Roosevelt, de Mores, S. N. and J.
A. Ferris and FoIeys Among
Those Who Figured in
Early History.

In recent issue Of the Bismarck
Tribune appeared the following article
from the pen Of Col. J. W. Foley of
Medora
Did you ever think that in the SETTLE
ment of new country how few of the
pioneers remain? In looking over the
list of names OF the pioneers of Billings
county today how few we find that were
here rs and 80 years ago. The owners
Of the large ranches of the early days
have long since departed. Mr.. Roose-
welt sold out his ranching business in
1898. don't know where he is TO-
day; it's doubtful if there are bakers
dozen persons in the United States who
know that he ever ranched in the Little
Missouri valley. It's true the railway
company has large sign on the west
end Of the bridge which crosses the
river, telling that he did once ranch
in this valley" Only for this, no one
would know. Mr.. Roosevelt was modest.
very modest. He was as meek as
Moses. Roosevelt came to the valley
in the fall of 1888. de Mores came in
April, 1883. He was then a young man
of rs and on his way to Motanna to en-
gage in the Tanchine busines. There
was no town Of Medora then; the town
was on the west side and called '.Pyra-
mid Park or Little Missouri. "
When deMores arrived he met Com
mander Corning of the navy, of whom
more will be written. Poor deMores
met his death in an African oasis
called Ell Onadin, and at the hands of
tribe Of Touafegs. This was in 1896.
In letter to the writer from his
father r-in-law these words are used:
'.Thus ends life full of charm and
magnetism. It was full and to over
flowing. - : - =. ,s(
What an interesting number Of people
have been in Medora and Billings

GUN TOURNAMENT TN
DICKINSON ON july 1911

The application from the Dickinson
Gun Club to hold Registered Tourna-
ment on July 10th and 18th, has been
approved by the Interstate association.
In addition to the acceptance of the
application the association made it
known to the club that they would give
a cash purse of $50 together with three
trophies. The club adds $225 in purses,
thus making it certainty that the
tournament here will be one of the very
best in the state. Coming at about the
same time as other slope tournaments,
will certainly aid in drawing The best
shots in this part of the country.
The tournaments in the slope distri ct
have the following dates:
Bismarck, July 4th and 5th.
Mandan, July 7th and 9Th.
Dickinson, July 10th and 18th.
Beach, July 18th and 14th.
The officers of the Dickinson club for
the year are: Geo. E. Ryder, president
DR.. E. J.. Hauser. secretary and field
captain; Frank j. Ray, treasurer: j.
W. Sturgeon. manager of tournament.
The club has ordered a new trap, The
Ideal Leggette. This is merely an ad-
dition, making two for the club. 1t will
enable them to easily handle tourna-
ment of 100 shooters.
Several members of the Gun club
were out Sunday afternoon to open the
season. Some good scores were made,
considering the time of the year. The
following shows who took part and what

were greatly grieved on Monday when

Apparently Mr.. Dehlinger was feeling

planning on taking a trip back to New.
Yorksin April to visit Mr. Dehlinger's
mother and an only brother. :,
Il was some time last July that Mr.,
Dehlinger noticed that he had little
lump about as big as q pea on his left

to amount to anything and he paid
little attention to itsat the time and

KEEP up LOCAL CREAMERY
what HAPPENED AT LAAaoURE

In the last issue of the La Moure
County Chronicle one Of their readers
writes in regard to the shutting down
OF the creamery. In part he said: !:
Had every farmer contributary to
La Moure been loyal we could have
manufactured twice or three times more
pounds of butter than we did at practi-
gcally the same expense. Then we could
have paid price which would have
made the centralizers sit up and take
notice. =:
when the La Moure creamery was in
operation the centralizers paid New
York extras. and most of the time two
cents and three cents above the market
quotations. But now with New York
Rqu0tations at 31K cents and 81 cents for
extra their buyers in La More pay only
E26 cents and ~ cents and to direct
shippers they pay from 80 cents and
3i cents but If the local creamery were
A saklaaaine they would pay 80 cents and
34>cents; 1t takes the local creamesy:to
make the price,
The above shows what happened at
La Moure. In Bellows Falls, Mime
sofa, the centralizers came in and
tried to shut down the creameries.
Here is one place where the farmers
stuck to the local creamery. What was
the result? The creamery put out
enough butter to enable them to pay
two cents and three cents above the
market quotations and above the CEN
tralizers.. If the farmers had quit the
creamery as they did at La Moure the
creamery would no doubt have been
closed and the centrailzers would have
Immediately dropped the price,
Many Of our farmers are not sending
in their cream but are shipping it out
for! q cent or two more per pound. II
every farmer would sell his cream at
the creamery here the creamery would
be able to turn out at least three times
as many pounds of butter each week
without greatly affecting the expense.
The creamery now is only churnint
twice each week when it should churr
every day. Lack of cream is the reason.
The facilities and apparatus are here

