.B|JOU THEATRE slo|sED & |'l:!
ROYAL CAFE TO .|:|I| HAVE Y
THIS FINE CORNER

Ed. Fisher, proprietor of the
"Royal Lunch" has leased the first
floor in the Leonberger building, the
Bijou theatre having closed the first
of the week, and will move into his
new quarters as soon as all the neces-
sary changes and repairs are made.
The new place will continue under
the old name, which is we'll known
and means a lot to the patrons of the
cafe as Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher have
established a reputation for pleasant
and efficient service. They will carry
on the business along the same plan
as in the past and at the same
prices. e.
Everything in their new location
will be carried out in white as far
as possible. Several marble topped
tables will be added to the eight
which Mr.. Fisher installed a short
time ago. A water fountain in the
large dining room will do away with
ice coolers. The ice boxes will have
sewer connection which will greatly
add to the convenience. Fresh air
will be kept in the room at all
times by a great suction fan at the
end of the building. .E~l
!. It is just about a year since the
Fishers established the "Royal Lunch
and in that time they have worked
up a remarkable business, which will
be still further increased by their
more convenient location.

SUMMER SCHOOL
!. INSTRUCTORS ARE
NOW ANNOUNCED
PLANS ARE BEING FORMULATED
FOR ENTERTAINMENT OF
VISITING TEACHERS.
Big Attendance Is Expected By Supt.
Ward and He Will Have Litera-
ture Out Soon.

Since their recent meeting at Bis
marck, the Slope county superintend-
ents are exerting their influence in
persuading their teachers to attend
the summer school session at Dick
inson this coming summer.
The benefits of summer school
are very evident. It gives the teacher
an opportunity of closer communion
with our best educators and to get
from them tried ideas and ideals of
teaching. Furthermore, a teacher
holding an elementary certificate may
have the same renewed without ex-
animation by attending the five
weeks and those wishing can have
their second grade elementary GER
tifcate subject standings applied to-
wards a new certificate.
Supt. P. s. Berg will have charge
Of the school and will be assisted by
the best of talent, including Mrs.
Helen H. Porter. who has state fame
as primary instructor. Her pri-
mary methods are regarded as an
authority as she has held the super
intendency of this department in sew
eral schools of note in the state.
Miss Mary Digby, principle of Central
School in Bismarck, Miss Stella Van
Dyke, one of our present high school
instructors, and Superintendents c..
J. N. Nelson Of Beach and C. L. Love
Of Mandan constitute the rest of the
teaching corps, with the exception of
the instructor in high school subjects,
who has not yet been named. Most
of the above teachers need no intro
duction as they taught here during
last summers session. All are
thoroughly capable and acknowledged
educational leaders.
The Slope county teachers are
earnestly requested to give Dickinson
their careful consideration before de-
Gliding where to attend summer
school These counties are footing
the expense of the school so it is
"our school" and should be patronized
by: our teachers, if they attend any
PLACE of the kind, at all. Every ef-
fort will be made to entertain them
and treat them we'll. No tuition will
be charged and no expense wifi be
incurred in buying or renting books.
In short everything is being
planned for the ediication, conven-
ience and comfort of the attending
teachers, for we know that our school
will be a success only as far as they,
who attend, are satisfied. The aim is
to make Dickinson the best summer
school in the state and we need the
attendance to make it so.
The summer school will begin
about June 10th and will be in ses-
cior fo,. fx,o xuoo1c Eooh u1oo1r will
have six class days so that teach
ers will get the same amount of
work as if attending the regular six
weeks.
Supt. C. E. Ward will be pleased
to give anyone any desired informa-
tion concerning the summer school.

Beautiful City.

DR.. A. P. Nachtwey, city health Of

Quite a number of people have
their grounds and alleys cleaned and
in fine shape, burt Dickinson certainly
needs some more work done before
we can think of entertaining the
many conventions that are ours for
this spring.
The health of the city will be in
serious danger if these disease-germ
breeding places are not promptly at
tended to and DR.. Nachtwey is en-
titled to the hearty cooperation of
every Dickinson citizen who has the
best interests Of the city at heart.
It has been limited that certain
club was going to photograph every

