A Big Bonanza.

The Pioneer Press Co. has issued
new and brilliant poster advertising the
Weekly Pioneer Press for the season Of
1923. This paper is so well known
and appreciated as to hardly require our
hearty endorsement, but to those who
may not have seen it, if there are any
such in this county, we would say en-
phatically that it is by far the best
weekly in the west.
Its columns are full of well and care
fully selected matter, giving complete
and accurate reports Of the political,
scientific and business worlds. To some
Of its special features, such as "Hints for
the Household" "What Women Want
to Know" '"The Farm" Commercial
Review" ETC., we would call particular
attention.
Having effected very favorable club
bing arrangement with the publishers,
We are enabled to offer the Weekly
Pioneer Press and the CHRONICLE for the
very low price of $500 per annum, post
age paid. Sample copies of either paper
can be had upon application to the pub
fishers. Send in,your names.

Sioux City Journal. 10Th .

Sioux City Journal, 10th: Supcrin-
tendent Wattles Of the Pacific was in
town Tuesday and informed reporter
that the engineers who had run line
from Valentine west had found a much
better country than was expected
About fifty miles beyond Valentine
some sand hills were noticed, but other
wise the country exceeded expectations.
The route would not be particularly
difficult to build The superintendent
could not say how much. if any, beyond
Valentine would be built the coming
wear. The line run follows not far from
the north boundary of Nebraska to the
northwest corner of the state. The
range cattle business done by the road
this season had been very satisfactory
The road had got more of this business
! than it otherwise would, because of the
country north of Ogallalla burning over,
forcing the stock men to drive north
The range cattle business is mostly over,
but the native cattle shipments from the
! lower Elkhorn are coming on, and there
will be considerable corn and other
grain. In fact the out freight Of the
Nebraska division is good this season.

John b. Raymond Mak9s q Speech

The democratic journaI, throughout
Dakota have been indniging in facctous
squibs on the subject or Capt. John B.
Raymond's oratory. Bat on the 24th
inst he took all the pith and point ont
of their items. Metaphorically speak
ing, he threw a wet blanket on their
campaign "argHment' by delivering one
of the best addresses Of the present can
vass, at Il great meeting held at Cham
| berlain on that date. The audience was
treated to a genuine surprise by Ray
mOnd. II had been heralded that he
could not make q speech and would not
try. Upon being introduced to the au
dcncc he said after thanking the au-
dicncc for thci: fine reception:

terestel in common with the republican
party, in scoring a full vote, because
from the number Of ballots cast an
estimate Of Dakota's population will be
made for congressional uses. Since the
census and vote Of 1880 there has been
no reliable data which could be urged
upon the conservative east in support oi
our population claim. 1t is therefore
urged that both political parties cast a
full vote upon election day. Local and
territorial interests demand that this be
done.

BuGaIO Bill and sitting BuI,.

Buffalo Bill, (Hon. W. f. Cody the
renowned scout and actor, has made a
decided hit for the coming theatrical
season in employing the celebrated
Sitting Bull (the Indian chief who
slew Custer and his command on the
Little Big Hnrn) as one of his chief
attractions. Buffalo Bills success as
an actor adds an additional charm to
the romance of his lie as the greatest
of all living scouts and plainsmeu.
The Historical Publishing Company,
st. Louis, have issued a life of this
remarkable man, whose fame is even
greater than that of Daniel Boone OF
Davy Crockett, embracing also the
lives of Wild Bill, California Joe.
Texas Jack, Kit Carson, and other
great Indian fighters. 1t is a book o.
wild life on the plains, and must meet
with great popularity. The name o.
the author is j. W. Buel.
