new ICE PLANT IS
NEARLY COMPLETED

The new ice manufacturing. plant
now under course of construction by
the Dickinson Ice & Transfer Com
pany is rapidly nearing completion,
although the work has been necessarl-
ly slow during the severe cold wealth
er. There is some work yet to be
done on the roof before the building
is completed and some inside finishing
to be done. There has been some
delay in getting the so horse power
motor that is to be installed as the
motor was larger than is carried in
stock and it had to be built to order.
When this is received the work OF in
stalling the machinery will take only
about ten days.
To guard against a shortage of ice
for early spring use, the company. is
putting up about $4,000 tons OF ice
in their large ice house which will no
doubt be sufficient until the plant is
in operation. The company hopes to
have the plant running in good shape
some time in May.
This is the first ice manufacturing
plant to be erecter in North Dakota
and Dickinson naturally feels proud OF
the fact that we lead in this industry
as we'll as a great many others.

vlction of seven negros. Two of the
bad men, Faley and Hall, drew death

two were convicted of first degree
murder and punishment left to the
judge and the other two got second
degree convictions. The murder was
committed last fall, Freeman, one OF
the three white men attacked ano
robbed by the band of negroes, was
shot in the back, and his body thrown
from a train moving at a speed OF
80 miles an hour

LAWYER PURCHASE UP FOR
SENTENCE FILES MOTION

Pleading guilty to the charge of
embezzlement last month and when
arraigned before Judge Nuessle at
Bismarck Wednesday afternoon for
sentence, Attorney Geo. H. Purchase
of Halliday filed a motion to arrest
judgment on the ground that in
formation to which he pleaded guilty
was insufficient. The court took the
matter under advisement and will
probably give an opinion within a
week.
Delay in passing sentence was to
permit the attorney to return to his
home at Halliday and raise money to
refund creditors the various amounts
alleged taken. This he had promised
to do at the time of entering his plea.
Purchase was prosecuted for the al
legged Interpretations Of funds OF a
certain estate in which he was acting
as attorney, the amount he is alleged
to have appropriated to his own use
being about $4,000.
Later reports are to the effect that
Judge Nuessle denied the motion for
an arrest Of judgment and that Pur-
chase will receive his sentence on
February 3rd. Sentence for an Of
tense of this kind is from n to five
years.

THE DICKINSON BUILDING
AND LOAN ASSOCIATION
SHOWS SPLENDID GROWTH

The secretary's report to the board
of directors of the Dickinson Building
and Loan Association, shows that the
organization has enjoyed an excep-
tional growth since its organization
in May last. Although no paid can
vasser or solicitor has been employed,
there are now about 140 shareholders,
owning in the aggregate about l,5O0
shares of stock, each share OF which
has a par value of $500.
Over $4,000 has been loaned to
members on first mortgage loans, Sc
cured upon city real estate. Nearly
all of the money borrowed by share
holders has been used for the erection
of new buildings or the repair and
clearing up of their old homes. These
loans, including the interest, are be-
ing paid back at the rate of $l3 per
month for each $1,000 loaned.
Despite the heavy organization ex-
pense, a dividend Of 7 per cent was
declared to the stockholders at the
January meeting of the board. This
is a remarkaple showing for an or
ganization that has only been in ex-
istence for eight months: 1t took
the Bismarck Building and Loan AS,
ISOLATION three years to reach the goal
that the Dickinson association reached
in eight months, so far as the assets
are concerned.
The same officers who held office
last year were reelected, as follows:
J. V. lessen, president; Judge Fred
Maser, vice president; John Orchard,
secretary, Welton Mcdonald, treas
rel
The secretary informs the Press
that all who purchase shares before
January 25th, will participate in the
full earnings for the entire year OF
1917. This will undoubtedly prove a
strong inducement to many people OF
the city who desire to become mem:
bers and participate in the earnings
of this splendid financial organization

CARTER PRESENTS
RELIC NEWSPAPERS

Judge Carter, who has for three
years been in the office of Governor
Hanna, has presented the Historical
Society with several copies of the
Dickinson Daily News, printed in
July, 1894. Editor Ayers of the
Press and the judge issued the paper
during the strike which tied every
thing up in those days. It is very
small, only two columns wide and
about six inches in length and four
pages. There was very little print
paper in town and no way of getting
any, besides there was little news
The judge also gave the society an
other relic. It was a newspaper
which was issued during the winter
of 1883, by a rancher near Dickinson.
The editor, whose name vas Parsons,
and who assumed the non de plume
I'd. c. Sparrow" in his columns Sc
cured some print paper, which he
ruled in columns, then with a lead
pencil he inscribed an artistic heading
"The Sum-" and wrote the news of the
neighborhood, each week, taking the
copies to town and distributing them
among his friends. The circulation of
"The Sun" seldom exceeded a dozen.
but it was quite an effort at that
The columns were wide, with three to
the page, each page being about II
inches in length. The work evidenced
thrift and enterprise on the part OF
the man who issued it. Several copies
of the News and the Sun: are now the
property Of the Historical Society,"

