WAR GOES ON
NEWS WITHHELD
WHEAT PRICES

So far as the world knows there
have been no important changes in
the European war the past week,
that is to say, no decisive battles
have been fought on land or sea.
However, the military censorship has
been the most rigorous known since
the invention of the telegraph. The
Germans seem to be withholding all
war news and what is published in
this country comes through English
sources. It must be admitted that
this is not the best way to get news
for the public. If both sides were
secured the American people would
be able to weigh the same and get
more reliable information of the
rapid momevent between the warning
countries. -s~gg' 1 "
At last reports the plucky Belgians
were still holding the forts at Liege,
thus greatly handicaping the Ger.
mans in their march into France. The
French are strongly fortified on the
border. It was stated during the
week that the Germans had entered
Liege in small numbers but that they
failed in getting control of the forts.
There are rumors Of victories for
the Germans, French and Russians at
different places, and it is likely that,
the countries are massing their arm
les for great land battles. A naval
engagement is expected at any time,
and in this conflict England is ex-
pected to win.. The land forces are
more evenly matched.
Late dispatches said the Russians
were driving. the Austrians in bat
tie on the border.
The price Of wheat was 91c on
Thursday and 92c for Friday. It
reached csc one day this week but
dropped back a little. Flour has been
retailing around $3.45 per cwt.
Sugar has advanced about Soc a day
this week and was selling Thursday
at $7.25 per cwt.

WANTS. CREAMERY ] AT TAYLOR [ }

e. Ia. Pierce, who has charge Of
creamery work under the direction Of
Commissioner Gilbreath, was in Dick
inson last Saturday on his way to
Taylor to talk with the farmers for
"a few hours. IT seems that some of
the Taylor people now realize the
worth of a creamery. .
While in the city Mr.. Pierce visited
the Lloyd RAIDER farm north Of the
city to investigate his pit silo work.
1t seems that the heavy rain three
weeks ago flooded the pit which Mr..
RAIDER had dug and caused the walls
to cave In addition to this the hail
cut the corn on this farm and it is
not certain that there will be much
in the fall for silage. ... .....,-. Z.
B Deputy Pierce states that a great
many silos are being constructed this
year and he stands ready to come out
and personally supervise construction
for, any of the farmers who call upon
him for such assistance.

KEEPS CHILDREN
CASE is SETTLED

For some years Mr.. and Mrs. liver
G. Lee from east Of Rainy Butte have
made good home for the Hillstead
children, aged about 8 and z years.
At least this is the opinion Of. the
people living at New England and
vicinity, all agreeing that the Lees
have one Of the most prosperous
looking farms in the Cannon Bal!
country. The children are also happy
and contented but the father, O.. A.
Hillstead, widower, seems to feel
otherwise, and if reports are correct
was making it unpleasant for Mr.. and
Mrs. Lee. =, .', ,%J
VIM. Blake, humane officer, was
called in last Saturday and the mat

land appeared for Mrs. Lee, who was
present. Finally a stipulation was
entered into whereby the children
are to remain in the peaceful posses
sion Of Mr.. and Mrs. Lee with VIM.
It seems that. Mr.. Blake had placed
the children with the Lees in the first
|place and he naturally felt interested
in the affair. y =
Mrs. Lee had become very much at
tached to the children and did not
want to give them up. From what

done. o.. .z..,

GR|SWOLDS ARE MOVING
TO sunny CALIFORNIA

Auditor w. F. Griswold came up
from Mott last Saturday in the Orr
auto. It had been a year since he
visited the city and he was quite
busy greeting his old friends and not
ing the changes about Dickinson.
Mrs. Griswold and children expect
ed to leave this week for San Diego,
California, the future home of the
family visiting en- route at Missoula,
where her sister, Mrs. Eva Dobson,
resides, and at Seattle where Mr..
Griswold's sister, Mrs. J. F.. Gaunt,
lives. Mrs. Mildred Dobson is sis
ter Of Mrs. Griswold and has resided
in California for number Of years
past. ~,
Mr.. and Mrs. H. F. Gibbs, among
the early colonists at New England,
now Of New York, have their plans
made to move to California, this sea-
son, so as to be near their daughters,
Mesdames Dobson and Griswold.
W. F.. Griswold came to Hettinger
county with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs
L. M. p. Griswold, from Edmunds
County, S. D., in 1888, since which
time he has been in business in the
Cannon Ball river country. For some
ySe%A . "AAAAS SA6eA6SA AL eAASF OWN
business his family was in Dickinson
part of the year for educational
advantages. When the settlers came
into Hettinger county and took the
land for farming, Mr.. Griswold sold
his stock. He held his land, however,
and some day will be able to realize
a good advance in price over the
original cost.
Four years ago Mr.. Griswold was
elected county auditor by a large ma
jority by the voters of Hettinger
county and two years ago he had no
opposition for reelection. He has
given splendid satisfaction as pub
lie official, and it is with much re-
gret that a large number Of our read
ers will learn that one Of the pioneer
families Of this country are leaving
for the Pacific coast. Mr.. Griswold's
term of office expires the first of
next January and by that time he
will have his affairs in Hettinger
county well closed.

