Dunn CENTER TO Be
FINANCIAL STRONGHOLD

Manning. N. D., May 27.- Dunn
Center will be a financial stronghold
in this county is a few more banks are
established there. 1t is the present
terminus of the Northern Pacific eX-
tension from Mandan and Stanton and
is located almost in the center Of the
county. Should the railroad not ex-
tend beyond that point for some years
yet it is practically certain an effort
will be made to remove the county
seat from this place to the new town.
A charter has just been issued for a
third bank for Dunn Center. The
bank at Bailey is to be removed to
Dunn Center and two new ones are
to be established. Rival interests at
Dickinson are behind the two recent
ly organized. Dunn Center will be the
most important trading point in the
county with the arrival Of the road.

don's ~obstrcperous' artesian well Is
under control. Several months ago
the pipe burst and the we'll went on a

Zero w Gather
Gets SidetraCked

CHICAGO, Jan. s.-Snow storms
prevail through the eastern portions of
the Mississippi valley; farther west
the cold wave still holds fast: through
the northern range of the Rockies snow
mas blocked ns-cOntinental traffic:
in California unwonted cold has played
havoc with the fruit crops, and along
the northern part Of the Pacific coast
devastating foods are feared. Snow
fiurries in Chicago during the early
morning changed to a heavy fall later
in the day, with indications OF contin-
ulng.
The threatened zero weather did not
reach Chicago or the Lake Michigan
region today. The cold extended as far
east as central Iowa. In St. Louis it
was clear and cold. In southwestern
Texas the thermometer lowered around
zero. In Utah the cold continued in
tense. breaking all records for that re-
sion. In Colorado temperatures today
We're slightly higher and it was believed
the worst OF the cold snap was over.
In the northern ranges of the Rockies
and in the Cascades the SNOW has
blocked the Great Northern and Chi
cago, Milwaukee and Puget Sound
liness At the summit OF the Cascades
the snow is nineteen feet deep.
On the western slope OF the Cascades
