home in Dickinson, and as soon as Mr..
Remer can get properly located he
expects to open up some line of bust

PIONEER CITY BUSINESS
MAN DIED SUNDAY LAST

M. N. Bran, one of Dickinson's
pioneers, passed away at his home on
Sunday morning very unexpectedly.
Although ailing for several years, the
end was not thought quite so near.
Shortly after waking that morning,
he seemed quite rested and comment
ed to his youngest daughter, Miss
Raleigh, on his good nights sleep.
Then being seized by coughing
spell he sank back and the end came
Mr.. Bran and his wife came from
Russia about rs years ago, first set
Ting in Chicago and later coming to
Dickinson, where he conducted a tai
loring shop for about sixteen years.
Three years ago he opened general
store, The Dickinson Cash Store,
later taking his son-in-law, Joe Tutil-
man, into the firm. Last winter he
spent in California, in hopes that the
change of climate would benefit his
health, but he came back very little

GET
TOGETHER FOR
BIG CAMPAIGN
DICKINSON CITIZENS TO MEET
EVERY WEDNESDAY TO
TALK NORMAL SCHOOL.
Enthusiastic Meet Held Last Wednes-
day Night-Large Crowd in
Attendance.

That the citizens of Dickinson are
genuinely interested in the establish
ment of Missouri Slope Normal
School was amply evidenced last
Wednesday evening when a capacity
house attended the booster meeting in
the Commercial Club rooms. "Pep
and Go" are the new watchwords and
Every Vote on the Slope, a Vote for
the Normal" is the slogan.
r. $. Berg, superintendent of the
city schools, made an eloquent appeal
for better qualified teachers. His
statements, giving facts and figures,
were comprehensive and convincing,
and it was with surprise that those
in attendance learned of the woeful
unpreparedncss on the part of many
who are now teaching in the country
schools. He emphasized the terrible
fact that while only six million dol
lars are spent per year for the MAIN
tenance of all of the normal schools
in the United States, twenty millions
are spent for the building and equip
ment of only one battleship. The
man who harps on increa sed taxation
should let this terrible truth sink in
over three times as much money is
spent for ONE AGENT OF DE-
STRUCTION than is expended in one
year for PREPARATION OF
TEACHERS TO TEACH THE
CHILDREN OF THE UNITED,
STATES.
Ludwig Lenhardt followed by max
ing an urgent plea in the German
language for a normal. Judge Maser
spoke convincingly in both German
and English.
The meeting concluded with STIR
ring address by George Keniston,
commissioner of publicity, who has
charge of the boosting Of the school
throughout the state. Mr.. Kcniston
opened his address with the request
that everyone in favor Of a normal,
answer "Ayc." This request was re-
peated three times, until the Com
mercia Club rooms fairly reverber-
ated with noisy enthusiasm. The
publicity commissioners "pcp" ard
fairly glowing activity, was trans
mittcd to the audience urtil every
man present was ready to spring to
his feet and do his share Of whatever
was asked. Mr.. Kcnistons address
was intcrspcrscd with witticisms and
stories that were entertaining and
"to the point" He promises some
thing "straight from the shoulder"
for next Wednesdays meeting, and it
sure will be worth hearing.

PRAIRIE FIRE DOES BIG
DAMAGE At MILESTONE

The hustling little town Of Whet-
stone, twelve miles west of Killdecr,
had narrow escape from destruction
by. a prairie fire recently. The fire
originated from a burning straw
stack west of the village, and the
high wind drove the flames to within
few feet Of the principal buildings
of the town before they could be ex-
tinguished The feed barn was in
the path Of the fire and was de
stroyed, as was also a portion Of the
dancing pavilion destroyed. John R.
Nelson lost all of his hay, John Col
Inns lost large quantity of hay, barn
and other property. The buildings of
Gullick Olson and Matt Sloan were
saved after an almost superhuman
fight.
A strip of country five miles wide
was burned over, and q great deal of
property in this area was destroyed.

MORE BLOCK SIGNALS
FOR NORTHERN PACIFIC

The Northern Pacific railway will
soon increase it's main line automatic
block signal system, the number of
miles to be added being ZIG. These
signals, of the latest improved type,
will be installed between Mandan,
North Dakota, and Glendive, Montana.
This information is authentic and
comes direct from the N. P. head
quarters in St. Paul to the Dickinson
Press.
About 1900 of the 1904 miles of
main line trackage between Duluth,
Superior, St. Paul, Minneapolis and
the North Pacific Coast are now
equipped with these automatic safety
devices. The Northern Pacific rail-
way ranks fourth among railways of
the United States in mileage protect
ed by block signals, and first among
railways operating through the
northwest. Because of this fact it
has an enviable record for absence of
accidents and comfort to travellers
who ride on it's trains.

