STOCK MARKET
STAGES RALLY
Brisk Demand for Oil Shares
Stimulates Prices Down
All Lines

New York, Aug. 3.-(R-A brisk
demand for the oil shares based on
expanding earnings as q result of
the recent increase in commodity
prices, featured the resumption IT
the upward drive movement in tc .
days stock market. The rally,
which ran from / to 6 points in
many issues, followed an early per-
iod of irregularity in which the mar
ket was called upon to absorb
heavy volume of selling as a result
of the large increase in brokers'
loans and the more stringent regula-
tions of the New York clearing
house association.
Lowering of the call money rate
from z to 61k per cent stimulated
the buying movement. Publication
of another batch of favorable semi
annual earnings reports, and the
cheerful tenor Of the weekly trade
reviews also helped to revive bullish
enthusiasm.
Atlantic Refining, after running
up more than 6 points, ran into
heavy profit-taking, but the other
oils, particularly the refining issues,
ton climbed AZ points and Union oil
of California, Pierce Oil preferred,
Mexican seaboard and Sun oil ad-
vanced 2 points or more.
Motors responded to reports of
heavy midsummer sales Of new
cars with Chrysler in the forefront
Of the advance. General Motors was
a bit backward on selling inspired by
rumors that directors might defer
the declaration Of an extra cash di.
vidend until liter in the year. In
ternational Nickel, Trico Products,
Coco Cola, Warner Bros. pictures,
National Distillers, Johns Manville
and American radiator all advanced

Rails were quiet despite the pre-
diction Of President Loomise Of the
Lehigh Valley road that the anthra-
cite carriers would show marked i'm
provement in the last half Of the
year.

1.-THE smile that won't wear off"
was aptly coined for Howard H.
Ellsworth.
It's smile that is as big as the
gigantic railroad system that the
man works for.
It's smile that is known from st.
Paul to Seattle and that is cherished
in North Dakota because it was nur-
tured in this state.
Mr.. Ellsworth was recently APP
pointed assistant general freight
agent of the Northern Pacific with
headquarters at St. Paul.
Howard" as everyone knows him,
was born in Fargo. Nov. II, 1888.
When just year old he was taken
to jamestown where he started grow
ing up with the railroad.
Towards first N. +. pay check
was earned as call boy at the
jamestown yard office. That was
in 1906 when he had just turned his
18th milestone.
Wins First Promotion
| His first promotion came Is
months later. He was named helper
at Sheyenne. His next step up the
ladder was at Cakes as telegraph OPP
orator. He came to the Bismarck
country in 1909 as agent at Sterling.
Howard became the first agent at
killdeer when the north branch of
Mandan was completed. Besides
representing the Northern Pacific.
he found time to be manager of the
first baseball team, president of the
town band, secretary Of the Town
Criers, member of the killdeer Fair
association, motorcycle salesman and
local chairman Of the Dakota Divi-
sion of the Order Of Railway Teleg-
raphers for which organization he
secured 100 per cent membership.
Howard wound up his career in the
Bad Lands by donning the mayors
robes. When he left, killdeer had
to elect new mayor, a justice Of the
peace, postmaster and bank director.
That was in 1922.
Goes to St. Paul.
Then st. Paul met Howard. He
acted as travelling freight .gent of
] the Minnesota division for one year,
went to jamestown as travelling
freight agent Of the Dakota Division
and in 1926 was named freight agent
at Fargo.
At Fargo he was high priest and
prophet OF FL Zagel shrine, chairman
Of the YIN. c. A. membership com.
mittee, junior warden of Auvergne
Commandery No. 2 of the knights
Templar. industrial secretary Ct the
Fargo chamber of commerce. presi-
! dent of the Freight Station Agents
association and member of the Fargo
! Aeronautics club. He was instru.
mental in the building of the munich
pal airport at Fargo.
| And with all these activities, Mr.
Ellsworth still had time to win his
promotion to the general offices Of
the Northern Pacific in St. Paul.
Mr.. Ellsworth is brother Of F. C
Ellsworth, business manager of Thu
Bismarck Tribune company.
He is married and has three chill.
dren.

