after the consent of the American EN-
bassy had been obtained.
The statement that the German
authorities did not keep their word
is contained in the documents sent
to ambassador Page at London by
Brand Whitlock, the American min
lister at Brussels. Hugh Gibson, sec
rotary of the American legation, who
made a personal appeal to Baron Won
der Lacken, the German governor, to
save Miss CavelI's life, said that a
civil official named Conrad gave posi-
tive assurances on the 18th that the
legation would be informed of the
progress of the case, and continues:
Despite these assurances, we
made repeated inquiries in the course
of the day, the last one being at $50
p. m. Mr.. Conrad then stated that
sentence had not been pronounced.
and specifically renewed his previous
assurances that he would not fail to
inform us as soon as there was any
news. At $50 it was learned from an
outside source that sentence had been
passed in the course of the afternoon
before the last conversation with Mr.
Conrad, and that execution would
take place during the night"

The allies, however, are depending

The Hestia of Athens, as quoted by

with the intention of establishing the
right of their governments troops to
pursue the Serbians and their allies in
to Greek territory, should the occas-
ion arise.
These ministers, the Hestia says,
have complained to Permier Zaimis
of Greece that the presence of foreign
troops in Greek Macedonia is con-
trary to a spirit of neutrality and
places the Bulgarian troops operat-

situation. NJ. Zaimis recalled that
Greece had protested to the allies at
the time of the first landing of

A HIGH CLASS PLAY
COMES SEPTEMBER I

The dramatization of The Calling
of Dan Matthew's" which comes to
the Dickinson opera house on Tues
day, September z, is so well known as
a book that it is utterly unnecessary to.
give a detailed description Of the plot,
as every reader Of Harold Bell
Wright's stories, and their name is
legion, has read "The Calling Of Dan
Matthew's"
In it, we find the familiar and well
loved scenes, faces and names we met
with in "The Shepherd of the Hills"
The play belongs to the twentieth cen-
fury and like all of Mr.. Wright's
stories, when put into playing form
makes an intensely interesting and
powerful acting drama. Mr.. Wright's
characters when produced behind the
footlights are always true to life, as
the author himself is a magnificent
d~elineator of character and never fails
to Undue his men and women with a
realism seldom equalled by the mod
ern playwright. The play is in four
acts, each one growing more interest
ing as the drama draws to a close,
and while serious in theme, it has a
powerful vein Of comedy that lightens
it and acts as a base of relief to the

How TO Fight tuberculosis

and published in part in the Louis

beef herd was abandoned at once and
all efforts were devoted to save the

winter, was the ranchman's greatest
enemy. Every man, except the cook,
had to stand guard over the beef

MANDAN WILL OIL STREETS
THE SAME AS DICKINSON

Oil, which has long been advocated
for Mandan streets, both before and
after the business section was paved,
is to be given a try-out.
A a load of crude oil of 40 per
cent asphalt, is on the way from east
ern markets and will arrive here SIM
ultaneously with a big oil-sprinkler
from Dickinson, about September Is.
The cost is between $3.50 and $500
and the quantity is sufficient to
thoroughly treat six city blocks, using
three-fourths Of a gallon to a square
yard.
If the process proves satisfactory,
as there is every indication that it
will, most of the city streets will be
oiled next summer with a more ex-
pensive mixture.
Upon the tentative conclusion that
paving was too expensive to be con-
sidered for a time, propositions for
the betterment of the city highways
were at once investigated. The old
plan of oiling was looked into, and
lnasmuch as it has been tried out in
this state the past summer, there was
much first-hand information.
Bismarck has several streets oiled
and finds great satisfaction in this
method Of controlling dust and mud.
Dickinson has been oiling streets
throughout the city since June Is and
reports great satisfaction. Railroad
ers and travellers declare that their
highways r in perfect condition all

