TO IMPROVE RED

STARK COUNTY
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND
ROAD SUPERVISORS DISCUSS
PROPOSITION.
Every Effort Will Be Made to Put
Trans Continental Highway in
Fine Shape.

The Board of County Commission
ers of Stark County are in regular
quarterly session and are at present
busy checking up the county officials.
They are also meeting with the sew
eral road supervisors, planning the
county road work for the coming
season.
Especial efforts will be made this
summer to put the Red Trail through
Stark county in splendid shape. Coun-
ties to the east and west will do a
great deal of work: on this road and
the Stark county authorities will
make every effort to have the road
through this county as good as any.
There will be heavy traffic over the
Red Trail this coming season and
our people are alive to the fact that
good roadway will add greatly to
the popularity Of this great trans-con-
tinental highway.

WORMS OR NO WORMS?

Wouldn't it be fine to have nice
green trees all summer? The Y. w.
A. is trying to make Dickinson a
prettier place to live in, and as a
primary step has decided to try to
rid the town of the ugly destructive
green worms that are such an un-
pleasant accompaniment of every
summer.
If the cocoons are destroyed before
the butterflies emerge and lay their
eggs, the work will be much simpler.
To do this they need the co-opera-
tion of every person in Dickinson; the
children to help by collecting the
cocoons and the older people to help
financially. The collecting contest
will begin Saturday, April 9th, and
will continue until we are reasonably
certain that the cocoons are de-
stroyed. The Y. w. A. will pay hc
apiece for every cocoon brought to

WILL |RR|GATE LARGE
FARM NEAR K|LLDEER

w. L. Richards and Robert Wilcox
have received their water right from
the state for using the Spring creek
supply for irrigating purposes at
their farm three miles west of Kill
deer. They made application last fall
for prior right to the Spring creek
water which flows through their
land and is suited to the irrigating
of 300 acres.
Under the rights which Messrs.
Richards and Wilcox get from the
state, they have the first chance of
using the water of this stream and
in the event that there is more
than should be needed in any season
for the 800 acres, then the next land
owner below could make application
and secure it's use exclusively as
far as his needs went.
When Killdeer gets to be city of
a few thousand it is quite likely
that the municipality will be looking
around for some source of water
supply other than what they have
at the present time. However, the
pioneer ranchers of the Killdeer
mountain country have made sure of
their supply of water from Spring
creek:

MANNING WOMAN SENT
TO ASYLUM FOR INSANE

Mrs. John Harris, wife of Deputy
Register of Deeds Harris, of Dunn
county, was brought to Dickinson
from Manning late Saturday night,
having been adjudged insane. The
asylum agent had been notified to
come to Dickinson Saturday to get
the unfortunate woman, but as the
Dunn county authorities did not ar
rive with her until late, the officer
returned to Jamestown, thinking they
were not coming.
This necessitated placing the
woman in the jury room of the
court house, the only available place,
and Mr.. and Mrs. William Cartier
were employed to guard her. Late
in the night she became violent, how
ever, and a hurry call was sent for
help. For while half dozen strong
men were required to subdue the
frenzied woman. She later quieted
down again and was quite docile up
to the time of leaving the follow
ing. day, when another officer came
from the asylum and took her in
charge.
Mrs. Harris has been suffering
from convulsive insanity attacks for
several years past, but it is only Of
late that her condition had become
dangerous.

THE HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS
PROVIDE NOVEL CARNIVAL

Monday evening the high school
gymnasium looked very pretty with
the various booths, all in carnival at
tire. Small tables were arranged
here and there for the convenience of
the guests. The lunch, coffee and
ice cream booths afforded the oppor-
portunity Of an excellent supper.
The candy and fortune telling
booths, the latter being in charge Of
Misses Lyken and Perry, proved es-
pecially popular, as also did the fish
pond and jack booth. The largest
ground hog in captivity" and the
"human hippo" were the source of
much amusement. Jud Stanton
showed a great deal Of skill on the
gymnasium rings, performing several
difficult stunts and was roundly ap-
plauded. In the northeast corner Of
the gymnasium clever exhibition of
magic art by VIM. J. Danish attracted
much attention. A midget little
earlier in the evening was also highly
interesting.
The game of indoor golf was quite
an attraction, many trying their hand
at it and finding it very entertaining.
Many one also endeavored to earn
an orange by knocking down three
dolls out of six throws, with very
little success. The bowery in the
west end, set off by streamers, pref
tily arranged, was among the crown
ing features of the evening.
The Athletic fund of the high
school was greatly replenished by
the event.

No COUNTY SEAT
REMOVALS THIS
! YEAR SAYS Law

Bismarck, April 5th.-There will
pc no county seat removal elections
IN North Dakota this year under the
provisions of the bill passed by the
state legislature last year. This bill
attempted to abolish the two-thirds
majority provision of the old law
IN certain isolated instances, these
including counties where the seat of
government was located off railroads.
Attorneys have said the law is un-
constitutional, and while five counties
contemplated starting county seat re-
moval campaigns under the provis-
ions of the act, they now will have
to abandon any such plans.

STARK COUNTY PIONEERS
MOVE TO PACIFIC COAST

Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin Webb, for
81 years residents of Stark county,
are soon to leave for Medford,
Oregon, where Mr.. and Mrs. P. F.
Close reside, Mrs. Close being their
daughter, and where they will make
their future home.
An auction sale was held at the
Webb farm near Richardton a short
time ago to dispose of live stock,
machinery, household goods and all
personal effects that the owners
did not wish to take to their new
home. The sale was very satisfac-
tory, amounting to over $4,000. Mr..
Webb had previously sold a part of
his land to Raphael Schnell. How
ever, he retains a section which has
been rented to George Massey.
Benz Webb expected to leave this
week for Lorain, Ohio, to visit his
two brothers and sister before going
west about the first of May. Mrs.
Webb will visit friends in Dickinson
a part of the time while her husband
is east: They plan to go to Oregon
via Calgary, where Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Webb and children reside, Mr..
Webb being with the Pioneer Tractor
Co. in Canada.
9r. and Mrs. BENZ. Webb were
alAong the very earliest residents of
Stark county, going through all the
varied experiences of pioneer days in
Western North Dakota. They are
highly respected people and their
many friends all over Stark county
are glad to know that. they have
been prospered and are now in a
position to take things easier than
they have in the past.
