Chicago-Sentiment in the grain

action of the markets in advancing

MILE RAILROAD PAYS
FOUR PER CENT ANNUALLY

The following is taken from the
Slope County News:
The following clipping was handed
in by George Giese, who thinks that
this is added proof that the farmers
of Slope county could make a paying
proposition out of the proposed line
from Dickinson to Bierman:
Spokane, WASH, Feb. 18.-There is
one railroad in the United States
without a single debt and that is run
by a bunch of farmers. The line is
eight miles long. 1t was concerning
this that the old railroad story was
told-It isn't as long as the Great
Northern, but just as wide. The road
runs from Waterville to Douglas and
meets all the Great Northern trains
at Douglas. The company was or
ganized in 1909 and has been paying
4 per cent regularly on it capitaliza-
ton of $4,000.

RECEIVES LARGE LIFE
INSURANCE PAYMENT

Last Saturday C. H. Starke, secre-
tary of the Dickinson Homestead of
the Brotherhood of American Yeomen,
received a draft from Des Moines,
Iowa, in the sun of $2,438.6O, in
surance o the life of the late Peter
H. Olson, who lost his life last fall
in an auto accident south of New
England. The draft was made pay-
able to Mrs. Hilda Olson, guardian of
Mural, Olive, Thelma, Inez and Leon
Olson, aged II, 9, 7, 8, and / year
respectively.
The late P. H. Olson was formerly
buttermaker for the Dickinson Cream
cry Co. He moved his family to the
Regent country some years ago, fin
ally engaged in the hotel business
there and about a year ago his wife
secured a divorce from him. He al
lowed the insurance, which he carried
in the Dickinson Homestead, to lapse,
but sometime last year wal reinstated
at the suggestion of Secretary
Starke. However, he never trans
ferred the policy, and after his death
Mrs. Olson, who had employed At
torney Starke to look after business
for her, was surprised to find that the
old insurance policy was in force at
the time of the death of her former
husband. In due time the probate
court of Hettinger county appointed
her as guardian of the minor legal
heirs which explains the reason for
the draft coming to ner at this time.
Necessarily there was some delay, as
| the Yeomen order had to proceed in
a legal manner in making settlement
under the Peter II. Olson policy.
The courts gave Hilda Olson a
which she and her former husband
conducted in a very. satisfactory man.
ner while supporting the children,
since the separation. is guardian
Mrs. Olson will have the right to
spend a certain amount of the t1sur-
ance money for the support of her
children and the same will surely be
a great benefit to this mother and
her children.
P. H. Olson was driving a Ford car
south Of New England last fall when
the machine skidded and he was
thrown in such q way as to break his
neck. Since the separation he had
been engaged in the we'll drilling
business. O. j. Olson, a prosperous
farmer in the vicinity of New Eng
land, is a brother of deceased.
The Dickinson Homestead has paid
at least three death claims now, the
George Drenkel in 1913 and r. H.
Brien earlier being insurance policies
carried here. Allen Harleman is
foreman of the local Homestead,
which has a good sized membership
Of both ladies and gentlemen. South
Dickinson also has a Homestead and
it ranks as M of the largest in point
of membership in North Dakota.

AikpLhi..i COST CUT
HALF FOR BIG FLEET
Prices May be Reduced Still
Further.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Manufacture
OF aircraft in great numbers under the
aircraft production board. it was learn
ed has reduced the cost of airplanes
one-ha.i. with the probability that the
cost price to the government eventu-
ally will be about third of the ncr-
nal cos. OF the machines before the
pans Of the board were carried out.
In addition. it was stated authori-
tativeiy that satisfactory progress was
being made with actual construction
insuring not only continuous supply
OF the machines now being turned out.
but also prompt delivery Of the ght.
ing types early next year.
The statement was made in connec
ton with published reports regarding
airplane contracts made by the army
and navy between September, 1916.
and May. 1917. tending to show that
the government was compelled by TIL
manufacturers to pay eXhorbitaEt
prices.
Compared with prices now prevail
ing. it was said the cost Of airpl2pee
during that neriod appeared excessive.
but the limited nature of the airplene
industry at the time naturally made
the output more costly. Thousands OF
machines are being ordered now where
a score were sought before.
