ine a horse from Hamilton Bros. on the
7th- Of June. 1911. and Judge w. C.
Crawford was to have passed sentence
on him Friday or Saturday. Molen, who
has served two terms at Sioux Falls, S.
D., seems to be q handy lock pick and
Friday night he threw the doors Of the
Bowman jail open, leaving q note to
the effect that he did not like the way
his trial was conducted and that he had
decided that he would not serve term
at Bismarck. He also said that it
would be useless for the authorities to
try to re-capture him. Two days later.
August 4th, he stole a second horse Of

ROOSEVELT
GOV. JOHNSON
Third Party Is Go. The Usual
Crowds Great the Former
President at the Chicago
Convention.

The third party was launched at Chi
caeo this week and Theodore Roosevelt
was nominated without opposition as
had been expected. Gov. johnson of
California, the man who put the South
ern Pacific gang to flight, was selected
as his running mate.
Great enthusiasm prevailed in Chi
caeo during the three days of the con-
vention, much to the discomfort of the
Taft supporters.
Roosevelt comes out fatty against
both the old parties and gives the
country what he styles his confession
Of faith.
The tariff, Roosevelt holds. should be
protective. but it should not be per-
mitted 10 injure those whom it is in
tended to benefit namely, the masses
of people. There should be perma-
nent non-partisan tariff commission
charged with the duty of investigating
all the facts that enter properly into the
making of tariff, and that commission
should have ample authority to compel
the disclosure of all the essential facts.
For the remedying of trust evils there
should be created a national industrial
commission with powers over industrial
combinations similar to those exercised
by the Interstate Commerce commission
over the railroads. The initiative and
referendum are advocated, together
with the recall of judicial decisions. -
Mr.. Roosevelt made it clear at Chicago
that he had severed his relations with
the republican party and that he re-
CARDS the new party, which he has been
chiefly instrumental in organizing. as
it's successor. Mr.. Roosevelt can see
no hope for the people in the platform
Of either of the old parties,
