Snow Fall
!. !. j.. Does Good
Fall Of Over Seven Inches ID
March is Nearly Normal.
Puts the Land in
Fine Condition.

The six or seven inches of snow which
has fallen the past week could not have
heen better timed for the farmers of
this part of the state. There was no
old snow on the ground and the frost
had already started enough to soften
the top of the ground little so that
the present fall will all soak into the
ground and help to. bring the remaining
frost out quickly and at the same time
provide all the moisture. that is. want
ed until after seeding. The ground
froze up very wet last fall and the pres
ent prospects for the farmer are the
best in many years. It is not likely
that work on the land will be begun
much before the first day of April and
that is considered early enough as a
rule. 1t is true that there was but lit
tie plowine done in the fall and it may
be that the acreage will be a little short
this year on account of the shortness of
time for both plowine and seeding, but
it is usuallythe rule that farmers try
to seed too much and if they do not
farm as extensively in 1913 1t may re-
suit in their making more money in
the end.
The snow fall of last Thursday was
followed by a few inches at different
times early in the week. or a total of a
fraction over six inches as recorded at
the Dickinson experiment station. Mer-
curry hovered near the zero mark at
times for two or three days, and it
seemed quite wintery. The sleighine
on Thursday was the best since the
October 2S storm. The total snow fall
for March SO far has been q little over 7
in. Or the equal Of ~ in. moisture
precipitation. Normal for March is 80
inches. The total precipitation from
Move nber 1st until March 10th. was
but IS inches. o. about is per cent nor
of NAL.
The farmers were very glad to see
the snow fall Of the past week. 1t
should put the srovnd in good shape.
Out north it seems that more snow
fell than at this place. It ID repoftsd

FRANK LlSh saw STARR
AND TALKED WITH BRYAN

Chairman Frank .Lish of the Stark
county democratic committee. returned
last Saturday from his trip to Washing
ton for the Inauguration of President
Woodrow Wilson. He stood the journey
we'll ana is looking much better than
when ne went away.
Mr.. Lish had attended three demo-
cratic national conventions out he had
never seen the doines at Washington
when president takes Office until this
year. 1t was great treat. the ceremo.
MES lasting from O'Clock p. m. until
time for the fashionable evening dinner
at the national capital. The Dickinson
man was fortunate in having good
seat fur the public exercises.
1t was MI. Lish's fortune to meet
Western Starr in Washington. Our
readers who were in the county in 1887
will remember Attorney Starr who was
subsequently resident of Chicago and
is now residing in Westover. Md.
Secretary w. j. Bryan remembered
his old Dickinson friend and was very
cordial in greeting Mr.. Lish.
A few side trips were made. Mr.. Lish
going to Richmond. Virginia. to see
Arthur A. Brundage, for many years
employed by the Bismarck Tribune.
Mr.. Brundage, it will be remembered,
founded the Headlight at Hettinger. a
publication that was later absorbed by
the Adams County Record. 1t was near
Richmond that the Dickinson man found
VIM. Jackson. formerly manager of the
Northwestern Ranchine Co. in Adams
county, and we'll known in Dickinson.
MI. Lish visited his wife's sister,
Mrs. Fray. in New York City, and on
his way home stopped over in Michigan
to see his father who will be "a years
old on the oath of May. The father
was i'll for some time the past winter
but is much better now. He visited
in Dickinson the last time five years
ado.

Edgar wead
Gets e. Years
Wm. Blake Rescues Five Girls a
Rhame Bowman County Of
fieers Help. Another
Case at Beach.

William Blake. juvenile officer for
the tenth judicial district came up
from Bowman and Rbame ON Thursday
with Eve children from the Mansan
family which he took into his custody
this week. States Attorney Tom Tor
kelson and Sheriff Barrett of Bowman
also brought Edgar Wead and Otto Han
son to Dickinson on Thursday and in
chambers before Judge Crawford the
Wead man was sentenced to IN years
in the state penitentiary for incest
with the l7-years' '-old Mangan girl.
Otto Hanson wanted to marry the 16-
years -old daug hter and they returned to
Rhame in the afternoon as husband and
wife. He is well-to-do young farmer
in that vicinity.
There is quite story connected with
Mr.. Blake's visit to the Milwaukee ter
1itory this week and with the Mangan
family whom he took into custody. It
seems that the mother. Mrs. Minnie
Mangan, whose husband died some
three years ago. and her five daugh-
tiers, ranging in ages from II 20 9
years old. have been maintaining dis
place near Rhame. William
and Edgar Wead, brothers of Mrs. Man
gan. were living with and had illegal
relations with these women. The juve-
nile officer was notified and with Sher-
if Barrett and the states attorney. he
was able to land all his victims easily,
while they were having dance at the
home on Monday evening. One Aug
ust Lex was also arrested at the same
time for blind piggine and was given
go days in Jail and $500 fine in a conrt
at Bowman on Wednesday. The Man
gan woman was also fined 500 in the
Bowman courts. x
Sheriff Barrett accompanied his pris-
oner to Bismarck and States Attorney
Toskelson- returned to Bowman on Thurs
day. taking with him the 12-year sold
Mangan girl whom he will place in a
good home at Reeder. Mr.. Blake will
find homes for the other three girls. the
older ones being willing and able to
work. ~
On Thursday evening Mr.. Blake went
to Beach to investigate similar affair
and later in the week he expected to 60
to New England where he has been ask
ed to take charge of the four children of
Edison Rifle. who have been deserted
by the parents, it is said.
While in Rhame and Bowman this
week Mr.. Blake found a home for A.
month sod Gloria Nelson: also for
Raymond Ooueherty, who have been de-
serted by their parents. He also has
two ''white slave" cases pending trial
in the eastern part of the state.
Mr.. Blake is certainly doing good
work in this paEt Of the state.
Wead gave his age to Judge Craw-
ford as 23 years. His parents reside
in Wisconsin and he has not been in
North Dakota very long. The Bowman
county sheriff was to take the prisoner
to Bismarck frem Dickinson on Friday.