\. P. ROUNDHOUSE
AND. SHOPS BEING
RECONSTRUCTED
RAILWAY COMPANY TO SPEND
IMMENSE SUM FOR PERMA-
NENT IMPROVEMENTS.
Dickinson Plant Will Be One of the
Most Modern in North Dakota
When Completed.

The Northern Pacific railway is
now in the midst of Ole of the big
gest building enterprises ever con-
Quoted in Dickinson. The round
house, machine and car shops, and
heating plant is being rebuilt and
modernized in every particular. AL
ready fifty carloads of material have
been mloaded, and at that only a
start has been made. Carload after
carload of cement, gravel and brick
is being used, and the cost of i'm
provements will run into the
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars. -
which burned down early last spring
afc now In the process Of reconstruc-
tion. The concrete pits have been in
stalled, as have the heating, water
and sewerage systems. The entire
ground plan is being changed from
the old system, and modern convent
ences will be evident at every hand.
The north wing of the round house,
built of brick many years ago, will be
torn down and replaced with modern
structure. The temporary wooden
machine and car shops will give way
to brick and concrete structures, as
will undoubtedly the building housing
the new heating plant. Brick fire
walls will be built at regular inter-
walls throughout the new mammoth
plant, and consequently in case of an
other fire, the flames and damage will
be confined to one small section.
Construction Superintendent Tom
Berg has 60 men at work at present
on the excavations, foundations and
concrete pits. The building construc-
ton gangs will arrive upon the scene
shortly to begin active work on the
superstructures.
The machine shops and heating
plant were completely destroyed by
fire last spring, together with nine
round house stalls: Temporary frame
structures were Immediately erected
and new machinery and equipment in
stalled. These will now be torn down
and permanent buildings put up
which will provide abundant facilities
for the rapidly growing railway bust
ness at this point.
The Northern Pacific officials have
faith in the future of Dickinson, and
believe this city will eventually be-
come the metropolis of western North
Dakota. They are now backing their
faith with permanent improvements
that will provide for a steadily in
creasing business.

CHECK fORGER GOES TO
STATE PEN FOR A YEAR

Paul Hebarda, who was brought
back from Cleveland, Ohio, recently
and plead guilty to the charge Of
forging a check for $110 on William
Gardner, Daglum farmer, was SEN
fenced this week to spend one year
in the state penitentiary. Judge
Crawford passed the sentence at Mott,
the prisoner being taken overland to
that city, where the judge is holding
court.
Hebarda confessed his guilt, but
proclaimed that he had intended to
pay the amount back. He said that
he had nearly enough money at one
time this summer, but that he was
taken ill and had to spend it. He is
young in years, and on this account
Judge Crawford was lenient and
passed light sentence.

BROTHERHOOD MEMBERS
HAVE INTERESTING MEET

A highly enjoyable evening was
spent by the Congregational Brother
hood and their guests at the church
parlors Monday evening. Following
a substantial supper, Elliot Freeman
and Frederick Jessen favored the
gathering with a couple of cleverly
played instrumental numbers. The
singing program devolved about
Cashier A. o. Christensen Of Fryburg
and H. O. Pippin, deputy county sup
erintendcnt of schools; who sang sew
eral solos most delightfully."-.
The big feature of the evening was
the telling of old time stories and
experiences by early pioneers Of
Stark county. T. S. Underhill told of
his first visit to the Slope back in
1882, and how he became interested
in Stark county because of fine clear
water spring he discovered on what
is now known as Spring Creek. He
purchased the land upon which he
found the spring, despite much advice
to the contrary given by his friends.
Stark county in those days was just
a vast plain and many thought it rank
idiocy to buy land or settle out here.
But Mr.. Underhill thought different
and as result he obtained one of
the best farms in the vicinity.
S. M. Ferris spoke of his early days
at Medora, when he was associated
with. Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt
on the ranch. He told of the delight
the cowpunchers used to have in max
ing the tenderfoot dance, and related
a little incident of when the boys got
an itinerant preacher into game
of poker and feeced him.
John Orchard also related a few of
the pioneer experiences of himself
and family, experienced when this
was but COW country. Walter Ster-
land finished up with some interesting
and amusing tales Of the time that
he was a butcher with the, Indian
fighters back in 1875.
An election of officers was held
during the evening, all of the old Of
fcers being elected with the exception
of the vice president, who has moved
from the city. The officers now
actively in charge follows: E. P. Lee,
president; J. V. Jessen, vice presi-
dent; M. A. Scherffius, secretary,
Thos. H. Pugh, treasurer.
The Brotherhood passed resolu-
ton to assist the maintaining of a
company of Boy Scouts, and steps will
be taken to provide for q scout master
