And we lisp their names forever
And We see their faces clear;
The friends that love Us always,
In the sun or shadows, dear
Yes, the friends that love US always
are the friends that we want to stick
to, like Tige. They may be scarce,
and yet l do not know tat they are.
The trouble is that We are in such a
fearful hurry in this age that we
scarcely have time to die, and would
not take it if We could help it, and
that means that we scarcely have time
to lie. People who forget that the
main purpose of this life is prepara-
ton to lay it down, aven't time to
live right and to know the real mean
ing of the word called friendship. It's
all one-sided affair. selfshness rules.
Now, l didn't start out with any pur-
pose of writing this sort of-well,
whatever you want to call it-when
l took my typewriter in hand mean
the machine-but here it is and you
can make the most Of it, if you don't
care to read it I will not feel in the
least offended. because | will not know
VT ether you like it or not but most
Likely if you happen not to like it Won
will say so, but if YOU Ike it YOU vii
be as dumb as the proverbial cvster
Now 1 am going to close by asking
what sort of friend are Won, and I
am going to ask it in the verse Of
Edgar A. Guest, in Detroit Free Press:
What sort of a friend are you?
DO you stick by brothers side,
AS you know you'd want him to do
If you were as sternly tried2
Is there ever d pleasure rare
That you willingly go without
To share another's care,
And smilingly hep him out?
What sort OF friend are you?
Just one of tie fair day kind,
A smile when the skies are blue,
Ahead when he falls behind?
Do you put yourself out at all,
Do you pass up joy that's nigh
To answer a brothers call,
Or sellshly Lurry by?
Do you stick when his days are glum,
AS you did when !ais days were fair?
When ne wishes that you would cone
Do you eagerly hurry there?
Or do you tnink of yourself
Each minute the whole day through,
Of comfort, of fame and pelf?
w udI SOIl VI q Il l4Snu are SOO
What sort? That's the question II
would like for you to answer for your
own good. 1t is a personal question
and upon your answer will depend
largely your happiness I2ere and in the
hereafter. You may think I don't know
what l am talking about, but if you
will just pause for moment in your
mad rush for money or fame or office
you will wake up to full realization
of the truth of it all. May you do So
before it is too late Did you ever
think oft. Too late. Awful words,
And I am not preaching sermon
Nor trying to. Wish could. Make
tie application of all this, You. can
do it. I am not.

"The friends that love us always,
In the good times and the bad;
The friends that love us always
Are the friends that keep us glad.
The friends that cling in tempest
AS they do in Gains are those
That have made the paths of hardship
Seem the paths of song and rose.
The friends that love US always,
When We go their way or not,
Are the friends that hearts remember
When others are forgot.
The friends that stick the closest
When the trouble grows the worst;
The friends that love us always
Just the way they did at first.
They are the crowning jewels
Of the coronets we weave

DICKINSON HAS
GAME RESERVE
THE DICKINSON GUN CLUB HAS
SECURED LEASE OF N. p.
co. DYKE PROPERTY AND
BODY OF WATER.
Will Make Finest Hunting Reserve in
North Dakota. Gun Club House
and. Two Traps Will Be
Moved to Property South
of Track at Once.

The Dickinson Gun Club members
were delighted this week on getting a
Northern Pacific lease for the dyke
property just west Of the city, Me-
gotiations had been pending for some
months, but as soon as the railroad
company found out that the local
Club was in a position to take first
class car of the property, there was
no further question.
This gives the Club quite a large
tract of land and the finest body of
water in these parts. The water has
already been stocked with 10000 fish
and game will also he put on the re-
serve. "t4n...
The gun club house and two traps
on the north side of the track will be
moved over at once and every thing
put in first-class shape for the state
tournament which comes here the last
of June. Boats will be placed on the
pond and other means of pleasure
provided.
These grounds will be for gun club
members only, hence in order to get
a chance to fish and hunt on the new
Hunting Reserve it will be necessary
to take out a membership card.

MRS. wills N0RRED P. N,
. At new TOWN KlLDEER

killdeer Tribune:- Mrs. Wills
Norred received her appointment as
postmaster for Killdeer from the first
assistant postmaster general Tues
day evening, and the commission will
papers can be filed.
This is certainly good news to the
kllldeer people as the postoffice mat
ter has been delayed for several
months and the town was without
proper mail service. There were
other applicants for the position but
a strong fight was made in behalf of
Mrs. Norred and her many friends
will be pleased to know that she has
received the appointment. She is
well known in this locality, having
lived for several years in the vicinity
OF Oakdale and in the country now
tributary to the new town of Killdeer.
When the new town was first started
last fall the Norreds started a hotel
building which was opened to the
public a few weeks ago and is con-
sidered the best hotel along the north
branch. The place is now being en-
larged in order to accommodate the
trade.
A small building has been erected
adjoining the hotel building on the
south, which will be used as the post
office. Since the appointment was
received Mrs. Norred telegraphed an
order for the fixtures and these will
be installed as soon as received. The
building is ample to accommodate
present needs and will be fitted up
with all the required furniture.
1t is probable that the p~ostoffice
will be in operation here within ten
days or two weeks, or as soon as the
order is received to transfer the Of
flee from Brooks to this place. 1t is
also probable that at that time we
will be given daily mail service by
rail, as the train now carries a mail
a through from Mandan every day,
but the pouch service is used west Of
Stanton to Golden Valley.

