J. E. Berg
Passed Away

Two old time Golden Valley
boosters passed away recently
much to the sorrow of many Col
den Valley people. On March
Is at Madison, Wis, ]. E. Berg,
general agent for the Stondall
land company, died as result of
heart trouble and other compli-
cations. MIR. Berg for the past
ten years had been an active Col
den Valley booster. making an
nual trips here and at times re-
naming for weeks at Beach. He
was at Beach during the past
winter and his sudden death
comes as a surprise to Golden
Valley people. He was 45 years
old, was born in and made Chi
cago his home since his birth. He
leaves wife, father, two sisters
and a brother. Another old
time Golden Valley booster who
passed away recently was fance
Murphy. According to the Wi
baux paper he died at Mildred,
Mont, where he lived with his
family. In the earlier days MIR.
Murphy made many trips from
Sioux Falls, S. Dak.. to the Col
den Valley, bringing settlers. The
writer remembers statements
made then by Mr.. Murphy, when
land was selling for around $40
that it would bring $35 per acre
in few years. And whether MIR.
Murphy believed it or not at the
time, it certainly did and also to
the t"ne of $50 per acre. MIR.
Murphy located many homestead
ers and sold no small amount OF
land in the Golden Valley. The
W;ba''x paper says he leaves a
wife, three DAUGHTERS and two
sons at Mildred.

Attempts Suicide

On Tuesday afternoon Bert
Wall, who is quite we'll known in
the eastern part of the county, at
tempted to commit suicide, by
throwing himself in front of a
fast freight train passing through
town over the Northern Pacific.
For the last few months he has
been having considerable hnan.

has lost in deals several thousand
dollars-in fact about everything
he had.
He came into town Monday
and remained about until Tues.
day afternoon, and then he
went to the depot and asked
when the next train would go thru.
He was asked which direction,
and he said either way. He
was told that fast freight would
be going through in a few min.
utes. n few minutes later and as
the train approached he was dis.
covered on the track, down across
the rail. AS the agent and 9th.
ers approached he ran down the
track and again assumed the pos.
ition across the rail, and it was on.
ly after fierce scufae that he was
removed from the track in time
to save him from the wheels OF
the locomotive.
He was then taken in charge
by the authorities and placed
where he could not carry out his
determination to do away with
himself.-Wibaux Pioneer.

Beach Firm
Changes Hands

An important change occurs
this week in the business firms of
Beach. The Welles-Thomspon
lumber yard has been taken over
by new organization in the lum-
Der world, which will be known
as THOMPSON YARDS, Inc.
The announcement of this change
is made in the advertising col
umns and the inventory is now
being taken by representatives of
both old and new companies. So
tar as we are informed MIR. ]. F.
Foster will remain in charge of
the new company's business in
Beach. The Welles-Thompson
Co. entered the retail business in
North Dakota about a year ago,
with many new ideas in regard to
retailing lumber. MIR. Thompson
who had made a close study of
the old methods of selling lum.
ber, was convinced that there was
new and better way of getting
it direct from the tree to the con-
sumer. The Company has been
very successful, and the new COM
pany is said to be the direct re-
suit of the Inauguration of Mr..
lhompsons policies. The Wev-
erhaeusers are recognized as the
largest timber owners in the
world. 1t has been said that thew
were not at all satisfied with the
cid method of selling lumber.
hey believed that as long as
they had been able to reduce the
cost of manufacturing to the low
est point, that the consumer
should not be taxed with inter
vening profits that did not in
crease the value of the lumber,
and only served to decrease the
demand. Now that the Viewer
haeuser interests have joined the
thompson interests, and have
come to Beach. we expect to see
a great impetus given to building
activities. The concern is fully
equipped with timber lands, saw
mills and capital, and believe in
boosting every town where they
decide to engage in business. A
great many towns throughout the
state are very anxious to have this
concern go into business in their
locality, because they are very ac-
tive in promoting building activ-
tiles, so we consider Beach very
fortunate in having been selected
as one of their mill outlets. 1t is
understood that the company in
tends to remodel the present dis
tributing plant, and carry fine
stock of lumber. We welcome
the new company to Beach.

u. S. A. Not
Going to War
Part of Assessors Duties Lead to
Anxious Inquiries-Visions of

scription Loom Up.

The neutrality of the United
States and North Dakota is not

scription drafting all men who are
more than l8 years old or less
than As years of age as persons
fit to perform military service.
Many Worried
When notices were sent out in
to the state last week by the as
SCISSORS that under the provisions
of Chapter l65, laws of 1909, l
have enrolled your name as a per-
son liable to perform military
service, several mothers through
out the state thought that the Un-
tied States was on the verge of
plunging itself into the great Eu-
ropean conflict. Communica-
tions were received and interpret
ations asked. =
No Cause For Alarm
There should be no alarm. Il
is only a matter of getting a cor
rect Enumeration of those that are
fit for military service. There will
be no conscription or drafting as
many may think. 1t is simply a
law and must be needed in the
census taking.
What TIE Law Says
Part of the law reads: ''All
persons claiming exemption with
in IS days after receiving this
notice, should file written state
ment of such exemption, verified
by affidavit in the office of the

LOOKING FOR OIL BOOM IN
WESTERN MONTANA

Glendive, Mont, April g.
That western Montana is due fo1
a boom not exceeded by the oil
field rush in Oklahoma, is the as
sertion of location men who have
studied the oil and gas prospects.
Glendive is less than 100
miles south of the Bow Island and
Medicine Hat wells which supply
Calgary gas, and it is asserted
that the same strata exists in this
section. In dozens of places near
here, men are now drilling 70,
gas and oil, urged on by the fact
that two gas wells at Harve are
producing 100000 and 5,000,-

City Books
Checked Up

E. R. Orchard, state examiner.
arrived in Beach the latter part of
last week and proceeded to
check up the city books, with an
assistant, and has made up his
report, which under the law goes
to the governor who files a copy
with the examined. According
to MIR. Orchards examination
Beach has outstanding warrants,
including bonds, special sewer
and water warrants amounting to
47.l04.99. This amount does
not agree with the figures pub
Iished by City Auditor Hudson
for the reason that the former
statement and balance brought
forward by former City Auditor
Egan were not correct. The
books and system as kept are in
2ery bad shape, in fact no system
was kept at all under the old city
auditor and the fact that the city
was without an auditor for about
eight months, didn't improve
matters. Mr.. Hudson since TAX
ing charge of the Office has been
putting all his spare time posting
up past proceedings and writing
up past business, and consequent
ly has not been able to systemic
the work as yet. When the ex-
aminer files his report. which will
contain all recommendations
found necessary, system will be
inaugurated and thereafter a reg
ular check will be made between
the auditor and treasurer everv
month. Heretofore all funds
have been thrown together in one
general pot and all warrants
drawn against this general fund,
which was contrary to the laws.
When the examiners report is hl-
ed the Chronicle will give same
publicity.
