REAL GOLF GROUNDS
At COUNTRY CLUB

The members of the Dickinson golf
club have reason to be proud Of their
beautiful links this year. The club
officers and greens committee have
worked out new schemes for haz-
yards, hunks and putting green's.
The fair greens have been changed
to more pleasing proportions and are
we'll decorated with artificial and
natural bunkers, which together with
the water holes, "out-of- bounds" and
trough" grass, make the Dickinson
links real sporty.
The tournament play starts this
week Saturday and the same handi-
caps as played last year will prevail
till the first cup tournament is fin
ished.
Interest is growing in this, the
greatest Of safe outdoor games, and
it is seldom the club loses a member
unless he leaves town.
One of the striking features of the
orally very level and easy to walk
over, but still is found hazardous
enough to please the sportiest player.
The tournament committee: V. H.
Stickney, William Kostelecky and l..
H. Rudiselle, are arranging details
for some lively events this year for
both the men and lady players:
The club officers, besides those
mentioned are: W. l.. Richards,
president; F. L. Roquette, vice presi-
dent; A. E. Erdahl, secretary; A. T..
Crowl, treasurer. The green's COM
mittee consists of John Reuter-, Jr.,
Guy Hunter and w. F. Burnett.
House committee: F. L. Roquette
and T. D. Casey. :

Among the prominent speakers

Kretchmar.
The parade at 200 Thursday after
noon was participated in by nearly
900 members who, according to their
teachings, marched under the Ameri-
can flag.
The order now has over 10000
members and one Of their principle
teachings is true Americanism, which
means they are all true patriots.
1t is safe to say that all members
of the German-American Alliance arc

son, being so favorably impressed
with the city and its surrounding
territory they realize that it is
much needed institution.
The convention selected Bismarck
as their next meeting place in June,

DICKINSON PUTS ON
BRAND NEW ATTIRE

To say that Dickinson is now a
beautiful city is putting it very mild.
Mayor White has seen to it that the
streets, alleys and vacant lots were
put in order. The main thorough
fares have been scraped and oiled,
the culverts at the street crossings
trued up and heightened. Many
streets have been graded and fitted
with new concrete crossings, so near
ly every street in the city is fit to
be called a speedway.
, The lid has been frightened on
speeding, lights and turning corners
and the police department is seeing
that these ordinances are enforced.
All these things help to make
Dickinson look beautiful to the visi-
tor. Few of our guests this summer
can help but leave with most favor
able impression of our fast growing
city with her fine business blocks,
beautiful residences and streets,
abundance of trees and as fine a
lighting system electricity can pro-
duce.
The elaborate decoration in honor
of the big state convention of Elks
put the finishing touches on and if
there is "Bill'' who doesn't feel he
is heartily welcome and at home, we
miss our guess.

LOCAL MEN GET LEASE
IN RESERVATION NORTH

It is expected that stockmen from
Dickinson and vicinity will get their
renewal leases for pastures in the
Berthold reservation very soon.
These grazing permits, for a term Of
years, were agreed upon some time
ago, or soon after W. L. Richards
called on the department in Wash
ington last winter. However, some
minor details had to be worked out
ard it WAS lot until just recently
that the term leases were granted.
The reservation has about 100000
acres Of grazing lands, 100000 acres
being in the south pasture and leased
by W. L. Richards, Robert Wilcox,
H. G. Christensen, VIM. Connolly, C.
S. Lee and others. The northwest
pasture is leased by John w. Goodall,
Henderson Bros, Frank Banks, T. E.
McGregor and others. ~
By getting their leases for a period
Of years, the stockmen are able to
conduct their business on a safe
basis, but when they had to lease
from year to year it was very un-
satisfactory and a number of well
known cattlemen retired from the
field. Nj 9. .5 U. ~

GENERAL STRIKE
MAY Effect ALL
BIG RAILROADS

Glendive, Mont, June 16.-Confer-
ence at New York is practically brok-
en- up and Brotherhood leaders have
definitely rejected the proposals Of
the railroad managers. The meeting
adjourned until Friday when it is up
to the managers to do something in
the way of concessions or probably a
strike that will effect every large rail-
way system in the country will be
imminent.
New York.-A conference-o rep
resentatives of railroads of the
country and 100000 employees, called
to avert a general strike, came to a
sudden halt when the railroads sub
mitted counter proposal to the de-
mands of the men.
The workers asked an eight hour
day, time and half for overtime, and
continued rules giving double pay for
different classes of services during
the same working day. The confer
ence adjourned until later in the day
when the railroads will make a reply
to what is considered as "yard
stick" method of compensation.
The railroads answer to the men
was tentative offer to compromise,
granting an eight hour day if the
double compensation law is wiped out.
In other words, the railroads main
tain that if the men desire short
ened day they must put in a full day
regardless Of whatever class Of work
they are assigned.