SHOOTING FOR
BARKER MEDAL

The competition matches for the
Barker medal were held all over the
state Sunday, August 9th BY the diff
lferent militia companies. This medal
lis & handsome trophy given by Lieut..
C.sN. Barker Of this city to the
militiaman Of the state national guard
with the highest score made over
certain ranges that day. It is given
| to- stimulate shooting, especially
among the new men. One of the con-
lditions under which each contestant
shoots is that he has never qualified
las marksrnan ;or better pre-
tVious to the year in which he shoots
| for the medal. The medal will prob
| ably be presented to the winners dur
ling the camp at Sparta, which is held
from August 22nd to September LIST.
Eight members Of Company K, of
which Lieut.. Barker is a member,
turned out for the shoot. One Of the
Irequir Of the competition is
that each company must have five
Imen to compete. The detailed score
LOT the five high men are sent immedi-
ately following the shoot to the ad-
|jutant generals Office. The high
imam of the Company K shooting
squad was Private Layman, who had
Il aSscore of 194 out of a possible score
lof 225. -Four Of the men were evenly
matched and it was hard to tell which
tof the four was to win the first place.

STRINGENT ORDERS ISSUED
M|uT|AMEN MUST ATTEND

Capt. T.. A. Tollefson issued string
ent orders to all members Of Com
pany K this week. Heretofore as
many as could conveniently go to
camp were called upon to go. In past
years the captain has always been
extremely lenient but this year the
War Department. issued the order
that each compay must have SO en-
listed men and two officers. The ad-
jutant generals office in turn issued
the same order. This places Captain
Tollefson in position where he can
not do just as he may wish, hence no
leniency can be { shown to anyone.
Every man, both in and out of town,
has known that there was to be a
camp this year, and that it was to
be some time in August, SO the ord
ers will not be any great surprise.
Every member will receive his order
SO that further preparation can easily.
be made. There will be no excuse for.
any one. It is always understood
that each member is expected to at
tend camp. In past years most busi-
ness firms have made arrangements
so that the militiaman in their en-
ploy could attend without greatly in
conveniencing them, and the same
will undoubtedly be true this year.
tits rurnored that one or two MEM
bers will refuse to go to Sparta. It
means the starting of something.
Other companies have had men refuse
to attend certain camps and they
have always taken their men. It
makes lot Of useless trouble for the
captain, but the men generally pay
dearly before the game is up. Cap
tain Tollefson has never inconven-
fenced militiaman in the past and
all he will do this year will be to
carry out his orders. A court mar
tial has never r-been held on a Com
pany K man yet and no one has ever
lost his citizenship. But orders are
orders and they will have to be car
ried out to the letter this year. i

GEORGE STEERS WAS BUILDER
or THE AMERICA.

George steers was decided on as the
builder. He was a designer Of great
practical experience and had planned
tho frigate Niagara. In his early mod
els he had followed the cod head and
mackerel tair' shape, but later on COM
pletely revoutionized it, and in general
did much to advance the science o.
naval architecture.
while he was skilled in the ordi-
nary ship drafting and moulding prac-
tice," writes w. Z. stephens, in his
work on American Yachting" from
which some Of the present material has
been taken, the basis of his work was
the half-model cut in miniature from
the solid block of pine. From this
model the measurements Of the keel,
stem, counter and sections were taken
by him and the lines were laid down
full size on the floor of the mould loft,
the moulds for the timbers being made
from these lines. 1t was his custom.
we are told, not merely TO alter the
lines as they were laid down by himself
or under his personal direction, fillin

RELIANCE A BIG DEPARTURE
FROM ORTHODOX.

The most marked change in any Of
the American defenders was in the
Reliance, which successfully defended
the cup against the Shamrock Ill in
1903. The Reliance. like the present
Shamrock ", approached somewhat to
the type of racing scow that has been
used with much success on bodies of
fresh water. The Reliance had the
largest sail plan of all the yachts that
engaged in any Of the International
contests, amounting to no less than 49,
100 square feet, which was as much as
the combined areas OF the Mayfiower
and the Puritan. and also more than
twice as much as was carried In all the
sails OF the schooner America.
In building the Reliance Nat Her
reshoff approached the scow type, while
retaining practically the same water
line, breadth and draft as were given
TO the Columbia. the Defender and the
Constitution. The overhangs were I'M
usually long and the vessel had FIAT
floor. In the races with the Sham
