! Speaking Of a recent visit of
! Mayor and Mrs. ALT. White and Mr..
and Mrs. J. G. Sanders on the Can
non Ball river, the Herald says: "For
many years Mayor and Mrs. White
have been back and forth between
Dickinson and the ranch and it must
seem queer to them now when
they have no more interest in the
place. Mrs. Sanders, who will be
remembered by many as Miss
Florence White, spent a good part of
her girlhood days at the old ranch
home and holds many pleasant men,
cries Of the Rainy Butte country.
She is now happy in her Montana
home but doesn't care to forget North
Dakota and North Dakotans."
Speaking of the trip of Attorney
land Mrs. L. A. Simpson to Amidon
last week Editor Connolly says: 1t
is seldom that MI. Simpson allows
his temper to be ruffled but he was
almost angry at the road master,
township officials or whoever is re
sponsible for the upkeep Of a certain
piece Of road not far from this town.
There is a bridge just south of the
Catholic church, near the Jacob Kof-
fer place, that is in very bad con-
dition. The approach has been
washed away and Mr.. Simpson es-
capped this bad hole by a very arrow
margin. There was no sign Of danger
or anything to show that the road
was impossible. 1t is a case of
gross and criminal negligence Mr..
Simpson declared and stated that if
he had sustained any damage at this
spot that he would have sued some
one for damage. It is some ones
duty to look after these bad places
in the roads and this duty should be
attended to. Later the same evening
DR.. J. w. Stribling was stuck in the
same place and spent several hours
getting his car out Of the hole.
One of the men who farm right is
Mike Miller, whose large farm home
nestles on the south side of Dobson
butte, the farm comprising seven
quarter sections, including the Frank
Hatch claim. Mr.. Miller has lived on
this place % years and has every
thing fixed about to his liking. The
butter from a herd of % cows is sold
in this city, six months at rs cents
in the city. The distance to town seem
very short now that they use a car
for so many of their trips. Mr.
Miller has just purchased a Nichols
Shepherd threshing rig and plows
and an elevator, the whole costing
$4,000 He has his own grain
threshed and stored. The total
amount is $3.50 bushels, Of which
$3.50 is wheat and, the rest feed. He
has a threshing crew right in his
own family and is independent. He
started Saturday threshing 5000
bushels for Malcolm, DAVIS & Ross,
and will thresh about $500 bushels
for his neighbor, Joe B. Kuntz, and
then GO to the farms of Jacob Will
helm, Daniel Decker, J. J. Simonis
and Phillip Vogel, the total amount
of work planned for this rig being
about $4,000 bushels.

great many improvements in Dickin-
son since he left here and compli-
mented Mayor White highly on the
