A BOUNTY FOR TREES
Farmers SHOULD PLANT

One of the North Dakota laws pro-
vides bounty of So per acre for grove
up to ten acres. Anyone who plants and
cares for grove with trees not more
than feet apart each way is entitled
to a reduction in the ,axes of So an
acre. The limit is ten acres. This
makes the growing OF grove profit
able thing. The trees will bring as
much profit per acre as farm crop, but
the returns do not come for some time.
With the bounty the returns begin at
once. There will also be the indirect
benefit. The drove. if alongside the
southside of field. will have quite an
influence on the yield through lessenine
the effect of hot winds. This is q good
law from the standpoint of the county
and state too. as the planting of tre es
will have an appreciable affect on winds
and especially when the tree plant ing
becomes quite general. Every farmer
ought to put out a grove. There is no
one thing that will do much to improve
the prairies.
Stark county has ahout two persons
who are getting bounty for trees and
there should be many more.

PRESS ACTS As MEDIUM
IN LOCATING OLD CORRAL

This week the PRESS had another
letter concerning tire location of the old
corral or intrenchment made by Capt.
James Fisk and his immigrant train
in the summer of 1864, of which we
told few weeks ago and which the
State Historical society is making
an effort to locate. A. S. Jackson, a
former rancher in this section gave
some information three weeks ago and
the letter this week comes from gen.
tleman at Rhame and is as follows:
Editor PRESS: notice lin your is
sue of February 1st, letter from Mr..
Jackson locating the government corrals

the E. l. R0QUETTE co.
WILL MOVE next week

The F. L. Roquette Co. has been duly
incorporated. with a capital stock oi
$50. 600. The incorporators and officers
are: F. L. Roquette. president: G. G.
Bowers. secretary; W. F. Sommers,
treasurer.
Fred Roquette has been in the mer.
camille business in this city for many
years and needs no introduction to oul
readers.
Gerald Bowers was with the Cart
wright Co. until about a year ago when
the store burned. since which time he
has been in charge of the shoe depart.
ment at the Roquette store. He is an
experienced grocery man as we'll. and
will have charge of this department in
the new store.
William Sommers is dry GOODS man
of much experience. He was with
Roquette Bros. from 1898 to 1908, re.
turning to a large mercantile company
in Minnesota for few years and COM
ing back to Dickinson last fall.
The new firm will commence to move
the coming week into their handsome
store. occupying the entire first floor ol
the Elk building 1t will likely be
about the first of the month before
everything is arranged and the doors oil
the new place thrown open to the pub
lie.

NEW CO., FOR.
SHORT | RANCH Y
Ray staekhouse Ranch Co., Capital.
lied at $15o,oeo. Acquire
Valuable Stock Lands on
River North Of Medora.

W. W. Stackhouse and Walter Ray
are forming company. to be known
as the Ray Stackhouse Ranch Co. j,
capitalized at $50. 600, to take over
the Short property. It is a big deal
and includes one of the finest ranch
propositions in Western North Dakota.
The Short property, comprising Is
sections. or II. $40 acres of land, is
located on the Little Missouri river,
20 miles north of Medora. There are
1000 acres of river bottom that can
be irrigated in fine shape, making it
more productive than the high priced
lands of the East, and it was this fact.
perhaps, more than anything else that
interested Messrs. Ray and Stackhouse
in this ranching proposition. They
realize the great possibilities in grow
ing alfalfa and other fodder crops
where an unlimited supply of river
water is available.
The lands purchased will easily carry
3. 900 head of cattle and horses, and it
will be the plan of the company to
purchase the required live stock in the
spring. Sixteen sections of the Is are
watered by streams and springs and
the hills of this locality have long
since been recognized as fine grazing
territory for stock. There are clumps of
red cedar and other timber on the sides
of the hills and along the streams suffi-
cient for fencing and other purposes
required on the land.
Walter Ray has had a good deal of
experience in raising live stock in this
country and is recognized as a success
full grower of cattle and horses.
There are very few really good ranch
ing tracts to be secured at present and
the general opinion is that Messrs. Ray
and Stackhouse are fortunate in being
able to get the Short lands which were
salectea some ysass aaos > before THE
great influx Of people from the east
ern states.

