YOUNG COUPLE MARRIED
At HIGH NOON JUNE 29

The home Of Mrs. C. NJ. Lytle at
115 Second Avenue West, was the
scene of a quiet home wedding at
high noon on Thursday, June Goth,
when Miss Marjorie Rachel Lytle be-
came the bride of Milton Freeman
Skoglund, cashier of the State Bank
at Gascoyne, this state.
Rev. A. Coffin, rector of St. Johns
Episcopal church, performed the cere-
mony in the living room and it was
witnessed only by immediate relatives
and few close friends of the bride.
The young people were unattended
and the bride wore handsome
travelling suit of blue taffeta, light
shoes and large becoming picture
hat of black.
Pink and white carnations deco
rated the living and dining rooms and
were laid tastefully on the large
dining table where covers were laid
for ten at a four-course luncheon.
Pretty pink place cards we're used
and the dinner served by the brides
mother
Mr.. and Mrs. Skoglund left in the
afternoon on a wedding trip of sew
eral weeks, to be spent partly in Min
neapolis, and partly at the groom's S
former home at Brunswick, Mimi.
They will camp for a week beside a
nearby lake and on their return will
be at home to their friends at Cas-
coyne after August first.
The bride has been numbered
among the talented young ladies of
the city, being a 1912 graduate of
the Dickinson high school. She has
resided here for nine years, coming
from La Crosse, Wis. She is the
youngest daughter in the family,
very taking, and enjoys a very wide
circle of friends.
Mr.. Skoglund has been at Gascoyne
for the past seven years. He is an
enterprising young business man and
is very popular in his community.
Out of town guests who were pres
ent at the wedding were the BRIDES
father, H. 0. Lytle, Of Bowman and
L. Feahbine, a close friends of the
groom.
The affair was complete surprise
to the many friends and acquaint-
ances of the bride, as it was expected
to occur later in the summer but the
young couple kept everything quiet
and they were off on No. before
hardly anybody knew what had taken
place.
The Press joins the many friends
of Mr.. and Mrs. Skoglund in wishing
the young couple happy welded life.

SPIRITS HIGH
AS OUR BOYS
AWAIT: ORDERS
MANY PROMOTIONS FROM
COMPANY X ALREADY. HAV-
ING HARD DRILLS.
Many Letters Received Indicate
Boys are Getting Ready to Leave
Fort Lincoln.

Sunday morning saw nearly the
whole city at the depot to witness
the departure of our soldier boys for
Fort Lincoln. Company K reported
that morning at the armory at 500
o'clock promptly and were very busy
until train time arranging details.
Headed by the Dickinson band they
marched from the armory to the
depot, where many touching scenes
took place as the boys were given
(perhaps) the last farewell by rela-
tives and friends. Some girls who
had brothers or sweethearts in the
company, stayed aboard after the
boys had entrained and the train had
to stop in the yards to let them off.
It is these scenes that make all
humanity realize that the soldier
does not go through hardships and
suffering of war alone.
It seemed hard for the people to
realize that our boys were called and
were going to see actual service, but
after orders came to recruit the COM
pany to minimum strength and re-
port, people began to wake up to the
fact that the boys were really going.
All of Basketball Team and Coach
It is interesting to note that our
entire high school basketball team OF
last year and their coach, J. L. Nom
son, are numbered among the men,
bers of Company K, and went down
with their comrades on Sunday. They
had been together in many a hard
fought battle on the gymnasium floor
and now in case they are called to
active service will again valiantly
fight side by side; :.
Last Thursday evening Company 4
was invited especially as among the
guests of honor at the reception
given by the girls Of the D. Y. w. A.
The citizens Of Dickinson gave the
boys rousing mass meeting at the
armory on Friday evening, when the
sum of nearly 5000 was raised for
them.
The meeting was opened by Mayor
Alfred White and several Of our
prominent citizens, including Attorney
IThos. H. Pugh, Major A. J: Osborn,
Rev. R. H. Craig and Father John
Dignam, gave short addresses, which,
rang with patriotism. The boys were

Crowds were gathered at every sta

Salem. At Mandan we were joined
by Company F, and the whole regl-
nent is now in camp.
On Sunday there was some contus-
ion and delay in getting proper tent
are and food, but things are getting
settled and we expect them to be
working more smoothly as the men
become more accustomed to the work.
The greatest need of the company
at the present time is MORE MEN

Head-On Collision
Ties Up Traffic
Impact So Great Engines
Gould Not be Pried
Apart

A bad head-on collision on
the Great Northern at Egan
Wednesday morning at 5 A. M,
tied up traffic for more than
twenty-four hours. Two heavy
freight trains collided at that
point with terrific impact, caus-
ing the derailment of eight cars
and the ripping OF the tracks.
The big engines were locked
together so tightly that the
wrecking crews found it inn
possible to pull them apart, SO
they were sidetracked at Bel
ton.
One engineer was slightly in
iured and a brakeman sustained
an injured ankle. We under
stand that the members of both
train crews jumped from the
trains before the collision oc-
Cured. Overlooking of orders
by one of the engineers is given
as the cause of the wreck.

