WHY FAD LANDS {?

The writer made an extensive auto
mobile trip through the Bad Lands
Of the western Missouri Slope recent
~, and we could not help but wonder
why these magnificent grass covered
buttes should be termed 'bud lands."
Some of the finest herds of cattle that
can be found anywhere in the United
States Craze on the sides of these
buttcs and in the beautiful valleys be-
tween. Every crittcr is sleek and fat
IS though it had been feeding on corn
instead Of buffalo grass.
Every now and then can be seen q
cultivated field giving mute evidence
that a good crop of grain, corn Or
potatoes had been harvested there
during the fall. Coal mines are at
every hand, and scoria for TIE build
ing of the finest highways in the
world is there in absolutely unlimited
Quantitics-cnough to construct high
ways for the entire nation. Numer-
Gus springs, creeks and rivers abound,
furnishing abundant water. The
buttcs provide shelter from the cold
winds to both man and beast. Verify
We cannot understand why they are
chad lands"

Mr.. Fenton did not have his love for
South Heart and North Dakota shak-
en- by anything that he saw while in
the east.
In the recent Thanksgiving rabbit
hunt held between Daglum and South
Heart the latter was defeated by a
score that stood at 235 to 157. There
seems to have been some discrepancy
in the length of time devoted by the
two sides to hunting.
All the equipment for the heating
apparatus for the Palace hotel is now
on the ground and the work of install

time. The hotel is to be heated with
steam, the boiler for which will be

dition should greatly increase the
popularity of the hotel.

NORTH DAKOTA IS
MAKING A RAPID
POPULATION gain

North Dakota is camping on Ore
CONS trail and is now less than 1907
900 behind that state in population.
the latest estimates of the United
States bureau of the census show.
The Flickertail state, the census bu-
reau guesses, now has 752,260 people,
while Oregon has 848, 1866. Six years
ago, when the last federal decennia]
census was taken, North Dakota had
577,156 people; in 1915, a state CEN
sus gave North Dakota, 636,956 peo-
Pile; the fact that approximately 120,-
600 votes we're cast in the recent gen
eral election would indicate that the
census departments present estimate
for North Dakota is quite conserva-
tive.
North Dakota is maintaining it's
kota territory numbered 4,837 people;
in 1870, that part of the territory now
embraced in North Dakota had a pop
u%lation Of 2,4O5 ;the end Of the fol-
lowing decade found 5000 people,
an increase of 1,434.7 per cent. In
1890, the federal census reported
1919 people, a gain Of 1851 per
cent over the previous decade. In
lSUU, Cne 1eQefdl census gave NOfCll
Dakota 319,146, an increase Of TAT
per cent, and in 1910, the population
Of 577,05G showed a gain Of so per
cent over the last decade. The gcin
made in the last six years is "a per
cent, or at the rate Of 60 per cent
for the decade.
North Dakota leads South Dakota
in the latest federal estimate by
about $4,000; it has 100000 more
people than Montana, with 46G.214;
more than 100000 more than Idaho,
with 4366,S81, and Utah, with 2S,974.
North Dakota is five times as popu-
lous as Wyoming, with 182,264.
If the present rate Of increase is
maintained, North Dakota will easily
have a million people in 1920. A so
per cent gain for the decade would
give the state 923,289 people in 1920,
and everyone is confident that the i'm
migration movement during the next
few years will be the greatest in the
history of the state, and that the in
crease for the ensuing four years will
far outstrip that of the past six.
The Dickinson press., 1916-12-09

Of 1878 votes cast, only 555
unfavorable to the proposition.
The Tribune has taken great pleas
urc in watching Dickinson's develop
ment the last few years. 1t has long
regarded the Stark county scat as one
of the North Dakota cities whose flu
ture is assured, and with the impetus
which Dickinson will receive from the
location there Of a big Normal school,
it may be expected to become more
than eve the pride of the Slope re-
gion.

Editor Press,
Dickinson, N. D.
Dear Sir:
l have read several articles of late
about railroad building, but they
don't seem to cover the ground to
give the most people the benefit and
1t seems to to me that if the efforts
OF the real progressive ones at Dick
lnson would be turned towards urging
the 500 railroad to cross the Missouri
river south Of Bismarck, midway be-
tween the N. P. main lire and the
branch lines, striking the numerous
small towns already located there
and then on up to Dickinson, it would
be something that would be worth
while. This section is already we'll
peopled, with more prosperous farm
ers than any other community and =
business can be expected right at the
start which would insure profit to a
railroad, and an outlet that would he
a competition that would be beneficial.
This is the time of the year the
railroads decide on next years work.
and it would seem to me that if eff,
forts would be made and the R. R.
20. urged, that the 500 could be in
duced. Let's all try it anyway. We
will from this end.

