Red Trail Party

The big auto parties continue to
travel the Red Trail and daily
many Of these transcontinental tour
lists stop in Dickinson and chat with
our people about their trip.
Early in the week big Los Ange-
les car came along, the owner of
which was M. D. Russell, former
resident of Beach. Mr.. Russell lives
in Hollywood, not far from John
Mead, brother of C. C. Mead of Dick
inson. The California gentleman is
also well acquainted with H. ]. Whit
ley, an early day resident of this city.
He is taking his wife and daughter
to Oklahoma. In the party is Frank
T. Bulge and family of Miami, Fla:
These cars had travelled together all
the way from Los Angeles. In Mon
tana they picked up the w. Ed. Marsh
car bound for Cory, Pa, making the
third in the party. The Cory car
had been through the National Park
and points of interest in Wyoming
and Montana.
All of these parties spoke highly
of the Red Trail, saying, that with the
completion Of the Medora bridge, it
would be by far the best transconti-
mental route.
Will Cressy and wife and cousin
from Concord, N. H., reached Dick;n-
son from the west on Thursday. Mr.:
Cressy is special correspondent of
the New York Star and has travelled
in the Orient. For his present trip
he left home year ago, having spent
much time in California. He stated
that the Red Trail was the best of
all the transcontinental routes Of
course, he said, there are places need
ing more work, but with the Medora
bridge in he was sure that this would
be attended to.

INSECTS ON TREES

The following letter recently re-
ceived from c. B. Waldron of the
Agricultural College in reply to in
quiries about insects on trees will no
doubt be of interest locally:
The green flies which you speak of
as being present among your cotton
wood trees have no connection what
ever with the smaller insects that are
feeding upon the vegetation. This
gnat-like insect that you speak of
is one of the species of plant lice.
Practically all plants are liable to at
tack from one or more species OF this
very numerous family of insects. AS
they get their food by sucking the
juices of the plant rather than by
eating, you can readily see that it is
impossible to poison them with ordi-
nary means.
The only way to destroy them is by
some remedy that will kill by con-
tact. The best and cheapest material
for this purpose is kerosene emulsion.
The same formula given by the To-
cal station follows: Ed.
Shave one pound of common laun-
dry soap into one gallon of boiling
water and allow to dissolve. While
still hot stir in very vigorously 2
gallons of kerosene and mix thorough
ly until the whole forms a clabber
like mass, like sour milk. Now dilute
this with 10 gallons of water and use
spray on trees which are affected
with plant lice.

DID VERY LITTLE
DAMAGE IN STARK

The mercury at the Dickinson ex-
pertinent station recorded at 80 the
night of August "a, but the 2 degrees
of frost did very little damage ex-
cept to stuff in few gardens. Beans
were nipped in places and few fields
of corn were slightly frosted. Most
of the farmers who were in from the
country stated that the frost was
neutralized by the moisture on the
ground and did not show except in a
few places.
A report appeared in the Mandan
Daily Pioneer that Stark county suf-
fered severely from frost, but the re-
port was entirely erroneous.
If mercury does not get much be-
low the frost period until about the
10th of September, the usual time for
farmers to look for the first freeze,
corn and the late fields of flax should
be we'll out of danger.
A rain of a quarter of an inch was
recorded at the local government sta
ton Sunday morning. Farmers in
general were not caring to see rain
but it probably helped some late crops
and did not retard harvesting opera
tions very much.

SHAW AND LIST

w. A. Shaw, president of the First
National bank Of Scranton, and Rob-
ert List, cashier of the same institu-
tion, came over to Dickinson via New
England in their car last Saturday to
transact business and renew acquaint-
ances.
+ Mr.. List, who has represented his
district in the legislature for two
terms, has sister in Dickinson and
naturally comes this way often as
he can.
In early days Mr.. Shaw was one of
the big stockmen of the Cedar creek
country and he is still interested to
quite an extent in the growing of live
stock. He remarked to the publisher
of this paper that it. was the year
1891, when he commenced making
trips to Dickinson and in those days
the George Harkins ranch and the
little settlement at New England
were about the only places he could
stop on the entire route without
camping out. .s<,~s..
Mr. Shaw thinks that the crops are
a little heavier in Bowman county
than in the country this side, which
is saying good deal.

TELEPHONE MN HERE

L. D. Richardson of Fargo, general
manager of the North Dakota Inde-
pendent Telephone Co., and F. l..
Shuman Of Bismarck, district mana
ger, were in Dickinson on Friday and
Saturday, returning from an inspec-
tion trip out south. They were going
over construction matters with Mana
ger Hall of the local exchange.
The telephone company is rebuild
ing the line between Dickinson and
New England, putting in a new cop
per circuit, which, when completed,
will give our people greatly improved
service. A heavy copper wire has al
ready been strung between New
England and Mott, and as soon as
this end is finished, the public will
have no difficulty in talking with
people at the Hettinger county seat
and also at Hettinger, the county seat
town of Adams, which connects with
line due south of Mott. New cop
per circuits already connect Dickinson
with Belfeld and Killdeer.
AS has already been stated in these
columns, the telephone company is
expending large sums of money this
season in rebuilding and extending
their lines in the western part of
the state. The people are getting
the most up-to-date equipment in
the northwest.