product, the cream. is being shippe.
out. There is no question that tn,
creamery would pay at least three cent
above the present price if it 5 conld tllr1
out 500 pounds each day instead of sol
pounds each week. If the same thing
happens TO the creamery here that die

cream will experience the same as th'

here that makes the price. both for wha

COMMISSIONER ACTION. ,uP'
IN MANNING ON MARCH ii

March 14th, is the day set for Judge
w. C. Crawford to 90 to Manning to FIX
upon date for the hearing in the ac-
ii on brought against the board Of com-
missioners, that is, providing the; court
believes there is enough in the CHARGES
to warrant an investi CATION. .st3,s
The hearing must come within 80 days
from the, time the order was signed,
hence the merits Of the action should be
known. about the last Of March. AS
previously stated, the defense can have
q jury trial if desired. S. .:s3.s ss 5;s I
States Attorney w. A. earns and
Senator L. A. Simpson. as special coun-
sci, will prosecute, while Attorney ALI.
o. Nelson, o. u. Jolley. Casey & Bur.
geson will defend. Ell t;5 45.ss sS.s.: :i..$s
The probabilities are that the streets
of Manning will be we'll filled on Satur-
day by 2 o clock in the afternoon when
the case comes before the court. IS s;5t y.
The Dunn County Settler says that IL
the charges are true the commissioners
should resign, but if they are untrue
then beware. ..s isasS sSsas
On top of this matter comes the ac-.
countant's report which is said to show
the treasurer short in his accounts to
the amount Of about $740. and the audi
tor is said to have failed to turn over to
the county $3.50 nfees. Whether or not
these fees come under some of thesdis-
puted provisions of the law. the PRESS
is not advised. Now that the Dunn
county people have, started the hall. II
is probable that many things will be.
up for investigation, and it is more
than likely that some of them will not
prove to be very serious when the. facts:
are known. ss.Ss Sci.
Commissioner Paul liner, who sWassin
Dickinson this week, said that he had
nothing to say, further than that he:
was willing TO have the court inyesti--;s
GATE any Of the acts of the board. In
cidentally he remarked that the members
Of the hoard were blamed if they did OF
did not do things. Some one was sure
to be dissatisfied either way. s;.sss
The board has received the insurance
money and are now asking sfor bids for
the construction of 4 new court house sHtl
Manning. They do not contemplate
anything expensive at the present time,
but it is absolutely necessary to con-
struct some kind of a: building to meet
immediate demands.
People in the northern and eastern
part Of the county are agitating county
seat removal. Election is also coming
on and hot time is expected. -.

TURKEYS TAKE A DROP.
People Who Waited Until Today to
Buv Get the Benefit.

Those who waited until this morning
to buy their Thanksgiving turkeys were
able to purchase the festive bird at
anywhere from to s cents pound
cheaper than they could have done yes
terday To use the expression of one
retail dealer who was caught with a
big supply of turkeys on hand and
who, this morning. was making every
effort to sell them: THE market has
gone to the mischief
The break in the price came yester-
day afternoon, and it is asserted that
the drop is not due to an excessive
supply of turkeys. but to the fact that
the people were not buying them. and
turkeys which last Thanksgiving would
have been bought up eagerly at Is
cents a pound would not sell yesterday
at from to cents a pound cheaper.
It is stated Washington was not the
only city in which turkey prices
slumped In New York. which is al
ways a high market, they dropped SO
fast yesterday as to give the dealers
a dizzy feeling. A walk this morning
along B street between 9th and 10th
street and through the markets showed
that both wholesalers and retailers
had good supplies left on their hands
and the B street retailers were Offering
Turkeys from Is to % cents pound.
The former price was for thin bird.
but for IS or 20 cents good turkeys
could be had.

Uncle Sam Sends
His Soldiers and Sailors
To the Hot Springs Of Arkansas, for the Relief and Cure
Of Rheumatism and Bod nisorders
(See List Below

The great Army and Navy Hospital located
here, reports ninety per cent of Its patients
as being returned to duty. This is fair
indication of the certainty of cure or relief
that sufferers may expect.
Many years ago, when Thomas Jefferson
ened to the fact that the Hot Springs Of
Arkansas was the most valuable asset in
America for the curing of human ailments.
So all Of these springs were set aside and
became park reserve, under the direct
control and supervision of the government.
1t is beyond comprehension the thousands
upon thousands Of lives that have since been
saved through the healing powers of these
springs.
Tue waters are So charged with radium-
known technically -as radio oactivity-that
they accomplish results in the cure of dis
case that would under other treatment be
considered impossible.
The ailments that most readily yield TO
these baths are Rheumatism. Gout. Neu-
ralgis. Malaria. Locomotor AtaXia (earlter
stages). Bright's Disease when not too far
advanced. Liver and Bladder troubles. Ca
troubles peculiar TO women and other troubles
of nature kindred to- those above men
toned.
Regarding these springs as Americas S
greatest gift to the sick. the government
has never allowed them TO be exploited for
private gain. The prices charged for the
baths are strictly reguIated-hote1 charges
are extremely low-and every consideration
is afforded the visitor.
