BEE CULTURE

Bees are indispensable to horti-
culture. Bee culture is not only
profitable but an interesting occu-
patton. A successful bee keeper is
we'll paid for the time spent; he
gets quick return on his invest
ment. Bees may be kept any
where-on the city roof, in the
village back yard. or in the gar
den on the farm. Bee keeping
may be followed by man or wom-
an, rich or poor, by young or old.
An awakened interested in honey
production is in evidence here.
The presence or the absence
of bees in an orchard often means
the difference between success
or failure with the CROP" says
DR.. J. H. Merrill. of the depart
ment of Agriculture.

COUNTY HAS FILLED UP
Lamar SpsrLs.)

Lamar Sparks
Sheriff Downing returned this
week from an investigating trip
which took him over a larger
part of Baca county. He says
it is impossible now to get out of
sight of a house in the southern
county, which is a great change
from the days when he roamed
over that section as a cow
boy during the 80s. Settlers
are found on every section and
most of them seem to be we'll
provided with stock and farming
implements. This also is in strik-
ing contrast to the settlers who
went into that territory twenty
five years ago, and indicates that
most of the present crowd are
real farmers who have come to
make homes and earn a living
from the land.

BUILDING AND LOAN ASS0,
IS WANTED At MANDAN

Mandan sees the advantage Of a
building and loan association accord
ing to the following in recent issue
Ct tie Daily Pioneer:
"Last month Dickinson organized
and put in operation an institution
that will mean much to the upbuild-
ing of that city, Building and Loan
Association. Two years ago similar
movement was started in Mandan but
the time did not seen auspicious for
going ahead with the association, but
now when there is great demand
for city property, and much building
projected there is no question put
that a building and loan association
in Mandan would not only meet with
approval among the people, but would
fill a long felt want.
The association at Dickinson start
ed out with subscriptions for 1927
shares of stock which it was expect
ed would be increased to 1000 when
the books were finally opened. Bis
marck, Valley City, Grand Forks,
Minot, Devils Lake, Oakes, Lisbon,
Pembina and Williston have flourish
ing organizations, and it would be a
good idea for the Commercial Club
to again take up the matter and see
if such an association cannot be put
through at this time.

Baby Girl Run Down by Auto
And Dies Soon After Accident
Montgomery Drove Too Fast

house reading a paper without the
aid of artificial light. He states that
the coat had been placed on the
baby and she had been kissed and
told that she could go out and play
for little while. He supposed she
was going to play with the other
children in the yard but she wand
cred a little farther into the street.
The mother was in a precarious con-
dition for several days the first Of
the week.
A. D. Davis, county coroner, sum-
moned Mayor Alfred White, F. w.
Turner and J. G. Quinlivan, as a
jury for the inquest held Monday
night in the office of H. A. Burge-
son, states attorney. T. H. Pugh ap-
peared as counsel for Thomas Mont
gomery.
Those summoned as witnesses were
Thomas Montgomery, F. w. Lacy,
Mr.. and Mrs. R. c. Horn, Pat Daily,
W. G. Peterson, Mrs. E. S. Stanton,
]. H. Lavine, .Drs. H. A. Davis, J.
w. Bowen and H. w. Long. Mr..
Montgomery stated that he was run
ming at speed of 80 miles per
hour and he thought the child was
hit by the rear part of the fender.
Several of the witnesses believed
that he was running much faster
than 80 niles an .-our. Anyway,
they were sure he was going faster
than they had ever seen car run
before.
The jury did not bring in a verdict
until Wednesday night, and this ver-
dict says that the little girl was hit
by Thomas Montgomery's car, result
ing in her death few minutes later.
What will be the outcome of the
killing of this child, the second per-
son to lose life from fast and care
less auto driving on the streets of
Dickinson, cannot be stated at this
time. The city has lodged a COM
plant against Mr.. Montgomery for
exceeding the speed limit and the
matter will come up on Saturday ac-
cording to the present understanding.
It was also learned Thursday that a
criminal action, probably at the in
stance of Mr.. Mcintyre, had been
brought against defendant.
While Mr.. Montgomery feels dread
fully about the accident and while it
is impossible to bring back the little
life so unexpectedly snuffed out, the
lfact remains that the driver of that
powerful Cadillac roadster is guilty
of criminal negligence. It is not
likely that any jury would wish to
send him to the penitentiary and yet
life has been taken through care
lessness and something should be
done to check the reckless driving
that has been going on the past
spring around Dickinson.
The present case is sad in the ex.
treme. It is likely that Mr.. Mont:
gomery, who has no living children OF
his own, feels just as badly as do the
father and mother of the little gir
whose body was laid to rest on
Wednesday.
Many of the Press readers will re-
call that Mrs. M. H. Linsley was the
first auto victim in Dickinson, the ac'
cident which took her life happening
just west of the public library.
A great many people are criticizing
the city authorities for allowing
people to openly exceed the speed
limit daily. A few arrests, it is true
have been made, but there are many
who have violated the law who have
not been noticed. If the law hao
been properly enforced all along the
past two months, the little Mcintyre
girl would likely be alive today.
The Dickinson press., 1916-05-27

