this season to take the place of the
n burned. The Masonic order of
the place has interesting meetings
and is taking in a number of new
members this spring. They make it
especially pleasant for visiting broth
ers. One of the busy real estate men
of Bowman is Carl M Hjerleid, who
also handles fire insurance and the
local cooperative store and elevator
business. Druggist Hayward is do
who is with the Western Grain &
Lumber Co. Harry Stephenson is
still with the Milwaukee. J. o. Lytle,
another former Dickinsonite, contin-

One of the busy towns west of

modious newspaper office and dwell
ling apartments the coming season
Frank E. Willis, son Of one Of the
prosperous farmers Of the locality,
recently engaged in the real estate
and insurance business at this town.
Marmarth is a freight division
point on the Milwaukee, the same as
Dickinson on the Northern Pacific,
and is a place of considerable wealth.
The town is on the west bank of
the Little Missouri river and is truly
in need of the Yellowstone trail
bridge which is now in the curse of
construction The St. Charles hotel,
owned by the Phelans, makes n
think of Dickinson, and when we met
Jack Guth memory went back
to the time when he managed The
Grill for Charles Nolan. The First
National of Marmarth is a very
strong bank, having the following
we'll known officers: J. E. Phelan,
president; C.. P. Allison, vice presi-
dent; E. J.. Buell., vice president; P. j.
Hackl, cashier. Other directors in
the bank are: F. o. Barber, F. De-
Kleinhans, D. A. Stewart and c. J..
Phelan. The town also has a state
bank. C. P. Allison is n of the
largest sheep growers in North d.
kota, having 10000 to 1000 head at
his ranch out from Marmarth. He
has a beautiful home in town, and
many of our readers will recall that
he used to haul wool to Dickinson.
F. DeKleinhans is another. W: A.
Carter, commissioner OF Slope
county, has an immense general store,
conducted in an up-to-date style.
Frank Gibbs has a fine hardware
store, and Tom Stevens, formerly
manager of the George Burgess ranch
at Medora, has a fine livery barn.
The public school building and
grounds at Marmarth are we'll worth
a special visit of any person passing
that way. The trees and shrubs and
arrangement of play grounds are the
best that we have seen anywhere:
and the credit for getting the trees
belongs to J. H. Cramer. The Mar
marth Mail is owned by Mr.. Cramer:
It is and always has been a model
country paper-well edited and neat
in mechanical appearance: Mrs.
Cramer helps in the Mail office with
the books and operates their Limo
type machine. The Cramer residence
is a block back from the main street
and is another model home of which
Marmarth has so many for a new
town.
At Scranton is the home of Robert
J. List, the popular candidate for SEN
ator, also cashier of the First Nation
al bank. w. A. Shaw, a we'll known
stockman in early days, is president
of this strong bank; M. J. Swanson,
assistant cashier; Amos Crowl, clerk.
Charles Crowl is still in the hard
ware business, and the other twin,
Harry, is with the Scranton Brick Co.
Paul Schoen is the harness shop man,
and is always glad to see Dickinson
people. Scranton has two banks
newspaper and other enterprises
which 60 to make up a good business
Reeder is the home of J. L. Hort,
candidate for secretary Of state, and
another man who has never been
backward in speaking a good word
for the normal school at Dickinson.
This town has three banks, including
the Farmers e. Merchants OF which
O. H. Erickson is cashier. Miss
Fuller publishes the Western Call
and News, her father having the
Journal at Hettinger.
Hettinger is the county seat OF
Adams county and has an experiment
station, like Dickinson, q lake, three
banks, two newspapers, including the
Adams County Record, n OF the
Oldest and best on the railroad south.
The Adams County bank has a sur
plus greater than its capital stock.
Until recently o. B. Severson, a for
|mer Dickinson land man, was on
nected with this bank. Congressman
P. D. Norton and w. G. Wannemacher
are directors in this bank: l. NJ
Anderson is cashier. Mr.: Smith, for
merly with stores in Dickinson, is one
of the well-to-do merchants in Het-
finger. Ed. Barry has the leading
draw line and is one Of the local fire
men. DR.. Johns has turned his drug
store over to other hands and it IS
certainly a model place, really IN
advance of the town. The doctor
laughs when speaking Of his expert
ence with a former Dickinson pro-
motor. , ~