WILLIAM COOK
ARRIVED HERE
So YEARS AGO
Burleigh County Bailiff Rode
Covered Wagon Into Bis
marck in 1873

William E. Cook has been in Bis.
marck IS years today.
Bill and his close friend, Johr
Sunderland, trudged into Bismarck
on the morning Of Aug. 8, 1873. Bill
was II years old then. They walked
up a dilapidated staircase back OF
the Bismarck Tribune building, ther
on the corner where the Webb build
ing is now, and were promptly
kicked down the stairs by an angry
printer"
Bill, who has been bailiff in Bur-
leigh county district court for over
Is years, came to Bismarck with his
parents in a covered wagon from
Goodhue county, MINI. The group
left home July !, spending a month
on the trip.
Families of Charles Nichols, John
Nichols, Henry Arnold, and Charles
Martin accompanied Cooks family
on that trip. There were about 20
in the small group. Mrs. Charles
Pierce and Mrs. Charles Blunt. Bis
marck, are children of John Nichols.
The veteran bai!iff tells stories Of
pioneer days in Burleigh county that
make "your hair stand on end"
When he first came, the site
where the Lucas store building now
stands on Fourth street, was the
toughest spot in town." In that
block wee Jack O'Ncil's dance hall,
Seventh Cavalry Saloon, Jack Cham
pion's dance hall, and Pete Branni-
gan's saloon. Men were shot in
those four place almost every night
in the early days, Cook says.
Antelope and buffalo roamed the
hills near here in herds. Buffalo
meat was available for every meal"
said Mr.. Cook.
Bismarck has changed almost un-
believably. The Northern Pacific
railroad had reached the city in
June, 1873. All the buildings were
log structures. People lived in
tents until cold weather came. River
boat traffic was heavy. There were
no building at the present site OF
Mandan. The ferry crossed the
river five miles south of Bismarck a,
the site of Fort Abraham Lincoln.
Indians, who came into the settle
ment by the hundreds to trade furs
for coffee, tea. rice. and potatoes
rarely molested inhabitants here be.
cause of the protection afforded by
the soldiers at the old fort.
Farming of grains on large scale
hadn't been started here when ths
bailiff arrived.
When Bill was 10 years old he be
gan farming and rancling on 16,
acres four miles north Of the cit.
He farmed for 20 years. He says
the biggest crop North Dakota evel
raised, was in 1882. He raise! 10;
bushels Of oats and % bushels o.
wheat to the acre.
Wheat sold for 30 cents d bushel
butter for IL cents pound. ant
spring chickens for Is cents each il
those days.
Bill was IA when Clusters arm,
was massacred in Montana in 1876
He took care Of Comanche, Colone
Keogh's saddle horse, for a month
after the massacre. Comancl.c

Forty years after, Herbert

GRAIN MARKET
DROPS LOWER
Declines in Liverpool Market
and Beneficial Rains Are
Reasons

Chicago, Aug. 3.-(R-New low
price records for all deliveries of
wheat this season resulted today
from exceptionally favorable crop
news and from slackness of export
demand. Corn prices also turned
weak, and December corn represent
ing the new crop now in the field
sold down to nearly the lowest price
so far this season. Shipping call to-
day here for corn was only moder-
ate.
Wheat closed heavy, 11sc to &c
net lower, corn 1Mc to 43sc down,
oats b@A to 12c off, and pro.
visions at SC to zoe decline.
Houses with connections north
west were conspicuous today on the
selling side of the wheat market.
Meanwhile, in addition to declines
in Liverpool wheat quotations, crop
reports were also in favor of sellers.
Canadian advices, especially, showed

Bumper prospects for corn yield
were reported today as having been

tions of Iowa sent word that the
crop is now practically perfect. Be-
sides, arrivals of corn in Chicago
today were somewhat larger, 100

market appeared at times to be less
aggressive than has been the rule
