That the express companies OF the
country are charging tariffs that take
all the profit out of the repair depart
ment OF the implement business was
the assertion OF President Mesick of
the Retail Implement Dealers Associa-
ton Of South Dakota, Southwestern
Minnesota and Northwestern Iowa at
its ninth annual convention held at

In express rates or the establishment
Of parcels post system Is Inevitable
In the opinion Of the president, the
former being much preferred by a ma
ority of the dealers.
C. e. Sanders of Chicago, represent
ing the National Pillow Manufacturers
association, declared that In another
year the retail implement dealers will
have to buy upon about ninety, days
time with q discount Of ! per cent per
month, the manufacturers will insist
upon a settlement upon receipt Of in

with the retailers. and the trade will
be forced to sell on the same terms ex-

NEGLECT COSTS HOME.

Although on Land Fifteen Years Pos
SCISSORS Fail TO File Before Plating.
Because oficially they slept on their
rights, although except for an interval
OF, about two years, they have made
their home on the ground for seven
teen years, the children and heirs Of
Hans Seim. deceased. are now ousted
by the general land Office from their
claim near Belle Fourche. The decis-
Ion Of the land officials at washington
has Just been received at the local
land ofiicep in Rapid City, and is Of
general interest to homesteaders. as
the case has been much discussed and
watched.
Seim died many years ago, neglect
Ing to flle his claim before plating,
and the children also neglected this
although they have made several
thousand dollars worth Of improve
ments on the land. In 1896. the land
being vacant according to the official
records, was fled upon by John B

Settlers Think Government Should
Provide Artesian Wells.
The homesteaders west or the Mis-
souri, river think they are entitled to
q portion Of the money they pay for
final proofs In return in the way OF Z
fund for sinking an artesian well in
every township Of that section and for
the establishment Of storage dams on
the land Of the individuals. all to be
located by competent engineers pro-
yided by the government for that pur-
pose.
They cite the appropriation OF pub
ic money for irrigation work on the
5art of the general government as a
foundation for their action. They ap-
parently overlook the fact that the
cost Of placing such systems Is added
to the cost Of the land within the dis
trict which 1t covers.
While 1t would be a good thing for
the state to secure this aid, 1t is hard
" likely that the present congress
will grant It unless the law carries
with it some such provision for the
payment. And If that Is to be added
the settlers could get much quicker
action by proceeding under the exist
Ing state laws, which will allow them
to bond their townships for artesian
wells, and put In their own storage
dams, and as long as they would
have to do it at their own expense,
hey could get what they want at once
instead Of waiting long time for 1t.

CATTLE SHIPPING HEAVY.
Season 10 Particularly and Unexpect.
eddy Heavy.

Season % Particularly and Unexpect-
eddy Heavy.
Cattle shipments from Belle Fourche
for the season OF 1907 are practically
over. Contrary to expectations, the
season has been particularly success
full, notwithstanding the drop in the
price Of cattle, which came with the
irst approach OF money stringency
and curtailed shipments.
According to the estimates Of both
the Northwestern railroad and cat
tlemen, something like $4,000 head Of
stock were shipped from this point
his year. Belle Fourche always had
he reputation OF being the largest
single cattle shipping point in the
world, but records OF other localities
probably will equal it this year. In
all, about 1900 cars Of cattle, sheep
and horses we're sent from here to
Eastern markets, the majority being
cattle for beef purposes, and most OF
It going to Omaha and Chicago, where
In former years Sioux City got large
share.
Returns show that previous to the
slump on the market, steers this year
brought from IS to $40 per head net
over last years prices and resulted in
many more cattle being shipped than
was expected. There are still more
cattle on the range this winter than
last year, and these will be ready for
shipment In 1908.

DREAM REVEALS LOST WEALTH
Remarkable Case Comes to Lioht at
Aberdeen.

Remarkable Case Comes to Light at
Aberdeen.
A remarkable case Of dream re-
vealing the whereabouts Of lost wealth
came TO light In Aberdeen when
Charles Cassie visited local bank
with bunch Of soiled savings bank
certificates and told the story OF how
he had recovered $1,055 he lost about
three months ago.
Cassie % q Scot and Industrious.
For a long time he had been saving
up his money with the object Of taking
trip to Scotland. Last August he
went to work digging trenches for Z
local firm OF contractors engaged in
installing storm sewer. One day he
missed his pocketbook containing the
bank certificates and so in currency.
He reported the matter to the police
and an investigation was conducted
but without success. Cassie went to
bed tired out and dreamed OF his loss.
Later he wandered in the spiritland to
a point of the Milwaukee freight
house, where he dreamed he found his
pOcketbOOk.
In the morning he recalled every de-
tail Of the dream and proceeded to In
vestigate. He went to the spot he
visited In his dream and began kick
ing away the dirt In one Of the
trenches. In q few minutes he kicked
his pocketbook and, opening 1t, found
the contents intact. He left at once
for Scotland, where he will winter.

