N. p. RAILWAY TELLS EASTERN
FOLKS ABOUT NORTH OAK.

The publisher is just in receipt of
a very elaborate 64-page publication
entitled "North Dakota" issued by the
Northern Pacific Railway. This pub
lication is profusely illustrated with
farm scenes made from actual photo
graphs taken in territory tributary
to Northern Pacific lines in this state
and treats on the value of this country
as an agricultural district. 1t goes
on to say what diversified farming has
done in the last few years and the ad-
vancement made under the direction
of North Dakota Experimental Sta
tions with respect to the growing of
various cereals which, few years
ago, We're considered an impossibility.
It treats on stock raising, dairy inter-
ests and supplies great deal of sta
tistical matter for the years which
have just closed.
Of this issue $4,000 have been pub
lished and will be distributed by the
Publicity Department of the railway
throughout the eastern states, show
ing them what North Dakota is doing
in agricultural lines. L. J. Bricker,
General immigration Agent Of the
Northern Pacific Railway advises that
he will be glad to mail the publica-
ton to any one in the east if names
are supplied him.

PAVING EXPERT WAS HERE
SAYS DICKINSON IS ALL RIGHT

Frank B. Holmes, representing the
Warren Brothers Company, was in
the city Tuesday looking over the fu-
ture prospects Of this city. The War;
rem Brothers have done vast amount
of paving in the large cities of the
west and middle west, both in the
United States and in Canada, their
nearest work being in Mandan, where
they put in paving little over year
ago.
In talking with Mr.. Holmes he was
accused of being booster for his
company, and he said: you're
right, Pm booster for the company
and for every hustling town in North
Dakota, for they are certainly some
thing to boost. And what's more,
I've not seen many towns that I'd
rather start boosting than Dickinson.
Your 100000 Elks building, your
$4,000 Masonic Temple, two fine
hotels, your flour mills, brick plants
and elevators; why gentlemen, what
more do you want? Then there is the
Normal school which they tell me is
coming to Dickinson.
eyes, I'll admit that your present
streets and roads do look good. You
have them nicely crowned and they
are in fairly good shape now, but I
hardly believe that they are this way
every day in the year, You should
have a few blocks of paving on your
front street and two or three up your
side streets, also your main alley in
your business section should be paved.
You may think it is in the distant
future, but do not think so. When
you have your present improvements
paid for, your light system, water
works, etc., you'll want to do some
thing along this line.
"Your city engineer is certainly on
his job as I see that he has not only
had your streets made right for the
present, but has also had an eye for
the future in having your curbs made
for paving. No Pm not after con-
tract, but we have the best there is
in the paving line and sometime you'll
want it. And what's more we GER
tainly want you to have the best for
that means a contract for u.s."

DICKINSON MEN
ORGANIZE BANK

Our readers will be interested to
know that J. M. Noes, J. F. Brodie
and H. J. Blanchard have organized
the Sioux County State Bank of Fort
Yates, the officers of which will be
announced later.
This is what the Sioux County
Pioneer had to say in it's last issue
of three well known Stark county
men:
"Among charters issued to new cor
porations recently by Secretary of
State Thos. Hall is that of the Sioux
County State Bank of Fort Yates,
the organization certificate of which
was filed for record in the office of
the register Of deeds for Sioux county
last Friday.
"The incorporators are J. M. Noes of
Taylor, J. F. Brodie and H. j.
Blanchard of Dickinson, North Da-
kota. All three represent strong fl
nancial interests and are among the
best known men of the slope country.
Mr.. Brodie in addition to being inter-
ested in a number of banks is owner
of the Consolidated Coal Co. mines at
Lehigh, on the N. P. railroad, and
Scranton, on the Milwaukee railroad.
Mr.. Blanchard is one of the leading
lawyers of western North Dakota, and
a member of the Legislature from
Stark county this session. Mr.. Noes
| is 1.esident Of a bank at Taylor, a
Ley town east of Dickinson, and re-
puted one of the wealthiest men in
the state west Of the Missouri river.
"The new bank will commence busi-
ness June 1st, according to the GER
tifcate filed. Where their banking
house will be located, or who the
other officers will be, is not known at
this time. The entrance of another
financial institution augur we'll for
the future of Ft. Yates, as it indicates
that outside men realize that the
county seat of Sioux scounty is bound
to be an important business point with
the opening of the reservation and the
competitor of the railroad"
DR.. r. H. Tracy of Bismarck, chief
veterinarian of the U. s. Bureau of
Animal Industry for North and South
Dakota, Montana and Wyoming, is
president of the First National bank
at Fort Yates which has been doing
business the past season at the new
county seat town.

SECRETARY { RE T, N, FRETW|LL L

Fred w. Turner, president Of the
National Parks Highway association,
returned home the first of the week
from a trip to Bismarck and Fargo
to which places he went with F. M.
Fretwill, secretary of the Automobile
Club of Seattle, for a conference with
F. L. Conklin and J. P. Hardy. Mr..
Conklin of Bismarck is treasurer of
the National Parks Highway associa-
ton, while J. P. Hardy of Fargo is
first vice president. The Seattle man
stopped off at Medora en- route east
and returning from the Twin Cities
will 60 over the Milwaukee, stopping
at Marmarth to see what the condi-
tions are for crossing the Little Mis-
souri, river. %
Mr.. Fretwill was greatly impressed
with the cities and business enter
prises he found along the main line
of the Northern Pacific. The hotels
at Glendive, Dickinson, Bismarck,
Mandan, Jamestown and Fargo, he
said, were the kind Of places the con-
tinental auto trotter wanted to find
when touring the country. These
matters appeal to the tourist, and our
roads, as whole, are also much bet
ter than any others found in the
western part of North or South Da-
kota. The Bad Lands section Of the
Red Trail route is the most scenic of
any to be found any where.
