OHIO RIVER STILL RISES
Hundreds of Families Are Driven
From Homes by High
Waters.

PITTSBURGH. Pa, February 2.-The
Ohio river passed twenty-four feet, two
feet higher tEan the accepted flood
mark, at o'clock this morning, and
continued to rise at the rate Of six
inches an hour. Great blocks Of ice
were swept out of the Allegheny, and
reports from upstream points indi-
Gated that great deal of water was
Vet to come from that watershed.
The Monongahela river was sta
tionary. but flooded streams in north
ern West Virginia have only begun to
put out water, and it will not reach
here until night. Scores Of families in
the lower wards of the old city of Al
legheny were moving, many of them
beins' taken out Of their flooded houses
in police boats The warm rain con-
tinued, and there was much discomfort.
Railroad Station Isolated.
Flood waters of the Allegheny river
isolated the north side station and
tracks Of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
hour Exposition Park homo Of tho
club, was two feet under water. River
men estimated that several thousand
persons living in towns along the
flooded streams had already moved to
high ground. The weather bureau ex-
pressed the belief that the flood would
not pass twenty-eight feet, and the
crest would be reached tonight.

THE JAMES RIVER MA
TIONAL BANK.

In our campaign to support the con-
Germ whose relations with the people
as whole have always been fair and
just, we wish to call the attention of
our readers to the James River Ma
tional Bank of Jamestown, North Da
kota. This bank does business with
capital stock of 100000, and surplus
of $4,000, and undivided profits of
over $4,000, and it is accounted one of
the very strongest of the financial insti
tutions of the state, and one of the larg-
est and best outside of the Twin Cities
in the whole Northwest 1t has ever
been a powerful support to the indus
tries and commerce of this rich section
which it so ably serves. Its loans and
discounts aggregate the vast sum of over
1853, which, in itself speaks louder
than anything we might write. Well
known and highly honored in the COM
munity, its executive officers and staff
stand for business integrity. They have
for their slogan, "safe, courteous, ac-
commodating," and they live up to it
in all particulars. The officers of the
bank are. H. T. Graves, president; S.
F. Brown, vice-president; A. B. De-
1'sult, cashier; with directors, w. B. S.
,'rimble, Alison Wells, H. B. Allen, H.
T, Graves, A. B. Default, Ben Or
lady, E. P. Wells, Chas. F. Rathman
and S. F. Corwin. Our people will
make no mistake in giving their sup
port to this institution.

Jamestown has a population of close
to seven thousand inhabitants and was
incorporated as a city in 1884, and is
one of the oldest towns in North Da-
kota. 1t is the county seat of Stuts
man county, and a very prosperous
city, located on the James river, the
N. P. and Midland Continental rail-
ways, and lies in about the central
part of the state in one of the richest
valleys in the entire Northwest.
Jamestown is 344 miles from St. Paul,
and 90 miles west of Fargo.
1t is without question of doubt, one
of the best and most enterprising cities
of the state. With fine schools, church.
es, we'll paved streets, good water sup
ply, electric light and gas plant, public
library, fine residences and good hotels,
Jamestown is very desirable city in
which to make home. The stores are
up-to-date and carry large stocks of the
best in merchandise at prices as low as
in the large city stores. Jamestown has
good banking facilities, an academy, an
commercial club, flour, feed and planning
mills, and numerous other industries.
At Jamestown is also located the state
hospital for the insane.
1t is the shipping point for large
tributary section that is producing an
nually millions of bushels of grain, as
we'll as thousands of livestock, shipped
principally to the St. Paul market.
Land sells in the vicinity of James
town at from $40 to $40 an acre.
The Commercial Club will gladly an

and Stutsman county.

THE EDDY-PROCTOR
FURNITURE co.

In writing of the different firms of
Jamestown who are entitled to the
support of our people and readers,
special mention should be made of
the concern known as the Eddy-Proc-
ter Furniture Company, dealers in
furniture, rugs, carpets, sewing ma
chimes, trunks, suit cases, wall pa
per, and who are also licensed under
takers and embalmers. Many of the
finely appointed homes in Jamestown
were furnished by this company, and
their line in all the different depart
ments enumerated above is most
complete one.
Our people will find here the fin
est stock of furniture in the city,
which is sold at prices that are COM
mensurate with good business prln-
ciples. ,
They have been established for the
past ten years, and have built up
fine business. The undertaking and
embalming establishment is in charge
of experts who are licensed embalm-
ers, and in their endeavor to give
satisfactory service in their profess
sional work as funeral directors they
employ all modern methods, and have

RUSSELL-MlLLER MILL
ING co.
OF North Dakota.

AS early as 1875, when Jamestown
was a pioneer village in a sparsely
settled agricultural region, and when
the wheat growing there had but
barely passed the experimental stages,
the Russell-Miller Milling Company
organized and built mill of primi-
tive style and limited possibilities for
such quantity and quality of grist as
they could manufacture and sell. This
company, however, was a big factor
in the beginning of Jamestown's
growth, and the later development OF
it's industrial independence, and is
now all the more factor in its pres
ent status as a producer of all food
stuffs.
The Russell-Miller Milling Com
pany has ever been leader in its line
of production, and has ever been a
potent agency in building up the city
and spreading trade and fame abroad.
With a fine mill, it's modern equip
ment, and with all its requisite facil-
tiles, the company now manufactures
800 barrels daily, which are shipped
all over the country, with constantly
growing demand for it's brands, the
principal ones being The Belle and
Occidental.
The business here in Jamestown is
under the management of Mr.. J. c.
Danuser, who has been manager since
1896. The brands of this company
are too we'll known to elaborate on
the many good qualities they have,
suffice to say that there is none bet
ter manufactured, and none which
gives better satisfaction to our house
wives. We commend this firm and
it's products to the patronage of our
readers

CITIZENS NATIONAL

Established in 1905, the Citizens Ma
tional Bank, with capital of $4,000,
and a surplus and profits of $20,19285,
has been one of the city's most fore
most agencies in sustaining its COM
merce and industries, in encouraging
thrift and frugality, and withal, in af-
fording the city and country with addi-
tional banking facilities which has been
a great convenience and help. The Of
fcial organization of this bank is a
sufficient guarantee of its honesty, its
enterprising management, and its busl-
. ness integrity.
