III" oHe VI tHe large business and
manufacturing concerns of DAYTON,
had its beginning in pioneer DAYS. The
business was first known as the Gar.
ner Lumber Co. In 1902 it was taken
over and rebuilt by the Lewis Lumber
Co., and in 1905 was purchased by C.
A. Smith and Geo. A. Bergstrom,
prominent lumber men of Minnesota
and was rechristened "The Geo. A.
Bergstrom Lumber Co., with C. A.
Smith as president, and Geo. A. Berg
strom as secretary and treasurer, and
manager.
The business as reorganized, in
cludes the wholesaling and retailing of
rough and dressed lumber, of all kinds

cement, and the many etc. which 20

modern business house. school house,
church, and residence.
A complete planning mln and factory
for the manufacturing of doors, sash.

posts, colonial columns, ETC., forms an
important part of the plant. And esti-
mates are made for contractors and
builders of the cost of material. in
Guiding everything, from the rough di-
mension lumber, to interior furnishing,

quantities from the mountains and
from Coast mills. and lumber and
other building material is sold in car

chasers.
The company is also a retail dealer
in Rock Springs and Roslyn coal, and
a considerable business is done in this

now in contemplation which will per-
NIT the loading and unloading of cars

Of the personnel of this company

Smith, the president, is one of the
great lumber men of the United
States, owning a mill in Minnesota
with a capacity of one million feet of
lumber per day. Geo. A. Bergstrom,
also from Minnesota, was associated
with M. Smith in the lumber business
at Almira, Wash, and was manager

Refused to Endorse Pres. Roosevelt
During the Last Legislature the Machine and Corporation
Gang Turned Down Two Joint Resolutions
Endorsing the President.
This Same Crowd Claims They Are Roosevelt Supporters
and Lightner Was One of Their Tools.

amble OF these resolutions, and to
cast their votes In favor of all meas
ures for the proper regulation Of rail-
road freight rates, for the regulation
of monopoly, and for the revision Of
the tariff as may be advised by the
administration.
Resolved. That the legislature of
South Dakota, through its Senate
and House of Representatives, fully
endorses the position of the President
Of the United States, in relation to
these economic questions. and insists
that the State OF South Dakota, shall
be kept In accord with him through
all official acts of the Senators and
Representatives.
This man Lightner is a fair sample
OF the corporation machine tools who
are doing everything to rob the peo-
pie and deny them a square deal in
state management. This corporation
tool talks about being a friend of the
people. No man "a be a friend Of the
people who would betray them and
this man Lightner did and will do it
again II given a chance.
II the machine was friendly to the
President why did the corporation
and machine bosees; Of which this
man Lightner was one, turn down
and ignore this friendly message to a
man who was fighting a great battle
for the people against organized
tyranny and corporate wealth. Light
ner a friend Of the people. Bah!

Mr.. Andrew Syvertson marketed a

Is Carl Hotter back yet? That is a
question that is agitating the

They are probably thinking that Carl

Of some Indian maid, and therefore
will return to them no more
Our school has now an enforced
vacation of two weeks, to give the
"itch scare" a better chance to blow
over, and the Literary society has
also been ordered to be stopped, which
caused a great deal of merriment at
our last meeting, as one person made
the motion that we have the school
house fumigated while the society
was in session, and another proposed
the dipping tank. We will however
have one more meeting to which the
public is cordially invited.
AS news is scarce this week and the
scribe busy cleaning his seed wheat.

Sic Transit Gloria Mundi.