Old Willard
TORN DOWN
Once Leading HosteIery Cleared
Away, Making Room for Fine
Brick Structure. Prop
erty Of Berrinser Bros.

This week witnesses the removal of
another land mark in Dickinson. the old
Willard House, erected by Charles H.
Klinefelter during the summer of 1883.
Berringer Bros. bought the property
quite number of years ago at an ex-
pense of $4,000. The buildings were
in poor shape, among the few frame
structures left on Willard street in the
block, and the owners decided that ii
was best to level them down and clear
away the rubbish.
There has been considerable specula-
tion the past week as to what the prop
erty will be used for in the future. The
owners do not say. They considered it
a good time to clean off the lots and
make this 50 feet of Willard street pre-
sentable. A number of plans for the
construction of handsome brick block
will likely be seriously considered with
in the near future To fact is this
site is too valuable to remain vacant
very long.
There is scarcely spot in Dickinson
more historic than the old Willard House
site. The hotel proper was two-story
frame occupying Is feet frontage and
extending back only part of the lot.
The annex on the west. short one story
structure. was originally detached from
the hotel few feet. 1t was erected by
Hi Merrill in 1883 and used by him as
saloon. Mr.. Merrill was the man who
homesteaded the land on which the
high school building now stands
Eventually Landlord klinefelter join ted
the Merrill building to the Willard
Heuse. cutting door through, and for
long time it was used as the hotel
bar.
The Willard was named for Henry
Willard, the man who had so much to
do with the construction of the North
ern Pacific and whose financial pros
poets were ruined in 1881 when he took
large party of investors over the line
in special train. The country was
new and it did not look inviting 10 the
financiers of New York and the Euro
pean countries.
Some time after the financial crash
Henry Willard was passing through
Dickinson and noticing the hotel across
the street from the depot walked over
and placed his name on the register of
the Willard House.

BuuY OF MRS. UcELlA BR00ls
FOUND FROZEN on PRAIRIE

The frozen body of Mrs. Cecilia Brooks
was found last Saturday about a mile
and half from her home in the brakes
near the Missouri river. not far from
Oakdale. The lady was 81 years of age
and had been living alone on home
stead since last September. at which
time she came from Minneapolis, her
former home. She was in good health
and enjoyed homesteading, being par
ticularly fond of outdoor life. Her near
est neighbors were the James E. Fenton
family about three miles away. where
she walked quite often and where she
had apparently started for on the trip
which ended in her death. She was
taking along some letters which she had
written. and leaving them by the road
side with other articles, she probably
left the path to examine some rock or
plant. as was her custom. After wan
dering for about a mile and half in
the brakes she evidently became COM
pletely exhausted and laid down 10 rest.
1t was probably week later that her
frozen body was discovered by neigh.
bors. She was warmly clad and her
body was lying in resting posture.
The remains were brought to Dickin-
son Sunday by Eugene Babcock. where
they were prepared by Bouleer & Hugh
es and taken Monday to Minneapolis for
interment besides those of her husband.
Her son. W. P. Brooks. and wife of
Manning accompanied the remains east.
Mrs. Brooks is survived by two sons.
W. P. BROOKS, who has been clerk of
court of Dunn county since its organi-
zation and prominent man in the
country north. Lester Brooks. of Min
neapolis, formerly in the mercantile
business at Manning with his brother.
as Brooks Bros. succeeded by Reed
Bros. A daughter of the deceased died
about year ago at Minneapolis. Mrs.
C. B. Hanson of this city is sister of
Mrs. W. P. Brooks.
Mrs. Brooks was lady who endeared
herself to all who knew her. She en-
joyed the change to the country las,
fail and assured her sons that it would
be all right for her to live there alone.
She loved nature and was good
woman.
Much sympathy is extended to tise
bereaved relatives of Mrs. Brooks and
t0 ,lieT many friends.

