One Advantages Of New Style Cars.
One of the greatest blessings of the
pay-as-you-enter cars is that the ques.
tion Of how women shall get Off cars Is
Solved The 50 called grab handles are
on the front sides of the door only. A
woman leaving the car must face this
handle and consequently must get on
facing in the direction in which the
car is going. While it kills one Of
mans greatest arguments against suf-
frage, the fact that women will at last
make a graceful exit from a car win
cause sigh OF relief from every lover
of the beautiful in art--or nature.

Work on the Tariff

The state board Of railway commits
sioners, at it's recent meeting In Sioux
Falls decided to take under considera-
tion The formulation of new sched-
ule Of freights, for that section of the
state lying west OF the Missouri river
The new tariff will include rates be-
tween points this side of the river
and west OF that stream.
The tariff has never been establish
ed and put into effect, because the
two extensions of railroad, one by the
Milwaukee and the other by the
Northwestern, were not completed
when the tariffs for other sections of
state were established. The rates are
expected to be In effect within the
next sixty days and it is understood
that the new tariff will reduce the
freight rates prevailing In that Sec
tion of South Dakota.
Action upon this matter may be ex-
pected at the next meeting OF the
commission In this city on the 18th.

THE MIDLAND MEETING

The STANLEY county republican
central committee met at Midland
last Thursday evening in response to
call issued by the chairman. There
were thirtysix members present or re-
presented by proxy, out of a total
committee membership of fortyeight.
Another member was elected to fill
the vacancy of Mort Dunning, from
one of the Fort Pierre wards. Mr..
Dunning was secretary of the COM
| mittee and had no vote, but some
rapid calculator in the bunch found
| they were one vote short ii the pre-
arranged scheme was to be carried
out, SO man that was right" was
elected the Fort Pierre precinct given
three votes on the committee. and
the trick turned.
On a motion that the March prim-
aries be dispensed with there were
26 ayes, 10 nays, and one passed. The
chair, contrary to the letter and
spirit Of the law, declared the motion
carried, and later committee ap-
pointed for the purpose brought i'm the
pre-arranged list of delegates to the
state convention in April at Huron.
The vote for the motion to dispense
with the primary should have been
cast by thirtytwo members, but the
four or five Fort Pierre men who vot-
ed, by proxy and otherwise, fourteen
votes I'm support of the motion had
decided it was the duty they owed to
the Great l Am" to take the matt
er entirely out of the hands of the
voters of the county, and violate, if
they must the, express provisions of
the divine primary law,
The Review is against such work,
such bossism, and we believe the ma
jority OF the voters of the county will
register their votes, when they get
the chance, in such manner that
will forever put the quietus on politi-
cal methods OF this kind. If the
matter had been handled legally it
would have been different, and no
one would have kick coming.
AS a matter OF fact, the insurgents
of the county were afraid of the
cars" and decided that they would
cinch the deal while they had the
chance. Nine delegates from this
county, named by the boss" will 60
to Huron to attend the state conven-
tion in April. If the stalwarts of
the state have control Of the conven-
tion, of which there does not now
seem doubt, delegates selected In
this arbitrary and illegal fashion will
not be seated; at least our opinion,
and that Of every fair-minded man in
the county is, that they should
not be.

as follows with reference to new

The North Western road has re-

Blunt, and is again putting on rail
laying crew to finish the gap OF about
seyenty-tive miles Of heavy steel so
that the road bed can be used by
ieayy trains between Chicago and
the Black Hills. As soon as the
stretch of track is completed the new
Black Hills special will be one of the
features of the line. When work was
shut down last fall there remained a
gap between Holabird and Huron vet
to care for, and this will be closed up
as rapidly as possible, and probably
will be completed early in the sum
mer. After that different class of
trains will be seen running through
this city than those now in use on
the road, as the track will be i'm con-
dition to handle the heaviest of trains.

mately $50, 900 acres of land which
were segregated in October, 1908,
pending Investigation as to the FEAST
hility of the Lake Basin irrigation
project, have been restored to ths
public domain. These lands will not
become subject to entry and settle
ment, however, until such dates and
after such notice by publication as
the secretary of the interior may pre-
scribe. The very high cost per acre
for construction makes it Impractical
ble under present conditions for thu

An extension of three months has
been granted to the contractors OF

such an extent that it was necessar.
to extend the time of completion.
