Court Decides MiddIc-of-the-Rond
MnN Anucnr ns pOnnlisIs.


DES MONIES, Sept. 21.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The state election board today
handed down its decision in the controversy
between the rival factions of the peoples
party for the right to have their tickets
placed on the ballot under the party name.
The decision is in favor of the boilers,
headed by A. w. C. Weeks. The board
hands down a long opinion. 1t holds that
the regular convention was held in due form
and that that party undoubtedly had the
right to use the marty name II 1t had chosen.
But instead II saw fit to fuse with the dem-
ocracy to adopt democratic principles and
nominate the same ticket as the democrats
The middle of-the-road element was left as
the only exponent OF the principles of the
party. The regulars by fusing with the dem
ocrats had forfeited the right under the law
which will be in effect at the time of the
election to have their ticket placed on the
ballot; hence they had no use for the name.
The boilers are, therefore. decided to be
entitled to use 1t.
The attorneys for the fusion state com,
mittee will at once begin a certiorari pro
ceedings before the supreme court to deter,
minc the rightfulness of this decision. Tho
matter will be reviewed by the court in the
October term, which begins soon, and there
will te vigorous legal contest on the ques
tions involved The fusionists denounce the
decision as an unmitigated outrage.

sible to over-estlmate the possibilities OF this
companyS future operations in that locality,
as well as in the mining districts Of the north
ern hills Ovc- forty miles OF irrigatng
canals. with more than 100 miles OF lateral
bitches. have transformed between 20 600 and
25 900 acres OF desert land into the most pro
ductve farm acres. and new projects of the
same character, which are now on foot are
OF still greater magnitude. According to the
plans for new system of irriga-
tion, which is now under way,
one storage reservoir will consist
OF GAO acres with water to a depth OF eighteen
feet In the system now complete there are
four storage basins, one OF which covers 100
acres and contains an average of twenty feet
OF water. One hundred thousand dollars
will be expended in the new system this fall.
Edgemont is natural manufacturing point
and the exto sive sheep grazing districts OF
wyoming, which are near at hand, guaran-
tee a perpetual supply OF working material
for the large woolen MILLS built by the Edge
mont company. The finest grindstones in
the world are produced at their factory, and
the quarry yielding the stone is said to
be wonderful In the extent and quality Of
Its products. lneXhaustible beds of iron ore
in close proximity of the town will supply
foundries OF all kinds, and there Is abund-
ance Of the peculiar sand required by glass
blowers This junction of the b. &. NJ road
is but a short distance from the great Cam
bria coal fields of Wyoming, which fact as
cures an abundance OF cheap fuel for the
operation of smelters and factories AS was
demonstrated in an article In last weeks
Mining Review, there are hundreds of thou
sands OF tons Of smelling ore in sight in the
different developed sections OF the Black
Hills much of which can be proftably
worked at the new smelter at Edgemont, but
is of too low grade to permit Of the long
freight haul to eastern smelters. AS a GUS
tom mill of moderate charges the modern
affair OF the Edgemont company will be the
means of opening up many of the districts
which are now practically idle, and while 1t
cannot fail of adding to the dividends of the
Edgemont and Union Hill Smelling company,
it comes as a Godsend to countless small
mine operators in the Black Hills.
Edgemont is already a beautiful place,
with splendid stone buildings, perfectly paved
streets and exqusitely planned artificial
lakes and handsome parks.

Savings of Ireton. or these, the German
Saving, of Des Moines has been reorganized
and reopened. The report says:
THE present report indicates beyond ques-
tion, not only the return of full confidence
in our banking and financial institutions, but
also an ease in the money market such as
this state has not experienced in several
years. The increase in available cash held
and the increase in deposits amounts to
$1,476, 1O0.37. The following shows the per-
centage of the deposits held by the banks
available cash for series of years:
1892, 25 per cent; 1898, 10 per cent 1894, 29
per cent; 1895, 21 per cent; 1896, % per cent;
1897, 2S per cent, 1t will be seen the banks
now hold a larger proportion of available
/ cash than at any time except in 1894 when
the panic compelled them to fortify them
selves with cash in order to prevent suspen-
sion on account of sudden Withdrawals"
The following statement is made for the