THE SPIRIT OF ENTERPRISE

1t is an interesting problem in bust
ness psychology to determine why
people trade at one store rather than
another. Prices, location, quality, r
all vital, but not the whole thing.
The wide-awake manager of a real
store m down town full of the
spirit of enterprise. He does not ask
to be sure of two dollars back before
he will spend one. "Start something"
he calls out to the boys, and o o the
place radiates his pushing personality.
His first move is to spread the
news. He finds this or that line in
his store where he got unusual val
ues, or something he wants to turn
into cash. He realizes that the public
will never know what he can do for
them unless he takes some pains and
goes to some expense to inform them.
By persistent advertising he gives the
public the news Of his store. Pretty
soon the impression is spread abroad
that it is a store where there is
"something doing"
The American people have little use
for inactivity. They are little for the
business man who sits down and
waits for opportunity to knock and
business to come. They will go out Of
their way to trade with a mar who
seeks their trade and shows some
spirit of push.
The one way to convey this impress
sion is of course to advertise. Circu-
lars don't give it to any large extent,
as they are so apt to be thrown
away unread. While the circular re-
poses all crumpled up in the waste
basket, the newspaper remains on the
parlor table until the whole family
has been through it.
Solicitation from door to door if
done by a tactful and competent man,
gives an impression of enterprise.
But advertising is twenty times
cheaper and quite as efficient. 1t
spreads the news all over and makes
a man seem like a pusher instead of a
waiter.

The necessary repairs following the
fire at Peeler's market are being
rushed and some important changes
are being made in the business room.
The partition is being moved farther
back and more shelving put in and
Mr.. Peeler hopes to have the work
completed very soon. Previous to the
fire he was somewhat handicapped for
lack Of floor space but with the new
improvements being made he will
have an up-to-date business room.
His stock will be enlarged and new
fixtures added which will make this a
very fine market. "Ss a

now that all the work is inside, it
will be rushed to completion as rapid
ly as possible and the firm will be

PAINFULLY INJURED
IN DYNAMITE BLAST

While engaged in mining coal at the
Nels Nichols mine at Medora last
Saturday, John Engbrecht of this city
was painfully injured by an explosion
of dynamite. Mr.. Engbrecht had
placed a charge of two sticks of dyna-
mite in the mine and one. stick failed
to explode. He waited what he
thought was a reasonable length of
time for the fuse to have burned out
and approached the blast, arriving
there just as the second explosion
took place. He was painfully injured
about the head and face and it was
feared for a while that his eyesight
had been destroyed. His hands and
arms were badly cut and bruised by
flying pieces of coal and frozen earth.
He was given immediate attention
and later brought to the hospital in
this city, where he is slowly recover
ing.
His eyes were literally filled with
small pieces of coal and he is suffer-
ing considerable pain as a result Of
his injuries. It will take some little
time for his numerous wounds to heal.

DICKINSON FARMER
FALLS FROM MILL
BREAKS PIGS BACK

Bismarck Tribune: H. Henry, a
farmer living in the western part Of
the state, near Dickinson, fell from a
windmill he was repairing and landed
on a pig, breaking its back. Henry
sustained a broken leg. The commo-
ton started his horse which in turn
frightened a colt that jumped a fence
and ran into a clothes line fastened
to a post. The post was hurled
through the air with such force that
it killed a cow.

Holu the MistLetoe
Came to Mean
Kissing

We decorate our homes with sprays
of mistletOe at Christmas time, but
few Of us know the history of it as a
Yuletide symbol. Pretty girls are
kissed under it and a great deal of fun
and nonsense are carried on apropos of
it, but no one stops to think of how
ancient Il decoration it is or how SacreC
1t was once thought to be. The ancient
Celts in their Drudical religion had
two great festivals. one in June and
the other in December, the latter being
equivalent to our Christmas. In both
of these great festivals the gathering
of the mistletoe was sacred rite.
The Druids believed that potion
prepared from mistletoe would in.
crease their tlocks and that the plant
was remedy against all poison. 1t
was believed to be curative for many
Ills, and this belief is still to be found
in many remote places in Europe. In
Lacaune, France, for example, it is
always administered by the native
dwelers as an antidote for poison.
In the northeast of Scotland people
used to cut withes Of mistletOe at the
March full moon; these they bent in
