GROOM LOSES RING
But BRIDE HAS IT

The marriage of Miss Ruth Hoguc
and Cecil Roy Baker was consum-
mated at II o'clock Thursday morning
at the home Of the brides parents,
Mr.; and Mrs. H. A. Hogue, Rev. j. G.
Dullng performing the ceremony.
The home was tastefully decorated in
a green and yellow scheme, chrysan-
themums being prominent. Large
Whlte bells depended from the ceiling
and under the largest of these was
the ceremony observed. Only a few
close friends Of the family were pres
ent. After the marriage, luncheon
was served and at it's conclusion, the
bride, attlred in modish travelling
gown of black, matched by a hat of
the same color, and accompanied by
the groom and the Immediate friends,
drove to the station. The young
couple left on No. 2 for a brief
honeymoon, after which thew will set
tie on Mr.. Bakers farm near
Edmunds. The out-of-town guests
were: Mr.. and Mrs. McKechnie of
Bismarck, an aunt, Miss Mary Beatty
OF harrington, and Mrs. McIlonie, a
sister of the bride, who lives at Ed
munds.
Mrs. Baker is vivacious little lady
with a large following of friends in
this city. A graduate of the local
high school, she has been teaching for
the past few years. It was while at
Edmunds that she met Mr.. Baker and
the ceremony of Thursday is the cul-
mlnation of the friendship which be-
gan where her home is to be. Mr..
Baker is a progressive young farmer
with a host Of friends who, we under
stand, are lying in wait for his return
to Edmunds.
The brides brother, Edward, who is
a chauffeur for the Dickinson ice &
transfer Co., secured the company's
truck and on this, accompanied by
friends, the young couple rode to the
station, objects of about a barrel of
rice, recklessly handled by those
aboard. A laughable feature of the
ceremony was that part where the
ring was called for. The groom had
it not, nor could he remember where
he had placed it. When CONSERVATION
guests, the bride blushingly olsen
gagged the ring from her own finger
where it had been ever since the
groom had been practicing that .fea-
ture of the ceremony.
Among the large number of pres
ents received was a Liberty Bond
which came from an uncle.
The young couple leave Dickinson
bearing with them the regard of the
major portion Of the townspeople and
The Press gladdens to bear with them
in their happiness.

Burleigh County
Grades Bad Slough
Improves Red Trail

Motorists who frequent the Red
Trail in the vicinity of Bismarck will
learn with pleasure that the notorious
Fields slough has now a grade run
ming across it. Fer the last three
years, this spot has nearly always
been under water and motorists were
forced to detour from that point. The
grade is now raised and easy trans
portation is promised by Sunday.
The hill on the cast side of the bog
has been cut down and the fill is sew
eral feet above high water mark.
The commissioners plan to surface
five miles Of the Red Trail with
gravel each year until the road is
completed throughout the county.
With the grading Of the Red Trail
at this point, motorists will find the
thoroughfare in good condition clear
across Burleigh county. That county
has 1000 miles Of highway, 400 miles
of which have been turnpikcd ard
graded.

NeU Signal Corps
ArOuSeS Interest
More Applications

Interest is developing in the train
ing school for the signal service Of
the army which is projected for this
city. Mayor White has received ad-
ditional applications for entry. The
last two that arrived came from
Leslie Bird Of Haynes and Erwin
Kelly of Oakdale. Manager Hoffman
of the Western Union was also inter-
viewed by two prospects for the serv-
ice. G. E. Barnes of Beach and MI.

