BEACH BASE BALL TEAM
TO GLENDIVE SUNDAY.

With the advent of warm
weather, the base ball boys are
undergoing strenuous training at
the local ball park i'm prepara-
ton for the summers schedule of
games. The opening game, whicl,
was to have been played at Ollie
Sunday, has been postponed to a
later date. as the acceptance of
this date would prevent their
meeting the Glendive team until
along after in the season. AS a
result, the Beach boys will cross
bats with the GIendive aggrega-
tion Sunday at that city, and the
Ollie game will occur the Sunday
following. The trip to Glcndive
will be made by auto.
The weather up to a day or two
ago has been so cold and disa-
;greeable that none of the staff of
pitchers had been unable to de-
velop many fancy stunts, but with
the present weather conditions,
if the boys can get in a few days
work as contemplated. they should
be able to give a good account of
themselves. Batting practice has
been the main workout. and the
boys have shown an ability to
sting the ball hard. They will
give a good account of themselves
this season.

Old Indian Fighter
Gone tohis Reward
S. S. Campbell, Member of Sully's
Brigade in 1861 and Former
Resident, Dies at
Rochester.

S. S. Campbell, a former Gold
cn Valley resident, and survivor
of Sully's famous expedition
against the Indians i'm these parts
in 1861, died suddenly while at
tending church services Easter
Sunday, death being occasioned
by heart failure. Mr.. Campbell
for the past four years has been
making his home at Rochester,
ILL.,, where death occurred, and
will be remembered by many of
our readers, having at one time
farmed near Sentinel Butte. He
paid this locality a visit last
October.
Mr.. Campbell participated in
the famous battle of the Killdeer
mountains, where Sully's COM
mand was engaged by an over
whelming host of the Indians.
So strong was the attacking force
that the soldiers, numbering as
they did two brigadcs of $500
men, we'll equipped with guns
and ammunition, had put up a
stiff fight lasting over a day to
rcpcl them, even though the In
d:ans, with the exception of few
who were armed with muskets,
i'm the main depended upon bow
and arrow warfare. Later, Mr..
Campbell was a member of 4
force detailed TO accompany 500
rmlnigrant wagons OH their way
to Idaho. At Flat Top butte they
We're again attacked by large
force which they succeeded in
rcpellipg. The Indians were push
ed back to Beaver Greek, where
they finally left them, Beaver
creek at that time being tho
boundary line of what the Sioux
termed their territory.
Making their way to Fort
Ecrthold, they were again attack
ed by the Blackfeet. At that time
Fort Berthold was a French
trading post, the French laying
claim to this territory. In 1866
he returned to Fort Smelling,
where he was mustered out.
During his period of service
Mr.. Campbell kept a complete
diary of all incidents which took
place and the places visited.
Among them were the Golden
Valley as it is now called. This
diary has since been placed with
the State Historical society al
Bismarck, and contains interest.
ing historic information of the
happenings here at that time.
Mr.. Campbell was a brother
in-law of w. r. Pcndergrass OF
this city, who did not receive
the news of his death until this
week.

FINE ARTS FEATURE AT
BEACH OPERA HOUSE

A new Triangle star and an old
favorite are the promotion possi-
bilities of striking importance
suggested by the current Griffith
Ince-Sennett releases. First to
mention is Marie Doro, the form
er Charles Frohman star, who is
devoting a year to the new mo-
tion picture art. Her services were
acquired by the Triangle for the
Griffith feature, "The Wood
Nymph," a beautiful story of
fantasy, whimsical comedy and
unsual scenic settings. In addi-
ton to Miss Doro there is Will
lard Mack, who has already ap-
peared with signal success in pre-
vious Triangle star combinations.
Marie Doro has been before
the public for several years in
one way or another. She was an
humble member of Charles
Frohman musical comedy COM
pany when the late manager
lifted her from the ranks and
made her star in a dramatic
production. Her great beauty
laid the foundation on which her
talent has created a lasting rep
ultation as a sincere and artistic
player. This combination of
beauty and ability finds in the
films a congenial outlet. "The
Wood Nymph" supplies a medi-
um that gives ample opportunity
to this favoritc player. Miss Doro
is an innocent girl who knows
only the methods of the ancient
Greeks i'm which she has been
trained by a mother With a near
to-nature trend. From her home
in the woods she sallies forth in
search of her Apollo, whom she
expects to find in a tree. She finds
plain Bill Jones, a hunter, who
appears in response to her call
and clapping of hands. Before
their different spheres are recon-
ciled and their romance ready
to bud there is a wonderful for
est fire in which mother and
daughter and the members of the
hunting party narrowly escaped
with their lives. All this gives
play for much clean comedy and
superb photography.
Into this combination Griffith
has introduced a distinguished
cast. Frank Campeau, previous
ly seen in 3'Jordan Is Hard
Road" has a small but import
ant part. Wilfred Lucas, feat
ured in ''The Lily and the Rose,'
and soon to be a film star in his
own right, is cast for a role that
requires powerful dramatic act
ing. Charles West is Plain Bill
Jones and Cora Drew the mother
incidentally "The Wood Nympli''
presents Miss Doro to the public
for the first time since her own
romance in real life.

