HEAVY LAND SALE
TOTALS $6o,0OO.OO
A. H. ARNETT SELLS LAND AND
CATTLE ON SPRING CREEK
TO WILCOX AND RICH
ARDS.
Includes 2,64O Acres of Former Da-
kOta Land and Cattle Co. Prop
erty. Big Dam Irrigates
800 Acres.

Big land deals are not unusual in
Dickinson but perhaps one of the
most important ever made here was
consummated this week, when Wilcox
and Richards purchased A. H. Ar
nett's interests on Spring Creek, in
cluding 2,640 acres of land, buildings,
10 cattle, calves and 13 horses.
This ranch is situated three miles
west of Nlldeer and is very choice
property. The Dakota Land and Cat
tie Co., Of which A. N. Jefferies, now
deceased, was a member, were former
owners and MIR. Arnett took it over
in 1909. A desire to concentrate his
interests around his present home in
Wyoming led MIR. Arnett to make the
sale and while not anxious to add to
their holdings, the purchasers felt
that at 100000 they get a good deal
and that the proposition will prove
a success financially.
A big dam conserves the water of
Spring Creek and an irrigation ditch
makes it possible to flood 800 acres.
Three hundred acres are in crop this
year and there are fifty acres in al
falfa.
The new owners expect to put the
cattle on the reservation with their
former holdings and may dispose of
a part of this hand as opportunity
offers.
This sale practically closes out Mr..
Arnett's interests in this section.

STARTING NEW BANKS
At DICKINSON AND OLLIE

The first of the week it was an.
nounced that the German-Bohemian
State Bank of Dickinson was being
organized, with Frank Lish, Peter
Brown and Dominick Vranna as in
corporators. The fourth bank fol
this city is to be capitalized at $780,
900, and, as the names of the incor-
porators indicate, will have some OF
our strong men behind it. These
men have both the money and ac-
quaintance needed to make a sue
cess of such an institution.
Postmaster Lish stated on Tuesday
that little later he would give full
particulars Of the new bank.
Cashier J. M. Noes of the Mer-
chants State Bank at Taylor was in
Ollie, Montana, the first of the week
making final arrangements for a
$4,000 bank which his people are
opening in the new town on the south
N. P. branch out Of Beach. Attorney
H. J. Blanchard was along as legal
advisor and went to Helena, Montana
to procure the, necessary charter.
Banker H. R. Lyon is also extend
ing his chain of banks to Ollie and
was out the first of the week making
final arrangements.

IMMIGRATION BILL NOT
REFERRED, SAYS L|NDE

It is the official opinion Of Attor-
ney General Linde that the immigra-
ton bill is not referred to the people
and therefore that the provisions of
the bill are non-operative.
At the request of the governor for
an opinion as to the status of the
appropriations for immigration and
the effect of the attempted suspen-
sion of senate bill number 1874, Great
ing a board of immigration, the at
torney general made an investigation
and says in part:
'It appears that in counting the
signatures on the referendum peti-
tions relating to this particular bill
the secretary of state added together
the names appearing upon two sepa-
rate and wholly distinct petitions, to-
wit, one which seeks to refer the
whole bill, the other which seeks to
refer solely the section of the bill ap-
propriating money. ,..
TN my opinion this is wholly i'm
proper and as the total number OF
signatures attached to each separate
petition is insufficient to make up the
percentage required by the constitu.
ton, am of the opinion that the at
tempt to refer senate bill 1914 failed
and that said act is now in full force
and effect."5 .e.-. ...5.. d..
The bill in question carries an ap.
preparation of $4,000 for 1915 and
$4,000 for 1916 for immigration pur-
poses and it is understood that fol.
lowing the opinion of the attorney
general the board will organize and
start work. -.

SCHOOL CENSUS INCREASES
OFFICERS WERE ELECTED

On Wednesday all of the school
census reports of Stark county were
in the hands of Supt. C.. E. Ward
with the exception of Newport, Grand
Meadow and South Heart. Dickinson
school district has 1907, or an in
crease of 60 over the 1914 count. The
total for the county in 1914 was A.
375, and Supt. Ward is sure that the
number will be at least 4,500 this
year. .....-...-...... ..,...-.-.. .,.....
Just now the annual reports from
the clerks and treasurers are coming
in and Mr.. Ward has his hands full.
He states that the first reports were
in this year from Garden district,
Dominick Lefor, clerk, and John
Schneider, treasurer. >.~ ,
"A financial gain that is worthy of
special mention comes from Stolz dis
trict. C. C. Steier is, treasurer of

COUNTY CENSUS
GOOD INCREASE
TOTAL RETURNS FOR STARK
SHOW 14,134, AN INCREASE
OF 1880 OVER GOVERN
MENT CENSUS OF
YEAR 1910.
Changes in Boundaries Account for
Some Differences in Population.
Gains Nearly Everywhere.

The 1915 census, taken by the state,
has been completed and returns are
coming in rapidly now. The govern
ment census is taken every ten years,
on the even los, and the state CEN
sus is half way between on the SIS,
so that the population status is cor
rectly shown every five years.
The census returns for Stark coun-
ty show good increase in the main
and in some cases where there is an
apparent error between the returns
of 1910 and 1915, it is explained by
a change of boundaries. The census
this year has been taken carefully,
the requirements being very exacting,
and is probably the most accurate
ever taken IN Stark county.
In 1910, the returns showed Dick
inson 3,678; Gladstone 220; Taylor
400; Richardton CAT; Antelope 20;
Belfield 400; South Heart 80; and
Stark county 12,504.
The present census gives the coun-
ty 14,134, or an increase of 1880 in
five years.
The delayed 1915 returns for the
county follow:
