Mayor Brinton, and editor of the Chronicle, received
the following communication last Tuesday from Thos.
Cooper, land commissioner of the Northern Pacific Rail
Iway company, which explains itself:
Hon. J. W. Brinton, Mayor,
Beach, North Dakota.
Dear Sir:
The primary election for 1914
has passed and the political par
ties have chosen their tickets for
the fall election. The democrats
and socialists had no contests for
positions on their respective
ticket's in Golden Valley coun
fty, leaving the battle entirely to
the republicans who control the
county by seventy-five per cent.
The result of the election Wed­

St. Paul, Minn., June 22, 1914.
Referring to your correspondence with President
Hannaford in regard to right of way for the Beach
branch:
I am advised by our chief engineer that he will have
the right of way plats ready about the end of the week.
It is my intention as soon as I receive the plats to send
to Beach, Mr. J. L. Watson, principal right of way
agent, together with the right of way agent who will
handle this particular piece of work. It seems best that
we put one of our regular men who is experienced in
right of way matters to work with the committee in se
curing the contracts for the right of way and the deeds
which will follow later. I will wire you the date of Mr.
Watson's arrival at Beach and you can then arrange to
have the committee that has the matter in charge, meet
with him and make all the necessary detail arrange
ments.
Thanking you for your interest in this matter, I am,
Yours truly,
THOMAS COOPER.
U. S. Sentor
nesday in the county can be seen
in the table below, except for
commissioners and candidates
for superintendent of schools
which we give in another col
umn. It will be noted that some
of the contests were close and in
the matter of county judge it
took the last precinct that came
in to decide it.

Curl Surprises
His Friends
Defeats Egan for Commis
sioner in Every Precinct in
District, Winning Nomina
tion by Thirty-Seven Ma
jority.
The outcome of the com
missionership in the third dis
trict was a surprise even to
Curl's friends. Lone Tree was
claimed for Egan by a big ma
jority prior to election, and it
was a question if Curl could
pull enough votes from the
other precincts in the district
to overcome the lead Egan
would have in Lone Tree, as
manv put it. But the returns
told a different story. Egan
lost every precinct to Curl,
who is easily the choice of the
voters of the south end. Fol
lowing is the vote by pre

Lee Is Nominated
For Commissioner
Sentinel Butte Man Receives Big
Vote from Home People and
is Nominated for Commission
er in Second District.
The commissionership in the
second district developed into a
community contest, Lee receiv
ing practically all the votes in the
ninw townships lying tributary to
Sentinel Butte and Mr. Oech on
ly the vote in the other township
and a half. Sentinel Butte gave
Lee 50 out of 53, Sentinel 70
out of 74, and the four town
ships north of Sentinel Butte, 71
out of 82. "Jhe east half of
Beach Civil township, which is
also Sentinel Butte territory, also
voted solidly for the Sentinel
Butte candidate, adding 29 to
Lee's total. Oech received a to
tal of 55 votes in his township
and a half and Lee polled 220
in his nine townships.
Sentinel Butte is entitled to a
commissioner and they have de
cided that Lee is their man in no
uncertain terms and Mr. Oech
will be the first man to help elect
him this fall.

according to the Bismarck Tri

that Hanna and Helstrom will

for governor this fall. Hanna

Farmers Win
Over Kastien
Odland Wins by Safe Lead Over
Kastien Who Almost Loses
City of Beach—A Victory for
the Farmers.
One of the mcst spirited con
tests in the primary election last
Wednesday was the contest be
tween Lewis Odland and A. E.
Kastien for commissioner of the
gerrymandered first district.
Lewis Odland was brought out
by the Saddle Butte farmers and
L. A. Kirst was in the field some
time prior. It looked as though
the contest was going to be be
tween Messrs. Kirst and Odland
when A. E. Kastien threw his hat
into the ring, backed by Mark
Jones, Gallagher, Halliday, et al.
The farmers resented the entry
of Mr. Kastien into the field and
caused many to desert Mr. Kirst
in order to defeat Kastien with
the result that the latter only re
ceived 11 votes in the north terri
tory out of 100 cast. Odland
nearly carried the city of Beach
receiving 67 votes to Kastien's
89. The north farmers will now
have a county corrimissioner.
The vote cast Wednesday was as
follows:

The Beach Advance had a

manager and captain could direct
the plays from the background?
without being seen by the spec

upon the faces of some of the city
chaps. How could a well organ

the best talent known to the
game, and with plenty of substi

of accident, be outdone by an
aggregation of unorganized sod

only enough men to barely fill the
