Senator Gamble Here

United States Senator Robert j.
Gamble was here Thursday night.
He intended to address the voters
on the issues of the campaign, but
it seems that for some reason the
meeting was not advertised, and as
a result there was no audience in
evidence. +. E. Morrison. local
precinct committeeman is in Ar
kansas. and as result the notice
sent to him by the chairman of
the county central committee was
not received. Other attempts to
advertise the meeting failed for
one reason or another to material
iZe. and as result the meeting
had to be called off. Scotty Brown
from south of town accompanied
the speaker.
Senator Gamble, however, met
a number of local people, and i'm
pressed them very favorably. file
is companionable, common every
day sort of man, without any
frills. The writer is frank to say
that his personal opinion of the
man is somewhat different from
what it has been heretofore. We
regret very much that the people
of this town and locality did not
have an opportunity to hear him
speak.

Record.
Hon. Chas. H. Burke, of Pierre,
addressed the voters of western
Stanley county in the new hall at
Cottonwood, on Tuesday after
noon. October u, at 2 o'clock p.
m. A good crowd was out to hear
one of the best political addresses
of the year.
Wednesday morning was a scene
of Justice court in the Stanley
County Land Co.'S Office. 1t seems
that one Witherby wanted to do
up Walter Runyan. Walt stood
the thing as long as he cared to,
and then had Witherby brought

him under bonds to keep the

Bowen Gets a Change of Venue

Judge Lyman t. Boucher
listened to arguments of attorneys
at Eureka last Thursday for and
against the motion for change OF
venue in the Bowen murder case.
After extended argument and the
submission of many atfidavits by
both sides. the motion was granted.
The case will now be heard in
one of the counties east OF the
river. though it has not been de-
termincd which one. The attorn-
evs for the defense are as much
opposed to a trial in Hughes coun-
tv as they were to trial in this
county. In view of this fact, it is
likely that the trial will be had in
one of the eastern counties Of the
state.
From the point Of view OF the
lawyer. the change of venue, is a
shrewd move on the part of the
defense, not because it will mean a
removal from a county where
prejudice against the defendant is
AS rife as is claimed but because
it means an embarrassment to the
prosecution that the ordinary per-
son does not understand. The
state has 100 witnesses. and the
TRANSPORTATION of these 10 another
and distant county means an ex-
pcnse that must total several thou
sand dollars. More than that the
trial must now be delayed until
some time next year: important
witnesses are apt to disappear. as
they do sometimes in murder
cases: and Il dozen other things
tend to make the situation :most
trying for the prosecution.
Still it seems the people. especi-
ally in this end of the county,
were desirous that the change be
given. Naturally they must be
willing to foot the bill. More
than that they ought to be pre-
pared for AN acquittal. In any
event. the chances are now decid-
edly in favor of that event.

Northwestern Getting Busy

An outfit of Northwestern sur
veyors have been working for the
past two weeks running lines be-
tween Midland and Leslie, and the
prospects are good for some rail-
road building in Stanley county in
the near future. Supt. Dyke has
within the past month driven his
automobile over nearly all the
territory between the Bad and
Cheyenne rivers. A big grading
contractor who has been intend
ing to leave for other fields has
suddenly decided to stay here for
the winter and there are other

Legislative Apportionment

From territorial days the south
eastern counties of the state have
held a large part of the legislative
strength in both houses on account
of population. If the next census
of the state confirms the figures as
shown on basis of school popula-
ton, which are further backed by
the returns of the state census of
1905, as compared with the census
returns of 1900. there will be
shifting of representatives in the
near future. .s
AS the constitution limits the
membership of the house to 1856,
and that of the senate to As as a
maximum membership, the newer
sections of the state to get their
share OF representation based upon
population must make inroads up
on the older counties.
The next apportionment under
the constitution will be ut the
session OF 1911, following the cen
sus of 1910. From that time on
there will be several savage fights
before an adjustment is made to
change the conditions to give the
newer sections what they are en-
titled to.
In fact the fight will likely be
on at the next session of the legis-
lature, though no actual apportion-
ment can be made until two years
later. The people will do we'll to
consider this fact in voting for
members of the legislature next
Tuesday. Surely we should not
entrust this important matter to
representatives who are bound to
be in the minority.
1t has lately been given out by
the department of state that the
population of Stanley county is
over twenty thousand and that of
the entire state over half a million.
Taking these figures as basis, it
requires no expert mathmatician
to discover that Stanley county is
entitled to six members of the
lower house and two senator's. In
reality we have one representa-
tive and share with Lyman county
the privilege of having a senator.
The country east of the river
had just as well realize now, that
the west end Of the state does not
propose to submit to the present
situation any longer than is abso-
lutely necessary. Likely the
matter will not be settled amicably.
The eastern part of the state has
an exaggerated notion of its poll
tical Importance, barking back to
the old days of the capital fight,
so we people might as we'll grid up
our loins for the fray. 1t is sure
to come.

straws which would indicate that
there is going to be something do
ing by the Northwestern people in
the near future. The Tripp coun-
ty opening will likely be the sig
nal for the extension of their line
from Dallas to connect with the
road at Midland, and then they
will 60 on north to enter the
Cheyenne reservation country,
which will be opened to settlement
in the near future.
The Northwestern road is noted
for getting into these new reserva-
tion districts before the opening
takes place, as they reap a rich
harvest from every opening.
More than that it is not to be
supposed that the Northwestern
means to stand idly by and see the
Milwaukee get the whole works
when the new reservation country
opens next year. That will be ex-
actly the situation unless line is
constructed to compete with the
new coast extension of the Mil
waukee which was pushed across
the north edge Of the reservation
last year. ......-....
Two million dollars was spent
for railroad fares by land seekers,
attracted by the recent Tripp
county opening. AS much more
will be spent by others, who will
be attracted to the same country,
within the next five years before
it is permanently settled. This
alone indicates how valuable the
Cheyenne opening will likely be
to the railroads. ).
Rapid City was visited last weeR
by the head officials of the North
western system and by the officials
of that part of the system west of
the Missouri river, the former
coming in on Il special train late in
the afternoon while the latter ar
rived on special car attached to
No. 5, from Omaha.
Several Of the officials expressed
themselves as highly pleased with
the conditions of the Northwestern,
both as to business and track and
equipment and expressed the
opinion that the material develop
ment of western South Dakota was
not yet in its infancy.
The following gentlemen made
up the party: Marvin Hughitt,
president; Byron, L. Smith, direc-
tor; Chauncey Keep, director, of
Chicago; David P. Kimball, direc-
tor, Boston; G.. c. Osborn, vice
president, New York; w. A.
Gardner, vice president; f. c..
Carter, chief engineer; G. B. Bor-
land, H. r. Mccullough, of Chica-
go; of the Northwestern system,
and of the lines west of the Mis-
souri, river, F. Walters, general
manage; S. F. Miller, general
freight and passenger agent; B. T.
White, general attorney, of
Omaha; S. NJ. Braden. general
superintendent, of Norfolk; L. n.
Costley, superintendent of the
Nebraska, Black Hills and Wyom-
ing division, and C.. +. Dixie,
superintendent of the Pierre line.
In connection with the recent
activity of the Northwestern in
this county, attention should be
called to the fact that the North
western directors hold their regu-
lar annual meeting on November
g., The election will be over,
western officials will make reports,
and the public can be prepared for
the announcement of a new line
west of the Missouri river.

Sake is a light colored. non-efferyes-

from II to % per cent made from rice

In it being produced by fermentation. 7.