A terrible accident happened on
West Willard street just at sun down
last Saturday night when the two
year-old daughter of Engineer and
Mrs. w. S. Mcintyre was hit by the
auto driven by Thomas Montgomery,
district agent of the Northwestern
National Life Insurance Co., resulting
in her death few minutes later.
AS near as can be ascertained the
accident which took sweet little
life, happened at 7:3O to TAO o'clock
on May goth, just at time when
it was commencing to get dark. Tom
Montgomery, who has reputation
for being a good driver and also for
fast driving, i..:vitei F. w. Lacy, of
the Western Union force, to take a
spin with him in his Cadillac roadster
around the square. The car was
taken out of the Turner garage and
both the men say that they do not
know whether or not the lights were
on. It was not dark enough to
really need lights anyway. The car
was sent up Willard street at high
speed and on the wrong side of the
street, according to the ,ight police
man, who states that he was trying
to stop the driver before he was two
blocks west from the garage. At
Marguerite Boulevard, w. C. Peter
son says he saw the Montgomery car
coming at such a fearful rate Of
speed that he ran his car outside
and gave it all the road. Two blocks
further west, or one block beyond the
Langdon corner, is where the child
was knocked down. 49,.
It was an exciting moment, one
never to be forgotten, when the in
nocent little one was hit. r. G..
Horn, who had been raking his yard,
was an eye witness. He was at
tracted by the speed of the car a
block or so away and was watching
it tear along. He had not noticed
the little girl in the road west of
him until the car passed where he
was standing just on the property
line and then he was Mortified to see
the danger she was in. In the
opinion Of Mr.. Horn the car was be-
ing driven at a speed Of around 40
miles an ;.our, arr. he thinks the un-
suspecting victim was hit by the
front part Of the right fender, prob
ably inflicting the bruise over the
heart and the crushed skull. She
was thrown back ten to twelve feet.
Mr.. Montgomery swerved his car
| to the left in an attempt to clear the
little girl. He states that he saw the
child a block or two down and
thought the object in the road was
possibly dog. The child had on her
brothers coat, darkish color, col
lar turned up, and at the time the
car was approaching had leisurely
taken few steps toward the road
side and as the car came nearer
turned and walked toward the center
of the road.
The car went on a block west be-
fore it could be stopped. Mr.. Mont
gomery and Mr.. Lacy came back as
quickly as possible, Mortified at what
had happened. In the meantime Mr..
Horn had called his wife. About this
time Pat Daily came onto the scene
along with others of the neighbor-
hood, and the almost lifeless body
was rushed to st. Joseph's hospital
in the Montgomery car. The baby
did not live more than 20 to 80 min
utes after she was hit and at no
time after the fatal blow was she
conscious of any pain.
When the father Of the little girl
was notified of the accident by one
of his sons, he was sitting in the