HALL DRUG COMPANY
LOCAL men TO|IHALL|DAY

The Hall Drug Co. of Halliday is
being organized by Fred w. and Dan
w. Hall of Dickinson. These gentle
men are both registered pharmacists
who are holding responsible positions
in this city. Fred Hall has been with
the Benzie Drug Co. for little over
four years, while Dan Hall has been
with the T. J. Greene Co. for two
years. They will both remain with
their respective firms until about the
first of October when their new 2
story building will be ready for occu-
pancy. Their store will be "a by 40
feet, and the second floor will be fit
ted into living apartments which Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Hall will occupy, TAX
ing Dan in to room and board.
Halliday is very fortunate to get
two high class druggists like the Hall
brothers. to settle in their midst.
These gentlemen will put in a 5000
stock at first and increase their goods
as they find the place warrants. A
physician from the central eastern
part of the state is also locating at
Halliday and will arrange with Hall
Bros. to carry a well stocked pre-
scription case.

Mrs. Little Visits
Many Old Friends

Mrs. John Little and Miss Doris,
who returned to Gladstone on the
10Th from three months spent in
Montana, Washington, Oregon and
Idaho, report very pleasant trip.
They visited number of former
Stark county residents, including
George and Milton Hickman at Eu-
gene, Oregon. They are both with
their mother, and are engaged in the
fruit business. At Salem, Mrs. Little
and daughter visited the JOAN Riess-
beck family and Mrs. Brown. Mr..
Riessbeck, for so many years Stark
county official, is now engaged in the
abstract business, and the family
seem very contented on the coast.
They found R. L. Davidson, former
principal at Dickinson, engaged in
school work at Salem. In Tacoma
they found Mrs. w. P. Morris and
son, Lee Boyd. Rev. Baldwin, for
merly of Gladstone, has fruit farm
in the Opportunity Orchard district.
At Occur d'Alene, Idaho, our sojourn-
ers found F. F. Shaddock, the New
England stage line man in early days.
He is now merchant. J. T. Scott,
the newspaper man, is also located at
this summer resort just out of Spo-
kane. John Little, who had been
looking over his land at Billings,
Mont, met his family at Livingston,
where they visited at the C. E. Allen
home.

NORWEGIAN Gnu =
IN GORHAM COUNTRY

Last Sunday people in the Gorham
neighborhood were gathering from
far and near to witness the laying
of the corner stone at the new Nor
wegian Lutheran church short dis
tance from Gorham. Although there
was quite heavy rain in that vicin-
ity early Sunday morning, the wealth
er cleared up into a most ideal day
for the event.
There were both morning and after
noon services, conducted mostly in
the Norwegian language and shortly
before luncheon six infants received
baptism. The regular pastor, Rev.
Thorpe of Belfeld, was assisted by
Rev. Tn. Larsen of Taylor. During
the service the choir sang several
hymns very sweetly, suggesting much
conscientious practice.
The ladies of the congregation
served a sumptuous picnic dinner and
deserve great deal of credit for
their many appetizing dishes.
The new church is a good sized
frame building with plenty Of light
and will be finished inside later. The
congregation is very glad that the
structure is so near completion that
they may now hold services there, as
heretofore they have had no regular
place of worship, various homes in
the community having been used fol-
that purpose.

ILLINOIS STEEL BRIDGE co.
GETS CONTRACT. TOTAL
COST $4,000. WORK
STARTS AT ONCE.
FUNDS AVAILABLE.
Officers of National Parks Transcen-
tinental Highway Asso. Have
Great Reason to Feel Good
Over Result of Their Ef-
forts of Past Months.

At a meeting of the National Parks
Transcontinental Highway and the
Billings county commissioners, held
on Monday, August 23rd, at Medora
the contract was let for the building
of the bridge to cross the Little Mis-
souri, river just north of the railroad
bridge at that point.
There were nine bids submitted for
this bridge, the highest of which was
$18,500.00. The contract was award
ed to the Illinois Steel Bridge Com
pany, with headquarters in St. Paul
and represented by John Zelch. The
contract was let for Sis, 5,58O.OO, with
approaches and riprapping addition
al, making total of a little oyer
$17,OOO.0O.
The contractors work will be
pushed with all possible speed and
the necessary material should be on
the ground between the 1st and 18th
of September. Ninety days are al
lowed the contractors in which to
complete the structure, and the usual
penalty attaches on January 1, 1916.
Our automobilists will see by this
that by December 18th they may ex-
pect to cross the Little Missouri
river, not by fiat cars or fording, but
by new steel bridge that will be
the pride and delight of the state of
North Dakota, and to all tourists
passing this way.
By appointment, State Engineer
Bliss will have charge, as chairman,
Of the supervision of the bridge, as
sisted by County Engineer Hurdle Of
Dawson County, Mont, County Engi-
neer Veigel of Stark county, E. D.
Peck, chairman of the Billings county
commissioners, and Grant Call, of the
Goodrich-Call Lumber Co., of Bis
marck.: -
The finances for the Red Trail
bridge at Medora are coming along
nicely and the committee are much
pleased with what has been accom-
plished along this line. At the time
Of opening bids $14,579 in popular
cash pledges had been secured, about
$4,000 Of which was in the banks.
This, together with $4,000 from Bill
ings county and gravel delivered free
of charge by the Northern Pacific Ry.
Co., brings the total up to about the
amount of the contract. The collec-
tors will get the balance of the
pledges in as rapidly as possible and
have agreed to have $12,500 in the
banks on or before September 10,
about the time construction will actu-
ally commence.
The pledges of the different places
along the line of the Red Trail in
North Dakota and Montana are as