Crowds Everywhere

Elks and their friends have been
pouring in from all directions and
crowds that far exceed the expecta-
tions of the optomistic management
are thronging the streets, Special
trains line the railroad yards, auto
mobiles are simply stacked along the
curbings. Every available room in
town is filled.
s,. The Big Arena .
People who have attended the
largest wild west shows in this
country say the big Dickinson arena
is far ahead of all of them as regard
grounds, fence and corrals. Seating
capacity for over 1000 people and
more.
Manager Geo. Gardner has every
thing connected with the running of
the wild west events well in hand
and will sure cut loose some thrilling
scenes for the fans. Everything will
be done to avoid any unpleasant hap
penings, but with outlaw horses and
wild steers that are bent on not be-
ing conquered, there are bound to be
some hair-breadth escapes and prob
ably some few accidents.
Cowboys Galore
Friday morning early the streets
were fairly swarming with cowboys
and visitors anxious to take part in
or see the very first excitement on
the program. The hotels and res
taurants are playing to crowded
houses and the guests are being TAX
en- care of very nicely.
Plenty of Entries
Manager George Gardner, who has
charge of the wild west part of the
two big days, informs the Press that
abundance of entries for the different
arena contests are signed UP to more
than insure the carrying out of all
the hair-raising battles of man and
beast on the program. "#
Lots of Bad Horses
Two cars of the worst outlaw horse
flesh that could be obtained are un-
loaded and act as if they were ready
to hand the first puncher package
that comes within reach.
The Mexican Steers
These steers that were brought up
from Mexico by W. L. Richards,
along with trainload Of Texas cat
tie, are looking fine after a brief
period of grazing on North Dakota's
rich grass. Any cowman will allow
that it is mans job to bulldog one
of these boys. If the ladies don't
scream when these longhorned fight
ers are turned loose they are candi-
dates for bull-fghting fans.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION

New Plans Under Way-Expect
to Be Ready For the Fall
Term.

The four room school house at
Taylor burned completely down to the
ground Wednesday evening, the
flames being pretty we'll spread be-
fore the confagration was discovered
at about 1890 o'clock.
The fire started in an attic room
that the past year had been used for
manual training. School had closed
last Friday and no one had been up
there since that time. AS nearly as
can be ascertained spontaneous COM
bustion was the cause of the fire.
The building was valued at be-
tween $4,000 to $4,000 and was COW
cred by $500 insurance, including
equipment, none Of which was saved
excepting few seats.
Plans are already underway for the
erection of a large new six room
school building of brick to cost from
$4,000 to $4,000.

"AI principles of civil service and

BY his action in lining up against

GOVERNMENT MAY SEIZE ROADS
IF RAIL STRIKE OCCURS

St. Louis, Mo-, July 17,-DeclariHg
that the United States government
was better prepared now than ever
before to operate the railroads of the
country, J. ]. Keegan, commissioner
of the department of labor, predicted
the government would take over the
roads should the four great railroad
brOtheThOOds call strike Of their
members.
Keegan said that once the govern
ment took charge of the roads the
men would go to work Immediately.
He based this assertion on the fact
the government has long since re-
cOgnized the eight-hour day, one Of
the bones Of contention in the pres
ent controversy between men and
employers.
But I cannot conceive that either
the railroads or the bFotheFhoods will
let a break occur" he said. "A COM
promise seems more probable. How
ever. should the break occur, and
nearly a half million men leave their
work, paralyzing transportation and
threatening starvation of the ma
ti0n. the government would act in
"a hours.
1T could do nothing else. Every
railroad in the country would be
seized, and once these roads pass into
the control of the United States they
would never again be returned to
private ownership"