FIRST STATE ORGANIZES
RICHARDS IS PRESIDENT

A meeting of the incorporators of
the First State Bank, Grassy Butte,
North Dakota, was held on May oath,
for the purpose of selecting a board
of directors and officers. 1t was de-
cided to have a board of five direc-
tors as follows: w. L. Richards, M.
L. Ayers, Samuel Glerup, Samuel
Rhoades and Bert Waddell.
w. L. Richards was selected as
president: Sam Rhoades, vice presi-
dent; and Bert Waddel], cashier.
The Merchants National Bank of
Dickinson and the Merchants National
Bank Of St. Paul have been selected
as correspondents, and the Norwich
Union and Home insurance compan-
les have been taken for fire and hail
business.
The First State building will be
completed by the Heaton Lumber Co.
by the 10th of June and as soon as
the fixtures are received the bank
will open for business. The directors
are getting Manganese burglar
proof safe.
Among the stockholders Of the
First State will be found the follow
ing we'll known people in addition to
the board of directors: John F.
Davis, Mrs. T. H. Brien, Mrs. Mary
Crist, Fred Hoerauf, c. O. Arm
strong, Hayes Brothers, Brien Broth
ers, E. A. Lawhead, Jefferies Bros,
Joe Woods, w. C. Mckenzie, w. H.
Aehnelt and John Hoffman.
The organizers have intended to
place a liberal amount of the stock
of the First State with the settlers
of the Grassy Butte country, who are
il shape - :akc I've same, and :ney
find already that there is a demand
for more stock than they have to
place. A great many people living
in the east have written the organ
izers for stock in the First State
but it has been impossible to comply
with these requests. The board is
pleased to find that the people have
implicit confidence in the manage
ment of the new bank.
AS has already been stated in these
columns, Grassy Butte, part OF the
Mary country, is located in the
southeastern part of Mckenzie
county. The postoffice of Grassy
Butte is about % miles from the old
x crossing on the Little Missouri
river and 20 miles in westerly dl-
rection from Killdeer. In addition to
the First State Bank, general store,
Woodmen hall and blacksmith shop, a
newspaper was started this week by
VIM. C. Dennison. 1t looks as though
the place was destined to grow re-
gardless of the fact that it is an in
land town.
The directors and officers Of the
new bank at Grassy Butte hardly
need an introduction to Press readers.
The cashier, Bert Waddell, is possibly
a stranger to some Of the people OF
the First State Bank territory, and
for the information Of such it may be
stated here that he is a clean, cap
able young man, who has made his
own way in this world. He was in
the U. S. land office at Dickinson for
some years and for the past two
years has been employed in the Mer-
chants National Of this city.

Wor and tI,e Tariff

That the customs revenues have
fallen of thirty-threc and one-thlrd
per cent since the passage Of the I'm
derw0Od bill was shown by Represen-
tative Slcmp. as set forth in the fig
uTes OF the Democratic treasury Off
cIals. During the fiscal year 1915. a
full war year. the value or imports
fell off only one and one-half per
cent. as compared with 1912, but the
customs revenues fell of thlrty-nino
per cent.
Analysing the Democratic free list,
Mr.. Slenlp showed that 1t alone had
OccAsi0ned the government loss dur
ing 1915 of $4,000, 900; that the
loss of duties where the rates were
lowered amounted to SAG. 100000. n
total of $105.200.0O. That is, had
tho duties imposed by the Payne bill
been collected on The actual imports
OF the year 1915 the customs reve-
nues would have been Increased by
$l05,200. 900.
Taking the month of January.
1916. Mr.. Slemp showed that the inn
ports were the largest OF any Janu-
airy in the history of the country,
amounting to $1S4,192.00O, but the
duties collected amounted to only
$15.544.000; whereas in January
1913, the imports amounted to only
1929, 900, 900. Had the Payne bill
been in force s:ia customs receipts
for January would have amounted to
S31. 240. 900. or practically double
those collected under the Underwood
bill.
Mr.. sIemp shower further that at
the least calculation, the Underwood
bill is costing the government n loss
OF s14,O00,00 n month: that multi
piled by twelve this would give loss
of $168. 100000 a year, ut the pres
ent wartime rate of Importation; that
this amount II collected would be suf-
ficfcnt to meet the presidents pre-
paredness program of $4,000, 900.
and leave balance of $4,000, 900
which would warrant the repeal of
the Democratic war tax" imposed
not because there is a war but be-
cause the Underwood tariff bill is n
failure.
The repeal of the free sugar clause
OF the Underwood bill does not. Of
course, mean au increase of tariff rev.
enue, because that clause would not
go into effect until May ] but 1t does
obviate a still further. increase OF
the deficit.
