non SO high a place in the
esteem of the house. He has the
Indiana faculty for close calculation.
He is not a chummy fellow and for that
reason he may never gain a popular
hold on his party, but he is bound to
grow as long as he remains a member
of the house and he will become more
and more a factor in legislation.
Hemenway will hardly develop into a
floor leader, for he lacks the snap and
pugnacity of a born debater, but he
will always be looked upon as safe.
He, too, is young enough to look for
ward to a career, but his ambition lies
in the direction of the senate or the
governorship of his state. Hemenway
and Overstreet come from adjoining
counties.

Protects Mortgage Holder.

Justice Pherson Of Lyman county,
a few days ago, made a ruling in his
court which will be tested at once,
and it is of vital interest to all home
steaders west of the river that it be
decided at an early date.
Ben Stahl, a homesteader, seized
two COWS which had broken into his
field and destroyed corn, and parties
who held a mortgage against the
stock recovered them on replevin
papers, the justice holding that a
chattel mortgage is prior claim over
all other liens of any class whatever.
AS a large majority of the stock
running on the range is under mort
gage, such a ruling would preclude
collection for damages, no matter
what the loss might be.

Gold Production,

The state mine inspector has issued
his annual report to the governor
for the year ending Dec. 1, 1903. The
gold productions for the year has
been $7,159,4oo.7o. The production
last year was 81, ,227.56. The shut
ting down of the Golden Reward
smelter at Deadwood in March by the
walkout of employees and it's contin-
ued idleness was the cause of the de-
crease. All other mines in the Black
Hills show an increase in their pro-
duction and there are three more pro-
ducers this year than there were last.

TWO new YORK HoteIs.

Only two hotels In New York resssss
to keep their register of guests open
and publicly accessible. These are the
Fifth Avenue and the Waldorf-Astoria.
The Fifth Avenue is a favorite resort OF
politicians, and its. guests sometimes
prefer not to have it known that they
are there. The Waldorf-Astoria has
made its way with leaders in haute
finance, with important and nnimpor-
tant persons, diplomats and mel like

intended as a protection to the guests,
but as a protection to the office staff.
Many business houses send circulars to
"hotel arrivals" when they can get the
names, and at the Waldorf this would
mean each morning the sorting D some