Very Warm Meeting 10 Held %

The homesteadsrs Of Lyman county.
who attempted to secure . vote on the
herd law proposition in that county
through petition to the board Of coun-
~ commissioners for an election UNI
der the law. and who found them
selves blocked by the action Of the
board In cutting enough names on
their petition to get It below the re-
quired majority, on the ground that
the names stricken OF did not appear
on the poll lists OF the county, are now
on the warpath III earnest. Under the
provisions Of the law they cannot now
et a vote before the general election
OF next year, and that means another
all summer row between the, farmers
and stockmen.
While they were barred from any
further direct action. over 800 or the
homesteaders met at Presho and after
. warm discussion of the situation
demanded the resignation Of the en-
tire board. Some OF those present az
the meeting wanted petition in
boots" on hand at the january meet
ing Of the board to see that the resig-
nations were handed In. They finally
adopted resolutions and appointed
committees to circulate petitions all
over the country, demanding the res
ignations. The resolutions read:
I'VE, the citizens and taxpayers OF
Lyman county. assembled by q call OF
the Herd Law association, feeling
keenly the insult put upon us by the
board of county commissioners In re-
jecting the petition presented at the
special session Of the board, held Nov.
20 to "a inclusive, and In rejecting the
names Of over 100 men who are legal
voters In this county, especially in re-
jecting the names Of men whose am
davits were attached, and
Whereas, 1t has been the custom Of
the board to disregard the wishes Of
the people on every occasion possible
and to trample rough-shod over every
right of the citizens Of the county:
Resolved, That we, over three hum
dred men, representing every part Of
Lyman county, do hereby demand that
every member of the board OF county
commissioners shall Immediately re-
sign their Office, and not wait for the
petition to be presented to the audi
tor asking for their resignation, which
is now being circulated, and will be
presented before the next meeting OF
the board, which ID to be held Jan. 2,
1907
The commissioners were accused by
the same meeting Of being under the
domination OF one man who is practi-
cally the board, and who dictates their
action on all matters which come be-
fore them" The situation promises
to be one Of warm language on the
prairies of Lyman county before It Is
over, II nothing more serious il called
out by the strained relations between
the farmers and stockmen.

That the brewery interests are
awakening to the fact that more or
less danger menaces them as result
Or the wave Of prohibition which ap-
pears to be sweeping over some parts
Of the country, is evidenced in the re-
ceipt OF letter by the Aberdeen gen
eral agent Of one Of the largest brew
cry concerns in the country, which
calls upon the agent for an exhaustive
report Of conditions III this section Of
the country, with especial reference
to the disreputable saloons. A portion
Of the letter reads as follows:
We are determined TO suppress, as
far as we can, every saloon that must
be regarded as menace to peace and
good morals. and in carrying out this
plan we cannot accept as true or final
every complaint, private or ofiicial;
but In every instance we must finally
act upon our own responsibility This
we are prepared to do, and we call
upon you to aid us. We do not expect
to be openly antagonized. but we
would like to know to what extent we
are going to be supported. In our
Judgment the situation is not to be be-
Titled; and the demands upon our
business at this time are not greater
than those which public Impotence
has imposed upon other lines OF busi-
ness. The public mind Is keen, and It
would be mistake to permit this
time to pass without doing what we
can to bring all Of our interests to
proper standard. Kindly give US,
therefore, as promptly as you can, an
exhaustive report. and remember that
in doing so we look to you for the In
formation upon which we propose to
act, and by which we shall ultimately
be judged"

Two Notable Speeches.

We present our readers this week
with the speech OF Hou. John Sharp
Williams introducing President Roos-
evelt to the people OF Vicksburg, and
the Presidents reply on that occa-
sion. Mr.. Roosevelt had just finish
ell his bear hunt in the canebrakes of
Louisiana, AMI Immediately crossed
over to Vicksl,urg, famous in history
for it's long and desperate siege du-
ring the war between the States.
The Introductory speech OF Con-
gressman Williams is u jewel of ora
tory. and bristles with large fund
of civic and political Information, ol
interest and Importance to all. We
do not remember to have ever seen
MS much information ON this impor-
tant subject in AS small space as this
brief speech. To add tn its force the
facts are stated i'm such terms that
all can understand andnppreciate the
subject; and the apt and patriotic
fitting to the surroundings make the
GRAFTON u model treatise on the poll
ties and civics of America. 1t is well
worth reading and thoughtful study
by every patriotic citizen.
President Roosevelts response was
made in like patriotic spirit, and
showed his earnest appreciation ol
the responsibilities resting upon him.
The matter that most strikes the
citizens of the Mississippi Valley,
however, is his unmistakabIe com.
mitment to the project for deep VIII.
ter from the Lakes tn the Gulf" and
all the improvements the plan i'm.
plies. We regret that lack of space
will allow US to give only u portion
of the Presidents speech, but that
part will be found quite interesting.
The attention OF school teachers ia
directed to Mr.. Williams address
They will do well To absorb the infor
mntiOn it contains. SO AK to l'e abl'
to impart it to their larger pupils
We commend this address as Il mod
FL of that liberality that should pre-
vail between political factions. al
we'll as between differing religion
denominations.
