The pastor of the Esmond Lutheran
church is president of the association,
and P. B. Rognlie is secretary. The
agency will seek the cooperation of
the commissioner of agriculture and

cooperation Of pastors in older and
more congested communities is ex-

This vicinity will support much
larger population, and the price of
lands are below real values. More
farmers are wanted to develop the

WESTERN SECTION OF STATE

TON AND WEALTH..
FIFTY NEW BANKS SINCE 1918
With Only Five Banks in 1903, District
Now Has 14s Institutions With
Estimated Total Resource.
Of Over $4,000, 600.

Mandan.-That western North Da-
kota, comprising the twelve counties
known as the Missouri slope has in
creased greatly in population, value
and in financial affairs is shown by a
circulation just issued by the First
National bank Of the city.
In 1893 there were three banks in
the district, the First National bank
of Mandan. the State Bank of Morton
county, Mandan, and the First Ma
tional bank of Dickinson. They had
combined resources of $571, 49O.73.
Ten years later in 1903 there
we're five banks in the district. The
new ones together with the growth
of the older established institutions
then had resources Of s1,27S, 65634.
Then ten years later in 1913 there
we're ninety-eight banks in the Slope
district, which had total resources of
S14,O8S,30 This was an increase
over 1908 of $12.238,15S.71.
Since 1918 there have been so more
banks opened which taking the aver.
age of the resources of the ninety
eight banks in that year, would make
total Of 1S7,905.50. The total re-
sources of the banks of the twelve
counties of the west Missouri slope in
North Dakota would be 319,276,21O.35.
The increase therefore in the TWEEN.
ty-two years since 1893 in the COM
bined bank resources is as near as
can be determined $18,704,729.62.

less than $4,000. The officers of the

issue 200 shares of stock at par val.

to dispose of in the city of Williston.
The association which represents

south across from the new Ely build

and it is proposed to erect the new
structure on this site. For the l,ur-

is organized, that of military training,
the state stands ready to advance at
least $4,000 in cash and it is hoped
that a loan of an additional $4,000
can be secured from this source. This
amount with the amount subscribed
in Williston would provide for a $685.

Mayor and Council Disagree.

Beach.-Differences between the
mayor and the members of the coun-
Gil have caused deadlock over the
appointment of officials. To bring re-
lief a bill will be introduced in the
legislature to provide that when a
city council has twice rejected an.
pointees for any municipal Office, the
council can then make and confirm
its own appointees. The appointees
OF Mayor Brinton have not been in
dorsed by majority of the council.
Harmony is now the keynote in
Beach. The first step to this end has
been taken in the consolidation of the
two commercial clubs. They were con-
Quoted by opposing factions, and
sometimes worthy movements started
by one were opposed by the other.
The members have agreed upon a re.
organization and it is expected there
will be united effort in all move
ments to advance the interests of

A story is going the rounds in
Washington about Secretary Of the
Navy Daniels which may or may not
reflect credit on that official, accord
ing to the point of view. According
to this story the secretary was one
morning comforting with an officer
and in the middle of his conference
interrupted the proceedings to say:
This is the second morning that
have smelled whisky on your breath,
sir!"
To which the officer is said to have
replied: Il beg your pardon, Mr.. Sec

There are a few Americans playing in

were actors.
When we benevolently exempt the for.
eign artist from tax on his income we
simply add 10 his superior advantages
over our own citizens. This is putting q
premium on expatriation. The American.
born artist, say OF the Metropolitan Opera

as citizen Of foreign country. That

In view Of the fact that so many OF the

this year, while only $4,000 has

This is the tenth anniversary OF

over $4,000 worth of charity
work has been done, not one-fourth
of which has been contributed, the
hospital has paid it out of its earn
