COLD WAVE
NOT SERIOUS
1t Was Is Below at Dickinson.
Grain Teams Making usual
trips During the
Cold Days.

A cold wave swept over the Northwest
on Saturday night, increasing with in
tensity Sunday night when mercury
dropped to Is degrees below zero. 1t
was 20 below the previous night but on
Monday night it was better. the gov
eminent record indicating but 18 below
at the Dickinson experiment station.
The previous cold record for the winter
was degrees below on the 10th of De-
cember.
The cold was general but seemed
most severe in Canada where several
deaths were reported from parties who
had been unexpectedly caught out. At
Detroit the record was 81 degrees be-
low zero. The same temperature was
reported at Havre. Montana. while in
North Dakota, Devils Lake seems to be
the coldest spot in the state. the record
being % degrees below. 1t was 26 be-
low at Fargo and Moorhead.
1t did not seem so awfully cold in:this
part of the state where there is no
snow. In the Red River valley there
are several inches and as far
west as the Missouri river there is a
little snow. From Glendive west there
is more or less snow and the Rocky
mountain districts were blocked with
snow last week, delaying passenger
traffic on the railroads to quite an ex-
tent.
Farmers were hauling grain to mar
ket on Monday, several teams from 80
to As miles north arriving in Dickinson
during the day, and no one seemed to
experience any unusual hardship. The
roads are good and heavily loaded
teams were making the usual trips dur
ing the coldest days.
The mercury for Tuesday night record
ed at zero and for Wednesday night 10
degrees above. On Sunday the maxi
mum day temperature was ;.recs
above, Monday IA. Tuesday II, Wednes-
day 40 and Thursday about 20.

PRES. Il. A. BRIGHT DIES
FORMER RAnCHER NORTH

Threw BRICK At ATTY.
LEFT TAYLOR HURRIEDLY

Reporter: Our usually quiet little
village was considerably stirred up Sat-
urday evening over cowardly attempt
to do bodily injury to Attorney E. H.
Gunderson. He was seated in his Office
chair in the basement of the Farmers &.
Merchants State bank shortly after sup
per. when someone, evidently lying in
wait for good opportunity. threw
brick through the heavy plate glass
window al him. The window shade
was partly pulled down at the time and
this. no doubt, broke the force of blow
enough so that Mr.. Gunderson escaped
without injury. the brick glancing off
his shoulder.
The motive for the dastardly attempt
is mystery as Mr.. Gunderson has al
ways quietly attended to his business
and has never wiffully antaeonized
anybody.
Several parties were seen lurking
round the bank that evening and it is
thought that they were the assailants.
In fact. one of them had been heard
making several threats that afternoon.
This party was Tim Armstrong. A
party of business men went to Dickin-
son Sunday evening and put the facts
before States Attorney Murtha. War
rants for ArEstrong's arrest on two
charges were issued. but when the
officers came to look for their man, the
bird had fown-goOd evidence of his
guilt.
There are members of a certain
clique or gang in this community that
have got an idea they are able to come
to town and run things with high
hand, with no respect for law or order.
This combination is a menace to the
community and the quicker they are got
ten rid of, the better.

DICKINSON sADDlERY CO.
FITTING OUT this Week

This week the Sentinel Butte Saddlery
Co. has been busy invoicing and taking
over the John Rattan stock of harness
and saddles and will be ready for busi-
ness within day or two in the store
building in the St. Charles hotel an
mex. The stock will be greatly en-
lareed and it will be the aim of the
new management to carry at their Dick
inson house one of the largest saddlery
and harness stocks in the state.
F. W. Peterson. manager of the Sem
tinel Butte Saddlery Co., was in the
city for several days the past week as
sistine Matthias Blick. the new local
manager, with invoicing and getting
moved to the new quarters. Mr.. Blick
is an experienced man at the business
and had been with the parent firm at
Sentinel Butte for a month. He is
late of Milwaukee and brings his wife
and children to Dickinson, having rent
ed one Of the C. D. Litch houses on
West Willard street.
The Sentinel Butte Saddlery Co. has
substantial business men like A. L.
Martin and L. F. Crawford behind it
and is doing large manufacturing
business, having 10 men employed at
the present time. The firm is doing
business at five different places. name
ly: Sentinel Butte, where the goods are
manufactured, Dickinson. Belfeld.
Beach and Baker.
John Rattan, admittedly one of the
best saddle makers in the Northwest,
expects to take a position with the firm
at Sentinel Butte. At Dickinson MIR.
Rattan did not have the equipment for
carrying on the work as he wished.
Hence it is believed that the change
will be advantageous to all parties
concerned.

