lguS Efforts.
Swell House Warming for Brown
County's Splendid
Courthouse.

The Aberdeen business mems ann
nual banquet will occur this year in
Brown County's elegant new court
house. 1t is timed to take place after
the completion Of the beautiful deo-
ration OF walls and ceilings, and be-
fore the placing of the wood furniture
screens and partitions, so that the
spacious elegance Of the rooms can
show to the best advantage. Profess
ional and business men and men
more or less distinguished by official
positions everywhere throughout the
territory tributary to Aberdeen ara
being diligently sought out that they
may be invited to come to Aberdeen
Thursday evening, FEBRUARY 1S, to
partake of the Hub City's hospitality.
There will be ample room and lavish
good cheer for all who come in res
pOnse to invitations.
Delightful as these banqnets have
been heretofore it is confidently as
serted that the boys are going to out
do all previous efforts. They say
capital politics and every shade OF Or
dinary politics are strictly tabooed.
It is to be entirely an oc-
casion of social amenities. The busl-
ness men Of this commercial center
would win the good VIII
and esteem Of theirguests, and incl
dentally siren CITIZEN tleir business
connections.
Aberdeen has grown much of late
not only by the erection of cozy home
and stately edifce, bat in wealth,
business and prestige, and with par
donable pride wishes her neighbors to
come and see her and congratulate
her.

Two Center Shots from Ver-
million Republican.

The Clark Republic Courier is cour-
teously but clearly informed that it
miSunderstands The Republicans
position on the capital question: e., !,
we do not consider single argument
in Pierrc's favor, save the barren one
of being in the geographical center of
the state; nor do ye support Mitchell
simply to cater t., home sentiment,
though we, iki!lit lhAt it is pleasant
to have Tic endorsement of seven
eighths O. m'}r ronple in this matter,
We viii! gebaruund to d presentation
of onr views on this capital controyer-
sy soon as the weather wakes warmer.
The Redfeld Press believes honesty
is the best policy in the capital cam
paign. 1t hints that, so long as Red
field would have expected the solid
support of Mitchell in case the former
had been the successful legislative
caucus candidate for capital, so, in
turn, Mitchell has moral and every
kind of a right to expect the aid of
every Rcdtield voter. And the Press
is just correct, in the premises. Red
field and Huron, in all events and
under every consideration, should
stand fairly and firmly by Mitchell.
We have no doubt this is the avoWed
epurpose and determination of the
great majority of the voters in both
OF these cities.

Fulton Advocate: The following
from late Sioux City Tribune is sig
niticant. Pierre has been Boosting
of the great number of people who
have taken. and are taking homeSteadS
across the Missouri The objet Of
this talk is apparent. 1t is intended
to create an impression that the land
west OF the Missouri is being rapidly
populated by actual residents, who
will be on the ground next November
to cast their ballots for Pierre. Asa
matter of fact the actual settler in
that part of the state is the exception,
while the speeulator. who expects to
get his land as these Sioux Cityans
expected to get their land, is the rule.
Such settlers are of benefit to no one,
except the land shark, and buta very,
very few of them will be Oh hand to
vote Under the late and more liter
al rulings of the general land Office in
reference to the character Of the
residence required, the number Of
/
lwill lessen rather than increase.
Pierre win have but little help from
the trans M issouri country Butlisten
to the tale of woe as told by the
Tribune:
| Something like a score of 500 City
men are receiving the sad Intelligence
from the United States land office in
Washington that their final proof on
land in Stanley county, South Dako-5
! TIA, is void and their e4iiings on the
! land vitiated.

sharks, all right" said a victim to-
day who had heard that Lis final
proof was DO good for lack OF legal

There has been quite little talk about
inviting the next State Reunion to Dodge

Government Experts At Work
On the Old Problem
HOW TO RAISE uNDERFLow
'ChIet Of Irrigation Experiments
Is At Garden City With
Civil Engineers.

y The Arkansas river undelfow Is now
being systematically probed by the gov
ernment. Elwood Meade, chief of irrl-
cation investigation passed through
Dodge City a few days ago Oh his way to
Garden City at which point the govern
menthas engineering experts at work.
Mr.. Meade says be has instructed bis
deputy TO make a survey Of the territory
from here west, The purpose Of the sur
veyis step toward solving the question
Of The underhow, and whether or not II
Gao be raised to The surface. The survey
will give an idea Of the expense Of an ex.
pertinent ln carrying the underaow to
the surface through cement pipes. II
the expense can be held to a reasonable
figure Mr.. Meade will begin at once to
put the plan into operation, lfauy plan
can be worked out that Is practical the
'underfow will later be utilized to the
fullest extent. Many are skeptioal re-
garding tho usefulness Of The underfow
for irrigation purposes, but the maturity
perhaps Of western Kansas people believe
the plan Is practical. The question Is
such big one, II there 10 any thing In 1t
at oil, that nearly every one would like
to zee 1t tested by competent persons.
Theinvestigation made by tile gov
'ernment at this time will either result in
heunderfow Idea being abandoned, or
worked out fully. In the latter event 1t
would mean much for Western Kansas.
Congressman Victor Murdock 10 entitled
70 The credit Of arousing the government
tp action. At the suggestion and request
Of Arkansas Valley people he began
work on the matter when be frat went to
Washington. He persisted until be sue.
