Northwestern Has Great Exten.
sion Plans

1t is announced from the CON-
pany's Offices in Chicago that the
management of the Northwestern
railroad has decided on a liberal
policy of building, both of extern
sions and branch lines, and also q
liberal policy of betterments for
1910. 1t is understood that the
budget includes the building of
approximately 1900 miles of
track, but that all of it will not be
constructed during the coming
year.
Official seal has been placed up
on the construction of approx
mately 465 miles of road thus far,
and as one stretch in Wisconsin is
to be double tracked and the figure
increased to nearly $50 miles,
which will cost fully SIG, ,000, 900.
No coast extension plans have
been definitely decided upon and
it is certain that, aside from a few
preliminary surveys, no plans
toward that end are under way at
the present time. Ultimately the
road will get to the coast, but that
is not regarded as a problem for
immediate solution.
Among the extensions thus far
decided upon two are of interest to
people of this locality: Belle
Fourche Valley, from Belle
Fourche, S. D., easterly and south
easterly to connection with the
Pierre, Rapid City and Northwest
ern distance Of something over =
hundred miles, depending upon
the point where the proposed line
strikes the P. r. G. & N. w. line.
Also, an extension from Dallas, s.
D., westerly through Tripp coun-
ty, distance Of 1912 mil1e.
This may or may not mean an
other railroad for Philip or any
ne;ghboring town on tho line. It
does unquestionably mean another
road for Stanley county. This
much is practically certain. Moro
than that We will not s. surpri1od
if the definite routes 1naon1 =

Government After Perjurers In
Recent Land Drawing
A dispath under LeBeau date
says: Several persons who reg
lster in the recent land lottery are
to be prosecuted on the charge of
perjury. The government is pre-
pairing The evidence and arrests
will be made soon. This informa-
tion comes from source which is
reliable, but cannot be disclosed at
this time.
There are at least fifteen instan-
ces where persons registered more
than once for a chance to draw a
claim. In one case the same person
registered more than once for a
chance to draw a claim. In one
case the same person registered
five times and then failed to draw
a number. Four cases are known
where the register drew two claims
before the registration warning
was given that violation of the
rules in this matter would be pun
ished. Now the government has
decided to act. Every registration
blank has been examined and filed
in alphabetical order, with cross
indexes representing the winning
blanks. In this manner it was not q
difficult matter to detect fraud. Du-
plicate and triplicate registrations
have been discovered The sigma
lures are Identical and the descrip-
tive matter agrees in each instance.
The cost Of filing and properly
arranging the $4,000 registration
blanks amounted to 81, 500. 1t was
necessary to open every envelope
and classify every blank in order
to detect fraud. This task has lust
been completed and the government
is preparing its case against the
offenders.
The minimum sentence for con-
viction on charge of perjury in the
United States court is five years. :"
Jim Elliott Becomes Railroad
Attorney
1t comes from apparently au-
thoritive sources in Chicago that
j. D. Elliot of Tyndall, s. d. has
decided to accept the position of
general counsel for the Milwaukee
railroad in North and South Da-
kOta.
Mr.. Elliott has had the PROPOSE
ton under consideration for some
time, and numerous denials of the
rumor that he would accept the
position have come from South
Dakota sources 1t is now under
stood that the matter is settled and
that Mr.. Elliott will enter upon
his duties about the first of the
year.
The position is a most important
one. Heretofore the Milwaukee
company has had no such official,
the work being handled largly from
the Chicago Office. North and
South Dakota are now grouped to-
gether in one district and legal
matters will be handled for the
company in tho two states from
the South Dakota Office which will
be located at Aberdeen.
