OPEN new TOWNS
In MONTANA

Plentywood Mont, May S1.-The
Plentywood extension Of the. Great
Northern railway in Montana is now
an. assured fact, each train into Plen-
tyWood Is bringing in grading outfits
and supplies and there is every promise
that the line will be completed in time
to haul out the 1913 crop.
The work has been divided up among
several sub contractors in order that
the grade will be ready for the steel
within time specified in the contracts
The present line was laid into Plen-
tywood during the fall of 1910 and the
Plentywood branch today is consider
ed one Of the best feeders on the
Great Northern system.
Plentywood, the present terminus Of
the line, is the best town in north
eastern Montana, having population
Of close to 700 people at this time, and
is the distributing point for territory
as large as many of our eastern states.
1t is the county seat of the new county
of Sheridan, has four banks, five lum-
Der yards, six general stores and 9TH
er enterprises in proportion.
Eight hundred thousand bushels Of
grain have been shipped from Plenty
wood during the past year, which
shows the tremendous possibilities
when we consider the fact that not
tary is under cultivation.
The extension from Plentywood to
Scobey will pass through some of the
finest land in Montana and new towns
are being established and several lines
of business are now represented.
The first townsite to be plated is
located fourteen miles west Of Plenty
wood on a nice level bench above the
banks of the Big Muddy river on what
Ia lxy,nyp1 oS fhn Pnnnoft Jon5 nh a,r
will be splendid openings at this point
for all lines of business and we are in
formed that the sale OF lots for this
townsite will be held upon the toWnsite
Wednesday, June IL. 1918, at 2:30 %.
m.
The second townsite is located about
twenty-one miles northwest from
Brentwood and two miles northwest
from present inland town of Redstone,
and will make a good town from the
start. There are about twenty differ
ent lines of business now represented
at Redstone postoffice and these will
be moved over to the new townsite as
soon as sale Of lots is held, which we
are advised will be Thursday, June 12,d
1913, at 2:30 p. m.
The territory surrounding these two
new towns is especially adapted to-
mixed farming and stock raising and
the soil is uniformly good, some OF the
best bench land in Montana being trib-
utary to these two points
The Northern Town and Land Co. Of
Willmar, Mimi. are the owners of these
two townsites and as there is large
farming district tributary, every. effort
is being put forth to induce new bust
ness enterprises to locate at these
points in order to take care of the vol
ume Of business that will surely fol-
low the advent Of the railroad.
Everyone desirous of engaging In
business ana everyone looking for new
present at the sale Of lots and get in
on the opening Of these towns.

perfect Memorial day as yesterday.
Ideal weather made it possible for all
the old soldiers to attend the services

the graves of those who gave their
lives to preserve, the flag.
The services at the Grand theatre
and Island park were largely attended,
when Rev. w. j. Hutchinson and w. L.
Van Horn delivered the addresses of
the day. These meetings were attend
ed by the veterans of the Grand Army,
the Women's Relief corps, the Spanish
American war veterans, the Sons of
Veterans, Co. B of the North Dakota

most fitting subject and handled in
a mastery manner.

Mr. Van Horn said, in part:

fellow citizens: / have been asked to
speak today in honor and memory of

nearly all Of the national cemeteries;

there lies beneath each of those the
remains of some one who died for his
country and is buried in the un-
known grave. In most of these ceme-

Flag SHIPMENT
Was DELAYED

The Forum regrets that many Far
goans were disappointed in not being
able to get flags for Memorial day.
The patriotism of Fargoans and Incl
dentally the advertising value of The
Forum was thoroughly proved by the
big demand for the starry banners
made in response to The Forums flag
offer.
Despite the fact that hundreds of
flags were secured, it was seen that
there would be shortage before Me-

graphed to Chicago for special ship
ment by express. Although shipped
in plenty of time they were delayed in

Mt EW YORK, Oct. 11.-F'rank
Chance has completed his first
year as an American League
manager and at the present time is
speeding westward to the orange
groves of Glendora, Cal. The Peerless
Leader did not tarry for the Worlds
Series between the Giants and Attn
letics. He will be back next spring
for a new deal of the cards and hopes
to do better than he did in his in
augural year in the Ban Johnson CIR
cult
1t must be confessed that the popu-
lar idol OF Chicago did not finish 20
well in the race as many OF his we'll
wishers would have desired But his
American League debut was FAR from
being a failure along any lines.
Chance found a bunch of ball players
utterly inadequate and unfortunately
50 far spoiled in being allowed TO
play as they pleased that he could
not teach them his methods. Some of
these men were very good perform
ers under George StallinEs, who took
them as youngsters and taught them
the game. But in the interim Of the
Big Chiefs departure and the Peer
all they had known. The two best
Harry Wolter and Birdie Cree-never
responded from the accident that put
them out OF commission early in 1912.
CHANCE had to clean house and he
- started at the ground floor. He
realized that with the possible excep-
ception OF limited few batterymen
nobody on the club would ever
amount to much as measured by his
standards. The only one OF the erst-
while regulars who finished the sea-
son as such was Cree. Chance dug up
for himself an entirely new infield,
several good looking catchers and
few pitchers of promise.
He is satisfied that IL he gets fair
pitching next season the Yankees WIFI
win half their games. That would
surely place them among the first
four at least. Chance is very much
delighted with the late performance
OF Ray Caldwell, who could not get
going uCtil the season was practically
concluded. Marty McHale, from Jer-
sey City, seems TO pack the punch all
right. Al Schultz, the southpaw, has
had very good first year. With the
added experience there Is every rea-
son to look for him to blossom into
real star before the end OF 1914. Ray
Fisher, the hal dest working tosser In
the big ring, would have won the
great majority of his games had he
been associated with club of pre-
