D., March 13— How Dickinson won the selection, as epunty seat of Stark aounty, is re- called by Judge Fred ‘White of Ami- don, well know pioneer of the Slope country. “During an exchange of re- miniscences here with other old settlers, he said, in commenting on the race for Stark county seat honors: “This land (Hettinger county,) was made a part of Stark county because it was needed to make it appear that Dickinson was more centrally located than Richardton and was otherwise better suited to be the county seat.” The judge said that Mr. Houde- koeper, who was the owner of the “HT” ranch, was working to have the nty seat placed at Richardton, where his big company had its head- quarters, while “Cap” Hall and “Cap” Saunders were working hard to. make | Dickinson the choice, 1 | U. S. Aid Sought Then, Too “They had hard times in those days ‘also,” he remarked “and thoy asked the government to furnish aid to the; farmers by giving them free seed. Saunders and Hall circulated peti- tions and secured’ the signatures of many farmers on the application blanks for free seed and at the same | © time got them to sign the petition for Dickinson for the county seat. They took in a lot of territory to the south to make Dickinson centrally located ‘in the new county. “When the officials came” to: make the inspection which woould decide which of the towns would be most satisfactory for the cpunty seat, ‘they; came first to Richarilton and found very little doing. | Dickinson Puts Up Front “At Dickinson it was different. Hustling politicians had secured the whole south country. “Ranchers living in Hettinger courty and’ some from below the South Dkota line were in Dickinson/on the appointed day. They were all loading up great stores of goods for their r@ehes. Saloons and places of business were doing # rush- ing business. That was ‘Dickinson’s first “bargain day” and it was every bit as successful. as the one recently Jlate a petition and with the rfecessary number of signers will advertise a special election, when the voters may yote to approve the bond issue. The Roosevelt District is no ex- ception in having an indebtedness, ag nearly all districts in the western part.of the state have i d bonds for the same purpose, This is due ‘to lack of taxes ‘levied remaining unpajd for yarious reasons, the lack of funds propably the more preva- lent.

CLUBS CANVASS DICKINSON ON BUDGET SYSTEM Dickinson, N. D., March 13.—Com- mittees frém the Rotary and Town Criers clubs undertook a canvass of the city to learn the sentiment of bus- iness and professional men generally toward the propgsed budget system that has been Planned by both clubs; and which they hope to put across for the coming year. The budget as planned would put into a “community chest” approxi- mately $8,500 which would care for ali donations and funds needed for public entertainment. Already many of the business men have expressed themselves as belng} heartily in favor of the plan which would put all donations on an equit- able basis and relieve individuals of the attention of solicitors. 4 In Mandan, Williston, Minot and other towns of the state where the budget system has been put into ef- eo LANDIS WAS: POPULAR WITH NEWSPAPERNEN On Retiring He was Presented with Testimonial Hand Let- tered Around His Photo Chicago, March 13.—Newspapermen are supposed to stand by and smile at happenings and people in a cynical manner, according-to the popular be- lief.
