in various directions through the CO
ded lands. Settlement has extended
to a distance. of more than n hun
dred miles west of the Missouri river
and throughout that entire region the
greatest activity prevails.
Everybody is rushed to their ut
most in getting settled in the new
country. Passenger trains reaching
Chamberlain, for years the western
terminus of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul railroad, are daily crowded
to their utmost capacity with eager
land seekers, whose ardor cannot be
cooled even by cold and rainy wealth
err.
They are all intent upon securing
hOmesteads, or erecting buildings on
hOmesteads already secured, and they
pay not the slightest attention to
weather conditions, which fortunate
ly, have been favorable for the great
err part of the time this fall.
Without doubt the rush into the
coded lands is the greatest thing Of
the kind in the history of South Da
kota. The so-called Bonesteeel rush
does not compare with it, being small
err in magnitude and not continuing
SO long. The remarkable feature of it
is that little has been said in the
newspapers.
Did the same conditions prevail in
Kansas or Oklahoma, the rush would
be the theme of numberless special
illustrated articles in the newspapers
and in the illustrated publications.
That more has not been written OF
it doubtless is due to the fact that
the newspaper correspondents in that
part of the state, like other people,
have been too busy with their person
al business affairs to devote any or
their time to writing newspaper ar
ticles.
The extension of the new railroad
has now been completed beyond the
new town of Reliance, from which
sixty or seventy carloads Of cattle
were shipped to the Eastern markets
Immediately upon the railroad be-
ing completed to that place.
It is expected the railroad Will be
completed to the town of Presho with
in the next few days. The railroad
comDany has entered into a contract
for the handling of about three hun
dred carloads of cattle as soon as the
railroad is completed to Presho, and
because of this, and the approach OF
cold weather, the track-laying is pro-
ceeding with all possible speed.
The grading for the new road mas
been finished to a point near White
Clay buttes, about sixty miles west
of Chamberlain. The graders her
aided their arrival at that point by
a conflagration. Through the careless
ness of some member of the grading
gang. a prairie fire was started and
the high winds which prevailed at
the time carried it rapidly north
ward.
For a period of four hours the fire
burned fiercely, and at times seemed
to be beyond control and baffled the
of fifty men who We're detailed
to fight it. The fire swept a wide ex-
of country and did considerable
damage.
1t is possible the track-laying may
not extend west of Presho this fall.
At Presho the company intends put
ting in extensive stockyards and side
track facinties, which may delay the
of track-laying.
In the meantime sleeping and eat
ing accommodations at Chamberlain,
Oacoma and the smaller towns west
of the river, as has been the case
since last spring, continue to be at a
premium.

How Mosby Bore the Banner.

Just after the close of the Ciyi, war
Col. John S. Mosby, the famous South

Tor a minor Office in a small town in
Virginia. Knowing that a love for the
gray and a hatred for the blue still
fingered in the hearts of his audience.

ACTS ON LOST INDICTMENTS.

In an opinion by Justice Haney, the
supreme court handed down a decision
in the Kelly Indictment cases from
Beadle county. A mandamus order is
granted, ordering the circuit court of
the Ninth circuit to have copies of the
missing indictments prepared, and to
proceed to trial on the copies as If
they were the original indictments.
The Beadle county grand jury re-
turned several indictments against G.
A. Kelly, charging forgery and other
~offenses, and when the time for trial
came it was learned that the indict-
ments had been taken from the rec
ords of the clerk of courts and the cir
cult court refused to act on copies.
The supreme court was asked to force
action and has complied.

FOREIGNERS OBSERVE LAW.
OF 1913 Convicts in Penitentiary, 1913
Are Native Americans.

OF 1913 Convicts in Penitentiary, l23
Are Native Americans.
The records of nationality in rela-
ton to criminology in this state would
indicate that the ~native-born Amerl-
can shows less reverence for the law
than does the foreigner or his de-
scendants. Out Of the 1913 convicts in
the ~penitentiary, 1928 are ~native-born
Americans having native-born pa
rents; IT are native offspring of for
eign born parents, and 33 are foreign
born; the remainder being negroes
n Indians. The census records
show that the children of foreign born
parents constitute 54.5 per cent OF the
entire population, and only furnish 70
per cent of the convicts. The children
of American BORN parents, while num-
bering 40 per cent Of the population,
furnish 64.6 per cent of the convicts.
The native born white population born
in the state has furnished but 3 per
cent of the convicts now in the peni-
Tertiary.
In the reform school there are 62
in~corrigibles. There is not a foreigner
among them. Twelve are children of
foreign born parents. On percentages
the children of American born parents
constitute II per CEN Of the incorri-
gibles and the children of foreign born
parents 20 per cent.
The question naturally arises as to
what is the underlying cause OF this?
Has the foreigner greater reverence
for the law, or has he a better control
over his children? And does he use it
to bring them up in a better way than
does the American born parent? The
facts do not show up well for the home
product, whatever the cause.

National FditOriaIASSOciatiOn
Will Make Short Stop
Here Tomorrow

A delegation Of 327 members Of the
National Editorial Association will pass
through Salem tomorrow morning, en-
route to Portland to visit the exposi-
tiou. A stop will be made at this place,
but at this writing it is not known
just how long. Salem citizens have ar
ranged to give them a quick lunch at
the depot, after which, il the time will
permit, a drive will be made about the
city.
It is suggested that, as this delega-
tion represents every state in the
Union, citizens of Salem who formerly
lived elsewhere prepare a small lunch
or bunch Of flowers with a little note
attached as follows, for instance:
"with the compliments Of Mr.. and
Mrs. John T. Blank, formerly Of New
ton, Iowa, to the Iowa delegation, with
the hope that your stay in Oregon will
be as pleasant for you as IL has been
for us in our adopted home" Small
boxes Of cherries, currants or berries
will be appreciated. Roses and ever
greens will be appropriate. A basket Of
flowers from the several state institu'
tions is desired. For instance a basket
with the compliments of the superin.
tendont Of the Oregon state insane asy-
lum or the Oregon state penitentiary
or superintendent Of the Oregon state
reform school. No state has yet done
this particular thing, and IL will make
hit. Let there be no hesitancy in
completely burying the editors in low'
ers It is these little unthought Of at.
tentions that count. Let all persons
who cannot be at the train when it
halts here leave their contributions Of
lunch boxes or flowers at their the Cap
ital journal or the Statesman Offices,
and the same will be promptly deliv.
cred. Those sending flowers from the
state institutions can leave the same
with the janitor at the state house.
This is national body Of organized
newspaper people, the members Of
which, when they reach their several
homes will tell TO their readers Of
their visit to Oregon. Salem needs all
Of the advertising that 1t can possibly
get, and here is an opportunity to send
word to your former old neighbors. Re
member the flowers and box lunches
will be the means Of making great hit
for Salem.