CITY COUNCIL Meeting
CONSIDER OUR ICE IMPURE

The first council meeting of the new
year was held Monday afternoon at the
city hall and several business matters
were before the aldermen for discus
sion. The bills for the month of De-
cember which were allowed amounted
to 81. $500 and according to the treas
urer's report the cash on hand at the
beginning of the year amounted to S21, :
973.21.
For the month of December the city
paid $344.46 for street lighting. This
is the first full month that the White
Way system has been in use and the
lighting expense is found to be consid-
erably higher than formerly, the old
system costing flat rate of S2O5 for a
certain number of arc lights while the
present system pays for the electricity
measured through a meter. The in
creased cost will not be regretted, It
is believed. by any tax payer. as the
White Way system is of great benefit
to the city in many ways.
The council instructed their lighting
committee to arrange for an arc light
on the corner of Fourth Ave. East and
Willard Street, east of the Walton &.
Davis buildings. The city engineer
also was instructed to ascertain the cost
of extending the sewer system in South
Dickinson and also the cost of putting
in the sewer and water main on Third
Ave. West between Seventh and Fourth
Streets North.
The council ordered that the board of
health must have published in the local
papers that ice cut below the RUSSELL
Miller Milling plant is contaminated
and unfit for general purposes. and also
to take this matter up with the mill
company as to making other arrange
ments for disposing of their refuse mat
ter which they are now dumping into
the river.
Hereafter the chief of police will
submit a written report to the city coun-
Gil each month. according to instruc-
tions of the council on Monday.

improvements in Plaquemines Parish.

WHILE the sugar industry doesn't seem to
have been sufficiently prosperous OF late IN
Plaouemines Parish, we are always gong aneao
with our great oyster industry and truck gar.
deninp. which create a perennial source Oh
revenue, but more or less variable in quantity.
We have been led to believe that one OF the
troubles ia truck gardening has been expecting
too much from Individual crops and concentrat-
ing so much upon them that losses have come
heavily and have been very discouraglng. II
five or six staple truck garden crops coulo De
selected and if average quantities OF eacn OF
these were planted each season then, taking all
the seasons, good and bad, wet and dry, hot ana
cold, plant disease or no plant disease we oe-
lieve that the experience OF the past Would snow
that such a course of truck gardening Would
average a profit. However, if we put all OF our
resources in one crop of lettuce and it fails, and
cucumbers do we'll and pay handsomely, then
we regret our excessive lettuce planting. On
the other hand, we had quite a rage tor cucum-
Der planting and they seem to have zone very
poorly indeed this year. Fortunately some OF
our orange planters are expecting 10 reallze
very handsome profits because OF the immense
losses that occurred in California from the ex-
ceprionally cold weather there and what was
said to be the practical humiliation OF their
orange crop for one season. We may say that
it is an i'll wind that blows no one good and GER
taainly an ill frost that would leave no one any
orange crop, but happily for us some OF our
orange planters at least will have very excellent
crops.
In connection with this truck gardening
business common report says that our highly
esteemed citizens, Mr.. John Meyer and his two
able sons in the LIST. ward, have done very well
in their business this season. We are not
aware Of just how their bank account is, but
still it had the reputation of being adequate to
cover all expenses. Fiji regard to the older OF

one of the most charming young women tnat

licences erected by Mr.. Meyers sons, the one
for Mr.. John Meyer now rapidly approaching
completion, and that of Mr.. Joseph Meyer
built about a year ago, and the ante bellum
plantation house occupied by the old folks give
Promised Land a very handsome appearance
from both the river and the railway. 1t always
excites favorable comment and is a standing
example of what industry and intelligence can
do on the Lower Coast outside OF the OLD staple
industries of cane and rice growing.
On the upper part Of Fanny plantation, now
belonging to Mr.. William Dymond, he has
erected a very fine residence and a Thoroughly
up to date dairy, complying in full with every
modern requirement for securing, caring Tor
and handling pure milk. He has a large herd
of dairy cows and has the reputation among the
milk inspectors and the chief officers OF the city
and state boards of health of having one OF the
comp]etest, if not the most complete, dairy out
fit in the state.
Further down the coast at Harlem plantation

ante bellum days, Mr.. Warren Buckley mas

quarters and introduced dredge boats and steam

Down at Pointe a la Hache the Movers Canal
is approaching completion and in it's broad ex-
panse of water it makes a splendid channel
from the landing at the Frisco Railway out to
the fishing bays in the rear, whose shallow
waters will give the thousands Of fishermen
from New Orleans a better opportunity to tell
good fish stories than they will ever have been
able to truthfully tell in the past. We believe
that no where near New Orleans can such fish
ing grounds be found as in the bays back Of
Pointe a la Hache and this canal makes then
very accessible and the now approaching com
i pletion cf the shell road will turn the TIDE O