Cleaner And
Better City
Talked AT Banquet

The monthly banquet proved very
interesting Wednesday evening at the
Willard hotel, but the numbers were
not what they should have been.
A request was read asking that the
club cooperate in an attempt to get
the custodian Of the liberty bell at
Philadelphia to ship this bell via the
N. P. to the Panama Exposition.
This is the bell that was chimeG July
4, l776, when the Declaration of In
dependence was signed. If the beH
comes this way the Dickinson people
will get a chance to zee it at the sta
ton.
T. H. Pugh reminded the members
that the annual banquet and election
would be held on May S, with Mayor
H. +. Emery of Fargo as speaker Of
the evening.
DR.. A. P. Nachtwey, health officer.
made an interesting talk along the
lines of sanitation. He hoped that
the people would cooperate in MAX
ing a cleaner and better city. The
doctor is doing splendid work and ii
his instructions are followed there
will be a marked Improvement all
along the line.
John C. Thysell of the Dickinson
experiment station, explained to the
club the plan of providing a bulletin
board for the people, on which should
be displayed temperature observation,
etc. This proposition was gladly &C
cepted and it is likely that the bulle-
tin board will be placed in the post
office. It is to have samples Of farm
bulletins also. Mr.. Thysell stated
that before leaving Washington he
had heard a great deal about the Red
Trail movement and in this Connection
Dickinson had often been mentioned.
Supt. P. S. Berg gave some sur
prising health statistics. He was
very much in favor of health inspec-
ton for school children. The govern
ment, he said, spends more annually
for the stamping out OF diseases IN
cattle and hogs than it does in an et-
fort to give health and good bodies
to our children. This he believed to
be entirely wrong.
President Fred Turner of the Ma
tional Parks Highway called atten-
ton to the fact that the Dickinson Of
flee of his association had sent out as
high as 485 letters in a single day,
which he said was advertising our
city in a way that was sure to bring
good results.
President ALI. White called upon
Albert o. Christensen, secretary of
the Fryburg Commercial Club, for a
few remarks. The visiting guest
stated that his club had 81 members
and was doing effective work for the
town.
Attorney T. d. Casey also spoke
briefly.

NORTH DAKOTA
LEADS NATION
INCREASE IN IMPROVED LANDS
IN LAST TEN YEARS GREAT
Err THAN ANY OTHER
STATE IN UNION.
Corn and Hog Production More Than
Doubled Last Year. Business
Conditions are Excellent,

Has a North Dakotan a right to
feel proud Of his state and optimistic
regarding the future?
Read the following from The Fin
ancial World, one of the leading Wall
street publications and a paper of
national circulation:
According to statistics, compiled
from the last decennial government
report, one-sixth of all the increase
in improved farm property in the
United States was in North Dakota.
"The increase in improved land in
that state during the past ten years
has been 112 per cent, more than any
other state in the union.
"In 1914 North Dakota marketed
more than five times as many hogs
as in 1912.
"Corn production nearly doubled
during the same time.
"The average farm in North Da-
kota is 582 acres.
Business conditions at the present
time are excellent and real estate and
loan agents state that the loan bust
ness is very slow this seaso owing
to the splendid financial condition of
the farmers"

TRAIN KILLS MANY ELK y
HOWARD EATON ALSO HURT

Twenty-seven out Of thirty elk, a
shipment being taken from the Vel
lowstone park to Wisconsin points by
Howard Eaton, of Eaton's ranch at
Wolf, Wyoming, died as result of in
juries received en- route, according to
Mr.. Eaton, who was in Sheridan this
week and has returned to the ranch
for the spring. At the time the elk
were injured Mr.. Eaton also suffered
a broken rib.
The accident, Mr.. Eaton says, oc-
Cured in the Billings yards when the
engineer of the train applied the air
too suddenly, bringing the train to
such a Sudden stop that animals and
mar were thrown against the car
walls and the elk piled up. Three of
the elk died Immediately. MI. Eaton
says, and the others soon afterward.
Several of the carcasses were
opened and it was found that the ami
mails had been literally crushed to
death, in several instances their. ribs
being broken and driven Through their
lungs.
Mr.. Eaton held ne contract for
furnishing large Numbers Of elk from
the Yellowstone ecddntry to different
public and :piiVafte parks throughout
Michigan, WISCONSIN and Minnesota.
On .:accoaM IF the mild winter and
light snow, the elk have been extrem-
ely difficult to capture and the loss of
this bunch is a great disappointment