Lead Daily Call: Lawrence county
has staked all on Eben w. Martin
and lost!
It is as assured a fact now as it will
be when the Sioux Falls convention
of the republican party for 1906 shall
have adjourned sine die.
Whether Mr.. Buell. gets the nomi-
nation or not, the scepter Of political
power in the Black Hills will have
passed from '"The Kingdom Of Law
renee to Pennington county, just,
the same. which county will WELD it
for many years to come.
The machine is doomed. The last
legislature did it, and Frank Cranes
Burn the Books" is its epitaph.
Anyone with half an eye TO discern
passing events can read this writ in
letters a foot long.
Pennington county refused to be
either cajoled or "bulldozed."
The coming OF the new railroads
must have put it on It's metal.
II Mr.. Buell. receives the nominal
tion and election. Pennington county
will be 1T, and II he does not it will
be the same. The victorious reform
ers will remember their friends In
any event.
So passes the glory Of 1.-THE King
dom Of Lawrence
1t is a big price to pay for any man.
1t is an especially big price for Lead
to pay for a Deadwood man, whoever
he may be.
OF course we are indebted to this
man for the large and magnificent
government building that he prom
ised US many years ago, when he was
first nominated, and which now
adorns city, and this may pay the
debt. Don't ask where this building
is. That would be treason, and he
who doubts, you know is damned.

Let every republican who loves a
square deal and honorable party
methods keep the reform movement
rolling along. The machine gang are
on the run. The only hope of the
machine is in %corrupting voters with
money. If a machine boss comes
along with a wad of corporation swag,
take it. give it to the poor and work
all the harder to destroy the system
that is corrupting the people and
robbing them by unjust taxation.
Destroy the boss system or the sys-
tenn will rob you just as the system
robbed the widows and orphans who
trusted the millio naire grafters of the
big insurance companies.

"HellO, stranger, where are you

"1'm from Deadwood and a dele

tiOn to the water. ~

HON. CHARLES ]. BUELL..
Brief Sketch OF the New Leader
from the Black Hills who
will Destroy the Martin
Ring.

Following is a short history Of
| Charles J. Buell. of Rapid City, the
man who Pennington county declares
must be one of the nominees Of the
state republican convention:
Charles J.. Buell. was born in Wa
basha county, Minnesota, in Novem-
Der, 1865, and until old enough to at
tend school was brought up on a
farm. He then attended the country
school of his district, and afterward
attended the High school at Lake,
City, MINI. After leaving the High
school at Lake City he took a course
in the University of Minnesota, and
graduating from that institution of
learning studied law at Ann Arbor,
Mich, graduating from his class with
honOrS. He came to the Black Hill
in 1889, locating at Rapid City, which
| place he has since made his home,
and married his wife. a daughter of
the late Judge w. II. Mitchell. He
was states attorney for Pennington
county for two terms, on each occa-
sion receiving almost the unanimous
vote OF the county for the position.
He has served a number of times as
chairman of the Pennington county
republican central committee. In
1892 he was chosen n of the presi-
Dental electors for South Dakota,
and was the state messenger bearing
| the vote of South Dakota to the elec-
toral college and cast South Dakota's
first vote in that body for Harrison
and Morton. Four car ago he was
chosen permanent chairman Of the
republican state convention, at which
time it was said that he proved to be
the most competent presiding officer
that ever ruled a ~deliberative body in
the state. Two years ago he presid-
ed as temporary chairman of the re-
publican state convention, and his
address upon taking the chair did
much to bring enthusiasm to the as
semblage. 1t was one of the best
speeches made in the convention, and
gave Mr.. Buell. a reputation through
- "0 "..
out the state as an orator Ind a re-
publican whose faith was founded
upon the fundamental principles of
the party. Indeed, his speech on
that occasion held wavering republi-
cans in line, and did a great deal to-
ward making the victory of the party
in the campaign OF that year so
sweeping. At the present time he is,
aside from his law business, engaged
in the cattle business and is looked
upon as one of the most prosperous
men in Pennington county. All Of
his success has come to him by hard
work, honest business methods and a
strict attention to the little things of
life for he has always been "a near
perfect In all OF his transactions with
his fellow men as it is possible to be.
He is liberal, charitable and kind of
heart, and his friends are numbered
only by the limit Of his acquaintance,
while his popularity is u~nbounded.
