man John Lind and c. J. Swanson Of Min
nesota and M. l.. Fox of Aberdeen, S. d.,
started yesterday from Miles City to work
their way down the Yellowstone river on
the north side to look UP land favora-
BILE for the location of a colony Of Scan
dinavan immigrants.
Room is wanted for about 5000 settlers,
and it is desired to find place where the
government and railroad lands may be
taken in quantities sufficient to accommo-
date that number. "
The prospective coionists have not yet
used their homestead and desert rights,
and should suitable location be found,
government land will be taken as home
steads and the adjacent sections of rail-
road land purchased so as to make a solid
block. If a location can be found along
the Yellowstone,a settlement will be made
either in Custer or Dawson counties.

life of Chanute. They will deter
mine in a great measure whether
we are to have thriving up-to-date
growing manufacturing center or to
sit quietly and watch our neighbor-
ing towns grow away from us. We
want in our city management lib
eral, active and aggressive policy.
A policy that is awake to all the
opportunities and possibilities Of
the future. A policy that will in
vite capital and investment and ex-
tend a helping hand to induce man
ufacturing interests and at the same
time not lavish with our resources,
but husband them and use them to
the very best advantage. So far
we have heard of but one active
candidate for mayor, that is d. M.
Kennedy.
He himself is not pushing his
candidacy but his many friends are
urging him to run and a petition to
that effect has been circulated. Mr..
Kennedy is surely one of the best
men in the city for the place and if
he will make the sacrifice it would
be deserved compliment to elect
him without opposition. AS yet
there are but few positive candi-
dates for places on the council, but
they will be springing up in the diff
erent wards and we hope careful
and worthy men will be selected,
who Will contribute their might to
the future greatness of Chanute.

The time for our city election
approaches. 1t is very important
that we secure for mayor and coun-
Gil the very best and truest business
men in the city. The business of
this city has grown to be an affair
of much magnitude as well as great
importance. The management of
the gas plant alone and the bust
ness connected herewith has grown
to immense proportions.
The cash taken in in small
amounts and disbursed on account
of the gas plant and water works is
$40, 900 per annum. This is a con-
siderable amount of money to col
lect and handle, but the business of
looking after taps extensions, mix
ers and the thousand and one
things that come up in the manage
ment of this large business requires
great deal of time and careful at
stention.
And now comes In our electric
light plant to be installed and man
aged and the sewerage system being
put in, contracts let and bills to be
audited and paid, all these in ad-
-dition to the little every day affairs
of managing young city, make it
of vital importance that we secure
for these places our most active and
reliable business men. The great
trouble seems TO be to get our bust
ness men to accept these places. A
man actively engaged in business
can scarcely afford to take the time
necessary to attend to all this public
business away from his own private
affairs.
We think the coming two yea rs
will be the important epoch in the

be hoped that the contagion will not
spread. We have heard of noses

of whole town being afflicted with