Sutherlin Disguised

Editor R. N. Sutherlin of the
Rocky Mountain Husbandman,
Register of the Great Falls land
office and one of the leading
democrats of Montana, is very
much disgusted over the Inter
ior Departments very miserly
attitude toward the appropriate
ing of funds for the completion
OF the Sun River project and the
withdrawing of much irrigable
land from under the project.
The Pioneer Press does not con-
cur IN the views of Mr.. Suther-
lin with respect to irrigation in
general. But as a pioneer west
ern man who has seen Montana
in all varying weather moods,
and as a man of the finest con-
Sclentious scruples, we have al
ways respected his opinions.
We have always believed, too.
THAT IL any portion nf Northern
Montana is actually in need of
irrigation it is that same Sun
River section. And in sweep
ing aside policy and politics to
frankly express a sincere con-
viction, the venerable editor of
the Husbandman has apprecia-
bly, gone up in our esteem.

les there was a mirthful social

Both Bridges Out

Both the wagon and railway
bridges over the Marias river
below Shelby went out last
week. Trains on the Great
Northern were detoured via
Havre for several days, but
traffic was resumed over the

commissioners of Toole county
had Just finished paying for the
wagon bridge when the ice
going down river swept it off
its moorings, so the county will
have to assume another burden
in replacing it.

announcement

For the past three years the
Pioneer Press has maintained
the lowest subscription rate of
any eight-page paper in this
county. We made it a policy
to allow persons who paid their
subscriptions at any time with
in a year from the date on
which payment was due this
reduction. We were glad to be
able to grant our subscribers
this privilege at a time when
print paper was much lower
han at present.
Since the beginning of the
new year print paper has near
ly doubled in price. The only
W ay to meet this condition
without positive loss is to re-
store the old price, $500 per
year-and even with this ad-
vance the margin of profit in
the subscription end will be
wiped out if prices continue to
advance-and reports from the
paper houses are not at all as
suring.
In order to give our subscrib-
ers an opportunity to take ad-
vantage of the present rate, we
have set March 10, Friday, as
the final date for paying sub
scriptions under the present
rate. Those who desire to do
so may pay under this rate fol
as many years as they desire
We have taken this step re-
luctantly, but circumstances
have made it imperative if loss
in this end of our business is tt
be averted.

Paper Prices

| SCCS
| The uncertainty of conditions
in the paper market, the irreg-
ularity and extreme advances
in prices and the difficulties
that attend either the purchase
or sale of paper under existing
war-ruled markets are well set
forth in the following interview
given the Great Falls Tribune
by j. j. Flaherty, vice president
of the Great Falls Paper COM
pany:
There seems to be no limit
to the sharp advances in all
grades of papers. roofing mater
ial, etc. Daily this office re-
ceives Withdrawals of prices or
telegrams quoting new or high
er advances. These advances
come from every class Of paper
manufacture. Some of the
most powerful and strongest
mills have withdrawn their
prices entirely.
The manufacturers lay the
cause of the rising paper prices
to the shortage of chemicals,
clorine gas, sulphite bleach,
soda ash, rags, clay, aniline
dyes. etc. In some cases these
materials have advanced in
price as much as 1000 per cent,
and any single item over 20
per cent.
Fine printers bonds and flat
writing papers, as school papers,
have advanced several cents per
pound.
Roofing papers and prepared
roofing have advanced approx
mately 10 per cent, due to short
age of rags, rosin, chemical oils,
etc.
Paper bags, especially genu-
inc kraft bags. have advanced
as high as 40 per cent in two
months. Wrapping papers show
an advance of approximately ~
cents per hundred pounds.
The paper market is in a
chaotic condition. and it will
continue in this unhealthy con-
dition until our chemists can
produce these chemicals at a
low price in large commercial
quantities. There is no let-up
to the present high prices that
all well informed paper experts
write this office. This condition
in the paper line is another
direct result of the European
war. Prices will without a
doubt be much higher before
the summer months.
