and build a railroad from Dickinson
to the Milwaukee if they thought best
TO do SO.
The personnel of the company
carries with it a feeling of assurance
and confidence-assurance that there
Will be no crooked work and conf
dence that these men will be able TO
secure what they are going after and
what everybody has long wished for
-another railroad into Dickinson and
the addition of the business of a large

and north from Dickinson to connect
with the Great Northern and 500 rail
roads and such other extensions as

and the laws of the state.
The company has no stock for sale.
The plan is to build at once the
line to Mott, some 80 miles, connect
ing there with the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul and making, through
Mclaughlin and Aberdeen, a direct
route to the Twin Cities, thirty-ive
miles shorter than the present North
ern Pacific line.
Aberdeen, midway between Dickin-
son and the Twin Cities, is already
a large W~hOleSaling center and will no
doubt lend every aid possible to help
build the DickinsOn-Mott line, which
will enable her to enter this field in
competition with st. Paul and Mime
apOlis and Fargo. This will at once
give our buyers the advantage OF
competition among the wholesalers

The new company will at once pro-
coed to secure the right Of way, haV-
ing the benefit of the preliminary sur
vey to Mott made by the Dickinson
Commercial club, three years ago, and
found by a competent engineer to be
feasible.
There is no question but the people
along the proposed routes will meet
this class of men more than half way
and that Mott and ADerdeeN and the
towns north will eagerly 'Oip with
Dickinson to put the road in opera
ton.
Because Of the bogus work that has
been going on, the directors of the
Dakota Railroad company ask the
Press to say the C. f. Merry has moth
ing to do with this company and that
he will never be allowed to have any
connection with it..
Dickinson, connected with four
tr"anscontinental lines and easily &C
ccessible from all parts of this sectio
of the state, must become at Once the
W~holesaling center of all southwest
ern North Dakota.

TEACHERS OF AGRICULTURE
BETTER PAID.

1t pays to teach agriculture. Ar.
the United States Bureau OF tduca-
ton, the teacher Of agriculture in
the high school usually receives ii
considerably higher salary than Tn"
teacher of other subjects. The most
usual salary for male teachers in high
schools in the United States is 500,
but for teachers of agriculture in the
group studied. the most usual salary
was $1,000.
Lack of teachers" is the cXplana-
ton offered by the authors of the but
letin, G. II. Robinson and +. b. jerks,
to account for the relatively higher
remuneration for those who teach ag-
riculture. When the subject was first
introduced into the schools a short
summer course provided sufficient
training, but with the extension of the
work to include several years of care
full high school study under scientific
farming conditions, there has come Il
demand for trained agricultural teach
crS that has exhausted the supply.
Furthermore, many Of the states are
giving aid to local high schools for az
ricultural instruction., 50 that these
schools are able to pay better sal.
aries for teachers of agriculture than
for teachers of other branches.
Not only is it found that the aver
age pay Of special instructors in ag-
riculture is higher than of other teach
ers, but that teachers who are able
to give such instruction in addition
to regular work command better sal
aries than they otherwise would and
are more likely to be advanced to
principalships than if they did ne:
have the agriculture.
Better pay for teachers Of agricul
ture is only one of many indications
OF the remarkable growth in import.

FOUND CORPSE
IN A COW barn

Mckenzie Gazette: Some excite
ment was created in our village Wed
nesday evening about $50 when Sec
ton Foreman Lunner came up town
and demanded to get the sheriff on
the phone, declaring there was a dead
man in his barn. Investigation PROV
ed the truth of his assertion, the party
having died from the effects Of a deep
cash in his throat, evidently selt-ln-
flicted with a pocketknife which was
found n a pool of blood neal the body.
Sheriff Barnes was Immediately no.
titled and arrived here with Judge
Pierce as acting coroner. Search OF
the dead mans person revealed a dol
lar watch. a carpenters pencil, an
empty snuff box, a bill for some car
penters tools purchased from the BIS
marck Hardware Co., the business
card of a contractor and builder in
Bismarck and an empty purse. These
clews when followed up will no doubt
lead to the identification of the unfor-
ate party.
Nothing is known here about the
party except that he was a complete
stranger, dead broke and seemed
somewhat morose. He had wandered
into the Cottage hotel some time Tues
day night and when Landlord Leath-
ers awoke in the morning he found the
stranger searching in the kitchen, evil

Leathers directed him to the office and
later on served him breakfast which
he ate and then started to leave,
mumbling incoherently something
about Swanson paying for the meal.

Swanson" he directed the stranger
to the %woodpile and told him to get
busy. After a few ticks he declared
he was sick and was allowed to de-
Part. No one noticed him particularly
then until about supper time when he
was seen to enter the barn where MI.
Lunner discovered his dead body some
two hours later.
After the inquest, where a verdict
of death at his own hands was arrived
at, the body was encased in a rough
wooden box and taken to Bismarck to
await Identification.

COMMIS'R M'CURDY BE-
COMES NATURALIZED

No small surprise was sprung in the
court room Monday, when it was an
nounced that G. A. McCurdy, who has
been a member of the county court for
the past three years was seeking final
papers on his naturalization. The
general opinion prevailed that he was a
native of the United States. However,
the popular commissioner was born in
the province of Victoria, Canada. His
papers of intention were allowed in 1889
in Multnomah county. Mr.. McCurdy.
who owns one of the largest of the
West Side orchards, was for many
years locomotive engineer on the o.
r. & N. Company's line. He was on
the train that was stalled here during
the winter of the hard snow and to
which food had to be carried on sleds.
Carl Emil Swanson was also granted
papers of naturalization by Judge
Bradshaw Monday. MIR. Swanson who
is head sawyer for the Wind River
Lumber Co., at Cascade Locks. was
born in Sweden. The entire mill was
shut down for the day in order that the
might be made citizen of the United
States.
Others naturalized were: Ralph
Davies, native of England: c. A. Bell,
native of New Brunswick, Canada !;
Ashley Wilson, native of Manitoba,
Canada.
Mr.. Bell filed his intention in 1880.

/. H. Stone Taken on Embezzlement.

No small surprise was sprung last
Thursday, when Marshal Robert 7.
Lewis arrested j.. H Stone, who has
been here in the interest of company
selling installment tickets to the Pan
anna Exposition at San Francisco. The
arrest was made on request of W. P.
Lillis, special officer of the Oregon
Electric and United Railway Compa-
nies. The young man, who was for
mer student at o. A. c.. was charged
with an embezzlement of funds from
the United Railway, whose agent he
was at Helveston. He confessed the
embezzlement to the arresting officers
before he was taken to Hillsboro.
Friends of MIR. Stone. who it is said
will return to resume work at the
White Salmon saw mill, profess the
greatest astonishment at his arrest. 1t
is declared that ne was conducting a
business at Helveston. and the funds of
the United Railway, which are claimed
to have been embezzled. were put in
the business, which failed.
The auditor of the company knew OF
the appropriation of the funds, and
MIR. Stone was working in an effort to
pay the sums.