PRINCE SELLS JOE CAIN
$4,000 RANCH PROPERTY

E. H. Prince of Chicago has sold
his ranch property southwest of
Mary to Joseph P. Cain for a con-
sideration Of between $60,6000 and
$4,000. The final papers were
drawn in Dickinson early this week.
The sale of this ranch property
northwest of Dickinson comprises
eight sections of land, modern build
ings, farm and ranch equipment, 100
head of cattle and 40 to so horses,
including registered and high grade
animals. q
I Mr.. Cain had nearly 1000 acres of
land adjoining the Prince property on
the north and with his leased land he
will now control a range Of $4,000 to
10000 acres. The property just ac-
quired has 80 miles of fence, is we'll
watered and is considered one of
the largest and best ranching propo
sitions in the country.
Mr.. Cain has made arrangements
to stock the place with about 600
head of cattle. He has about 500
head of horses on the reservation
which he plans to sell early in the
summer, giving his attention princi-
pally to raising cattle in the future.
He is very successful stoclxman,
and is to be congratulated on having
acquired SO fine stock grazing prop
erty.
Mr.. Prince is a wealthy fuel dealer
in Chicago. He had owned the land
just sold for some time and about
two years ago decided to develop the
property; Last year he fenced, erect
ed a dwelling, installed a heating
plant and plumbing, and put every
thing in first-class shape for handling
both cattle and horses. However,
Mr.. Prince. decided that he would
like to go to British Columbia to de-
velop mining property, and his near
est neighbor, Joe Cain, was glad of a
chance to buy the ranch.
Mr.. and Mrs. Prince, who had
spent much of the winter at the
ranch, left on Tuesday for Chicago,
expecting to return west in May.
They both enjoyed their western
North Dakota experience, and plan
to visit the ranch occasionally.

GENERAL MANAGER Of \, P,
IN DICKINSON on THE 9TH

j. M. Rapelje, general manager,
and other officials of the Northern
Pacific railroad, were in Dickinson
last Saturday for a short time They
were returning to st. Paul from
their general meeting at Pasco, and
stopped here to see the ruins of
the fire at the round house site
which occurred April 1.
The debris had been removed and
things probably did not look as bad
as they had expected to find them.
The stationary boiler had been fitted
up SO that engines can be washed
out as they come in from their trips.
It is understood that the N. P.
will commence to rebuild on the
old site within a very short time
and that nothing but fire proof ma
terial will be used.
The railroad carries it's own fire
risks but in order to get check on
the damage for the insurance de-
partment, Adjuster Osborn was in
the city for several days. From un-
official sources it is stated that the
loss will total around $5O,0O0, not
nearly as great, as at first thought.

The stockholders of the First State
Bank of South Heart are now all
resident parties and include some 25
prosperous farmers of the country

about during the past winter, the
heretofore foreign stockholders fin
ally being induced to sell their hold
ings to local men. In the reorgani-
zation Frank Krueger, one of the best
known settlers of the Daglum
country, becomes president. Mr.
Krueger is a wealthy farmer and his

DICKINSON GETS
NEXT MEETING OF
..... SLOPE TEACHERS
THE GLEN ULLIN MEETING WAS
ONE OF THE BEST HELD BY
ASSOCIATION.
Visitors Speak High Praise of En-
tertainment Received During
Their Stay.

Dickinson carried off the laurels at
the meeting of the Missouri Slope
Teachers Association held in Glen
Ullin Thursday and Friday of last
week, as the next association meeting
to be held some time next April, is
to come here. Supt. P. S. Berg was
fittingly elected president and c. E..
Ward, our efficient county school
superintendent, holds the Office of
secretary and treasurer for the COM
ing year. H. K. Jensen of Mandan
was chosen vice president. Miss Lois
Wall, Dunn county's school superin-
tendent, well known here, was elect
ed a member of the executive COM
mittee for two years.
The program was very interesting
and instructive. Papers by Misses
Lyken and Pagenkopf on "The Value
of Initiative" and "Penmanship in the
Grades" respectively, were very good.
Superintendents Ward and Berg were
also scheduled to appear on the
program, but the latter was obliged
to return home sooner than he ex-
pected on account of illness.
The teachers also enjoyed talks by
State Supt. E. J. Taylor of Bismarck
and Supt. w. E. Hoover of Fargo.
Three resolutions were passed at
this meeting. One was that compul-
sorry medical inspection in schools be
recommended; the second that pro-
vision be made for more adequate
supervision of rural schools and last,
but not least, that the influence of
all the teachers of that body be ex-
erted upon the voters of the state to
vote favorably on the Normal school
at Dickinson.
Glen Ullin proved itself a splendid
city for entertainment. An operetta,
"Sylvia" by the high school was very
fine, the singing being particularly
good. The guests numbering around
80, were banqueted in royal style by
the Glen Ullin faculty. - 49,.
Other local teachers present at
this meeting were Misses Cora Ander--
son and Rose Waddell. Many rural
teachers were prevented from attend
ing by the exceedingly bad condition
of the roads.

