Martinsburg is highly favor

Martinsburg is highly favor>
ed by having a U. S. Court
House. Each session of court
brings business men from near
ly every section of the State.
These men usually go away
well PLEASED with our city, and
speaking well of the pleasant
manner in which they were
entertained. All this helps to
bring our town into prominence.
The session now in progress
here is unusually an interesting
one. Judge Dayton, in his
charactistic style, expedites
matters as rapidly as possible
The longer he is on the bench
the closer he endears himself to
the members of the bar. He
has long since laid aside parti-
san motives, and only honor
and justice prevails in handing
down his decisions. Not a man
Of any consequence would
place himself on record of ac-
cusing him of being guilty of
an impure act. We are FORUM
ate indeed in having on the
Federal bench a man who
possesses as many noble traits
of character as Judgel Dayton.

Prosperity is so general in
the United States at this time
that is difficult to name branch
es of business or to specify
classes of our active workers
who are not enjoying its bene>
fits. 1t is equally difficult to
designate the class that is re-
ceiving the most widely dis
seminated rewards for their en-
terprise. The millions of per-
sons in the ranks of skilled and
unskilled labor have full ems
ployment, not only in the cities,
but in the most remote districts
of the country, and their wage
rates are up to the highest re.
cords.
So we'll is the confidence in
the continuance of this pros>
perity, so widespread is the
knowledge of these admirable
conditions, that it is almost
impossible for the strongest
financial leaders to keep in
check the optimism of even
their most conservative breth
rem. The year of 1906 is apt to
break all records in railway
earnings, in bank clearances,
in outputs of manufacturers, in
exports, and in aggregates of
our foreign and domestic com,
merce. With advances in value
of farm lands and reality of all
classes rapidly wiping out ex>
listing mortgages, with rapid
growth of city populations, and
full employment of labor of
every class, with crops of new
gold added to our currency
everv day in the year to stimu>
late and to sustain the activi~
ties, the future certainly prom
ises we'll for the people Iof the
United States. There is nei-
Their reason for doubt or room
for doubters. Sound business
is based upon the ability of the
people to pay for that which
they desire. There is never
''lack of confidence" in busi>
ness or financial affairs when
the money supply is known to,
be ample. The desire to pur-
chase is ever in existence. -

About Pine Cones.

Capt. Seth Bullock informs the
Mail that he is preparing to seed
with pine cones considerable por-
tion of the Black Hills forest reserve
next year, AS an experiment,
thirty acres were seeded last year,
and the result was SO satisfactory
that large area will be seeded next
spring. Capt. Bullock's plan is to
smooth over as large an area of the
burned section as possible, and SOW
the cones broadcast. The expert
ment last year shows one pine seed.
ling to each square foot. If this
ratio is maintained, and the pine
seedlings are properly protected,
the burned sections of the reserve
will be rejuvenated in a manner i'm.
possible under the natural order ol
things. Capt. Bullock has a small
army of boys at work gathering
cones for this work, and at last re-
port bad about 1900 bushels o

How About This2

A special from Deadwood to the
World Herald says: "The Downie-
Wright Manufacturing company Of
York, Neb., has decided to move it's
immense foundry plant from York
to some point in the Black Hills.
either Rapid City, Deadwood or
Spearfsh. Spearfsh has offered 9
bonus of $25, 900 for a foundry, over
two blocks of ground, water power
and other inducements, and it is
quite probable that the location will
be made at that place. The foundry
intends to supply all of the machine
wants of the Black Hills and will
employ about two hundred men.
The new plant will cost about
$50, o,oOO.."
Whether or not there is any truth
in the above, yet remains to be seen,
however with three immense rail-
road systems running in to Rapid
City and good prospects of still
another, the Downie- Wright Manu-
featuring company might, with more
profit to itself, pay Rapid City the
amount mentioned for the privilege
of coming here, rather than accept
an offer, however large, from any
other town in the Hills.
The above firm is made up of clear
sighted business men and should
they seek location in the hills, a
thorough investigation will first be
made. AS business proposition,
the natural distributing point of
these railroads possesses advantages
that no amount of bonus from an
isolated town can equal.
In addition to the above facts it is
we'll known that Rapid City is al
ways ready to extend as many
courtesies, if not more, than any
other city in the northwest.

