ROUSING RAILROAD
MEETING HELD AT
LEFOR LAST WEEK

An enthusiastic meeting was held at
Lefor on Thursday of last week to
discuss ways and means for the con-
struction of the proposed Dickinson
Lefor-New Leipzig railroad, which, if
built, would open up a wonderfully
fertile section of country to diversi-
fed farming. Much interest was
shown in the meeting and a large
crowd was in attendance, despite the
stormy weather.
The main purpose of the meeting
was to discuss the route of the pro-
posed road, and to put before the
people an idea of what has already
been accomplished in the line Of
survey work, the securing of right of
way and other concessions. Maps,
plans and blue prints were gone over
and discussed in detail.
Adam A. Lefor, Nick Reiner, Rev.
Andrew Kolbeck, John Engel, Jr.,
Ernest Biel, Frank F. Lefor and
others spoke in favor of the propo-
sition and much interest was mani
Tested by those in attendance, judg-
ing by the number of questions .sked
and suggestions made. ~
A stock selling plan was formulated
as follows: = Each farmer residing
within six miles of the proposed road
to subscribe for stock on the basis of
$1.O0 for each acre of land that he
owns. This plan seemed to meet with
the approval Of the 125 farmers in
attendance, and about $4,000 worth
of stock was pledged right on the
spot.
Meetings for the further discussion
of the work has been scheduled as
follows: Schefield, March 3rd; St.
Micheals, March 18th; Villa, March
18th, and New Leipzig, March 18th.

Interesting History of The
Famous II 7 Horse Ranch

later succeeded by W. G. Clark, who
had much to do with the Gladstone
barn operations and also with the sale
of the ranch lands in later years to
Pabst, the brewer.
The following paragraph is by G.
S. Cryne, the Stark county historian,
now located at Lehigh and formerly
of Gladstone:
"The H T ranch was sold to Fred
Pabst a number of years ago and the
horses were also sold at that time.
The management, about eighteen
years ago, built at Gladstone four
large barns and number OF other
buildings, including the office build
ing and a cook and dining house.
The establishment was simply colossal,
comprising a steam heating, electric.
and straw and hay cutting, feed
| grinding machinery, and the whole
, menange was on the scale of a
millionaire's device for spending
money. A whole block (block IL }
was occupied besides a part Of block
9, where the cook and dining house
was situated. The barns would house
about 300 to 400 horses and the
whole thing was under the superin..
tendency Of man by the name OF
Woo.lman. Frank Roberts, a well
known ranchman, was the foreman at
first with Peter Roth (now in the
banking business at New Salem) as
secretary or clerk. The outfit EN-.
ployed some twenty men who were
supposed to fetch the horses from
the range (H T ranch), house them
in the barns, handle them and parti:
ally break them so that they coulc
be transported to A. C.. Huidekoper's
Meadville (Pa.) home, where the fin
fishing touches were given to them al
far as getting them fit for the genera
market. was concerned" .sg.zys $780,

Bismarck Concern
Establishes Agency
Here For Overland


Lair Motor Sales Company of Bis
marck, was in this city Wednesday
afternoon and announced that the
company is to establish sales sub
agency in Dickinson under the man
agement Of Peter. J. Schumacher.
While definite arrangements have not
as yet been made for office and stor-
age room the company has one or
two places in view that will be suit
able for present needs and one of
them will be occupied during the
coming week. Mr.. Schumacher came
up with Mr.. Meade from Bismarck
and returned the same day to make
preparations to move his family to
this city.
The Iahr Motor Sales Company has
the distributing agency for Overland
cars and is one of the biggest insti-
tutions of it's kind in the state.
Local agents are distributed through
out the territory but for the past
year or more Dickinson has not been
represented. Mr.. Schumacher recent
ly came from Alberta, Canada, where
he was in the selling game for Over
land and Ford cars and is a thorough
and practical man in that line of
work.
This territory includes the central
portion of Stark county and the
southern portion of Dunn county
north as far as Manning. Other
local agents are located at Belfeld
and Taylor. A car load of Model 30
Overlands has been shipped to this
point and will be on display here
within a short time. Among the cars
handled here will be the Model 80,
the factory price of which is $665, the
Country Club at $3.50, the Light Six
at $685. and the Willys Knight Four,
a. seven passenger car, at $1285.