early days, has given his life for
the cause of the Allies, having passed
away with typhoid fever at Leth-
bridge, Alberta.
Charles Colgrove of Antelope creek
and William Colgrove of Mott arc
uncles of the unfortunate boy.
The following is from the Lewis
ton, Mont, Tribune:
Fred J. Colgrove, son Of James H.
Colgrove, pioneer merchant and post
master of Orogrande, Idaho, died

NO WORMS! ! SAY CHILDREN
+ OF CITY, GATHER 5,658
COCOONS LAST SATURDAY

Excitement ran high among the
youngsters of the city last Saturday
when every tree, bush aad vine was
ransacked for cocoons. In the after
noon at the appointed time, between
/ 90 and 200 o'clock, they arrived in
focks at the Senour residence to re-
ceive their rewards. The average
high number of cocons brought by in
dividuals was 300 and the total num-
ber 5,658, which at u cent apiece,
meant that $28.29 came out of the
D. Y. w. A. treasury for this purpose.
Dickinson residents are realizing
the value of the work this association
is doing for the trees of the city.
This bag worm, called by some the
Gypsy moth, is very prolific, laying
around 10000 eggs twice a year. The
possible number of worms already
annihilated therefore, reaches way up
in the millions and can hardly be
realized. Several clubs, including the
P. E. O., Dorcas and Bachelors, have
contributed to the cause and prop
erty owners in the city are also
repleting the funds of tile association
for the protection of their trees.
Miss Dora Poland, chairman of the
cocoon committee, will again receive
cocoons at the Senour place for the
same price and at the usual time on
Saturday. Much as the committee
would like to take cocoons found out
in the country, yet lack of funds pre-
vents them, and children should hunt
for them only within the city.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
ADDS 81 NEW
LIVE BOOSTERS
TO HAVE SOIL PRODUCTS EX-
HIBIT AT N. P. DEPOT. CON-
MITTEES APPOINTED.
Date of Annual Meeting Changed from
May 3rd to May 18th, Which is
Regular Meeting Date.

If the addition of 81 new members
to the Commercial Club is token of
coming events for Dickinson, then we
may expect to have the most ener-
getlc body of commercial, profession
al and business men ever enrolled for
progressive purposes in a live organ
ization.
The few loyal stickers who for
years have tried to boost the city in
its endeavors and purposes, will have
the advantage Of new blood and new
momentum. At a special meeting
held in the Elks parlors last Satur-
day for conference and cooperation,
tifty-four new members were received
by vote Of the club.
These include many who were the
original organizers of the club, but
who for years have done their boost
ing outside the clubs organization,
but believing that with the prospec-
tive Normal School and the incoming
industries that a better and more
satisfactory work can be accomplished
by a united front and effort, these
fifty-four made application to become
members of the club and were duly
elected.
Additional committees were voted,
including those already appointed at
previous meetings and which include
the committee on entertainment of
County Superintendents for the 3rd
OF May, the annual meeting for the
same datc,-but by vote postponed to
the following regular meeting which
will be the 18th, and two new COM
mittees, one to continue the. canvas
for new members and the second for
tn, purpose of planning some form of
permanent exhibit on the N. P.
grounds near the depot, that the
travelling public may know of the pro-
ducts that Stark county can raise and
what it can make Of it's clay.
Those added to the County Superin-
tendents committee were Messrs.
Pagenkopf, DR.. Hauser and T.
N. Hartung.
Those added to the Annual Meeting
committee were w. F. Burnett, r. J.
Hughes, J. F. Brodie, H. J. Blanch-
ard and Roy Butler.
For the purpose of demonstrating
the fertility of the prairics and the
raw products within the city and
county, Messrs. Quinlivan, Everett,
Stackhouse, Brodie and Langley were
appointed. This committee will seek
the erection Of suitable building on
the grounds and which, during train
arrivals, would be open to the travel
ers.
Members to continue the canvas for
a still bigger membership are Messrs.
Chilgren, Rabe and DR.. Herbert.
With such additions to the working
force of the Dickinson Commercial
Club, there seems no end to what
might be accomplished in making
known the wealth and possibilities Of
our community that are awaiting
every energetic homeseeker as we'll
as the man who wishes to invest his
capital.

THOMPSON LUMBER YARD

For several weeks past there has
been talk about the Thompson lumber
company coming to Dickinson to open
a new yard. It was thought at one
time that the Thompson people
would buy out one of the local yards,
but at last reports no deal had been
closed, and from what officials of
the company say now it does not
seem that there is anything sure
about the company locating here.
The Thompson people have yards at
Beach and Ollie and are in at many
places east of the Missouri river.
