Old Timer Returns
For Short Time
Will Clark Makes His Annual
Visit To Dickinson

w. R. Clark, better known as
Will Clark, was up from Lem
mon. S. D., for Christmas, max
ing the trip via Miles City. 1t
has been his custom for some
years, since moving away from
the place, to visit Dickinson
about this season of the year for
business and renewing old ac-
quaintances.
During the early summer sea-
son Mr.. Clark was shipping cat
tie from Saskatchewan and AL
berta to the big markets. He
usually split his shipments in
Winnipeg, billing through to
Chicago. He bought hogs and
took 1000 head of cattle out OF
Medicine Hat.
During the Dingman oil eX-
citement, Mr.. Clark spent some
time at Calgary and vicinity and
invested in $50 acres of oil lands.
The oil is found at depth of
5000 feet and it is Mr.. Clark's
opinion that the new industry, if
it pans out as expected, will be
a great thing for Calgary.
Should the flow of oil run out,
the city will get a serious set
back. However, 1t w a S very
promising when he left.
In the fall Mr.. Clark had a
chance to buy 300 pigs at a bar
gain and he took 200 of them to
| Lennon, where he was able to
buy plenty of corn at SOC per
bushel. These porkers will be
ready for the market about the
| 18th of this month when the
owner will make shipment.
Mr.. Clark has great faith IN
Lennon and the country trlbu-
tary. 1t is getting to be more
and more Of a corn and stock
country. The farmers are com
mencing to grow alfalfa and
find the soil we'll adapted to
its growth. Mr.. Clark has a
farm 9 miles north of Lennon,
near the old Hilliard & Merry
sheen ranch on Cedar creek,
where he is growing stock. His
grain is fed to the stock The
place is in the hands of a good
tenant. which leaves the owner
free to attend to buying and sell
ING live stock for about nine
months of the year. The other
three months are spent IN the
south. a custom that he has fol-
lowed the past five years. Ihls
wear Mr.. Clark will leave about
the goth. He will visit A. Hill
lard at Daytona, Florida, before
he returns to Lennon n e X