improvements
Under Way
], p. Reeve Breaks Ground for
New Store Building on
Blanche Street.

Springs balmy breath, long de-
ferred, has at last arrived, and
now that the weather has become
settled and the cold, blustery
.breezes have died away, Beach
echoes with the sound of the ham,
mer and saw. Although the pre-
sent is cleanup week, it could
properly be termed improvement
week as we'll, for it marks an era
of summers activity which will
mean much for Beach in a con-
structive way.
Probably the most pretentious
building projected at this time is
that of ]. p. Reeve, who recently
purchased the lots directly north
of the First National bank. Con-
siderable speculation has been
rife since the purchase was made
by Mr.. Reeve as to the nature OF
the improvements to be erected
thereon, it having been said that
Mr.. Reeve, in company with other
parties, contemplated the erect
ion of a modern hotel.
All speculations were set to
rest when Mr. Reeve made known
This plans for the erection of a
handsome two-story double-store
building, so foot front and 100

be of brick, and will be modern

the work of surveying the prem
ises Wednesday and C. j. Raw,
the successful bidder for the ex-
icavation work for a nine foot
basement the full size of the
building, commenced work this
afternoon. Over 1000 yards of
dirt is to be removed, and Mr..
Raw has a large crew at work
hurrying the excavating along to
make way for the foundation
work.

Cleanup Week
Is On In Beach
Back Yards and Alleys Are Un.
dergoing Complete Spring
Regeneration by
Citizens.

AS the Chronicle goes to press,
the cleanup week movement is
on in full blast, and the citizens
of Beach are making a strenuous
campaign for city cleanliness.
Back yards and alleys, cellars
and Easements, attics, barns and
outhouses-all are showing signs
of the cleanup fever.
1t is impossible, of course, that
all the work needed to effect a
transformation for the better can
be done in one week. Enough
impetus has been given the move
ment, however, to keep things
moving for some time. as ii
should. The close of cleanup
week should not mean the aban-
donment of the movement.
"Even though the formally de-
clared cleanup week is nearly
ended, there should not be let
up until the whole city shines
with cleanliness-and then kept
|clean," said Health Officer DR.. Fl.
B. Muscus. Every citizen should
take a personal pride in the APP
pearance of his property-not
alone the front yard, but the
back yard and hooks and cram
mics as WELL" Anything that
would be a reproach to your
ncighbor should be reproach
10 yourself.
Now that the good work has
gotten such a splendid start. and
The work thus far accomplished
has demonstrated what can be
done, let every citizen of Beach
cooperate to complete the job,
and then keep things clean.

by the American standard Of living, and that their hours Of labor
should be reasonably short.
The eight hour day has long been considered by theorists as
most desirable; eight hours for labor, eight for rest and sleep, and
eight for refreshment and the pursuit of personal desires. 1t has
long been claimed that in factories the working people can and do
accomplish as much in an eight hour day as they formerly did in
ten.
The railroad employees cannot expect to equal the output of ten
hours in eight because the running of trains is not the same as
manufacturing. But doubtless the managers will be able, after a
time, to adjust the schedules and intricacies to the new order
without 50 great a loss as at first seemed certain. Efficiency oan
