RAILROAD SURVEY
is BEING MADE
Dickey County to Have
Another Railroad?
Another Rumor Of the Winnipeg. Galveston
Line-Forbes Expects to be on
the New Line.

A crew Of about fifteen men pitched
their tents in Forbes this week and are
busy surveying railroad line up this
way from the south says the Republic
can. The line, as we understand it, will
connect the north with the south and
will no doubt be one of the best roads
in the United States, as it will bring
all the northern states in closer touch
with the sea coast, which will make a
better market for cattle, grain, ETC., as
well as giving US better rates on all
products coming up from the south.
As the line is to connect Winnipeg,
Can, with Galveston, Texas, it will be
several years before the road is com
pleted.
G. P. Beach, who has charge Of the
work here, states that there is no doubt
but that the work Of construction will
be begun from both ends next year.
The road is now being surveyed from
near Leola to this point, and from here
will take northerly course to James
town. We understand that the greater
part of the line through South Dakota
was surveyed last season. With two
railroads Forbes. cannot help but be-
come good point and will take on
quite boom. 4,

HOLDING A CAMERA.
Some Practical Suggestions to the Be-
ainner In Photography.

Some Practical Suggestions to the Be-
ginner In Photography.
One Of the most important lessons
for a beginner to learn is to hold the
camera in the proper position during
exposure. Whenever there are corners
Of buildings or other objects which
give vertical lines the camera must be
held absolutely level. If this is not
done. the building in the picture will
appear to be falling either backward
or forward, according to the way in
which the camera was tilted.
There are times, however, when the
camera may be tilted to an advantage.
In some cases 1t is an absolute neces-
sity. For example. in photographs of
Clouds waterfalls. balloons. etc. the
camera may point upward, while in
taking pictures of people swimming
or bathing. children ut work or play.
ETC., it may be pointed downward.
Very successful photographs of
prominent speakers. parades, crowds.
etc, have been taken when the camera
was upside down. 1t makes no differ
ence in the negative whether the cam
era is right side up or not. BY holding
the camera in the way suggested many
photographer has secured good pic
lures. while others who tried to use
the camera In the usual way made alb
solute failures.
Often BY holding the camera by the
side Of the body and pointing 1t back
ward one may secure pictures Of chill
dren at play and Of older people in
natural poses without the knowledge
OF any members Of the group.
Another warning to beginners is nec-
essary. Do not try to take time ex-
posure While holding the camera in the
hand. Even If the camera Is held
against the breast and respiration stop
ped the action Of the heart is sufficient
to cause the box to vibrate and spoil
the picture.-Circle Magazine.

The revival meetings are going on at

Or. Morrison is powerful minister Of
God, and his preaching is having its
effect. Over fifty persons have attested
to a change Of heart and new ones are
beng added TO the circle each day. DR..
Morrison swsys his audience at will.
From mirth to seriousness, from carnal
mindedness to thoughts Of the higher
things, he holds the people with rapt
attention each evening for two hours,
and some of the after meetings are
carried past the midnight hour.
It is strange the people will not turn
out better when such q great opportun-
ity is presented to them to hear such
an able exposition Of the scriptures.
The only decent audiences were on Sun
day, and even then there were many
chairs in the hall vacant. Oakes

At the ministerial meeting held las

speed to five miles an hour. Better
