CHANCE TO ADVERTISE NORFOLK

CHANCE TO ADVERTISE NORFOLK
Word from Bonosteel has 1t that
a rush of 100000 persons are expected
into this section for the opening OF
the Trip county lands. and the giant
lottery preceding settlement. People
in the Rosebud rather expect that the
opening will come during the summer
now approaching. II Is said that large
numbers of homeseekers are already
journeying into that section to in
spect the land and, finding 1t OF ex-
cellent quality, are returning home to
tell their neighbors and to advertise
the rush.
Norfolk is the gateway to these
new lands, of which nearly million
acres will be given away From the
east or the south or the west or the
northwest, people desiring to visit the
Trip county must pass through Nor
folk. From four different directions
people may come, Trippward bound,
but there is no escaping a ride through
Norfolk as a gateway.
Wherein, there is an opportunity
for Norfolk Omaha Is out to spend
$25, 900 in advertising the city. Sioux
City has issued 10000 booklets. Ere
mont distributes the "Blue Book"
giving Fremont information, on trains
Many of those circulars go to persons
in no way interested In this section.
Postage Is heavy item.
But here come 100000 persons seek
ing new locations, new homes. Five
thousand of them will draw claims
and become permanent citizens in
Norfolk territory. The balance will
look elsewhere. Some of them come
to see the country not expecting to
draw claims All of them will see
this valley at it's best, with green
fields spread out before the eye to
attest rich productiveness. No better
opportunity, and probably none so
good, will ever be given for Norfolk
to advertise. An attractive booklet,
filled with the good points of the
city, pointing out its advantageous
location and its possible future ought
to bring large sized returns if properly
distributed among the thousands who
are bound to come this way. Perhaps
100000 is too high figure, but that
there will be vast crowd is an as
sured fact.

NEEDS NO REST CURE.

Various Washington dispatches Wig
orously deny the stories that have
been printed In New York and else
where declaring that President Roose-
welt is on the verge of nervous prostra-
ton and that his mind has been more
or less affected by the severe strain
of the past two years.
The stories originated as a result of
the announcement from the white
house that the president believed Har-
rimanHearst- Rockefeller interests had
already raised fund of five million
dollars to beat his policies in the next
congress. 1t was said in the New
York newspapers that the president,
of highly nervous temperament, had
created in his mind the idea that a
conspiracy had been formed against
him.
II is now said that the remark
which was taken seriously by the pres
ident and which formed the founda-
ton for the dispatch from Washington
which told that the president had evil
dence to support his belief that peo-
pie were conspiring against him, was
made by Senator Penrose at time
when he was perhaps not responsible
for all that he did say and that if he
said it at all, it was merely as an ell.
ephantine joke, He denies that he ever
said it. but it is said he might not re,
member just what he did say at the
moment in question,
The New York papers which claim
the presidents mind has been affected
say that his absurd idea that anybody
would hope to defeat his policies by
getting delegations instructed for him
and then swing them to his foes, is
merely the result of nervous suspicion
brought about by too much nerve
strain.
II is said, however, that while the
incident is now seen in Washington
in the light of a joke, it has had the
effect of bringing to the president
many messages attesting his popular
ity and strength all over the nation
and thus assuring him that, should he
decide to run again. he could easily
win.
One Washington report says that
New York need not worry over the
presidents mental condition; that he
is as fully as ever able to take care of

JAMES i HILLS SON.

The rise of Louis Hill to the presi-
dency of the Great Northern railroad,
succeeding his father, James j, Hill,
affords an example worth serious con
sideration by young men. Young Hill
worked his way up, despite his fathers
position. He graduated from Yale in
1893 and started In at the foot of the
Great Northern's Office work He was
never promoted because he was any
thing but deserving of promotion. AT
ter he had gone through various lower
office positions he was put out on the
road as a travelling freight agent. He
got $75 per month during all this time
Finally young Hill got up to the
vice presidency. When his father de-
cided to retire Louis Hill, practical
railroad man, and not Louis Hill, rail
road magnate's son, was ready to step
in and capably attend to the duties
of the office.
With his practical training, 1t is pre-
dicted that he will make an ideal rail
road president, With the method of
development used on him. the country
has an example worth looking at
Many a railroad magnate would have
placed his son in a soft job without
fundamental training. Jim Hill appre-
ciated the value of diploma from the
University of Hard Work. His son
was made to work just as hard as
any other employe. and perhaps he
worked harder.
At all events, his rise because he
had earned the promotion would hard.

PRESIDENTIAL EXCITEMENT

PRESIDENTIAL EXCITEMENT
Telegraph wires are growing red hot
with presidential gossip. There are
guesses and rumors and interviews
and denials and resolutions of en-
dorsement. On Tuesday morning
kilograms from Washington said it
was expected that Minnesota legisla-
ture would pass resolution endors-
ing the president for another term;
that afternoon the resolution was
passed, calling upon Theodore Roose-
welt to accept another term. But in
the meantime the Iowa legislature
turned down resolution of the same
kind. Perhaps the fine Italian hand
of Cummins, who has aspirations, may
be recognized in this. One telegram
from Washington says that Taft and
Cum. ms form the republican national
ticket as selected by the administra-
ton. 1t is said that Cummins prefers
La Toilette for the head of the ticket,
but politicians generally believe Cum
Minis would run in second place under
any conditions possible. La Toilette
is said not to be in favor at the white
house for first place. One element
declares 1t will be Taft against the
field and that, Taft failing, Roosevelt
will be forced to accept Meanwhile
Forakers war an Taft goes merrily
on in Ohio and his first speech was
heard by big crowd.
The story of conspiracy" to de-
feat Roosevelt policies, alleging that
five million dollars had been raised
Tor that purpose, has caused no end
of excitement. AS one result it is
said that Root will leave the cabinet.
1t is said Root strongly advised the
president to ignore Harriman's letter
and urged him not to give out the
conspiracy" story. 1t is said Root
is not altogether in harmony with the
administration; that he has been used
as an administrative mouthpiece in
| disagreeable occasions, such as at
, lacking Hearst, and that he has been
discarded by Roosevelt in favor of
Taft for presidential aspirations. It
is thought he may have some hope
for securing the nomination and that
he can better foster his ambition out
OF the cabinet than in it. But that
is not the end of the conspiracy ex.
| citement Shrewd astute attorneys
like John NJ, Thurston and Senator
Foraker claim that the use of the
word conspiracy" coming from the
white house was exceedingly unfor-
tunate and they express desire that
proof of a conspiracy be produced.
Conspiracy means a combination to
commit some reasonable act or incite
resurrection against government,
ruler or state" one is quoted as hav-
ing said. Another sequel to the Har-
riman-Roosevelt tilt is the renewed
