$614,762, or $195 increase. Personal
property assessed at $306,962; equal

The total assessment stands a.
$922,17 and when the railroad, elec-

DICKINSON WINS GAME
FROM MANDAN ON 10th

The following account of the ball
game at Mandan on Sunday, ap-
peared in the Daily Mandan Pioneer
on the 21st:
Featured by Gardner's speedy de-
livery, fast fielding of the Dickinson
ties, who three different times broke
up innings with double plays, and, to
say the least, the unfortunate hobbies
Of the Mandan infeld, the local team
yesterday dropped a fast game to
Dickinson by the shutout score of 3
to Q.
"Dorher's offerings kept the visi-
tors going but his support was very
poor.
"Things didn't break right for Man
dan. Nevertheless, Dickinson put up
a real game of ball.
"Mandan got just one man past
second base. Dickinson made one
earned run. In the first inning things
looked bad. Pippin led off with a
single, but he died on a felder's
choice play that gave Davis life at
first. He strolled around to third
while Dorf1er walked Robinson and
Leslie Wasem. Davis died at the
plate on Tobin's fast fielding of Nc
Cutchan's infeld hit. Morris Wasem
died on an easy assist Boyle to Rem
den.
"In the fifth inning Bishop got life
on Rockford's error. Gardner struck
out. Boyle booted Pippin' offering
and Davis singled. Arthur made a
fast throw in from the field and Bis
hop was out at home. Boyle's error
on Robinson's scratch hit through
second let Pippin score. Then came
a beautiful play. Leslie Wasem
struck out, Bull dropped the third
strike, recovered it and tossed it to
Renden, who dropped it. With the
strike out Davis on third strohed to-
wards home, running the bases
through force of habit. He crossed
the pan and scored on what should
have been a third out.
+, "In the seventh inning McCutchan
got one of those stray singles. He
.pillaged his way to third. Morris
Wasem laid one down along the third
base1ine and McC Cutchan stole home
while Bull was fielding it.
"In the fourth inning Rockford
singled and was sacrificed to second
and third by Boyle and Finnigan,
and passed peacefully away at third
station while Hugo Renden famed.

BIG WOOL MERCHANT
JAMES BATEMAN HERE

James Bateman, Of Bateman & Co.,
the large Philadelphia wool commits
sion house, was business visitor in
Dickinson on Monday, coming in from
Montana, where he has been taking
large consignments for his house the
past few weeks.
bright just now on account of the
war. In Montana wools have actually
been sold at Csc and 26c per pound
and many are holding out for 2Sc ard
30c. Others are taking liberal ad-
vance and consigning to reliable
house like Justice Bateman & Co.
James Bateman had not visited
Dickinson in great many years until
this week, and he was amazed at the
growth the city has made in recent
years. There was a tire when from
one to two million pounds of wool were
baled and shipped from Dickinson.
The smaller towns as far east as
Hebron and west as far as Sentinel
Butte shipped their wool in sacks to
Dickinson in order to get it baled and
thus enable the grower to take adj
vantage Of the lower freight rates
made on woods that were closely
packed. It was no uncommon sight
in those days to see string of Is or
20 wool teams waiting in the streets
to get their turn at the warehouse.
The wool buyers from Boston,
Chicago and Philadelphia used to
make headquarters in Dickinson every
year during June and July in order to
see the various crops of wool as they
were hauled into town and thus be
able to pick out the particular kind
desired for their houses. This also
made strong competition some seasons
for the choice clips.

MAY LOCATE
POTTERY PLANT

A newspaper writer at San Fran
cisco says:
The pottery exhibit in the North
Dakota building at the San Francisco
exposition has so interested a New
York lady of means, that when she
left the coast last week she headed
for North Dakota, and after investi-.
eating carefully the clay resources of
the state will establish pottery west
Of the Missouri river, probably near
Dickinson. In order to fit herself for
going into the pottery business she
will take a full course in ceramics at
the School of Mines at Crank Forks.
Thus one by one the undeveloped re-
sources Of the great state Of North
Dakota are being brought to the front
and utilized.

BELf|ELD SHUT OUT

Armentrout pitched no hit, no

Gladstone secured but 2 hits, Nal.

honors. Each pitcher walked 2 men