physical wreck at the age Of thirty

physical wreck at the age Of thirty
five years. e.
The Long x outfit had the repu-
tation, during the early years, OF 40,
ing business on the most economical
basis of any ranching concern in the
west. It is said that in the fall Of
the year, when the regular beef
roundup was being made, it was the
custom of the cook to drive the mess
wagon to the side Of a patch Of wild
plums, and then shout "gfub-pile,"
whereupon everyone would fall to
and make a meal of natures food.
The variety of food was not very
great, consisting only Of bacon, Jour
and coffee. Later, however, In It's
more prosperous year, the rations were
raised to the regular standard, con-
sisting of black coffee, potatoes, fried
beef steak, hot baking powder bis
cults, canned tomatoes, canned corn
and baked beans. This menu was
served three times a day without fail
and it tasted better each time. No
cowboy ever had indigestion while on
the job, for if there is anything tina
will give a man an appetite it is rid
ing fifteen hours a day, and there is
nothing that will satisfy it like a
large cut of fried beef steak, a plate
of fried potatoes, a cup of hot coffee,
and a number of warm baking powder
biscuits.
Other we'll known men, besides
those mentioned, who worked for
this company were Sam Sellman,
"Colonel" Rush, Ben Arp, Ralph
Hatton, Ralph Raum, Daniel Man.
ming, Robert o. Meyer, Frank Poe,
Jay Grantier, Arthur Mahoney, Geo:
Bacon, H. F. Merrill, Geo. Frye and
E. E. Chase. Of these, the first three
have long since returned to Texas,
from whence they came; Ralph Hat
ton is in Alaska; Ralph Raum is de-
ceased; Daniel Manning and Geo. M.
Frye, residents of Dickinson, N. D.,
for many years, have passed the great
divide; Frank Poe. Jay Grantier,
Arthur Mahoney and Geo. Bacon are
still living in Mckenzie county; E.
E. Chase is in Elk River, Minnesota.
Of the first list given Wilson Rich
ards is a resident of Dickinson, N. D.;
A. H. Arnett is at Shell, Wyo.; Frank
Banks is in Williston. The head
quarters of this company was at a
ranch on Squaw Creek, which was
purchased from Hall & Braden in
1885. The headquarters were at
first on Bowline Creek, where a log
shack still stands. Hall & Braden had
intended to operate a sheep ranch on
Squaw creek, but the Vigilantes, who
made their notorious raid through
Montana and western North Dakota
in search of alleged horses in the
fall of 1884, burned their hay. Being
without hay, they lost their sheep in
the following winter and consequent
ly, they were compelled to sell out
the next spring. The Long X Cattle
Co. finally sold it's entire business to
the Converse Cattle Co., thus closing
the career Of the largest and most
famous stock ranch in the country.
With it passed away most of the best,
and certainly the most romantic, por-
ton of the history of the region.

to Mandan upon the arrival of the To-
cal consignment of oil.
The total cost of the car load will
be nearly $500; this sum will provide
for the effective treatment of six city

Observation-Disclosures News.
Banker Lanterman's Opinion
The Daily Mandan Pioneer of
August 80 contains another view
which reads as follows:
w. A. Lanterman returned Satur-
day afternoon from a two weeks
automobile trip through South Da-
kota and Minnesota and during his
visits to various cities he paid par
ticular attention to the question Of
street and road improvement. At
this time when the matter Of paving
or improving many streets in this
city is uppermost in the minds of the
people he inquired principally into
the methods used in cities of medium
size to secure a street treatment that
would be serviceable and yet not ex-
cessive in cost. For the residence
streets Mr. Lanterman says he finds
that nothing so expensive as u
Main street paving is needed. In
most cases where crushed rock or
gravel can be easily secured, a con
crete pavement is put in, and this
may or may not be surfaced. There
are any number of inexpensive sur
face treatments used which in due
course will be brought to the atten-
ton of the city commission and prop
erty owners.
Cities where oiling the streets has
been a practice recommend paving,
for the complaint against oiling is
that the oiled dust gets into the
houses, or is tracked in and the dam
age done to rugs, curtains, to say
nothing of the soiling of clothing,
makes it anything but desirable.
While it may be satisfactory for roads
where paving is impractical and where
the houses are set back from the
streets as in the country districts, it
is generally discouraged for use in
cities.
Mr.. Lanterman cited many cases
where small cities have put in a very
satisfactory and Inexpensive paving,
and the result of his Investigations
will probably be submitted to the city
commission.
1t is remarkable, says MI. Lanter-
man, what tremendous amount of
work is being done on country roads
leading into ambitious country towns.
At Milbank, S. D., the whole town
turns out ever so often and COM
pletes a section of country road, the
business men and others working
with shovels while the farmers furn-
ish the teams. In this way many
miles of the very best kind of roads
have been built into that city. In
other places the work is done at
county expense, the cities contribut-
ing their share, but all r alive to
the Importance Of good roads, as a
means Of drawing trade, and combat
ting the work of mail order houses.
More and more farmers are buying
automobiles and they are just as
vitality interested in good roads as
the merchants. This leads to a
strong cooperation between farmers
and business men and it is having it's
effect all through the older settled
sections of the country.