FRYBURG
FAMILIES LEAVE
FOR BRDGER, MONT,

Mrs. George Brandt and little son.,
Donald Frederic, who visited in Dick
inson for several days last week, left
Sunday evening for Fryburg, expect
ing to leave the following night for
Bridger, Montana, visiting Miss Jean
Sellers en- route at Glendive.
= Miss Ethel Cummings, who was
taking her final examinations at the
Dickinson high school the FIRST of the
week, expected to join her sister at
Glendive and 60 on with her to
Bridger, where she is to make her
home for a time at least Her health
is not very good and it became neces-
sary for her to leave school. Miss
Elsie Cummings has been teaching in
the Antelope district in this county
the past year and has just been given
a contract for a three-months' term at
an advanced salary i'm this district.
So she will not go west until hate in
the summer if at all.
AS, previously stated, Mr.. Brandt
has sold out his store business at, Fry
burg and recently Left for Bridger,
about 40 miles south Of Billings,
where he has leased an opera house
and moving picture business. The
town has a population of 1000 and as
Mr.. Brandt has the only show there,
it looks very promising He was able
to get a modern home with plumbing
and with fruit trees in the yard, which
will make it very nice for Mrs. Brandt
and the baby and her sister.
The Fryburg store has been rented
to Mr.. Kerr of Portal, N. D., who took
charge last week. The wife and son
will arrive a little later. The new
merchant bought the fixtures and
rents the store Of Mr.. Brandt.
Fryburg is losing another good
family as Editor and Mrs. r. R. Gable
are also moving to Bridger. Mr..
Cable will be ready to go as soon. as
the Fryburg Pioneer can be leased or
sold. He also has to arrange for
some one to take the p~ostoffice. Mr..
Gable is not quite decided what he
will do at Bridger, but he has been
considering a proposition Of going in
with MI. Brandt as there are a num-
Der of tributary places where they
could operate moving picture shows
to advantage.

u law governing such cases..
The statute provides that it shall
be unlawful for any person to set, OF
cause to be set, on fire, any woods,
marsh or prairie, or any grass or
stubble land, except in the months Of
July and August, unless the same
shall be entirely surrounded by a
fire-guard of not less than fifty feet
in width, consisting of either plowed
or burned land; and any person guilty
of the violation Of this provision, may
upon conviction be fined not more
than $1,000, and Imprisonment in the
county Jail for not more than six
months; and shall also be liable in
civil action for all damages resulting
from such fire. And even if the fire
accidentally escapes from the control
of a person who set it on a field or
tract of land properly guarded, never
theless, he shall be liable for all dam
ages done by such fire; and in case
such fire is carelessly negligently or
Intentionally permitted to spread be-
You'd the bonds of such strip of land
surrounded by fire-glard, he shall be
liable both civilly and criminally as
above mentioned. Further, any per-
son who wilfully, negligently, or
carelesslv sets, or causes to be set, a
prairie fire by reason of a camp fire
being left unextinguished, or other
fire of any nature, shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor, and shall be liable for
all damages resulting therefrom.
1t is therefore apparent that the
laws of this state are very stringent
on the matter Of setting fire. 1t is
a crime for a person to set any grass
or stubble field on fire at any time of
the year, except July and August, I'm
less the strip or field intended to be
burned, is surrounded by a fire guard;
and even in that case> if the fire es-
capes the person setting it shall be
liable for the damages, though the
escape of the fire was entirely acct
dental The law is intended to pro-
tect communities from fires caused by
the carelessness and negligence of in
dividuals and is made so severe, be-
cause the safety and property of an
entire community is endangered and
imperilled by the criminal negligence
and wanton ~carelessness of a few
persons.
If the provisions of this law is
obeyed by everyone, there is little
danger Of prairie fires in this county,
except such as may be caused by
lightning, but if the practice of burn
ing straw stacks, stuble fields, etc., is
continued without the proper precau-
tions being taken, much nor damage
and destruction of property by fire is
inevitable, and it will be necessary to
take drastic action against the guilty
parties.
Yours truly,

States Attorney, Mckenzie Co.

J. v. GRUSCHUS HOUSE

The fire Saturday morning about 1
O'Clock at the J. w. -Gruschus house
in the northeastern portion of the
city completely wiped out another

family until about 9 years ago when
Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Gruschus moved
to California, their present address
being Sebastopol.
John w. Gruschus came to Dickin-