Mr.. Ware Again.

An Omaha dispatch has the fol.
lowing that will be of special inter
est to cattlemeu in this section.
Crank Lambert of Portland, Ore.
who was released on $4,000 bail Mon
day evening to appear before the
federal grand jury and answer to
the charge OF tsubornation Of perjury,
was Immediately served with sum-
mons to appear as witness before
the grand jury to testify in the cases
against Geo. G.. Ware, the South
Dakota preacher and cattleman who
has 10000 or more acres of public
lands under fence in northwes tern
Nebraska.
SIT appears that Lambert was the
agent for Ware and others to pro-
cure soldiers homestead filings on
the lands and did thriving busi-
ness, receiving $50 for each filing
obtained from an old soldier, and
that he succeeded In getting hun.
dreds Of them. These filings sub
sequently were rslinquished or leas-
ed to the cattlemen or land grabbers
for period of ninety-nine years,
and it is upon this tenure that
thousands of acres of land are being
held up there under fence and are
called or represented to be decided
on leased land.
San official connected with the
Investigations of these land matters
from the Alliance district said:
The Investigations before the
grand jury will be sensational in the
extreme, You people down here at
Omaha have no idea of the extent of
these fraudulent land entries. The
cattlemen are not alone the guilty
ones; in fact thev are about the least
guilty of the whole bunch. The land
frauds are much on the same order
as practiced in Colorado and Cali
fornia by W, E, Hyde and John E,
Benson and others now under in,
dictment in California, as we'll as

tention. In fact, you will find that

soldier filing scheme has been work

afraid it will 90 pretty hard with
some of the old boys now at the
homes who have permitted their
names to be used in securing these
filings and then making leases to
the land grabbers, who subsequently,
relinquished them or subleased them
to the cattle and ranchmen. 1t is
dirty mess, and the grand jury,
which meets in Omaha next week,
has big job ahead Of it that will
attract national attention. {"

ORDINANCE PASSES IT'S LAST
READING.
OFFICIAL ACT SEALS BARGAIN
Railway Ordinance Finally Placed
in the List of Active
City Laws

/ Monday evening the city fathers
met in adjourned session and the
ordinance granting the Missouri
River & Northwestern road a right
of way on the north side of Rapid
street, which was fully described in
this paper last week, passed its
second reading after the necessary
amendments were added.
The ordinance granting the Chi
cago & Northwestern road right
of way on the south side of Rapid
street that was fully discussed last
week in these columns, was laid on
the table until Tuesday evening when
all matters pertaining to same were
' satisfactorily adjusted.
Several bills were allowed on the
various funds of unimportance ex-
cept,ng the bill of Mcconnell &
Sampson for 81, ,2l630 for the con-
struction of cement walks and other
cement work, it being noticeable
only by its being one of the largest
amounts paid out in lump for some
time.
The Mayor announced that the
resignation of Chief of Police La
Near had heen accepted ana that
he had appointed Hugh J. Gum,
former night police to fill the va
cancy and that John B. Parry had
been appointed to fill the vacancy
created by the promotion of Mr..
Gum.
Mr.. LaMear's connection with the
police force in this city has been of
long standing, serving off and on
for period of nearly ten years.
During his long service he has never
been found wanting in any manner
and though his duties were far from
pleasant, he has always performed
them with honor to himself. The
writer has been present on occasions
where Mr.. LaMear has been more
than severely tried and where a less
courageous man with the same au
thority, would have done things to
some people that would have long
been remembered. The city has
lost one of the most efficient police
men it ever had and he has left a
record that will be hard to equal
Both Mr.. Gum and Mr.. Parry
will make excellent officers and the
appointments could not have been
better.
The ordinance granting the Pierre,
Rapid City & Northwestern road q
rightof way through the city on
the south side of Rapid street, also
terminal facilities and depot grounds
on the north side Of Rapid creek,