k0EsAl STORE At MOTT
DESTROYED BY FIRE

The big mercantile stock OF the Col.
den Rule at Mott lies in ashes. Th.
institution. formerly opera ted by thu
Barth Mercantile Co., was owned and
conducted by Albert Koesel, recently Of
Richardton. The last inventory showed
amount of stock to be about SIS, 600. The
building. owned by the Barth Mercan.
tile Co., was valued at S.. 600 and wat
insured for 81. 600. On the stock, insur.
ance policies to the amount of SIS, ,OO(
was carried.
Mr.. Koesel's loss will therefore be
several thousand dollars. The Barth loss
on building was nearly covered by in.
surance.
The fire started in the basement.
seemingly from the furnace and was
we'll under headway before discovered.
An attempt was made to save a little
hardware in the rear but it did no,
amount to much.
The two chemical FIRE engines which
Mott has were frozen 10 and did not
help in this fire in the least.
Albert Koesel has not stated what he
will do, but the chances are that he
will not remain in Mott after the losses
are adjusted and he has had time to
arrange business matters. He still has
large business interests at Richardton
and that is likely where he will move.
Mr.. Koesel traded the Nels Gustine
farm last year to the Barths for their
Mott store property. The land was fis-
ured at $28 per acre.
Nh. Koesel seems to have suffered a
number of severe lossess lately. Hi
crop loss by hail last season was esti-
mated at S.. 900.

Of the new company the Tribune says
The organization of this sets a new
pace in the organization of such COM
panies in this or any other country. Il
was just a week ago that S. d. Cook o4
Helena, anu for many years residen:
of North Dakota. arrived in town for the
purpose Of organizing this company.
His plan was so feasible and novel that
he surprised even himself in the rapid
ity Of his success. The company is or
eanized with a capital of 500, 900 and
Saturday afternoon saw over $50, 600
spot cash paid in, and considerable
more subscribed. which will be forth
coming. This is the quickest record ever
known in the United States.

which deals in this kind of insurance.
The manner in which the oreaniza-

HART MARRIAGE
At MED0RA WEDNESDAY

Cupid outwitted the historic city oI
Medora on Wednesday of this week,
when a very quiet wedding was per.
formed five miles south of that place.
The contracting parties were Leo A.
Hart. assistant cashier of the Stock
men State Bank of Medora and Miss
Ruth w. McGregor, daughter of Auditor
and Mrs. j. A. McGregor Of Billings
county.
1t had been the desire of the contrac.
ting parties, to keep everything very
quiet, and not even a leak seemed to
have reached the ears of Madam Gossip,
until the knot was firmly tied. and as
they are among the most popular young
folks, the surprise to their friends a,
Medora was a big one.
The wedding took place at the ranch
home of the BRIDES parents. south Of
Medora, in the presence Of just a few
of the personal relatives Of the young
couple. Rev. John Orchard. an old
friend of the family went up from Dick.
inson to perform the nuptials at p.
M. making the simple ceremony effec-
tive and impressive. The BRIDES and
eroom's parents were present, also the
brother Lawrence McCreaor, George
Mason. brother of Mrs. Mctsreeor and
wife, and Mr. and Mrs. George Burgess
of Medora.
The bride looked charming in a pretty
pink silk costume, carrying on her arm
a large bunch of pink roses. while the
groom conducted himself with the same
calmness that is characteristic of him
at the cashiers window.
After the ceremony had been per-
formed, Mrs. McGreeor invited the
guests to sit down to a spread, fit fol
royalty. The table was prettily decor
ated with smiiax and carnations.
Dickinson people will remember that
Ruth, the only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
McGreeor, was born in Dickinson. The
family were among the early aud prom
inent residents, moving to Billings
county several years ago. Ruth has
been an efficient assistant in the reg
lister Of deeds office at Medora for sever
al years and is an accomplished and
estimabie young lady. Mr.. Hart is
the son of Mr. and Mrs. Hart Of Senti-
mel Butte and q youns man Of good
