Phone Line at C1eve1and-An ap-
plication for a franchise for local
and rural telephone privilege for
Cleveland and vicinity, has been
made to the county board BY Geo.
Kurtz and Others. The service pro-
posed is to install an exchange in the
village of Cleveland, which will re-
quire, at present, about 20 or Is
phones and to run farmers lines north
and south of the railroad track dis
tance of or miles, which will
serve about SO families. The increase
of rural phone lines in the county is
certainty, and in the course Of
year or two the..county will be we'll
covered with farmers lines.
The Cleveland Phone company will
be Incorporated with Chas. Anderson
manager, and 1t is understood, ex.
poets to still further extend its rural
lines north and south. With the COM
pletion of the line from Medina to
Gackle the western and southwestern
part of the county will be fairly we'll
supplied with telephone service. Tho
extension of rural lines south of
Jamestown is expected to be made
next year.

May Plead Gui1ty-Albert Woolen

May Plead Gui1ty-Albert Woolen,
who was brought back from Cleve-
land, o., by Sheriff Wasser. will have
a.-cha nee to plead guilty by States
Attorney Thorp, on one charge, that
Of assault with dangerous weapon.
Woolen is stubborn aud may fight the
case. A five years term may result
from his plea of guilty, other wise he
can be indicted on two other GRIMM
al charges and the sentence may be
more,as conviction on all the charges
is certain. Wol;en claims to have
gone to Britt, Iowa, from here when
he escaped in October. 1906, ,apd then
to Billings. From that place Sheriff
Wasser received word from certain
parties thai Woolen vas in custody
and asking if he should be held. The
sheriff replied at once to hold Wool
en-, but the latter claims he gave the
Billings official S25 and was allowed
to get away. He has been married to
woman in Boston since he left
Jamestown and the unfortunate VIC
tim of misplaced confidence was at
the jail in Cleveland to see her hus-
band during his imprisonment there.
Woolen worked criminal stunts as far
south as Virginia and was always on
the move. He was shackled all the
way from Cleveland, as he threatened
to get away at every chance he got.
He was searched before leaving and
a fine steel Jimmy was found on. him
for uses best known to the expert
burglar. Had Woolen served out his
short jail sentence here and not aried
TO escape he wou d have been releas-
ed, as it is not believed that the evil
dence against him for hold up would
make conviction of the original
charge on which he was arrested.

Pumpelly had always been known as
a pretty good sort OF fellow with

new RAILWAY LINES
Extensions Being Built in South d.
kota and North Da.
k0td.

The new line of the Chicago, Mil
waukee g. St. Paul Railway, which
is being built from Glenham, S. H.,
to Butte, Montana, will open up
large tract of diversified farming and
stock raising country.
The new line will pass through
Walworth, Boreman and Selma sse
counties 10 South Dakota and thru
Hetuinger, Bowman and Billings
counties in North Dakota, and pro-
ceed in a westerly direction to Butte,
Montana.
The rich soil of the country thru
which this new line will pass, con-
sisting of a deep black loan, with
yellow clay subsoil, together with the
favorable climatic conditions and an
abundance of water, is adapted to
raising all kinds of grain and suit
able for general agricultural purpos-
es. There are still many thousands
acres of good Government lands to be
secured along this new line. Home
t cad entries for lands in Butte cOun-
ty. may be made at Seim, South Da-
k0ta.
There are golden opport unities for
the farmer and rancher, and for the
small merchant in the new towns
which will he opened along this new
line as fast as the railway can be
completed. Mobridge, in Walworth
county, South Dakota, is the first
station on this new line east of the
crossing Of the Missouri river. A
town has recently been established
there and prom ises a great future.

will be put into operation shortly.
spur track of three miles only being
needed to connect the mines with
the main line. The company. proposes
to expend about 100000 on this
property between now and November
l, 1907. Within year what is now
open prairie will become busy little
village. The mine will be shaft
mine, equipped with the latest and
best machinery. The company ex-
poets to erect also hotel, miners
cottages, etc. The Times Record says
regarding this coal enterprise: Col.
Peake says they are putting out all of
the Ignite coal flom their mines
which the railroads can take care of.
They are shipping ftom twelve to
eighteen cars daily and are running
in full force. They mined more coal
in November this year than for any
other November since the company
has been organized. There Is big
demand for the coal and if they
could get cars, would increase their
output forty or fifty cars daily. Col.
Peake is delighted with the purchase
recently made by his company of se'-
eral sections of the only coal beds on
the new line of the Milwaukee in the
state. II will take from $4,000 to
$4,000 to develop the mines but they
will be rich and the contiguous mar
ket territory is large to the east and
south. They have one section which
shows a bed of coal over the enti1e
section of 30 feet in thickness. None
of the land. has a bed less than six
feet thick and at a depth of from 10
to 100 feet The coal will have MOTH
ing in the way of soft and cheap coal
with which TO com mplete except the
Iowa coal, which is so dirty that it
cannot compete. Col. Peake feels con-
fident that they have the only coal
lands 90 the new Milwaukee as they
spent nearly year prospecting along
the line from the reservation west.

A Roadway Prob1em-Some pre-

A Roadway Problem-SOme pre-
]iminary work has been done by the
railroad company towards cutting
down the hill on the north side OF
the track just west Of the river, with
the object of making road for farm
ers and Others to get in and oat of
town from the west and north side.
The expense of this together with
the bridge that will have to be built
across the Jim river will be great
and the time required to complete
the road considerable. When it is
completed it will be poor road at
best as the grade will be steep. A
much better and less expensive plans
is proposed by having the county
commissioners cooperate with the
railroad company and to get road
graded along the main line Of the N.
P. south of the track where it leaves
the valley, the natural place for such
a road. This work could be done by
the railroad steam shovel excavating
for double track west OF the Pipe
stem, and the county cooperating in
the construction of roadway along
side OF the track TO the section line
running through the city and west to
Eldridge. The bridge across the Pipe
stem would be less expensive than
the city bridge required across the
Jim, and the distance for teams CON-
ing to the city from the west would
be about two miles less, as on the
proposed road north of the track the
crossing of the Pipestem river on the
present bridge requires teams to go
north about mile and then south to
reach Eldridge again. The hill lead
ing to the present Pipestem bridge is
also steep one and dangerous for
loads. A good deal of trade that
would come to the city does not do
so now on account Of the poor roads
leading into town from the west. The
proposed roadway on the north side
of the railroad yards, with the dan-
gerous crossing of the numerous
tracks just west of the railroad bridge
will not be the advantage that is
hoped for but has been the best plan
so far suggested. 1t is understood
that the railroad company needs a
double track along its west outlet
from the city and the opportunity to
get good city and county goal lead
ing west to Eldridge that would ac-
cuMUdaLe sreat many farmers seems
better from that point than from the
one on which work has only been
started. The suggestion may be
worth a good deal to the city and
county If properly followed up.
