NOT AFRAID OF RoJEsTvENsKY
Destruction of the Port Arthur Fleet
Makes Victory Sure.
Toxic, Dec. 1O.-With the Russian
SECOND Pacific squadron approaching
those in Toxic cannot comprehend the
failure of the Russians to do more
damage with their Port Arthur fleet.
! 1t was expected that Stoessel would
have inflicted all possible damage on
the japanese fleet, even ut the cost
Of weakening the effective garrison.
But it seems that no attempt was made
even to get the ships out Of range of
the japanese guns.
Now that the Port Arthur fleet has
been disabled it is deemed impossible
for the Russians to overcome the in
feriority of the second Pacific squad
ron to Togo's fleet, unless-at present
unforeseen-th Black sen fleet should
pass the Dardnnelles.
The understanding here is that Gen
eral Nogi will attempt no further
costly assaults, but starve Stoessel out,
1t being considered perfectly safe to
leave Rojestvensly's fleet to Togo.

the President recommends that,

recommendation above stated, in a
recent interview at Des Moines in
which he said:
President Roosevelt could not
have suited me better in what he
has said in his message on the sub
ject Of federal regulation of inter
state commerce matters. He has
stated the case plainly. He has
pointed out in few, but emphatic
words, just what is wanted. 1t
shows that he knows what he is
talking about and has considered
the subject carefully. He has
spoken firmly and his words ought
to be needed. The influences which
surround the members of congress
are such that the proposition will be
hard fought. The atmosphere at
Washington is different from that
out in Iowa. / will say this, how
ever, that / shall consider that if the
delegation from Iowa does not heed
the words Of the president and sup
port him in this they will not be
representing the sentiments of Their
constituents. I am ready to go even
farther than this, and will say, that
unless congress needs this message
of the president and makes provision,
and that right away, for some gov
eminent regulation of interstate
rates, we will have government
ownership Of the railways. Unless
we get government control, we are
going to have government owner
ship-and / am not sure but that
we will have the latter anyway. But
of this | am sure, that the people
will not much longer tolerate condi
tions as we find them now. There
is not another nation on earth that
would tolerate a system under
which few men meet and fix rates
for all the shippers of the country,
who fix a tax upon the people APP
preaching two billion dollars year,
and allow this to stand without re-
view of any kind nor subject to any
modification. The action of the
railroad men themselves has made
government ownership very easy,
and unless something else is done
it seems almost certain to me that
the people will finally insist upon
ownership

full. The Record says:
We note that the Dicky county papers

there, and are talking up the ticket for
the approaching elections. Miss Flora
B. Mcdonald, the Latin professor in the
State Institute at Glendale, is spoken of
as the strongest nam likely to be placed
on the republican ticket for superintend-
ent of schools. From what we know of
said nominee, and we have known her
from childhood, her intellectual talents
and attainments, her scholarly ability
and accomplishments make her the most
prominently we'll qualified candidate
that can be placed on any ticket for such
position. If Miss Mcdonald may only
be induced to let her name stand for the
nomination. her election is a foregone
conclusion. The Record congratulates
Miss Mcdonald, and hopes to see her
elected by a very large majority next

THIS week sees the wool tribu-
tary to Dickinson nearly all sold.
The price has been higher and
more satisfactory than in any prev
ious year. The highest figure paid
was 1ec and the average price has
been about 17Hc. Great Falls is
the only place in Montana that
has paid as high as 1oc this year,
and our people are to be congratu-
lated upon the splendid market
that they have had. The fact has
been appreciated by ranchers liv-
ing at a distance, many of whom
have hauled their wool 100 miles
to take advantage of the Dickin-
son market. The woods were light
and of a very fine quality which
naturally had something to do
with the good prices which pre-
vailed. The quantity of wool
grown in the immediate vicinity
of Dickinson has probably been
20 per cent. less than what it was
a year ago owing to the unusal
losses of sheep among the growers
last winter, but the extra amount
from a distance marketed here
this season will bring the sales up
to about the same figure as in 1908,
or something near two million
pounds.

Dickinson Lost at Bismarck.

The Dickinson ball team played a
series of three games in Bismarck the
past week and lost every game, the first
two being shut-outs.
The second game on Sunday, was as
fine a game as is often witnessed.
Howells pitched for Dickinson and the
score was 3 to o in favor of Bismarck.
The Tribune spoke highly of the work
of our pitcher but did not consider that
he had good support.
The game on the 4th, the last of the
number, was one the Dickinson boys
wanted very much. A new pitcher from
Renville, Mimi, was imported and he
did not do very much. The Tribune
said of him: "Jones is a colored south
paw. The Bismarck team bumped him
for fifteen safe hits, sending him to the
tall timber. Jones is only a selling
platter"
The day before the Bismarckers made
only three hits off Howells.
Our management thought the Bis
markers a little strong in their business
methods, but they have a reputation as
such and probably do not look at it as
our people do.

Base Ball, Balloon Ascension and Parachute

Indians and Dickinson Team Will
Battle for Honors on That ay,

The Dickinson Base Ball club has Sc
cured as an attraction for Wednesday
July IL, the Sioux Indian base ball club,
which is making their seventh annual
tour of the states and Canada. The
Sioux are without doubt the strongest
Indian team that has ever gotten togeth-
er. In 1903 they only lost forty games
out Of 2Io played. They are all genuine
red men and as husky a lot of players as
one would care to see. AS an advertise
ment the Indians have secured one Of
their fellow braves to fill a bill that's far
more dangerous than playing ball. Choc-
taw, the bravest Indian that ever wore
buckskin, will allow himself to be placed
in a cannon, which will be attached to a
balloon, and when 1000 feet up in mid-air
he will explode a dynamite cap which
fires him land his parachute out into the
world. For a few moments Choc-taw is
completely obscured from the report OF
the explosion, but in a short time he can
be seen performing on the handle bars
just as though he was ten feet from the
ground. You may never have a chance
to see this sensational performance
again. 1t isssalmost too awful to witness
