A WEEK OF RUSSIAN DISASTER.
kuropatkin's Entire Army Hikes for
Hardin.

Hardin.
The past week has been one of re-
peated reverses for the Russians in
Manchuria 1t closed with a crushing
defeat and the retirement of Kuropat-
kin's entire army, or as much of it as
could get away, to Tie Pass.
The long battle to the north of Muk-
den has been one of the most sangui-
nary in history. 1t is impossible as
yet to approximate the casualties but
according to all accounts the total will
aggregate something never before
known in modern engagements.
1t is impossible to determine how
many Russians have been cut off, but
| it appears that a considerable portion
of the Russian army has succeeded in
reaching Tie Pass, and the defense of
the rear guard has been sufficiently
stubborn to permit of a withdrawal
that is remarkably successful under
the circumstances.
Although Tie Pass was fortified last
fall, it is by no means certain that
the Russians can hold this new posi-
ton for any great length of time. They
will at present enjoy an advantage
for the Japanese, after 10 days unin
terrupted fighting and long marches
must be in a condition of exhaustion
that will prevent an immediate effort
to dislodge Kuropatkin from his new
stronghold.
But the Russians are in badly shat
, tered condition, and if Oyama is ablt
to repeat his thanking movements i
would not create surprise if the orde
was once more given to fall back anC
an orderly retirement was effected to
ward Hirbin.

THREE GREAT JAP LEADERS.
kuroki, Nodzu and Oku, Leading Men
to Victory.

to Victory.
General Baron Kuroki, who by his
passage of the Yalu and subsequent
successes at Kiulienling and other
places, has proved himself to be a gen.
eral of no mean capacity, is about 60
years of age. He is a Kagoshima Sam
urai, and his GOODNESS and courage are
worthy the chivalrous race from which
he comes.
General Nodzu belongs to the finest
type of Japanese and by many of his
countrymen he is regarded as their
greatest soldier. In spite of his 81
years he is a keen sportsman. He is
a great favorite in the army. and has
reputation for pluck and dash.
General Baron Oku, the commander
Of the Second Japanese army. is a Sam.
urai of the Oita clan. He is 81 years
Of age.

The Aberdeen Democrat. (Aberdeen, South Dakota) 1???-1909, 1905-05-19

1t is quite likely municipal owner
ship of an electric lighting plant will
be up to the citizens of Aberdeen for
decision, one way or another, soon.
Regardless Of the action Of the City
council, which is, at this writing,
somewhat problematical, the final de-
ciSiOn will probably have to be made
by the citizens and voters OF Aber-
deem. Looking at it as a business
proposition in whicha all citizens of the
city are intimately interested and
upon which all naturally desire as
much information as possible. this
paper has notonly gathered some facts
from the experience OF other cities in
the west but has also arranged for the
publication of a series Of twelve ar
ticles, entitled Chow British Cities
Manage Public Utilities" The first
of these appear in this weeks issue of
the paper. 1t is not the purpose of
the following article to argue for or
against the proposition but to present
certain facts for the consideration of
our readers.
The position taken by the paper
will be stated editorially.
Moorhead, Mimi, is a city, which, in
size and population, is so nearly the
size of Aberdeen as to justify using it
for purposes Of comparison. 1t owns
and operates a municipal electric
lighting plant. When installed it was
thought it would fully satisfy the de-
mand for power and light. but last
year Moorhead paid the Fargo light
ing plant $l7l6.4S for an additional

As To Advertising,

LaMoure Chronicle: The Chronicle
savers and verify believes that
every dollar expended by the mer-
chants of LaMoure in the purchase
Of advertising space in this
paper is we'll spent. We might
20 farther, and say that it may be
doubted whether the benefits that
accrue from this form of investment
are fully appreciated by our patrons.
The value of newspaper advertising
is too we'll established to admit of
questioning, but it's exact value can
not be determined because the SUBJ
stantial returns which flow there
from come pouring In thru thous-
and different channels.
A newspaper is generally looked
upon as mirror OF the Jown-com-
mercially considered-in which it is
published; and when this fact is
taken into proper account the impor-
tance of liberal advertising patron
age-the foundation of a creditable
newspaper-begins to reveal itself.
That the appearance frequently de-
termines the question Of location in
the mind Of an Investment seeker or
hOmeseeker there can be no doubt.

Work on Bismarck Bridge.

The Northern Pacific railway CON-
pany has let the contract of tearing
down the Missouri river bridge to the
American Bridge company. The
superstructure of the bridge will be
torn down, returned to the factory,
and will be entirely rebuilt and then
placed over the Columbia river at
Pasco, Washington. The piers of the
bridge here will be strengthened and
a new pier may be put in to overcome
the difficulty the company has exper-
fenced for many years with the east
ern pier which has tendency to slip
toward the river. always, however,
maintaining perpendicular. The sup
erstructure will be rebuilt OF heavier
and stronger material and when COM
pleted. the bridge will be the finest
one along the road. During all this
work the traffic will in no way be
interrupted, as superstructure will
be built on splicing while each span
is being replaced Bismarck Tribune.

Irrigation Plans.

A Mandan dispatch says: The en-
gineers of the reclamation service
have commenced Investigations on
the Mandan side of the river for a
pumping plant, with which to irri-
gate several thousand acres. It is
believed that the water can be taken
over the bluff from the Missouri river
and placed on the flats along the
Heart river very successfully. and the
engineers are now working Out this
plan, and in this enterprise they
have the hearty cooperation OF all
the land owners, who are rendering
every assistance in their power. The
owners Of the land on the eastern side
of the Missouri are not entering very
heartily into the plans outlined there
last fall. and unless they see fit to
take advantage Of the offer of the
government to expend $3.50. 900 to put
in the plant there it looks as II this
money would be transferred to the
NEST bank of the river, and the coun-
try around Mandan be made to bios
som as the rose gardens of Italy, with
an unfailing supply of water which
would give US at least three crops Of
alfalfa per year and greatly increase
the fruit production Of this section.
The work thus far has been decidedly
ENCOURAGING.
