DANVILLE MAN
GETS A MEDAL

A great many people will remember
John l.. Williams, the brother of
Sheriff ID @. Williams, who as a form
er Danville man was widely known in
this vicinity, and who at present is
residing at Butler. Morris county, New
Jersey. Several days ago the brother
fremen OF Mr. Williams at Butler pre-
sented him with a gold badge in honor
of the completion of his forty-fourth
birthday. The occasion is pleasingly
described in the columns Of the Butler
Argus:
John l.. Williams, steward for the
Kinney Hose Co., No. /, is feeling
quite ehesty since last Thursday even
ing, but not without just cause, for if
there is a man on Kinney's member
ship roll who takes pride in keeping
the polished work on the hose cart
shinin' until one can see to part his
hair by glance into the brass mount
ings-that man is John l.. Williams.
Thursday night was regular drill
night, and after going through var
ious evolutions the members of the
company were invited to march In a
body to @. B. L. hall, where a great
surprise was in store for our friend,
John L. Williams. His glance around
the room took note OF everything-a
well-laden table, prepared for stag
party. pretty decorations in profus-
ion but it was not until his eye be-
came focused on a large banner bear
ing the following inscription, "1S64-
John l.. Williams-l90S, that he
tumbled to the fact that Thursday was
his forty-fourth birthday, and that the
elaborate goings-on were in his honor.
1T devolved upon Hugh McMenamy
to take the starch out of our friend,
until he closely resembled a wilted
collar on a very hot day in August.
In a graceful presentation speech in
behalf Of Kinney Hose Company. Mr..
McMenamy presented to Mr.. Williams
a beautiful gold badge, inscribed as
follows: Presented to John L. Will
liams by Kinney Hose Co. Butler Vol.
unteer Fire Department, Nov. 5. 1905 )"
The response was very, very mild,
THANK you. "
Usually very voluble in speech, the
wind in John L. sails suddenly col
lapsed and he was like racing yacht
becalmed at sea-stationary. But his
involuntary action was simply one Of
joy. too full for utterance, don't you
know, especially after he'd partaken of
all the good things set before him, in
cluding that famous Pennsylvania
Dutch dish-sourcrout, which revived
many pleasant memories of happy
days spent in the Keystone State.
Among the invited guests present
who took part in the evenings pro.
ceedings. was Mayor Paul Witteck.
The mayor was right at home among
the boys" who protect our property
from devastation by fire, and he made
short address of pleasing nature.
Fred Holden, of Middletown, N. Y.
a good story teller, had been invited
and responded in happy frame of
mind, and kept the crowd in a state
of hilariousness until it dipsersed,
making all feel the better for having
been present ON the memorable accas-
ion of Mr.. Williams birthday anniy-
ersary. =
When MFR. Williams lived in Dan
Vile he was prominent member of
the Washington Hose company, of this
city. His old company here has ex-
tended an invitation to be their guest
during firemen's week next June,
which has been accepted.

MAY BUILD TO THE COAST
Press Dispatches Tell of Movement OF
the North Western

Much has been said as TO the prob
ability of the North-Western build
ing on west from the present termi-
US at Belle Fourche and it now be-
gins to look as ii the work would lie
taken up this spring. Within the
last few months Belle Fourche was
visited number Of times by head
officials of the Northwestern system
but they have refused to talk of the
proposed extension.
The following press dispatch was
sent out from Butte, Montana, on
Thursday:
That the presence here of promi-
nent officials of the Chicago & North
Western Railroad company affords
ample evidence that an extension of
the system from Belle Fourche, SD,
to Miles City. Mont, thence to the
Pacific coast, is being contemplated,
is the opinion prevailing In railway
circles. Surveys have been complet-
ed to Miles City and it is understood
that steel sufficient to build to this
point has been collected at Belle
Fourche.'
The News, published at Fort Pierre,
recently published the following with
reference to the proposed work:
''This paper is in receipt Of infor-
nation from what il considers a
thoroughly reliable source to the eff
feet that the North Western road is
already preparing to begin work in
the spring extending their line north
and west from Belle Fourche, with
the intention Of going on until the
Pacific coast was reached.
''Chief Engineer Dixie has been
transferred from Pierre to Belle
Fourche and material is already be-
ing hauled to the front. Sufficient
ties have been contracted for up in
the Black Hills country to construct
over two hundred miles of road.
"This will put Fort Pierre on a
transcontinental line
1t is generally understood that a
cutoff will be built from Philip to
Belle Fourche, SO that the run on the
coast line would be lessened consider
ably. In railroad circles it is believed
that the company will soon begin
construction work on this line, and
recent Developments give crsdence to
that effect. The extension would de-
velope fine area OF country west and
north Of us, and shorten the haul
from here to Belle Eourche By thirty
miles, with less grade than would
be had by working the coast trains
| around over the Hills lines,

FIVE GOOD REASONS WHY"
Neighboring Editor is Alive to I'M
portance of Early Reservation
Opening.

The following from the Tolstoy
Leader demonstrates that at least
one editor on the M. & st. l.. extern
sion has correct conception of the
importance of opening the country
west Of the Missouri The same in
terest manifested by everyone east of
the river, whose business would be
affected 10y the opening, would bring
about surprising results.
Senator Gamble has introduced d
bill for the opening of the Cheyenne
Indian reservation this year, Most
reservations have been kept closed
too long for the gcod Of the Indian,
the lands and the millions of white
citizens whose families ought to be
raised and raising crops on these fer
tile but fettered lands.
Why hurry the opening of the
Cheyenne reservation?
/. Because the C. s. n. w. south
Of it, the G. NJ. & ST, Z. north of it,
and our NJ. & ST. l.. ''New Empire"
extension to the east gate of it are
crowding the boundaries of this res
ervation with actual and aggressive
settlers, developing the contiguous
country wondrously and affording the
best facilities for the import and ex-
port of people and products.
?. Because on similar soil and un-
der parallel conditions, there are al
ready large, well-ordered, prospecting
communities in Butte county to the
west, showing what can be done for
the quick homing of these Indian do
mains if once opened to such waiting
and worthy agricultural settlers.
3. Because full and satisfactory
preparation for such opening has been
made, lands have been allotted, in
diyidual selections made and the full
consent of the tribe obtained.
T. Because "now is the accepted
time" South Dakota's present con-
dition and rating are Al, all crops are
excellent and the creme de Ia creme
of settlers would be attracted here
now, whose habits and earnings fur
nish no inducements for following
of sports, sharpers, boot-leggers and
buns.
5. Because it will greatly stimu-
late this young state to larger growth,
Immediately rally hesitants capital
seeking legitimate investment here,
encourage heroic and right railroad
development now going on in this
long-neglected western half of South
Dakota and surely hasten the agri-
cultural conquest of the vast arabic
territory contiguous to these new
transcontinental lines clear to the
Pacific slope.
Friends, write to your senators and
congressman and expect and encour-
age them to push legislation for the
early opening of the gates of this
possible paradise.
