WELDON e.!

Milbank this week extends the
hand of welcome to the Methodist
ministers of the Dakota con
ference, and invites them to
make themselves at home in our
little city. The conference en-
braces all Of the state east of the
Missouri river, and consists of
over 12O charges. The mem bers
of the conference are a fine
body of men, and our people
feel highly honored in having
the pleasure and privilege of
entertaining them, and showing
our respect for the great church
Which they represent. When
they return next week to their
several homes and appointments
we trust they will go with the
knowledge that the Methodists
and citizens of Milbank generally
have desired to make their visit
pleasant one, and that the
seventeenth annual conference
has been a profitable and enjoy
able one to them, as it certainly
has been to their hosts.

Spokane, w ASH, Oct. l, l

Spokane, Wash, Oct. l, 1901.
Herald Advance
According to agreement | will write
you a few lines. to let you know we
have safely arrived at Spokane. We
have not decided definitely where we
will locate, but think it will be here.
We came out over the N. p. railway.
There were 40 passengers from all
parts of the country, on our
train all looking up locations in
the west. All the trains that arrive
from the east have from ten to twelve
coaches, and there are four trains
daily. All crowded with people seek
ing homes in the west.
Spokane is city of about 10000
people. It is a fine city with all the
late city improvements. In fact |
the same size. All kinds of manufac-
turing going on and a very large
wholesale business The schools are
simply grand with a large attendance
and fine corps of teachers. | was
told that there are 56 churches in the
city and some of the buildings are
elegant.
Since coming here we have found
the climate without flaw and all that
could be desired The water is fine.
The Interstate Fair and the Elks
Carnival have just closed. The ex-
hibits of fruits, vegetables and !, grain
were exceedingly fine.
Next week | shall 60 into the Big
Bend country to look up land. Emf
grafton seems to be headed that way
Land can be had at prices ranging
from So to $50 per acre according to
improvements, and I understand there
are some homesteads to he had yet.
They do not irrigate and they raise
from 40 to go bushels per acre.
Some are finishing the harvest, al
though great many threshed a
month ago. Yesterday | saw a com
bination harvester and thresher run
ming. They had 80 horses and 5 men
to run it. It was the first of the kind
| had ever seen. One farmer told me
yesterday that he bought 100 acres for
$1,000. He hired all the work done
and his first crop paid for the land
and labor, and haahad a few hundred
dollars left. A few1nays ago | was in
an orchard where there were 80 acres
in apples. A great many of the trees
were broken fiat to the ground with
the weight OF apples.
There are people here from every
state in the union and from nearly
every country in the world, which gives
us quite q variety of population.
There was quite little excitement
here over the shooting Of President
Mckinley. There happened to be a
few anarchists here but they are
roughly handled. They are circulat-
ing petition now, to have the state
legislature prohibit anarchists living
within the state. | have been helping
get signers for this petition. There
was only one man that refused to sign
it and he said: He could not write
and would not sign it II he could. Y
He said that every man had right to
his own ideas and that he objected to
the American flag over the school
houses. Please send my ypaper OF Spo'
kane. Yours Resp'y.

Probably no one will be more

Probably no one will be more
surprised than Thos. II. Null,
democratic candidate for circuit
Judge, when he reads that he
had any thing to do with securing
a reduction in passenger and
freight rates for the people OF
this state Mr.. Null, as attorney
for the Populist railroad com
missioner helped that body squan
der nearly $4,000 of the states
money ina fruitless attempt to
beat the railroads in laWsuite.
That the money was spent for
junketing trips by the commits
sloner, for personal hack rides
and laundry bills and expenses
while lobbying at Pierre is an
old story After prolonged
legal fight with the railroad COM
panies, for which Mr.. Null was
literally paid, though the legis-
lature refused to pay him $4,000
additional which he demanded,
he lost in the fight. After Null
mad hopelessly lost his case and
the much desired reduction IN
railroads rates seemed far off,
Senator Kittredge conceived the
plan of presenting the matter to
the roads in a friendly spirit, and
with this object id view on Sept.
wrote to Gov. Herried that he
believed the time had arrived
for effort to be made TO
secure read]ustment Of the
rates. On Sept. 6 Gov. Herried
replied making an appointment
to meet the senator in Sioux
Falls Sept. 10. At this meeting
Joint letters were sent signed by
Senator Kittridge and Gov.
Herried 20 the presidents Of the
C. NJ. & st. p. Ry., G. & n. w.
Ry. and Great Northern Ky.
urging that concessions be made
in the railroad rates in South
Dakota that would be just and
and fair and that would remove
] all grounds of controversy be
tween the people and the roads
The presidents of the roads al
replied granting the request
) and arranging for a meeting
with the railroad commissioners
! for that purpose. Thus while
: Mr.. Null and his democratic
: friends had spent three years
r and large sums of money with
out any result whatever. Sena
| tor Kittridge and Gov. Herried
by good judgment and diplom
2 acy secured a reduction OF pas
: senger fare to 8 cents per mile
3 and a general reduction o.
9 freight rates without the ex
9 penditure Ct a dollar.