The Creamery I!
Opens April lst
oiskinssa Plant il BETTER Shape Than
Ever b Make Coed Butter.
FA Market Price Paid
10 Farmers

On the first of April the Dickinson
Creamery Co. will reopen, and from
present indications the patronage will
be better than ever.
H G. Schultz. Il graduate Of a Wis
consin dairy school. with six or seven
years of practical experience. has been
secured as buttermaker. The man has
been employed by the Hess Creamery
Co: at Glen Ullin for two years and is
familiar with dairy conditions in this
part Of the state. He has a wife and
children and will be on hand the last
of the coming week to look after the
Dickinson creamery. H. H. Hubbard,
who was with the local company for
two years. is good buttermaker but he
has accepted a position with an Aber-
deem company handling creamery sup
pies and this suits him better.
The Dickinson Creamery Co. will
likely have so patrons on the start this
spring, with prospects of more a little
later in the season. Arrangements will
be made 10 take the cream from points
along the line of the railroad and on
the stage lines running into Dickinson.
The ere amefy has a first class ice
cream plant and the new buttermaker
Is also an experienced ice cream maker.
so that this end of the business will
have the very best of attention.
The Dickinson creamery butter has
always taken the top price. about so PIE.
cent of the product being used by the
merchants for their retail trade. A
small consignment of the butter was
shipped to New York City as an expert
ment last fall aud it sold readily at the
highest market price. During the win
ter months Manager G. H. Dickinson has
been shipping cream for the farmers
aud he is pleased to find that every
one of the old customers are glad to
learn that the ersamery is about ready
TO open again. Mr. Dickinson will
make practice of paying the farmers
for their cream every two weeks. Tests
will be made of every can of cream so
that the owner will be sure of getting
its true worth.
The creamery centralizers have been
systematically working to put the
creameries in this part of the state
out of business. At Hettineer and
many other towns ON the Milwaukee
they have succeeded. As soon as q
creamery plant 10 permanently closed
down the price for cream drops. Hence
it stands the farmers tributary to Dick
inson and every other good butter man
ufacturine plant, to arrange their dairy
cows 30 as to be able to supply cream
the year round. More COWS are wha
most farmers need. Improve the dairy
herd. raise hogs. cultivate less acres
and there will be greater degree of
prosperity for CUR settlers. Our business
men should all encourage the farmer to
increase his dairy herd. Every farmer
should have a silo. The state dairy
commissioners stands ready at all times
to supervise the construction of silos on
North Dakota farms

NIGH COST OF LIVING AND THE
 RAPID FIRING GUNS.

The connection between a modern automatic gun and the high cost of living is moro intimate than the or
 ainary reader might imagine. Thirty years ago. when the old-fashioned muxzle loader was in use. the siayers of small birds were not able to kill by the hundred; since that time con- stant Improvements in firearms have resulted in the wholesale slaughter of insect eating birds.
 For instance, a robin valued nt only e few cents for food Is worth s1oo during its life as a protector of crops. The migratory birds such as wood- peckers. orioles. kingbIrds. black birds, chickadees. larks. quail and scores of otier species arc now des- troyed wantoniy by millions when they so south to escape the northern winters.
 What this country needs and needs badly is a federal law to protect mi yratory birds. State laws aro inad- equate. for altogether in many states protective laws are in force. yet when he birds have the state there Is too often no restriction placed on their wholesale slaughter.

The number 0f people coming to
 Nome this month was just four more than the number that came In June. last year. The Nugget has men, tioned this fact before but 1t Is men, ti0ned again to direct the mind to- wards the meaning of it. It shows that only those came in who have had some place to go to work. Amongst all those who came there are evident very few new faces. They are oldtimers who have gone and come back and so give the lie to the statement that men get away from Alaska as quickly as possible. It Is in various parts of Alaska that the majority of the people are those who have been in the territory for years.

WHAT IS REALLY NEEDED TO
 CORRECT POLICE EVILS.

Magistrate McAdoo thinks that the solution of New York's police troubles lies in giving the police commissioner a ten-year term of oftice and making him irremovable except on such charges as would b. sustained by the appellate division of the supreme court.
 This suggestion ignores tho fact that this city has had police commits sioners who merited a ten-year jail term rather than ten-year office term.
 Extending his oficial life will not make good commissioner out of a bad one. nor will it make an incompe- tent man competent. Things are pretty bad just now. but 1t would not make them any better to give such n mayor as Gaynor lawful excuse for