GRAND OPERA EVENT IS
BOOKED FOR BISMARCK

Announcement that Bismarck is t:
Rave a real grand opera evc..t OF
December 18th and 18th, wherei!
stars of worldwide prominence will
be heard, has stirred local society
and musical circles to an unusual ex'
tent, and it is understood that severa
parties of opera lovers will be made
up and go from here. Tie convent.
ence of train services will afford ap.
portunity to hear the masterworks 81
song and at the same time enable pa.
irons from this place to return tt
their homes within a reasonable houl
after the performances.
Mrs. W. F. Cushing, through whose
c~ommendable efforts and energy the
San Carlo Grand Opera Company has
been induced to appear at Bismarck
reports orders for opera tickets from
many neighboring cities and towns
This indicates a widespread interest
in the event, and unquestionabiy the
Bismarck auditorium will contain
three Of the largest and most discrimi-
mating audiences seen there in a long
time. Prospective patrons will find
interest in the list of stars to be
brought to Bismarck.

Electrical Gifts

The many devices seen on the well
appointed table are now operated by
electricity rather than by alcohol.
With the cheapening of the current or
a special rate for household use it is
more economical to operate chatting
dishes, ETC.. with current than in any
other way. One of the attractive sets
seer in the stores is a three piece af-
fair, consisting of stove, chafng dish
and toaster. The pieces are all similar
in design, and the stove is large enough
to accommodate a small teakettle, Il
saucepan or a skillet. The toaster has
an improved rack above the toaster
proper On which toast may be kept hot
without burning. The set comes in
nickel finish or in copper, complete
with cords and plugs. This set is in
fact a complete Kitchen equipment
only it may be used at the table.
Therefore for the woman who does her
OWL work or erves her own meals it
would make a most attractive present.
Another novelty is a hair drying comb
which may appeal to any woman. The
comb is quite like the usual large hair
dressers' comb and is fitted with cur
rent so that as the comb is passed
through the hair the current dries it
at the same time.
Another electric device is a small
hand hair drier which can be instantly
fitted to any socket and expels a gentle
current of warn air. The bulb can be
passed under Or above the hair and
will dry hair in about six minutes
thoroughly. Three grades Of heat can
be obtained.
Many a h~ousekeeper has said to her
self again and again that she wished
she could afford an electric iron. Now
is the chance for some member of the
family to give her the iron ss a Christ
mas present.
Many Of the irons on the market are
heavy, but n Of the best seer recent
~ has a very pointed edge and is ex-
ceedingly well made, so that the heat
is distributed at the point and edges.
just where it is needed in ironing.
There is absolutely no danger in U.s.
ing an electric iron, and the moment
the plug is removed the current stops,
so that there is no waste expense.
The better irons now have a little
attachment which will prevent the
cord from becoming bent where it
joins the iron. Some Of the new irons
have covers in addition. which still
better conserve the heat.
In general the price of electric irons
is about 81. complete with cord and
plug, and members Of a family could
do nothing better perhaps than unite
in giving some mother such a gift.

DICKINSON NORMAL

Bismarck Tribune: The Fifteenth
Legislative assembly will be asked 10
>~pptuprlutc %bout $780, 900 to give the
U.tX4.5,n Normal u start and to
l.l~..G>4n it for the next two years.
Tic sum requested is ~Dout the same
rs was appropriated for the Minot
Nor4nut, wien that institution was es-
tabIls4icl. The Legislature should not
hesitate TO make this appropriation,
as the people of North Dakota, by an
overwhelming majority, have declared
themselves in favor Of proper educa-
iton..l facilities for the Slope.
There certainly can be no question
as to the attitude Of the Burleigh
county delegation. Burleigh county
the Normal, returning a bigger pro-
portionate majority for the school
than any other county east of the
Missouri river. The exact figures, as
returned by the official county can
v~assiHg board, are 1918 for and 555
against. In Burleigh the vote on the
Normal school ran even with that on
the govcrnorship, indicating a deep
and general interest in the subject.
There was rot a voter who did not
regar'1 A':c proposition worthy of con-
siderc:tion, and this in spite of a great
multiplicity Of amendments and ref
%erendums and a special local issue.
The Dickinson press., 1916-12-09

Over sixty thousand voters in North
Dakota expressed their wish last
month to have a state normal school
in Dickinson. What better endorse
ment could be asked. Every county in
the western half of the state but two,
piled up splendid majorities in favor,
and over half Of the extreme eastern
counties did likewise. It makes US
feel better. We now know that the
people Of the state have confidence
in the Missouri Slope and Dickinson.
Everyone Of them would if they could
IN out here an see what there is
to be seen-prosperity, good fellow
ship and ginger at every hand.

That the merchants and business
men of Dickinson arc thoroughly
awake to every opportunity is amply
cxemplifed in this weeks Dickinson
Press, in which 2S pages are largely
devoted to their advertising. The
stores of Dickinson carry relatively
larger and better lines Of goods than
any city in the state. There may be
larger stores and perhaps larger
stocks of goods, but nowhere is the
quality better nor the prices any
lower. Now let every shoulder go to
the wheel for u push and a pull for
Dickinson. If this country is good
enough for you to live in and make
money, it is good enough for you to
