that near the head Of the cities will be

mo more convincing. testimony to
the rapid growth of Billings county can
be offered than figures showing the in
crease Of acreage under crop during
the past three years. In 1907 the total
acreage was but 10.S49; in 1908 the
acreage increased to 24,259 and again
in 1909 to 52,537. Thus it will be noted
that for the past three years the acre
age Of each year has been double that
Of the year before. At this rate of
progression it will not be long before
Billings county is in the foremost rank
as an agricultural county, as, in years
now gone by, she led the state in stock

$500 bushels Of barley, 76,414 bushels
Of bax, 1913 bushels of rye, 1903 bushels
Of speltz, and 1897 bushels Of pota-

a fine showing for a county that but a
few years before possessed not a single
cultivated field.
1T must not be assumed, however,
that Billings county has abandoned her
stock interests. She has simply modi-
fed her methods in compliance with
the advance OF agricultural pursuits
and the consequent curtailment of the
free range country. Figures for 1909
show that there are within her boun-
diaries 1889 horses, 81 mules, 1885
cattle, 1896 hogs, 54,154 sheep, from
which latter were clipped 32S,174
pounds of wool, being an average of
more than six pounds per head and
considerably in xcess Of the state av-
erage.
"Of Billings county it. may be truly
said that she has awakened to the need
Of complying with modern conditions
and has adopted those methods which
will insure for her the greatest meas-
ure Of success in the years to come.

his mother. He remembers hearing
about the tortures which slaves suf-

in the slave ship. Among these may
have been relatives of his mother, he
does not know. Reports came to him
hat his father was a white man, llv-

of their truthfuiness he has no mean
of knowing. While a slave he had no
schooling whatever, but upon a few
occasions when he followed his young

name OF new Town

) Manning, N. D., April IA mass
meeting Of citizens in the Spring
Greek country met at John Bangs
ranch to discuss the townsite problem
en- the Spring Creek survey. There
has been considerable agitation on
this question for some time. as two
locations were being promoted, n on
sections 26-145-94, and the other On
sections ~25-146-94. After ON dig
cussion the matter was put to a vote
and the southeast quarter of section
Is was almost unanimously accepted.
With the location settled, COM
mittees were appointed for the pur-
pose of promoting business enter
prises, getting the postoffice moved
from Melby to the new town and for
the hauling of lumber. Building
operations will start as soon as lumber
is on the ground.
Before adjourning another vote was
cast to decide on a name for the new
ly created town. The vote was in
favor of Dunn Centre which is ap-
