American Trade with Russia.

That the present situation promises we'll
for closer relation between mauufac-
turers In the United States and the
Russian empire, 10 Indicated BY George
6: Taylor, president OF the American Ex-
prsss Co., In announcing the extension Of
the company's activities to that country
b. the appointment OF Edward r. Wales
Smith, for many years traffic agent for
the expxess company u Paris, France, ~
commercial agent At Petrograd.
Sour present step in this important
heid," said Mr.. Taylor, '.is taken after
full conference with the Hon. c. J..
Medzikhovsky, commercial attache Of
the imperial Russian embassy in the
United States. Our plans not only have
his cordial approval, but are distinctly
in harmony with his earnest desire to
stimulate the interchange OF trafIsc be-
tween the United States and Russia BY
improving the conditions under which
such transactions are handled.
ALREADY the undercurrents OF trade
point to new and we'll defined connections
between the commercial interests OF
Russia and our own country, and in view
OF the cordial feelings which have always
existed between the two governments, the
time seems expedient for progressive &C.
tion on our part.
TO further the mutual enterprises al
ready existing and to reinforce the sctivi-
ties OF our representatives at Petroer.d.
we are sending A. Z. spencer. OF our ex-
port freight department, to Russia, with
Instructions to visit Petrognd, Libau,
tags, Moscow, Archangei and other
Russian cities, for the purpose Of placsax
Russian importers in touch with Ameri-
can suppliers and to put in operation ar
ransements that win simplify the
methods now employed in shipping be-
tween the respective Countries

An interesting historical letter
from the pen of George Shafer, the
present states attorney of Mckenzie
county, appears in this issue. In
dealing with the early history of his
county, the writer mentions the
names of many people who were max
ing headquarters in Dickinson during
the eighties and early nineties, and
several are now permanent residents
of the city. Even Charles Shafer,
father of the young attorney, came to
Dickinson, a distance of 80 miles, for
some time after his settlement north,
to get his mail. It is noted that At
torney Shafer has the big cattle ship
ments of early days made at Belield.
In this he is mistaken, for the Long
X Cattle Co., like the other large out
fits, both north and south, drove their
herds to Dickinson, loading at the
Eland stockyards four miles west of
the city. For several years the
Turky Track Cattle Co. from the
Grand river in S. D., drove their
beef herds to Dickinson and loaded
for market. Mr.. Shafer is also in
error in saying that the Roosevelt
cabin from the Elk Horn ranch was
taken to the St. Louis exposition and
subsequently to the capitol grounds at
Bismarck. This log cabin, occupied
in the eighties by the ex-president,
was taken from the Chimney Butte
ranch seven miles south of Medora.
The other Roosevelt ranch, the Elk
Horn, was located IS miles north of
Medora.

4 SHUT OUT GAME
WAS PLAYED AGAINST
NEW ENGLAND AUG, 29

The Dickinson ball team played a
shut out game at New England on
Sunday, the score standing 2 to O in
favor of the Dickinson boys. It was
the last of a series of four games
and made three to the credit of. our
team.
It was a good game, although not
particularly exciting. There was
little betting, the outcome of the Dick
inson-New England game of the
week before having been a warning
to many people that you can never
tell how a ball game is coming out.
Leslie Wasem started the score for
Dickinson in the first. Two men were
down when he struck safe to first and
stole to second. Robinson was
walked; Ryan made first on one of
New England's errors. From this
time on no one got further than
third until the seventh, when Ryan
scored. Bond, the league hitter, came
near scoring for New England in the
eighth. Their players also filled the
bases in the last of the ninth.
1t seemed as though New England
did better fielding than did Dickinson.
Both pitchers did good work, striking
out four men each and walking one
man each.
VIM. Prindle of Gladstone umpired
New England.
There was a large delegation from
Dickinson, at least 20 to 80 cars, and
everything would have passed pleas
antly had it not been for a disgrace
full act of one of the fellows out
| south just at the close Of the game.
| Gardner ran down to list base to
touch out the third man and end the
inning. In doing so he hunted An
derson, the base runner, a much big
ger nan than himself. He figured
that if he did not do this Anderson
would knock the ball out of his hand
and prevent his putting him out. The
1st base line was full of men who
were paving the air, yelling and try
ing to rattle Gardner. One Of these
men jumped in and struck Gardner a
blow in the back of the neck, knock
ing him down and ~injuring him so
that he was carried from the diamond.
If Gardner were a bully or a smart
alec, it would not have been 30 much
wonder that some one should lay him
out at the close of a game with New
England the loser. But Gardner is
always gentlemanly and refined. He
works through the week.-Mrs. fall
with Senour & Langley, setting up
machinery-and goes out with the
boys on Sunday and plays for all he
is worth. There was certainly no call
or p~rovocation for any such rough
neck performance. .