BOOSTERS TO
PUT RED TRAIL
IN PUBLIC EYE
COMMERCIAL CLUB TO USE TAN
LEVY IN ADVERTISING RE-
SOURCES OF AUTOWAY
Club Votes to Send Christmas Pack
ages to Boys in Trenches-Home
Guard to Help

The Commercial Club met Wednes-
day and discussed two propositions
worthy of note. A small attendance
made the meeting informal, yet the
subject discussed were worthy OF
deep interest by every member. The
first question taken up was the pro-
ject of raising fund to provide
Christmas presents for the boys at
the front and in the camps. 1t Was
decided that, at the next regular meet
ing of the Home Guard, the latter
would be called upon to provide a
fund which would be expended by the
ladies in buying presents for the
Dickinson boys who are dong our
fighting for us. Everything to be
sent will be purchased from local mer-
chants. Let every member OF the
Loyalty Lea que be present next Mon
day night equipped with the funds he
can spare for this purpose.
The other question that was dis
cussed was our lethargy in the matter
of the Red Trail. We are neglecting
our opportunities in that direction, SO
it is said. Though Dickinson really
led in the movement to swing the Red
Trail through this section another
move must be made by the same city
to hold the trail as the favored
thoroughfare Of motorists. The
statutes give us the privilege of ap-
propriating one-fourth OF mill for
publicity purposes and we have been
sleeping on the job. J. P. Cain and
John Orchard were selected to meeC
the county commissioners at their
next regular session this month and
to take up with them this proposition.
Later, at a meeting Of State Conmls-
sioners to be held in January at Fargo,
final arrangements will be made.
The money received by this levy will
go toward defraying the expenses in
CURED in the publishing Of advertis
ing pamphlets, citing the advantages
of the Red Trail over those of the
Yellowstone Trail. The managers OF
the latter have paid boosters at both
St..Paul and Miles City who distribute
literature and direct motorists over
their trail. The Dickinson CONNER
cial Club believes that with active in
terest from the dozen other clubs
between Fargo and Glendive, the Red
Trail will hold it's present patronage
and build to tremendous possibilities.
Logically situated now as the better
of the two roads, there should be
little trouble in establishing that fact
in the minds of all motorists passing
through this part Of the country.

PIONEER VISITS HERE

D. j. Turner Of Wisconsin, father of
Fred Turner of this city, who has
been visiting his son, returned home
last week. Mr. Turner settled at
Medora just after the Civil War, be-
fore that town was then known as
such. Mr.. Turner recalls the day
that the Marquis de Mores shot and
killed William Lovley and wounded
Ed. Mcdonald and man by the name
of Wanigan. The trouble arose over
the refusal of these men to allow the
Marquis stock to range over their
land. The grave of Lovley may still
be seen west of town.
Mr.. Turner is a veteran of the
Civil War and recounted many tales of
the days when turmoil and strife
ruled.

CAPTAIN BARKER WILL
NOT BE SENT INTO THE
EUROPEAN TRENCHES

Word reaches US that Captain c. N.
Barker of Company K, a most eff
cient officer, who has seen service on
the border, has been physically dis
qualified. However, he will not lose
his command though it is an assured
fact that he will not be permitted to
enter the trenches. The many friends
of Captain Barker will regret this as
much as does he because they realize
that a man of his type would dis
tinguish himself in active warfare and
strengthen the valor of Americanism.

To Pay Largest inheritance Tax.

10 ray Largest inheritance ak.
The largest inheritance tax ever
levied on any estate in Wisconsin was
fixed when the tax commission an
nounced that the state had assessed
the estate of James Hobart Moore, the
Chicago financier, 1864, $50. The estate
of Mr.. Moore is valued by the COM
mission at $12,16O,OOO. If the Moore
estate pays this tax within the year
it is entitled to a per cent discount,
which would make the net amount due
the state 1914, 133. Moore lived at
Lake Geneva, Walworth county.
Of this amount collected the state
gets 921a per cent, or $32O,173 and
Walworth county the remainder, $685.
900. The state money goes into the
general fund.
The Moore estate, with the eXcep-
ton of about $125,OOO in real estate,
consists of personal property mostly
stocks and bonds. All of this prop
erty is taxable in Wisconsin, with the
exception of railroad stock, which is
taxable in the state wherein the rail
road is incorporated.
The next largest inheritance tax
ever paid in Wisconsin was that levied
on the estate of James S. Kennedy,
New York, and amounting to $3.50, 000
The estate Of Lord Strathcona paid a
tax of $4,000.
The work Of valuing the estate and
levying the tax was done by John
Harrington, special attorney of the
tax commission, who has charge of
this work.
