Upton Cables Exclamation,

A story appeared recently that Sir
Thomas Upton was building two boats
and would select the faster of the two
to race for the Americas cup.
Under the rules governing the cup
races Sir Thomas could only nominate
one boat, Shamrock ", to race even
If he built a dozen yachts.
In answer to a query Sir Thomas ca
bled:
Two boats are building, one for Panama
exposition at San Francisco, which will
race for the President Wilson cup; the
other, Shamrock ", which l have just
inspected, is all that need be sent to in
sure the cup paying an early visit to its
dear old home, where. Notwithstanding it's
long absence, it will receive a most hearty
welcome. Upton.

Hurt of Unkind Words,

Unkind words are sharper than
swords. If you cut your finger there
Is but temporary pain. If your heart
is hurt with sarcasm or brutal speech
the suffering continues as long as your
memory is working. Since We all
know the agony of injured feelings it
certainly behooves all of us to be
sparing with singing conversation
AS one grows wiser and older one
pays little heed to what others say.
Unkind things then apparently don't
have the power to hurt The older,
wiser ones just twirl their thumbs and
smile. 1t is great relief when one
gets to that point of perfect tranquil
lily.

Baseball Tour In 1915.


The sporting clubs in South Amer1-
can cities have already become inter
ested in the proposed invasion OF the
major league baseball clubs which has
been suggested for the fall of 1915.
Word has been received that the prof.
ect is expected to be a success ana
that the enthusiasm for baseball in
South America runs high Manager
McGraw says that it was the idea of
the promoters of the proposed trip to
end the tour on the Pacific coast before
the closing of the Panama exposition
in 1915.
The latest suggestion for the tour is
to have the two clubs, made up Of the
star players Of both leagues, play q
few exhibition games in the east and
south after the worlds series and then
go to Cuba. The itinerary would then
call for a brief visit to Panama and
from there to South America, playing
in the leading cities of the continent.
The plan is to travel down the east
side and come north on the west side
of South America.
Then a longer stay could be made at
Panama, playing in all the principal
places in the canal zone, where the nu-
merous Americans would welcome the
baseball teams.
From New York it is planned to go
to the Pacific coast and play in sew
eraI cities in California before the
close of the big fair. AS the trip is
now proposed the baseball party would
be sure to meet favorable weather
conditions throughout the trip.

To sum up, every one of these
practical granite men assure US. that
there is a very bright prospect in view
for our granite industry and that when
they are sure of getting year-around
supply of stone, they will materially
increase their output.
There seems to be no rivalry among
the different companies and one would
readily believe that these three COM
panies were consolidated so little
friction is noted.
Beside the three sheds, very
considerable amount of our Barton
granite is shipped direct from the
quarries, and we are furnishing several
sheds, in nearby towns, with a part of
their granite. 1t is perfectly we'll
understood by all our granite men,
that when we have overcome the
transportation difficulty, from quarry
to track, a great amount of stone can
be shipped west. and it is the inten-
ton of the quarry men to ultimately
have western representative.
We have avoided making any claim
that we have an immense granite
business here in Barton. as yet, but
we have tried to show that the actual
experimental stage was over and that
we certainly have business here that
is bound to increase. It has taken
other towns years to build up a good
granite business. and we expect that it
will take US some time to become
recognized. as one of the Vermont
granite towns, however. with only
FIVE years. we have certainly made a
remarkably good start, and we predict
that another five years will show a
very substantial increase, in sheds,
employees. transportation facilities,
and daily output

tatine the question Of doing something
to induce a railroad to build into that
territory. They have a good country
and are some twenty miles northSof Bel
field. If the Western Dakota Ry. Co.
should extend west Of Dunn Center. 1t
is presumed that Gorbam would be at
least ten or fifteen miles south Of the
road, or possibly about midway between
the main line and it's branch line north.
The Gorham people have thought that
Dickinson might lend them assistance
in some way and it is certain that our
people would beg lad to. but constructing
q real railroad is a big undertaking.
There are any number of paper lines
being constructed. and this city has had
pastmasters in this line of work. How
ever, this is not what Merchant L. @.
Havnvik and others of G0rhanl want.
They are sincere and want a real road,
n that will help to develop their sec
ton of the. country. This is the kind
of a railroad the substantial business
men of Dickinson would like to see
them get. but with a branch, line pro-
ject north of Gorham the chances of q
line in between at this time do not look
very encouraging. +

live daily paper. They did give the
town a most creditable publication for
the month they were in the daily bust
ness. but their efforts, if appreciated,
were not in a field large enough to
warrant the attempt.
There is no place where a newspaper
man can lose money faster than when
getting out a daily publication in q
town or city that does not warrant the
venture. Of all the twelve or fifteen
daily papers in North Dakota, not more
than three or four are paying expenses
or giving the publisher a decent living
today. People have talked a daily
paper for Dickinson and last fall some
people really thought it was the thing
and that outside parties were coming
in to show us how to do it. 1t devel-
oped that the promoters had no money
and were merely casting about to get in
touch with parties who had means at
their command and who were willing to
part with some of their credit and in
huence in return for experience.

1t was quite a surprise in banking
circles to learn last week that the Farm
.ers B. Merchants Bank Of Mandan had
been forced to close it's doors. The
bank, the third in Mandan, was started
about even years. ago. E. II. McEiugh;
a former W. H. Brown g. Co. agent, has
acted as cashier for some years and it
is openly stated that it is through his
Acknowledgement that securities have
shrunken. It appears tobe another case
of bank directors who had not been
directing. The board probably lett
things too much to- their cashier. A
number of. we'll known railroad men in
Dickinson who had stock in the Farm
res & Merchants bank became suspicious
some time since and disposed of their
holdings. It was stated last week by
the Mandan papers that Minneapolis
capitalists were expecting to take the
bank over and that it would likely be in
shape to open again within q few days.

HOW TO GET CROSSINGS

There are many interesting laws re-
garding railroads. and about which the
public knows little or nothing. The
following have been compiled by Secre-
tary Cushing of the railroad commits
sion for the PRESS and will be found
to be interesting reading:
Here is n Of the things that farmers,
particularly, ought to know. It is a
little law in this state. in relation to
crossings in cases where a farm is cut
in two by a railroad. BY noting that
the law is very particular that. legal
notice of a desire for such a crossing
must be made to a proper representative
of the railroad company, farmers want
ing a crossing will save themselves q
lot of delay and will, at the same time,
be in a position to recover from the
company SIS for every 30 days after
legal notice has been filed. Written.
not verbal, application must be made to
an officer OF the company, preferably
the agent at the nearest station, who
has blanks Tor the purpose, stating just
where the crossing is wanted, and the
crossing must be built within 80 days
after such request in writing has been
made, except in the winter time, when
the railroad company is not compelled
to do any outdoor ground work between
the first day OF December and the FIRST
day OF April, and the company is liable
to the same damages for not keeping
the crossing and cattle guards in good
repair. If it should happen that the
request for a private crossing goes I'm.
needed an application to the state
board of railroad commissioners will
bring early results. .

BEACH DAILY SUSPENDS PUB
LEGATION. =.

The Daily Beach Progress suspended
publication last week. This had been
generally expected by experienced news
paper publishers. as they were unable to
figure out the needed support for daily
at the Golden Valley metropolis. The
Daily Progress was launched about a
month ago as a morning paper. and on
the End of March it was changed to. an
evening paper and after a weeks strug-
gle for existence, the owners decided
that it was wise to suspend the daily.
The weekly edition will be published as
in the past and it is likely that the
time for which people had paid on the
daily will be extended on the weekly.
