CHICKENS SCARCE;
DUCKS PLENTIFUL

Local sportsmen assert that
there will be little chicken shoot
ing this fall as compared with
other years, owing largely to the
last two unfavorable seasons.
This years spring was cold and
wet and unfavorable generally
for the propagation of the feath-
cred tribe, except in a few natur-
ally protected localities. There
are some who claim that there
should he no open Eeason for
chickens this year, in order to
allow the birds, threatened with
defamation, opportunity to null
iiply unmolested until they have
regained their usual numerical
strength.
While the season has been un.
favorable for chickens the oppo-
site is true of ducks, and a good
shooting season is promised. Lo-
"a' sports are printing their guns
fer the opening day, and mum.
ber are planning extended trips

FORMER BEACH MAN IN
TOLLS FOR FORGERY

George Purchase of Halliday,
we'll known locally, having made
his residence here for a number
q; years and later taking up his
residence in Halliday, where he
practices law, is in the tolls of the
law for alleged forgery. 1t ap-
pears that Purchase in some way
was connected with the settlement
of an estate, of which Charles
Jentzen, of Dodge, the complain-
ant, was administrator. He is
charged with having forged Jen-
teens name to an order on Judge
Morton of the county court at
Manning for money belonging to
the estate, the sum involved be.
ing in the neighborhood of $4,000.
The order was honored by the
court and Purchase received the
money. Jentzen claims that ac-
cording to an agreement which he
lad with Purchase, the latter
was to meet him at Halliday
and make settlement, but instead
hicd himself to Bismarck, where
he scintillated with leading citi-
zcns until the stern arm of the
law gathered him into its fold. He
was brought to Killdeer, and after
a change of venue he was bound
over to the district court in the
sum of $25O0 bonds.

Several Million Bushels Will BE
Raped But of no Grade.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 17.-That
North Dakota farmers should
hold their wheat for $3.50 a bush
e! was the recommendation
adopted by Is grain growers IN

six counties in North Dakota and
several III Minnesota and Mont
sna were represented. John M.
Anderson, president of the Equity
Cooperative Exchange of St.
Taul, presided.
Several gave their experiences
in wheat raising and the cost Of
production was gone over thor
cnghly. That the cost was not
Tie same in all counties and for
.s)i those present was shown III
1he figures submitted.
Costs S1.25 to 81 Per Bushel.
While some showed they could
raise a bushel of wheat at cost
cl S1.25, others proved that it cost
them as high rs 50.
None of those present venturei
10 estimate what the wheat Weld
will be this year. 1t was stated
there will be several million BUSH
els shipped from North Dakota
this year but practically all of no
grade.
North Dakota will raise sever
al million bushels of macaroni
wheat and some marquis wheat,
but I doubt if there will be 10000
bushels Of No. 1 northern wheat -
said President Anderson of tlle
Equity Exchange.

A resolution was adopted ask
ing the Equity Exchange to devise
ways and means to get proper

With R. R. Pres'ts
Ownership of Smaller Lines
Alleged to Be Controlled by
Big Lines.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Presi-
Gent Wilson today invited the
presidents Of the principal rail-
roads in the country to come to
Washington Immediately and
confer with him ON the threaten
ed railroad strils. Pending their
arrival, he does not plan to see
the committee of managers here,
with whom he had been meeting.
! he president sent the following
10 the leading presidents:
'"lhe discussion of the matters
involved in the threatened strike
has reached point which makes
1t highly desirable that I should
personally confer with you at the
earliest possible moment and
with the presidents of any other
railways affected. who may be
Immediately accessible.
Hope you can make it con-
Vcnient to come to Washington
inmcdiately."
The presidents action in asking
for a conference with the rail-
road presidents themselves, is
interpreted as meaning that the
managers committee has refused
finally to concede the eight hour
day as the presidents plan pro-
posed and tho question will now
I've taken up with the heads of
The railroads themselves.
lf Wilson finds any railroad
presidents who cannot speak alb
so;utely for their roads, he may
invite to the White House the
fnanciers who control the roads.
Official said the persistent wants
10 deal with the ultimate author
lily on both sides in order that the
negotiations may be conducted
here.
The situation, as it stood today,
was:
The railroads flatly refuse to
concede the eight-hour day, but
are willing to arbitrate the ques-
lion and all others before any
tribunal the president or the men
may decide upon.
The men are willing to arbi.
irate some questions under Ger.
tain conditions and are willing
to arbitrate others.

p pnf,iinl Historical so:i.s,
AS Postmaster
Local CartOOnist, Creator of Jim
Jams Junior, Hiram A. Rube,
ETC., Has Accepted Luz
crative Position at
Fargo.

Fargo.
The resignation of Postmaster
j. Nj. Baer, which took place
tuesday of this week, is accom-
panied with considerable regret
cn the part of the people of Beach
and vicinity, though it comes as
no surprise to his friends who
have realized that his duties as
postmaster here have prevented
his giving his work as cartoonist
the attention it deserves.
In Mr.. Baers departure, which
will not occur until successor
has been named, Beach will lose
ono of its biggest assets. The
city has received considerable adj
vcrtising as a result of Mr.. Baer's
efforts and residence here He has
cr.a:ed a reputation for clever
and effective work which has
caused him ito become widely
Known in the newspaper and
magazine world. His contribu-
ions have appeared in many of
the best magazines and periodi-
Gals of the country, among them
Icing Golfers. Judge, Life Nation
nj Printer-.Journalist and a NUM-
her of the most prominent Gai!ies
of the northwest. As the car
tooniSt for the Non-Partisan
.cader, MIR. Baer has accomplish
ed some of his best work, ack-
knowledged 10 have contributed
greatly to the political success of
the Non-Partisan League. It was
for the Leader that he created the
humorous, but drolIy effective
'I'i'am A. Rube." which imme-
diately made a hit, and with Jim
Jams Junior, which he originat-
ell. has given him a nationwide
reputation. Possessed with keen
political instinct and original
methods of presenting the stu
alton and reinforcing the editor
ial position, his services have
come more and more into demand
un>il he feels he must give his
cartoon and illustrating work his
complete and undivided attention,
rnlcttered by present prior
claims upon his time.
As citizen of Beach, Mr. Baer
has proved himself interchangeable
in lending his efforts to any
n,Ov>ment which had for it's OBJ
;cct the benefit and advancement
o. The city and Golden Valley
county. In this respect he will
be greatly missed, and Mrs. Baer's
withdrawal from local club and
social Affiliations, in which she
has always taken a prominent
part, occasions universal regret
amoS that estimable iady's many
friends.
The family's departure is con-
t'nsent upon the naming of Mr..
Eacr's successor as postmaster
here. Ii is his desire to be freed
from his postoffice responsible
ltics as soon as is pos
sible. The appointment OF a su.-
ccssor, however, there being a
ninber of candidates in the field,
may cause complications and lc-
lays which will prevent his de-
parlure for some weeks. Wh,'3
10 regret their departure to the
larger opportunity is selfish,
Beach people none the less exper-
fence a deep and personal regret
at losing this estimable family,
but rejoice with them in the reali-
zation of an opportunity which
all hope but pave the way to;
greater ones.