cuttings for distribution to the land
owners of the state in 1916 shows
that there will be available 1,886,500.
These are furnished upon application,
free of cost, except transportation.
Applications will be accepted for these
as long as the supply lasts. There
will be available elm, ash, box elder

lineup was as follows:

This is what Martin Connolly said
of the game at Dickinson August %,
in his Slope County News last week:
"Felix Fly, the Indian pitcher of
the Lennon team was easily the star
of the game. He went to bat four
times and got a home run, two double
sack swats and a single. Up until
the ninth inning he pitched a wonder
full game. Only three men faced him
in each inning. Only two men reached
first base during this time and these
two went out when they tried to steal
second.
Fly's wonderful speed had the Dick
inson boys completely at his mercy
until he weakened in the ninth inning.
H. H. Bond of Amidon played Sec
ond base for the New Englanders and
had a three Dagger and a two base
hit to his credit besides playing a
perfect fielding game. M. j. Connolly
of Amidon caught the game for New
England. Borreson of Lennon: who
is the manager for the Indian pitcher,
played a good game at first" =
The other Connolly, John NJ, had
this to say in the Hettinger County
Herald:
"After allowing only three ME to
face Fly, the wonderful Indian pitch
err, in any of the eight innings and
letting but two reach first base,
Dickinson did a tremendous stroke
after two men struck out in the last
half of the ninth. Fly pitched a
phenomenal game right up to getting
the last man, when he weakened and
allowed five successive hits that gave
Dickinson the game. Besides strik-
ing out fourteen men, this big Indian
Fly made, in four times at bat, two
two-baggers, a home run and a single.
And then, to think of losing the game!
1t was awful. But cheer up. pickin-
son will play here next Sunday and
New England hopes to even things
up. 1t will certainly be a game worth
driving miles to see. Over twenty
auto loads went to Dickinson from
here last Sunday and it is expected
that more than that number will be
down from Dickinson for the game in
New England"
| Il Evidently Editor Connolly of the
Herald, expected the Indian over to
pitch for his ball team On August %

es. This looks very reasonable and
it looks as though something stronger
than the law of supply and demand
had gotten into the reckoning of
wheat prices this fall. Possibly when
the country learns more fully of the
true rust damage it will help some
to bring prices back a little nearer the
dollar mark.

central and eastern part of the state
which would mean that Dickinson

companies would be prevented from
shipping coal out of their local terri
tory. This would destroy all compe-
tition on state contracts, as the Will
ton mine would be the only M in a
position to successfully offer bids.
Last year one Dickinson company
shipped 112 cars of Ignite coal into
Fargo alone. The company has a
large investment and to destroy this
trade would be a serious matter.
However, President Stutsman of the
railroad commission has indicated his
desire to see justice done to all Sec
tons of the state and has set Satur-
day, September a, as the date for
hearing arguments on Ignite coal
rates. This will be a much better
way of adjusting the matter than TAX
ing the case into the courts again.
